You WANT to be 'Left Behind': Essays on the Bible and Popular End Times Teachings

by J.M. Smith

"When Jesus comes to rapture the Church, you don't want to be left behind, do you??" The idea of believers disappearing from the earth in "the twinkle of an eye" in order to escape the "Great Tribulation" is one that has captivated the imaginations of many Christians over the past 150 years now. Multimillion dollar book, TV, video game and movie franchises have been constructed around this very concept. But is it what the Bible actually teaches? In this "Dojo Discussions" edition, JM Smith looks at various issues surrounding popular End Times teachings which many Christians take for granted to be solid, orthodox, Biblical teaching...with surprising results. Could it be that when it comes to the return of Jesus, you actually WANT to be 'left behind'??
