The Rapture: Day 4

Today is the last day of my four day segment on the rapture.

Question: When will the rapture happen?

Answer: No one (except God) knows when the rapture will happen. Many people try to guess when it will happen, but they are wrong. There are many prophocies that must be fufilled before the beggining of the tribulation (which means the prophecies can still be fufilled after the rapture). There are only a handful that haven't been fufilled yet. Most prophocies have been or are being fufilled. I will have a segment on prophecies soon. I mentioned one of the prophocies the other day. Click on the link to see it, Prophecy.

The Rapture: Day 3

Let me first state that no one (except God) knows when the rapture will occur, and that I am not trying to predict anything. I am going to share some simple answers about the rapture.


Question: Will the people who have never heard the Gosple be raptured?

Answer: Before the rapture occurs everyone will have a chance to hear the Gosple, and have a chance to accept it or deny it. Mattew 24:14 says, "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come." Everyone single person on the planet will have heard the truth before Jesus comes back. It is then their choice to believe it.

Tomorrow I will have another question and answer about the rapture.

The Rapture: Day 2

Let me first state that no one (except God) knows when the rapture will occur, and that I am not trying to predict anything. I am going to share some simple answers about the rapture.

Question: What will it look like when Jesus comes back?

Answer: It will only last a second when people vanish out of their clothes. In Revelation 1:7 it says   " 'Look, he is coming with the clouds,' and 'every eye will see him, even those who pierced him;' and all peoples on earth 'will mourn because of him.' So shall it be! Amen." Jesus will come with the clouds means he will be coming in the sky. I imagine him being up in the sky when he takes his followers to heaven with him. In the Bible it says the trumpet will sound when Jesus comes down. I assume those who are raptured will hear the trumpet blow.

Tomorrow I will have another question and answer about the rapture.

The Rapture: Day 1

Let me first state that no one (except God) knows when the rapture will occur, and that I am not trying to predict anything. I am going to share some simple answers about the rapture.

Question: Will everyone see Jesus when he returns?
Answer: Some belive only those who are saved will see him, but others beleive everyone will see. In the Left Behind: The Kids, Tim Lahaye and Jerry B. Jenkins say that those left behind will not see Jesus. Revelation 1:7 says, " 'Look, he is coming with the clouds,' and 'every eye will see him, even those who pierced him;' and all peoples on earth 'will mourn because of him.' So shall it be! Amen." The Bible says every eye will see him, even those who have sinned against him. This could still mean that only believers will see him, because everyone, including believers, have sinned against God.

Tomorrow I will have another question and answer about the rapture.

Tomorrow's Post

Ever wonder what being raptured is like? Will we just float up to heaven? There is only a short part in Revelation about the rapture, but the answers can be found. Tomorrow I will discuss the rapture. Stay tuned!

Romans 10:13

The Mark of the Beast

The mark of the beast is described in Revelation 14:9-12.


9 A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives its mark on their forehead or on their hand, 10 they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. They will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment will rise forever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.” 12 This calls for patient endurance on the part of the people of God who keep his commands and remain faithful to Jesus.


Explanations:

Revelation 14:9 - The mark of the beast (Antichrist) will be tattooed on the forehead or right hand.

Revelation 14:10 - When a person takes the mark of the beast they will no longer be able to get saved. Once they've taken the mark they will go to hell when they die or when Jesus comes back at the end of the tribulation.
Revelation 14:11 - When unbelievers are thrown in the lake of fire, they will be tormented day and night, forever and ever.

Revelation 14:12 - Those who refuse the mark of the beast will go through trials and hardships. Many will be beheaded. But in the end, their eternity will be with God in heaven.

The Death of Antichrist

      Many believe the Antichrist will die in the middle of the tribulation, but only God knows for sure. Revelation 13:10 says, “If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity they will go. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword they will be killed.” This leads me to believe that Antichrist will be killed by sword. When Antichrist dies, all of his followers will mourn. He will remain dead for three days (just like Jesus). On the third day he will rise from the dead, and be indwelled by Satan. Antichrist will say he has risen himself from the dead, and claim to be god.

The Antichrist

     The Antichrist is described in Revelation 13:1 as “The dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name.” The ten horns represent the ten kingdoms of the restored Roman Empire. He will eventually subdue three of them.


     The Antichrist will rule over the world. He will say he wants peace, but because of the judgments, he will not get peace. Many people will follow and praise him. Christians will know that Antichrist is trying to deceive them, and it will not work. Those who are become saved during the tribulation will not fall into Antichrists lies.

Characteristics of the Antichrist:

1. He will be good looking

2. He will be of European decent

3. He will speak boastfully

4. He will have power to persuade

5. He will be successful

6. He can perform false miracles

7. He will kill Christians

8. He will be the highest of authority

9. He will promote sin

10. He will say he is God (which is not true)



     These are just a few of the characteristics of the Antichrist. Many people will say “This person is the Antichrist,” or “This person has fulfilled all the prophecies.” But don’t believe that. Only God knows who the Antichrist is, and he does not want us to try and guess this, because when we say someone is the Antichrist, we are insulting them. According to God something as small as an insult is considered murder, and murder is against the Ten Commandments.

     Tomorrow I will discuss what happens when the Antichrist is killed. See you then!

IS EVOLUTION FOR REAL?

By: ANONYMOUS

For years evolution has been taught in schools around the country, but many concepts of evolution have been questioned. Many people are curious to know: IS evolution for real? There have been many theories, and possibility’s, but there is one, solid answer that has been proven correct.

The answer, is evolution for real?...

NO. Plain and simple, no. There are many facts of evolution that are absolutely impossible. Evolution is a myth. You want to know the truth? The truth is creation. Creation is a fact, not an opinion. Let me explain creation, and you might see why it seems more practical, over evolution.

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1. The fact is, God made this world, the people, the animals, everything. It makes more since that we were planned creation, and not ‘formed’ by chance. I find it more assuring that there is an explanation for every little detail of our existence on this earth, instead of a shady explanation. I have made a chart of ‘Creation vs. Evolution.’ Hopefully you will see that creation is far truer than evolution.

CREATION                                                                    EVOLUTION

God created us in his own image                               We were ‘formed’ through apes

God spoke and the world was made                     A cell exploded and the world just

                                                                                    happened to be made

God gives people pigment in their skin                                       ?

that makes them appear a certain color              

The world was created 4,000-8,000 years ago          The world evolved billions of years ago

The worlds formation was planned                        The worlds formation just happened

The world is given everything it needs                      The world is low on resources

Man sins because his father, dating                        No one knows why man sins

back to Adam sinned

As you can see, creation has all the answers (and they’re reasonable), evolution does not. I only covered seven out of thousands of questions about creation and evolution. There are so many unanswered questions about evolution, creation has all the answers.

Many people say, “Creation is just a religion. It’s crazy.” If you think creation is crazy because it is a religion, then you must realize that evolution is a religion too. Evolution is a belief, which makes it a religion. Schools say, “Religion isn’t aloud,” but they are teaching a religion. Many say that people who believe in creation only believe it on faith, which isn’t enough. Were you there when the world ‘evolved?’ I didn’t think so. You weren’t there; nobody was, so people who believe in evolution also believe it on, faith. Many people who believe in creation also know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. People who believe this are not “religious nuts.” They have a personal relationship with God. I ask that you consider creationists point of view, and consider it as your own.



Fun Fact

Originally, Tim Lahaye and Jerry Jenkins were planning on writing 48 books for the series. Although, as we know, only 40 books were published. The extra eight books were going to fill in the two year gap that is in the series. The books still turned out really well though!

The Millennium (Satan's Doom)

I find the millenium the most confusing part in Revelation. At the beginning of the millennium Satan will be thrown into the Abyss. He will be in the Abyss so he can't deceive people anymore. Once the thousand years are up, Satan will be set free for a short time. While Satan is free, he will gather four nations and prepare them for battle. But of course, God will win, and Satan will face defeat. God will then cast Satan and all the other nonbelievers into the lake of fire, also known as Hell. All the believers will go live on the new, perfect earth.

The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but victory rests with the Lord.

Ryan Daley Pre-Rapture

This is a little preview of what Ryan's life was like before the rapture.

Ryan Daley

Ryan and his parents ignored the truth. Unlike the others, Ryan did not grow up in a Christian home. Ryan’s best friend, Raymie Steele, would explain God’s love to him. Ryan would go and ask his parents about God, but they would tell him it is just a fantasy. Ryan was in middle school before the rapture. He was a typical kid. He enjoyed playing tag and hide-and-go-seek. He doesn’t like being alone, he prefers to have someone around. He was pretty immature before the rapture. Ryan was home alone, his dad was on a plane, and his mom was going to the O’Hare Airport to pick up Mr. Daley, when people vanished, right out of their clothes.

Lionel Washington Pre-Rapture

This is a little preview of what Lionel's life was like before the rapture.

Lionel Washington

Lionel was always a phony. He grew up in a Christian atmosphere. His parents, siblings, and even long distance cousins were Christians. Lionel acted like he believed in God, but he was more interested in the way of his uncle, Andre Dupree. Uncle Andre was a drug dealer, an alcoholic, and a thief. Lionel wasn’t interested in going to jail or becoming an alcoholic, but he admired the risk Andre took. His mom, Lucinda, knew Cameron “Buck” Williams, because she was the senior editor of Global Weekly. His older sister, Clarice, knew Vicki because she rode the bus with her. One evening Lionel was excited to get a visit from Andre. They slept in the basement, and when Lionel woke up, he was shocked to find his family (except for Andre) were gone.

Vicki Byrne Pre-Rapture

This is a little preview of what Vicki's life was like before the rapture.

Vicki Byrne

Vicki was a rebel. She tried to “fit in” with the wrong crowd. She lived in a trailer park with her dad Tom, her mom Dawn and her younger sister Jeanni. She had an older brother who was away at college in Michigan. She felt that she needed to be tough, in order to appear cool, since all the kids in school looked down on kids who lived in trailer parks. Her parents smoked and drank alcohol a lot. She took after them and would sneak away from her trailer at night to smoke and drink. When she was twelve (two years before the rapture), a pastor came to the trailer park during a wild party and preached. Her parents and her younger sister accepted Jesus into their hearts. Even her brother, who was in Michigan believed. Her family tried to tell her the truth of the word of God, but she wouldn’t listen. She always thought her parents were crazy to believe in God, and to think that Jesus would come back one day. That is until one night, when everything turned upside down, and her parent’s predictions of Jesus’ return had come true.

Judd Thompson Pre-Rapture

This is a little preview of what Judd's life was like before the rapture:

Judd Thompson Jr.

Judd didn't beleive in God. He would wear dark clothes and try to act as “un-Christian” as possible. At church he would make it known that he was not interested and didn’t care about anything that was being said. He was light skinned with short hair and a goatee (a patch of hair on his chin). He was skinny and in pretty good shape. He did not get along with his mom and dad, Judd Thompson Sr. He loved his younger brother and sister Mac and Marci, but was embarrassed by them. He wanted to get out of his parents rule, so he decided to steal money from his dad and run away to Europe. On the plane is when the rapture occurred. His parents and siblings were taken during the rapture, but Judd had been left behind.

New Series This Week

Starting tomorrow I will begin a series on Judd, Vicki, Lionel, and Ryan's life before the rapture. It is not mentioned much in the book, so you will get to hear that part of their lives here!

Also, in a few weeks I will be releasing a copy of The Underground that would be released in this time period!

Left Behind The Movie Remake

 According to Cloud Ten Pictures, "Left Behind The Movie: The Remake" is being made. There are already three Left Behind movies, but now Cloud Ten Pictures wants to remake the movies on a bigger budget. The original movies are called “Left Behind: The Movie,” “Left Behind II: Tribulation Force,” and “Left Behind: World at War.” For the first movies, there was a $4 million budget. But now, Cloud Ten Pictures is aiming for a $15 million budget. They were hoping to begin shooting in late 2011. But, because of the absence of a director, they were not able to begin shooting until 2012. Cloud Ten Pictures have not released much information about the cast, but they did say they are not bringing back the original actors. A release date has not been determined.

Happy 4th!

Happy 4th of July!

This morning I was thinking, 'How would the kids celebrate the 4th of July after the rapture.' And  I came to a conclusion. They wouldn't! With all the chaos going on, I don't think the 4th of July would be their main concern. How do you think they would celebrate?

Fun Fact

Here's a little fun fact for you. In book number five (Nicolae High) Judd and Vicki meet John and Mark who are one grade older than Judd. In book number seven (Busted) when Judd graduates, Mark and John are also graduating. The writers held them back a grade, or just didn't realize it. I guess that was a mistake in the book!

Left Behind The Kids Bio

Left Behind The Kids is the adventurous story of four kids and their race against time to tell people about the word of God. Judd Thompson, Vicki Byrne, Lionel Washington, and Ryan Daley find themselves alone after their families where taken in the rapture. They team up and create the Young Tribulation Force. With the help of friends they meet along the way, they fight against Nicolae Carpathia (the Antichrist) and his team to reach out to nonbelievers. Will they survive the mayhem of the judgments and the threats of the Global Community? How far will they go to spread the Gospel? How far would YOU go?
