Left Behind: Earth’s Last Days Melaina Ortiz-Hill Sheryl Ruszkiewicz Composition I – 1/15/2012 Baker College of Allen Park [Left Behind: Earth’s Last Days] In one catastrophic moment, millions of people around the world disappear. Suddenly vehicles start to careen out of control, unusual events start to happen and people become terror stricken as their loved ones seem to vanish right before their eyes. In the midst of all the chaos and devastation a pilot named Rayford Steele searches for his family and the truth. As devastating as the disappearances have become the darkest days are still to come as the apocalypse has just begun for those that have been left behind. The Left Behind book is the first of many in the series that are based on the Holy Bible book of Revelations. It centers on those who are non believers that have been left behind after the Rapture has taken place. After millions of people suddenly start to disappear, those that are left start to wonder what has happened and start to search for loved ones. Those that are Left Behind are Rayford Steel who is a pilot and his daughter Chloe, Bruce Barnes who is a Pastor, Cameron “Buck” Williams a journalist and Nicolae Carpathia a Romanian Politician. The Left Behind series speaks prophecy to many Christians, believing the end of days are nearing and the Lord Jesus Christ shall return to claim his children and take them up in the Rapture. For many Christians what happens after the Raptures takes place, the Left Behind series is telling how many are imaging it to be. There will chaos, terror and a lot hurt going on and many in my opinion will start to believe but by that time they do it will be too late. After the Rapture takes place there is supposed to three and a half years of pure torture and fear and three and a half years of the world getting its peace back. There is only one that really knows when the Rapture shall take place and for those that don’t believe many Christians pray for their souls to be saved in the end days. What is the Rapture' Well to many who are in the church it is the second coming of Christ. From the Bibles point of view, the Rapture will be when the Son of God returns and claims his children that will go to heaven without having to die and to keep them from any harm that they might suffer here on earth. Many think that all individuals that say they are saved and believe in Jesus, like Pastors, Preacher, Nuns etc. will go to heaven but as the book points out even Pastors may be Left Behind. Bruce Barnes who is a Pastor, was left because even though he is a Pastor along his walk with God he started to lose his faith. What shall become of the world after the Rapture takes place will GOD take his hands off of it, will he stop answering prayers, or will there be a fend for yourself mentality that everyone starts to take on. Will the crime rate go up, will killing increase or will people be more afraid to do anything not sure what the outcome maybe. I ask myself have I done enough in my life that I think that GOD will allow me to enter into his Glorious gates.
