My Problem with ‘Left Behind’

A few years back there was a popular book series called, “Left Behind,” and now there is a new film starring Nicolas Cage. I however could never get into the series.

In the books as well as in the television series that followed, cars crashed and airplanes fell from the skies as people disappeared. These disappearances came as a result of the end of the world and the coming of the Christ.

While it may make for good TV or a good read, I cannot believe this is how Jesus would treat those that God the Father made in his image. The Lord I worship, pray too, believe in and have a relationship with is not a God of chaos.

Therefore, I’m certain that when it comes time for the ‘rapture,’ a word not even in the Bible, it will be a gentle event. And while those of us ‘left behind,’ will notice, it will not lead what the books depict.
