The cult has stockpiled enough water, canned goods, grain and ready-to-eat meals to last several months. Even if electricity is cut off, the group may have its own emergency generators. Koresh is telling negotiators that he is annoyed by reports that he has claimed to be Christ, despite the stories of ex-cult members that he often did so. Though he is reported to have urged his flock last Easter to prepare for mass suicide, he now insists that they will not turn their guns upon themselves. But people who know them well are not reassured. Say the worried Lisa and Bruce Gent: "They will kill for him." And Koresh, a man caught up in a dream of the Apocalypse, may be ready to die as well.
