Surviving Without Buying or Selling: How Much Land Do You Really Need? The Final Countdown

Are you really prepared to survive when you can't buy or sell? What is the real time of trouble—and when does it start? Many assume “our bread and water will be sure,” meaning we don’t need to prepare, but is that true? In this week’s powerful study, "Surviving Without Buying or Selling: How Much Land Do You Really Need?," MacKenzie Drebit revisits the prophetic timeline from Revelation and Daniel to show that the real time of trouble begins after the close of probation, not during the mark of the beast crisis. Why does that matter? Because it affects how and when we should prepare. What does it mean to get ready like Noah or Joseph? Is preparation optional, or commanded by God?


We dig into Isaiah 33 and the Spirit of Prophecy to uncover what God expects of His people during the no-buy, no-sell period—when probation is still open. From learning to grow your own food to leaving the cities before it’s too late, MacKenzie shares practical insights and spiritual urgency for today’s believers. Can you survive off-grid without modern machinery? What does it take to live without access to stores or fuel? Why are land, water, and wood the three essentials for end-time survival—and what happens if you’re missing even one?


This isn’t just theory—your preparation is your testimony, a living sermon. But what does preparation look like in practical terms? MacKenzie answers some of the most frequently asked questions:  How long will the time of trouble last? Can I live on a Christian commune? Where can I get good seeds? Can I come to AD Farm to learn how to farm? What if I don’t know how to garden at all? Plus: Is the time of trouble the same as the tribulation? Does probation close for Seventh-day Adventists first at the National Sunday Law? Don’t miss this episode—it may be the most important one yet!
