How do we prepare in light of promised tribulation in this world? Not by stockpiling as if we know the times or the seasons (though as noted, having a few supplies for emergencies is always prudent, no matter what the emergency might be). We prepare the same way Daniel and his three friends did: by being faithful in whatever situations we find ourselves now. We prepare for suffering in the same way that we prepare for our Lord’s imminent return: We watch and pray and walk with Jesus Christ our Lord.
