So help me out here...I'm a little confused.
You feel "persecuted" by your friends and family, and so you are running to the "cities and mountains" like the bible tell you to do? I have some issues with that.
First of all, what do you consider persecution? Running from family and friends because they disagree with you or think you're crazy is NOT persecution. If they were threatening to kill you or beat you then you may have a good reason to leave, but I'd try calling the police first. Scripture says the whole world will hate you for Jesus's sake, so you are certainly not experiencing "end of days" tribulations.
Secondly the bible says nothing about fleeing to cities in the face of persecution, in fact it says to avoid cities! Execution and imprisonment is really the only option, fleeing into the wilderness is for a blessed few. The people who flee to the mountains are the ones who hide in caves and plead the rocks to fall on them.
If you really look at scripture you'll see that there are many more things that have to happen before the "end of days". So don't try to convince us that this is why you are running away, its just insulting.
I can see God now, "Oh! You fled to Colorado? From Alaska? You left one of the most wild and beautiful states for one of the most liberal and anti-god? Good move".....
