Young Trib Force's Verse

A Bible verse I think the Young Tribulation Force might have as a motto would be 1 Timothy 4:12 which says:

 

" Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity."

A Letter From Chris Fabry

Chris Fabry is a very talented author who helped write Left Behind The Kids. I recently sent him an  e-mail and I am pleased to say he has replied. The letter is below. (The red is what Mr. Fabry wrote).

Hi Mr. Fabry!

I absolutely love your book series Left Behind The Kids! Here are some questions I would be delighted if you would answer:

1.       Is there a Left Behind The Kids movie or T.V. show in the future?

I haven’t heard definitively. They were trying to make a movie or TV series for a while and it got hung up. I think there are still people who would love to see that.

2.       What was it like working with Tim Lahaye and Jerry Jenkins?

It was a lot of fun. I wrote 35 of the books with them over a period of several years. The most fun was to take what had happened to the adults and fit the same thing with the kids. I remember one book where the locusts were zooming in and one kid takes a baseball to one of them.

3.       How long did it take to write each book?

I worked with Jerry on the plot, then put my head down and wrote for probably 5 weeks or so. I edited, sent it to him, he edited, then we sent it to the publisher and started on the next one.

4.       What kind of outcome did you expect with the book series? Were you surprised at the outcome?

I wasn’t surprised at how many sold because the adult series had already sold so many copies. The surprise was the spiritual wallop—people writing and telling us they had prayed when Vicki or Judd prayed. And others told us they had begun to read the Bible again after thinking it was boring.

5.       Could you please write my blog viewers a short note?

After the Left Behind: The Kids Series, Jerry and I went on to write a series called Red Rock Mysteries. Then another called The Wormling. I’ve written several novels for adults since then and I attribute being able to work on this series for much of the discipline I need today.

If you get an opportunity, big or small, allow God to use you right where you are. If you dream of singing on a big stage but you’re stuck washing floors, sing in the hallway and do everything for God’s glory. Then nothing you do will be wasted.

What Will Heaven be Like?

   The Bible says that Heaven is above the world, that God looks down upon the earth and when Jesus left this earth he accended "up to Heaven". Mark 16:19

   Heaven is a place of light, love, holiness, happiness, righteousness, good, worship, service, joy, peace and eternal life because Jesus is there. The New Jerusalem will be the new capital of the world and the place where those saved gather to worship. There will be no darkness, hate, sin, sadness, unrighteousness, sorrow, or death. Of course when nothing goes wrong and everything is good, you know your in heaven. What a wonderful reward from the Lord our God who loves us and redeemed us!
Heres a little information of heaven:

• It Is A Place of No More Thirst, Hunger, Sorrow, Pain or Death – Revelation 21:4
• Heaven Is A Place Where Nothing Can Be Corrupted – Matthew 6:20, Rev. 21:27
• It Is A Place Of Pleasures Forevermore – Psalm 16:11, 1 Corinthians 2:9
• It Will Be A Place Of Worship – Revelation 15:4
• It Will Be A Place Of Constant Illumination – Revelation 21:23.

   Heaven is described in the Bible very clearly as an actual place. It is not a feeling or figure of the imagination. Some say that you do not have to die in order to get to heaven, but that when Jesus is in your heart you have heaven in you. I personally am not sure about that, but do not disagree either. I am excited to one day be face to face with God in heaven!

144,000 Witnesses in the Book

Revelation 7:4 says, "Then I heard the number of those who were sealed: 144,000 from all the tribes of Israel."

In the book series many witnesses were mentioned. The witnesses are those who were Jews during the rapture, and became believers in Christ. Who can you remember?

I'll put down two: Tsion Ben-Judah, Mitchell Stein.

Now it's your turn!

Lake of Fire

     In Revelation 20 it talks about Satan's Doom. (I have already posted about Satan's Doom. Follow this link to read more about it.) What I didn't mention before is what happens to the people who die before the rapture. Revelation 20 also has information on what happens to them. Specifically the ones who were not believers. We are taught that those who die and are not believers in Christ go to Hell. That is true, but they do not get there right away.

    Matthew 11:23 says, "And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted to the heavens? No, you will go down to Hades." Luke 10:15 says the same thing.

     Revelation 20:13 says, "The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done."

     When people who are not believers in Jesus as the Messiah die they go to Hades. Hades is not too different then Hell (I'll explain what Hell is later on). Hades is a place of devastation, destruction, and suffering. Trust me, you do NOT want to go to Hades.

    After Satan is defeated by God when the millennium is over, Satan, the False Prophet, and all of the nonbelievers will be thrown in the lake of fire, which is Hell.

    Revelation 20:14 says, "Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death."

    The biggest difference between Hades and Hell is, Hades is a temporary place of suffering and being separated from God. Hell is an eternal place of suffering and being separated from God.

    Once someone is in Hades, they will one day go to Hell, there is no backing out. But, there is a prevent going to both Hades and Hell. Believe that Jesus is the Messiah, and that he died on the cross to save you from your sins. And ask God to forgive you of your sins, and to come into your heart. If you are not positive you will go to Heaven when you die, or your scared you might go to Hell when you die, e-mail me at leftbehindthekids.me@gmail.com, and I will try to answer any questions you have.

Let them praise the name of the Lord, for his name alone is exalted; his splendor is above the earth and the heavens.

Psalm 148:13

School Year

Do you ever wish you had the courage to share God's love with others, the way the Young Trib Force does? I know I do. So, I have a challenge for you!

With the school year coming up we all will have lots of opportunities to share the word of God. Just like Judd and Vicki were, we need to be brave and courageous. It'll be scary when you first talk to someone about God, but stay strong. Sometimes we don't even need to say anything to share the love of Jesus. We can just have a Christ-like attitude and be servants of God. We may not notice it, but others will. Try to be an encouragement to others, and you never know, they might come to know God because of you.

Here is the challenge: Choose one person you know, and make a commitment to do everything you can to show them the way of God.

This person may go to school with you, be on your sports team, or be a family member. Whoever it is, try your hardest to show them Gods love. I've picked who I will talk to and be an encouragement to. Now it's your turn. Leave a comment of the person's name you've picked and I will pray that you have the right words to say to them. If you have any questions or need advice, leave a comment or go to the 'Contact Me' page and e-mail me.

If you find yourself stuck, or you are at a loss for words, pray that God will show you what to say and do. If you are scared or embarrassed, ask yourself, "What would Judd or Vicki do in this situation?" The most important thing to remember is to allow God to work in his own timing, and to pray for those who don't know the truth. And never forget, be courageous!

Prophecy: Day 3

There are many prophecies that have been, are being, or a waiting to be fulfilled. Today we will share one of those prophecies, and when it happened, or IF it has happened yet.

All who Beleive in Jesus will be Saved - John 3:16

Did you know John 3:16 was a prophecy? It's one of the most well know Bible verses that we memorize at a young age. I was suprised to find that John 3:16 was a prophecy. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only son, that whoever beleives in him shall not perish, but have eternal life." "Whoever beleives," that shows that anyone who beleives in Jesus, will be saved before the rapture. Right now, people may beleive in him, but not understand it. When Jesus comes, everyone who beleives will understand it.

Well, this concludes the three day prophocy segment. Let me know what you thought by posting a comment or sending me an email at leftbehindthekids.me@gmail.com

Here are the other two days, Prophecy: Day 1 and Prochecy: Day 2

Prophecy: Day 2

There are many prophecies that have been, are being, or a waiting to be fulfilled. Today we will share one of those prophecies, and when it happened, or IF it has happened yet.

There will be False Messiahs Before Jesus Returns - Matthew 24: 23-25

There have been people claiming to be the Messiah throughout history. For example, Simon bar Kochba, who unleashed such great harm on his people that the injuries are still visible. Kochba lived during the second century. With the help of the highly revered Rabbi Akiva, who declared that Kochba was the promised Messiah, Kochba organized a rebellion against the Romans who occupied and controlled the land of Isreal. The Romans eventually defeated him. Many people still fear him today, even though he died AD 135.

To see Prophecy: Day 1, follow this link Prochecy: Day 1

Prophecy: Day 1

There are many prophecies that have been, are being, or a waiting to be fulfilled. Today we will share one of those prophecies, and when it happened, or IF it has happened yet.

Before the End Comes, the Gospel will be Preached to the Entire World - Matthew 24:14

This prophecy is currently being fulfilled. Many people around the world have heard the truth, and refuse to believe it, but others have not heard the Gospel at all. Missionaries are traveling around the world to preach the word of God. God is giving everyone a chance to believe before sending his son, Jesus Christ, down to earth to rapture the believers.

 

Prophocies Tomorrow

     Tomorrow I am going to strat posting a few prophocies that must occur before the end time. I will give where in the Bible the prophocy is found, and if it has been fufilled yet.

     Not all prophocies have to be fufilled before the rapture, but before the tribulation. Some prophocies may not be fufilled until right before the Antichrist signs a treaty with Isreal.
