Dr. Paul Craig Roberts knows what's coming in part:
The warnings and exhortations are about to end:
Time is running out and the wrath of God is about to be unleashed:
There is without any shadow of doubt that we are on the verge of a time of great trouble for the whole earth and have been hearing many noising abroad of social and economic collapse leading to WORLD WAR III. How this plays out will be according to the scripture and not someone who has their own private interpretation of these matters. The evil men and seducers are waxing worse and worse deceiving and being deceived and even some who have a form of godliness are denying the power thereof. For those of us in Christ Jesus we may have to suffer persecution here but nevertheless the glory is about to be revealed in us as our Lord Jesus is soon coming just as he has promised. And let all the world tremble at his coming. Even so, come Lord Jesus:

The answer to survival here is not GOLD and SILVER but is rather summed up in the following verses of scripture which is easily forgotten by them that have more than heart could wish:
If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
--I TIMOTHY 6.3-13
