Great time waster!

I gave this 5 stars because I really think it is a fun read. I don't normally read fiction but this is great. Just settle into your favorite couch, make a cup of coffee, switch your brain off and enjoy. Just don't take it seriously like some do.

It's a roller coaster ride and it gives a bit of a "Hollywood" flavor to Eschatology but it's a work of fiction based on the most interesting and metaphorical book of the Bible.

And any book that gets people talking about Jesus & the Bible (in a good or a bad way) is good.

This is a good book...really

I was really surprised by the reviews on this book, I thought that it was a very good book when I first read it, and I'm about to read it again. I got "left behind" so to speak and now I want to read the series without interruption or having to wait for the next book to come out. I'm looking forward to it being as enjoyable as the first time I read it. It's fiction based on the Bible, so I think some may be judging too harshly. It's worth reading.

rapture = myth

LUKE CHAPTER 17 "And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all." Christ here is using the "days of Noah" as a example of the decadence and un-Godliness of society, at the end of times, "eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage," "until the flood came, and took them away [destroyed them all]"- in the time of Noah who was washed away by the flood? It was the evil doers were taken away [destroyed], Christ tells us "so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." "Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all." Luke give us the farther example of the days of Lot, the again we see decadence and un-Godliness of the people, oblivious to will of God. Here again we see that it is the evil doer that is removed and destroyed. "I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left." "the one shall be taken" as we have learned from both gospel account the ones taken away are the evil doer, those destined for destruction. NOT the good [the "Elect"], these verse do not refer to any form of "RAPTURE" of the "ELECT". Those that are "left" will remain with the lord. We can see from Matt. 24:29 the coming of the Lord takes place after the tribulation. In V.30 we see that. "all the tribes of the earth.. shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory." This is no secret coming, or secret Rapture, this is a GREAT coming, a visible coming, of the powerful and almighty God, and all shall see it. Again we see that these verses do not refer to any form of secret pre-tribulation "rapture"
