📦 The Days of Tribulation Box: A Call to Action and Preparation
The study of prophecy is sterile until it commands action. The imminent Return of the Lord requires not just intellectual acknowledgment of the signs, but tangible, physical preparation. The Days of Tribulation Box (Dot Box) is the practical fulfillment of faith—a vital supply kit assembled now, while means are available, for the intense trials of the final hour.
This act of provision is a profound testimony, confirming that you have read the signs and are committed to the Defence of the Truth until the end.
The Mandate: Equipping the Saints
Scripture is clear: we must be vigilant. “Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh” (Mark 13:35 KJV). Our preparation must account for the physical needs of endurance and the spiritual needs of evangelism and instruction.
Understanding the Dot Box: Preparation for Every View
The beauty of the Dot Box is that it transcends denominational differences. Regardless of your view on the timing of the Rapture, this box serves as an essential tool for enduring or instructing those left behind.
| View of the Tribulation | The Dot Box Use and Rationale |
| Pre-Tribulation View | The Provision Left Behind. The assembler believes they will be Raptured. The box is strategically prepared and left for those who remain, serving as a ready-made library and survival guide for their sudden conversion during the Tribulation. |
| Mid-Tribulation View | Provision for the First Half. The assembler expects to endure the initial period of tribulation. The box serves as an essential cache of supplies to sustain them and allow them to witness until the mid-point Rapture occurs. |
| Post-Tribulation View | Provision for the Full Endurance. The assembler expects to endure the full Tribulation period. The box is a personal, vital survival and evangelism kit designed to provide physical strength and the means to defend the faith until the Lord’s glorious Return. |
