What Unexpected Skill Would You Contribute During the Apocalypse?

Apart from a seasoned runner, I possess a remarkable flexibility that might come in handy during the apocalypse. I can teach people a unique skill: bending over and kissing their ass goodbye without causing undue stress. No one needs a nagging backache on top of everything else when the world is ending. This skill can help prevent additional pain and frustration in a dire situation, adding some humor and positivity.

It frustrates me when people ask me about the unexpected skill I could contribute during an apocalypse, knowing that my answer will fall on deaf ears. I believe I have a profound knowledge that could help a lot of people survive the approaching apocalypse. However, I implore them to first address my question: Where are they? I want to help guide people through the valley of darkness that lies ahead. I scream into the abyss, but receive nothing but silence in return. This does not stem from hubris, but from the depths of my soul, where I know the true way. Jesus knew it, but the church has corrupted it to serve its selfish desires. The second coming does not have to be the rapture.

When the apocalypse means revelation, and the tribulation has Christians murdered by the Anti-Christ, the only power we have is to help people hold fast to their faith. They must believe that God will keep His promise and resurrect them, and that in that day, they will not even recall the events they endure for His word. This is where the true power lies, not in survival skills but in spiritual fortitude.
