❤How did Jesus prepare us for catastrophic events?Remember what Jesus prophesied. Unlike some in the world who do not imagine that a disaster will ever affect them personally, we expect an increase in disastrous events, some of which could affect us. Jesus told his followers that “great earthquakes” and other disasters would occur before the end comes. (Luke 21:11) He also prophesied that there would be an “increasing of lawlessness,” which is evident in crime, violence, and terrorist attacks. (Matt. 24:12) Jesus never said that these calamities would impact only those whom Jehovah has abandoned. In fact, many of Jehovah’s faithful servants have been victims of disasters. (Isa. 57:1; 2 Cor. 11:25) Jehovah may not miraculously protect us from all disasters, but he will give us whatever we need to remain calm and at peace.10. Why is preparing now for a disaster an expression of faith? (Proverbs 22:3)We will find it easier to remain calm in an emergency if we have planned in advance how to respond. But does preparing indicate that we lack faith in Jehovah? Not at all. In fact, preparing for a disaster shows that we do have faith in his ability to care for us. How so? God’s Word advises us to prepare for potential disasters. (Read Proverbs 22:3.) And through magazine articles, congregation meetings, and timely announcements, God’s organization has repeatedly urged us to prepare for an emergency. Do we trust Jehovah? If so, we will follow that advice now​-before a disaster strikes
