Do NOT Fall For The LEFT BEHIND Books!

I know a lot of people enjoy the Left Behind series. I'm guessing because they give them hope that they can go to Heaven no matter how they live their lives, sin as much as they want to, and just endure a little tribulation and get to spend eternity in Heaven. But those books are not Scriptural. They were intended for the men who wrote them to make millions, which they did. And now they have a kids series of Left Behind books telling children its ok not to be saved, they can be saved after the rapture, or second coming, or whatever you call it when Jesus returns. I have recently learned not everyone calls it the "Rapture" and may not know what I'm talking about. And they are also from Satan. He very much enjoys having millions of people believe they do not have to be saved, that they still have a chance after Jesus returns. But, after Jesus returns it will be too late. Yes, you will be left behind, but with no chance of spending eternity in Heaven.
There is so much proof in the Bible, the book God Himself gave us, to dispute this left behind theory. But people do not want to hear the truth. They want to go on living their lives as they please.
Like I've said before, I'm no Bible scholar, but it does not take years of college to understand God's word.           1 Thessalonians 4:16, For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Saying that unbelievers will get a second chance after the rapture is like saying the people who have died over history, SEVERAL years, will get a second chance & the Bible plainly tells us where the unbelievers who have died are. The "dead in Christ shall rise". Not, ok, all the dead people who died nonbelievers come out of the grave and see who wants go thru tribulation to go to Heaven.
Luke chapter 16 tells us where the unsaved who die are. Verse 23 says, And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
(Hell and the lake of fire are 2 different things. I need to write a Blog on that!)
And in Luke chapter 17 Jesus told His disciples what will happen to the ones left behind. Verse 23 tells us,
 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And He said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.
The Hebrew meaning of Eagle is "to tear with the beak". You can look that up if you want to do your own homework :) 
1 Thessalonians chapter 5 tells us in verse 3,
 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 
Revelation chapter 16 verse 21 tells us,
And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.
YES, there will be people left behind. But that is all, just people. The earth as we know it right now will no longer exist. 
So many people believe that life will go on after the Rapture. But they need to read the Bible carefully. The earth will be destroyed. The elements will melt away, things made by man, "the earth and the works which are in it" will be burned. The seas will boil from the heat. Mountains will fall. Stones weighing 85-90 pounds will rain from Heaven. The ground will split apart. There will be no sun, no moon, complete darkness. And I am guessing with a stone-storm there will not be any power. People will not be watching everything unfold on CNN or Fox News. NOWHERE in the Bible will you find ANYTHING about a 7 year Tribulation Period! Please look that up for yourself, do not take my word for it. We, as Christians, endure tribulation just because we're Christians. And if you're not enduring some kind of tribulation, you aint doing something right! And, Revelation plainly says that no man will repent after the Rapture. Revelation 9:20, 21 and 16:9,11
Update: More scripture references to study if you'd like.
Isaiah 64:1-2
1 Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence,
2 As when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence!
2 Peter 3:10 (actually, 3:7-17)
But the day of the Lord shall come as a thief, in which the heavens shall pass away with great violence, and the elements shall be melted with heat, and the earth and the works which are in it, shall be burnt up. 
I know I say short and to the point. Sorry this one is so long. Hope to see you back here soon.God Bless :)
