Left Behind
DIR By: Olde Tymer

.
I recently viewed a 2014 movie on NetFlix starring Nicolas Cage
titled "Left Behind". There was a glaring omission: nobody came
back from the dead for the rapture; only living people were
taken out.
Something else overlooked by the movie's producers is the
category of folk who are supposed to be taken. According to
1Thess 4:13-17, they are "in him" and "in Christ"; viz: the
rapture is exclusive; Christ is coming back for his church and
no others.
Well; in order to get in Jesus' church, one must first believe
the gospel. Then they have to be sealed in him by the Holy
Spirit (Eph 1:13). Therefore; non believing, non sealed children
won't be taken in the real rapture. The movie's rapture took all
the children.

[shadow=blue,left]I agree except where the children are
concerned. Jesus tells us those who believe in him will see him
through a child's eyes. Also there is a knowing age where the
child becomes responsible for his/her actions. (i.e. 12-13-
Jewish ceremonies,'bar mitzvah')
There were other discrepancies that I don' agree with but it was
a good start. As far as the dead rising, do you envision the
graves exploding into the air and the dead rising slowly enough
for people to see them those bodies as they ascend to heaven?
Rem a twinkle of the eye is around 10 to the minus 43 power
Have a great day sir.

It's sometimes objected that a truly loving, sensitive,
kind-hearted god would never leave children behind to go thru
the calamitous events depicted in the book of Revelation.
How many children were spared the Flood?
How many children were spared Sodom and Gomorrah?
How many children would've been collateral damage had not the
adults in Nineveh heeded Jonah's preaching?
Being left out of the rapture may be a death sentence for some
but it isn't a sentence to hell; I mean, after all, according to
Rev 7:9-17, a very large number of people will be saved during
the calamities; which includes a world-wide earthquake so severe
on the Richter scale that every city on Earth will collapse at
once; no doubt resulting in an unimaginable body count.
Something like 2,829 lost their lives when the World Trade
Center was demolished by a terrorist attack in 2001. Well that
was only a small portion of New York City. Just imagine the
carnage when all of Manhattan comes down at once. along with
other major cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Mexico City,
Paris, Moscow, Beijing, and Tokyo, et al.
FYI: The rapture and the second coming of Christ are two
separate events. The one precedes the other by seven years. Only
his church will see Christ at the rapture. The whole world will
see him at the second coming.

[shadow=blue,left]I have my doubts about it being just seven
years for the anti-christ will have to come to power before he
can sign a covenant with many.
This suggest a gap period of very possibly up to 33 years prior
to Daniel's 70th week.
Hey, Olde TImer, how are you doing, OK I hope?

My contributions to this thread may be taken as a public service
announcement.
I close my remarks with lines from the movie spoken a few hours
after the rapture that go something like this:
Journalist: It looks like the end of the world.
Chloe Steele: No, not yet. I'm afraid this is just the
beginning.
