Buck Williams Article

As the book mentions, Buck Williams was a journalist for Global Weekly before the Rapture. Later on, he wrote "The Truth," which were a newspaper-like articles about the Tribulation. A fellow blogger wrote an excerpt of Buck's article when he worked for Global Weekly. Here it is:

"Many are looking for the cause behind the world wide disappearances. One personal said “This is nothing more than Karma; the bad people have gotten their due. We, the good in heart, shall stay and remain and live in harmony.” Not all believe that though. One source believes that aliens are to blame. “Aliens, not those little green people, no sophisticated ones, with weapons, and nuclear. They sought out those with a common factor. Maybe it was blood type, or it was IQ. Why the babies were taken, well I guess we can never know. Maybe they were taken for servants of the aliens. “

Another recourse believes that Christ Jesus has come back for his own. “It was the Rapture” he says “Christ came back for the Christians. The small children were taken because they are too young to understand. What comes next is a hard time. An evil leader will rise, and there will be seven years of pain and death. We must all believe in Christ, it is our only hope.” That man’s wife also believed that, and she disappeared.

All know that Nicolae Carpathia, and his crew believe that is was nuclear radiation. And that merely the bad are gone now, and we shall have a peaceful time now that they are gone. They have told us that we have nothing to worry about.

Many people believe that it was merely a wiping away of the bad people, but weather there will be more to disappear, we do not know. What comes next is also unknown, but for now we must all band together and be strong."

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!

 

 

Which Parts are Your Favorite?

Which sections in the book series do you like best? My favorites:

1. The beginning of the series after the rapture happens.
2. The Wrath of the Lamb Earthquake.
3. Vicki's travels with Shelly and Conrad to teach fellow believers around the U.S.
4. The last three books when everything comes together. And of course, Jesus' glorious appearing!

Your turn! Comment below and share your favorite part of Left Behind: The Kids.

Titus 2:13-14, "While we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good."

Trivia Question!

Alright everyone, I know it's been awhile. It's time for another trivia question! Comment with your answer below.

What is Ryan Daley's middle name?




Petra

Petra plays a big role in Left Behind: The Kids. Many characters go there, because it is the safe haven. Carpathia cannot hurt them there, because God protects them. Here is some history behind the famous city.

In Petra there are hundreds of buildings, caves, and tombs. The city is very unusual because of the buildings that are cut into the mountains close to the Arabian Desert. In the sixth century B.C. Petra was a fortress and the capital of Nabataean. The Romans conquered the city of Petra in 106 A.D. Some of the people of Nabataean were experts at water technology. The Nabataeans composed tunnels and water chambers. A lot of people believe that in the Bible it talks about Petra when it says the people of God will “flee to the mountains” when it comes to the end of time. Today lots of people go to visit Petra, Jordan’s most famous tourist attraction.

Bruce Barnes

Bruce Barnes is in both Left Behind and Left Behind: The Kids. Although he has a large role in Left Behind: The Kids, he is not one of the four main characters. In Left Behind Bruce is one of the original members of the Tribulation Force, and has a larger role in the series. With Bruce being a bigger character in the adult series, those who read that series will know more about him. Just like my friend and fellow blogger! She runs the blog, Left Behind and is an avid Left Behind reader. Here is a short summery about Bruce Barnes, one of my personal favorite characters.

 

 

"Bruce Barnes, assistant pastor at New Hope Village Church, in Mount Prospect, looked at it all as a story. It was more like head-knowledge to him. He never acted on the truth he told others. His wife, and three children, ages of 5, 3, and 1, didn't know the wiser. One night he was up to late reading, his wife asking him to turn off the light, when everything and everyone he knew disappeared.... all of his family and most of the church was gone. He immediately repented, and became a real Christian."

Fan Fiction

 

There is a Left Behind fan fiction website where fans of both the adult and kids series can put their own twist on a Left Behind story. A friend of mine and the writer of the blogs The Tribulation and Left Behind has written her own fan fiction story based off of Book 38, Perils of Love. Follow this link to read it. WARNING! There are spoilers if you have not read Perils of Love yet.

 

FAQ Page Sneak Peek

Here's a little sneak peek of the FAQ page.

Question: Is there a movie on the kids series?
Answer: No. But there is are three movies based on the first two books from the adult series. Cloud Ten Pictures is currently remaking the original movies with a bigger budget.

Question: Was the kids or adult series written first?
Answer: The adult series was written first. After getting such a good responce Tim Lahaye and Jerry Jenkins decided to write the Left Behind The Kids series. And I'm glad they did!

Revelation Verses

Here are some of my favorite verses from Revelation:


Revelation 1:5, and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood.

Revelation 3:20, Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.

Revelation 20:11, Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them.


And my absolute favorite...

Revelation 22:20-21, He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people. Amen.


Revelation is one of my favorite books in the Bible. I love reading it and learning about what will happen during the Tribulation. What is your favorite verse from the book of Revelation?

Happy 4th!

Happy 4th of July to my American viewers!
 

Here's an interesting question I thought of , '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?

Wishing everyone a safe, fun-filled Independence day with family, friends, and lots of yummy barbecue!

 

Fun Fact!

Here is a fun fact about both Left Behind and Left Behind: The Kids!

Testimonies

 



Candace Cameron Bure (sister of Kirk Cameron, who played Buck in the original Left Behind movie) was influenced by the book series. Here is part of her testimony:

 

'It wasn't until I read the book Left Behind that I started rethinking my Christian life. There was one character that stood out to me. Pastor Bruce Barnes. He was left behind after the Rapture had occurred. I could not understand how a pastor could be left behind and figured the authors had probably never read a Bible! But, the book went on to explain, and it was my own ignorance that had me to believe that I could ask God into my heart, live my life the way I wanted to (even if it was not pleasing to the Lord), and still be in Heaven when I died. Boy, did I have it all wrong.'
