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!

Tribulation Saints

This is written by a good friend of mine, who also studies the book of Revelation. Her blog is The Tribulation


"Tribulation Saints are those who are believers during the Tribulation. The Bible does not talk much about Christians during this time, but from what it does say, there are mixed emotions. Many will come to believe in Christ during a great soul harvest. Also, many Christians will be put to death for their beliefs. Whether they are killed early on in the Tribulation for disrespecting the world's order and preaching or later on for not accepting the Mark of the Beast, their death is still blessed. The Bible says that these people will be rewarded."

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?

Left Behind Blog Post

Here is another post from the Left Behind blog a friend of mine runs. She gives a statement from the author of both Left Behind and Left Behind: The Kids about where the idea came from and a short summery of the what the books are about.


'Jerry Jenkins and Tim Lahaye, the well known authors for the Left Behind series have also written an end times fiction for teens. Left Behind the Kids revolves around a new group of believers, The Young Tribulation Force. At the core of this group are its four original members: Judd, Vicki, Lionel, and Ryan. The adults make occasional appearances in riveting series, containing forty books.

When asked about the kids series, Jenkins once said, "The idea for a kids' series based on Left Behind really came from the publisher, and at first blush it seemed to make sense. I'd written a lot of kids' fiction in the past. The idea was to not just dumb down the product so it would be easier to read, but to actually start with new main characters and have them be in the age group of the readers. So we start with 4 kids from 12 to 16. And over the period of 7 years of the Tribulation, they age by that much, of course, so it's an interesting dynamic to watch these kids grow up. They become believers early in the story, and then they have their own adventures and exciting times fighting the Antichrist while trying to keep from being exposed as believers." '

Favorite Posts from the Past

Since July of 2012, I have created 180 posts! Now, I would like to share my favorite 10 with you!
 

10. Cartoons! I love looking at the cartoons created for the adult version of Left Behind. The characters on them are often well known, and are shown from a popular scene in the book.
9. The Underground! In July I created my own "Underground" from present day. Obviously we wouldn't be worried about the Tribulation at this time, but what about other issues? Read "The Underground" to find out!
8. Popular Spots in Left Behind: The Kids! What are some spots the characters often visit or more than one has been to? See a few of them in this post.
7. Petra! One of the most beloved places in the book series, Petra is the place to be for Christians in danger during the Tribulation. Read a little bit about Petra's history and view pictures of the beautiful landmark in this post!
6. What are the Characters Thankful For? I love this post because it encompasses what Thanksgiving, an holiday the Young Trib Force probably celebrate, is all about.
5. Left Behind: The Remake and 3 Day Prophecy! That's right, this one was a tie! Let's cover Left Behind: The Remake first. I have made many posts about this exciting event, the remake of the Left Behind movies! But my favorite is the original one. I made this post back in July, and it is still my favorite Remake post. Here it is:
The 3 Day Prophecy was my personal studies on three popular prophetic events. There are many prophecies throughout the Bible, but I chose these three to study.

4. New Year! I love this post because it goes back to the first year of the Tribulation in Left Behind: The Kids. The most important events are shown in this post.
3. 20 Day Character Chart! This one took a long time. I chose twenty characters and wrote a summery of each one. Then I had a trivia question about that character at the end. And don't worry, there are no spoilers!
2.  Judd, Vicki, Lionel, and Ryan Pre-rapture! Of course we don't know exactly what their lives were like before the rapture, but I think I have some good guesses! Find out what the lives of the original Young Trib Force members lives might have been like before they were left behind.
1. My favorite post I've ever made is.......Chris Fabry Interview! Chris Fabry is one of the three authors of Left Behind: The Kids. In my interview with him I ask a few questions that many Left Behind: The Kids fans would love to know. Here is the interview:
