Disasters are here and more coming: Build High, Build Dry, Build Safer

Revelation 21:16, “The city was laid out in a square; its length was the same as its width. He measured the city with the measuring stick, 2,220 kilometers in length; its length, width, and height were the same.” See Rev. 21:9ff to see all the description of the New Jerusalem. Most believers today when thinking about the New Jerusalem see in their mind an extremely large CUBE. I beg to differ, I see it as a Ziggurat (or Zikkurat, if you prefer), with equal length, width, and height, with a flat space for the Throne of Yehowah/Yeshua/Ruach Ha’Kodesh. The New Jerusalem may descend to above the earth/old Jerusalem, UPSIDE DOWN, so that the Throne room is closest to earth, and our mansion/living quarters are stacked up above the Throne of Yehowah. Envision Yeshua holding us up in our upside down Ziggurat home called New Jerusalem, FOR ALL OF ETERNITY! This may give you a more accurate vision of what John the Revelator was describing in Revelation 21.
If you live in an area, country, or on land that is subject to regular flooding, you need to move, or migrate, to higher ground. If that is not a practical option for you, you may need to learn to build. Learn to build tree houses. There is lots of money to be made just building tree houses for people. Learn to build rock, stone, or concrete Ziggurats, with flat space on top for a home, business, or congregation meeting space. If you cannot build, learn to consult with construction people, with local city, state, or federal government engineers. There’s lots of money to be made in construction consulting. Become an architect, an engineer, or a construction contractor. Humans have been building since the beginning of time. Learn to be a builder. My Dad was an excellent woodworker/carpenter/lumber yard manager. My brother is a master woodworker, though his body is broken down now in his elder years. My son is a master craftsman/machinist/programmer. Building is an excellent career choice and a great second career for Pastors, evangelists, teachers, disciplers, healers, etc. Humans are always building and always have a need to build something. Get into it today.

You have nothing to lose and much to gain, like a dry, warm, safe place to live and worship.
Here’s a sample to dream and pray about. You would want to build as many flat surfaces onto your ziggurat as possible, for humans to run up to during floods, fires, etc. If you have lots of low level floods, you need to build up to 20 feet, or 40 feet, or more up into the air. Get high today.
Move to a forest with large solid trees, or move near a rock/stone quarry. Tree houses are probably much cheaper to build than a stone Ziggurat. If you don’t have the funds today, you may need to start an import business to import tree house building equipment and supplies, then sell to your fellow countrymen. Buy one hammer, buy one saw, buy one drill, buy one level, buy one tape measure, etc. One at a time, but start buying and selling tools to survive with.
