Bruce and Rayford's Salvation

   Bruce Barnes and Rayford Steele are original members of the Tribulation Force. They were left behind because they were not believers in Jesus Christ. After their loved ones were Raptured they realized they had been living in the dark and needed God. This scene is from Left Behind: The Movie.

   In Left Behind: The Kids Bruce is the one that teaches the kids about God. Shortly after he became saved he shared the Gospel with Judd, Vicki, Lionel, and Ryan. He brings up the idea of the Young Tribulation Force. Ryan knew Rayford because he was best friends with his son, Raymie. Judd knew Rayford because he was on the plane Rayford piloted when the Rapture occurred.

Eli and Moishe

Here is another scene from Left Behind II: Tribulation Force. In this scene Buck Williams is taking Tsion Ben-Judah to visit the Wailing Wall where Eli and Moishe are speaking. As the two prophets speak at the Wailing Wall Buck understands the words in English, while Tsion Ben-Judah understands the words the prophets are speaking in Hebrew. Enjoy this short clip from the second Left Behind movie!

 

 

 

In Revelation 11 the Bible talks about two prophets that speak on earth during the Rapture. Many believe it will be the heavenly beings of Elijah and Moses. The writers Tim Lahaye and Jerry B. Jenkins named them Eli and Moishe. If anyone tries to hurt the two prophets they will be killed. They have the power to shoot fire from their mouths and devour anyone who tries to hurt them with the flames. The Bible says the two prophets will be on earth for 1,260 days, or about 3.5 years. In the book series they die just before Nicolae Carpathia is killed. After 3.5 days God will resurrect the bodies of the prophets and they will ascend to Heaven. After that an earthquake will come and 1/10 of Jerusalem will be destroyed.



Rapture

Here's another video from the original Left Behind movie. During this scene Rayford Steele, Buck Williams, and Hattie Durham are on an  airplane heading to the country of England. In Left Behind: The Kids Judd is in this scene. After steeling a credit card from his father Judd bought a plane ticket and made a run for it, away from his life. His plan did not work though, because Jesus came and raptured His followers.



Buck's Salvation

In honor of the exciting remake of Left Behind: The Movie coming up, here is a small part from the original movie. Cameron "Buck" Williams (played by Kirk Cameron) was not a Christian at the time of the Rapture. He was left behind. Shortly after meeting Bruce Barnes, Rayford Steele, and Chloe Steele, Buck accepted Jesus into his heart. Here is the scene of Buck's salvation from Left Behind: The Movie.

Enjoy!

 



Hattie Durham

A friend of mine runs the blog Left Behind. She knows those books inside and out and has made a blog on it! Her knowledge of the characters is tremendous. Here is an excerpt from her blog.

Hattie Durham

 

"Hattie Durham is Rayford Steele's flight assistant. Many times he wanted to have an affair with her, and she did not appose. She was on a flight with him the night of the Rapture. She met Buck Williams that night, and quickly befriended him. She went home and found her family safe. She asked Buck to introduce her to Nicolae Carpathia, the rising leader. Buck did and the two hit it off, and had an affair. He made her his personal assistant, and they soon found out that Hattie was pregnant."
