Chilling Sounds
After the Rapture
A
chilling mood has suddenly
gripped the entire world. Even
the multitudes, which know
nothing of the Holy Bible or
Jesus Christ, are tantalized
with the feeling that they have
missed a Divine event. Reporters
are searching to understand what
has happened. Phones are ringing
off their hooks with hectic
callers looking for disappeared
friends or loved ones. College
students, still gripped with
their hangover from parties the
night before, are jostled with
the startling
news. Grandfathers,
grandmothers, parents, and some
friends that were very different
are missing and they have left
no trace of their whereabouts.
Within a short time, the reports
are coming fast and
furious. Cars are simply sitting
at stoplights or beside the road
-- still running -- but
containing no trace of their
drivers. Some have occupants
that are stunned into a stupor
because their drivers or
passengers have disappeared into
seemingly thin air. Many cars
are involved in massive wrecks
but drivers are not found in
those vehicles that caused the
wrecks. Several planes have
crashed. Their pilots did not
answer the airport towers as
they veered off course and
finally went down in fiery
crashes. Hospitals are
shorthanded because of missing
nurses and doctors, while the
emergency rooms are stampeded
with the injured and the
terrified.
There is a sudden sense in the
very atmosphere that any
resistance to wickedness and
evil is gone. Evil spirits,
still invisible but giddy with
freedom, are manifesting their
dark moods on human
faces. Persons that are already
possessed with spirits have
become brave in their hatred for
everyone. Mobs of hoodlums have
begun to break into homes and
businesses. They are destroying
everything in their paths. The
police have lost all control
because they are outnumbered and
utterly helpless. They have
realized that they are dealing
with sub-humans that would
rather kill than live.
People that know the truth of
what has happened are quickly
aware that the worse is yet to
come. The political leaders and
law enforcement agencies begin
to establish a total police
state. Curfews are put in place
to clear all streets as police
resort to shooting without
warning. Total state control is
the only possible means of
restoring order. Grocery stores
are already empty from vandals
and shoplifters grabbing
everything in sight and loading
their cars. Clerks that resist
are simply trampled by the
melee. It will take days to
restore order.
A
newscaster finally decides to
try and report the events. He
begins, “This is a News
Alert. Reports are coming to us
by the hundreds. Thousands,
maybe millions, of people are
missing. It’s like they have
vanished. Their clothes and
shoes, actually everything on
their person, were left
behind. There are husbands and
wives searching for their
families. Young people are
searching for mothers and
fathers. Some teenagers and
children are missing. Their
parents are utterly insane with
fear.
Some parents with missing teens
and older juniors are reporting
that they were very serious and
beautifully religious. In every
case it was the best of the lot
that are gone. One family
called to say that they rushed
to find their mother and father,
but they were gone. Nothing was
changed in the home. Their
clothes were in the chairs where
they were eating a meal. Their
Bible was open to Matthew
24. The verse they saw
underlined said,
“Two shall
be in the field, one shall be
taken and the other left.”
Here’s another report, “All of
these people were deeply
religious, they were not just
religious they were kind,
loving, Godly, and deeply
faithful to their churches. They
dressed in old-fashion and
modest apparel. Every one of
them had often told their
families and friends about an
event which they called the
Rapture, where Jesus Christ
would come in the mid-air and
they would be caught up to meet
him. Could this be true or is
this a religious hoax? A Dr.
Young just came in from the
first church
downtown. “Dr. Young, what has
happened?” “Mr. Smith, this is
all a bizarre story but there is
an answer. I’ve been studying
the new Eastern religions and
making people disappear is an
old trick the great pagan
priests have done often. They
call it astral traveling.
“Some of these people will show
back up and others will be
locked in paranormal
suspension. Tell everybody to
just settle down. There is no
fear to those that are not
overly religious. Be calm, you
will be okay. Just thank God you
were not one of these crazies.”
Listen, friends, here is another
report on the world
channel. This report is from the
Church of Rome. The Pope has
sent a message to every priest
to go to the news station and
warn everyone against religious
hysteria. This great pope, our
father of the faith, is the
vicar of Jesus Christ. He has
the best advice. The pope said
that the teaching of Rapture was
wrong and that these poor
mentally deficient people were
too literal in interpreting the
Bible. They may be hiding. If
they are missing, it will be
great for our new day of
evangelism. Remember, Mary, the
mother of God, could magically
appear and disappear. She has
been appearing all over the
world. If these people are gone,
she is responsible. They would
not listen to her messages, so
she has eliminated them. Now, we
can really take the world for
the great lord that is about to
reveal himself.
But here is another
minister. Rev. David Jones, you
look white as a ghost. What’s
wrong? “My dear friends, I knew
better. All my denomination quit
preaching the Rapture, so I
did. In fact, I studied and came
up with an attack on the
Rapture. My heart knew
better. This was the real
thing. Jesus has come and I’ve
missed the greatest event in
church prophecy. I’m telling
everybody that will listen, if
you will repent, you will have
to be a martyr. I’m lost! I’m
lost! It is because I denied the
truth that I heard from a young
child in my family’s home.”
Suddenly, the reporter stops and
reads a note that is passed to
him. He turns ashen as he reads,
“My teenage son just called to
say that his mother, my wife, is
missing!”
He has not come, but He is
coming! Listen to the angels
that appeared when He ascended
in the air,
“Ye
men of Galilee, why stand ye
gazing up into heaven? this same
Jesus, which is taken up from
you into heaven, shall so come
in like manner as ye have seen
him go into heaven”
(Acts1:11).
