Left Behind takes what to some people may be unbelievable predictions from the Bible and shows how they might play out. It makes the events of biblical prophecy understandable and thus believable.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If you look at the Bible almost everything that was predicted, maybe everything, has come to pass.
In the prequel we're going to tell about the characters before Left Behind, and the book would end with the rapture instead of start with the rapture like the first one did.
Prophecy is an intercept from the mind of an all-knowing and all-seeing and all-powerful God.
The truth is, as you know, people like us look at what's happening in the world, and then we project it forward. We think, 'If I know A and B, then I've got to know that C and D are coming,' and that's kind of the way it's been with my fiction.
Well, with prophecy you got to see what happens.
Persistent prophecy is a familiar way of assuring the event.
I think predictability is built into any good novel in some way - you begin reading Anna Karenina and you know pretty much what's going to happen at the end. But that doesn't mean you know what's going to happen in the middle. For me, it's that sense of what happens in the middle that's important.
I can look at the future with anticipation. And it's comforting to know that someday, as Christians, we'll be able to look back and have a little more clarity on why certain things in life happened.
You have to take Bible prophecy literally, just like everything else in the Bible.
Prophecy is what we all have to go by now.
