Midnight darkness is deep darkness. We will need all the supply we can get!
Should the Bridegroom tarry. What does that Darkness look like? Evil. What is the preparation?Mentally: expect the unexpected. Your theology might have to bust the box it's currently in.
Spiritually: We are ALWAYS to focus on the UNSEEN. As we do, we become what we behold: empowered by Yah whose Kingdom is to Come to earth, as in Heaven. WORSHIP Most High. REMAIN IN His Son - THAT IS ALWAYS OUR PLACE OF spiritual SAFETY!
Physically: Go ahead and store food/water, have emergency shelter. But BETTER IS: press in to operate in the "powers of the age to come". Do what Yeshua did: Multiply food. There is also water available coming out of the Spirit realm; divine oil emerges: supernatural supply.
Best to not give up if He delays. Evil may wax worse, but that doesn't mean He isn't STILL COMING! If the oil is HOPE, we MUST maintain that, be ready to need/use extra supply. On the other hand, His delay is no reason to go all fleshy and act out junk. But that's another parable!
