Previously in the first book called Church to Rapture. “Martha!

Martha!”, Joe screamed. “Where are you sweetheart? Martha!

Martha!” Joe looks over at the T.V, Breaking News: “people all over the world have vanished. As you can see clothes are everywhere.

Some say that this was predicted 3|Page

in a book called the Bible.” Joe thinks to himself. “Haven’t I heard this before? Wait! Martha was saying something about this… I was playing video games and not really paying attention. All I remember is end times blah blah Jesus Christ blah blah and meeting him in the air blah blah.

Man, I should have played more attention.�

Joe sat down, where he last saw Martha in the gorgeous rocking chair. As he sat down, he accidently sat on something. It was the book that Martha nagged him about reading. He picked it up flipped the page and started

reading it. He started in the book of Genesis, reading about the creation, to Noah and the flood, and then about Abraham and all the covenants God promised. He was so astonished and had many questions. He thought to himself; “I wonder who I could ask about this book?�

As he was thinking, he heard the news channel on the T.V go off again; “Breaking News: King Ryan in Rome has made a peace treaty with the nation of Israel.”

Joe hears this and thinks; “this dude is awesome, I wish I could be changing the world like he is!”. As the news continued to

other things, he got bored of it and went back to reading the Bible. Over the next few days, he had finished all of the old testament and started to read the new testament. As he was reading, he read about this guy named Jesus Christ, who did all kinds of healings and miracles. He

thought to himself, “this reminds me of King Ryan in Rome, I wonder what made Jesus and King Ryan so different than all the leaders of the past?” So, Joe reads on to the crucifixion of Christ. Then all of a sudden Joe starts crying, he cries out to God; “God I believe in you, I am a

wicked and evil person, and I believe your son, Jesus, died for my sins.� Joe is now saved and wants to live out the Christian life.

As the next day comes, he walks into his living room and hears the T.V. saying; “Breaking News: many civil wars have broken out, blood has been shed and

12 | P a g e

everyone should seek shelter immediately!� After Joe hears this, he goes out to get his mail and looks down and notices he stepped into a puddle of blood. His mailman was dead right there on his own brick porch step. He turns around quickly and runs back inside, up the stairs quickly

grabbing his Bible on the way. To calm down his nerves he starts reading again, he opens to Revelation. As he gets further into his reading he begins to understand more and more. He learns the reason why his wife is disappeared, it is because of “the rapture�. He keeps reading and

14 | P a g e

learns there are seven seals that will be poured out onto the world as a judgement, he realizes two of the seals have already begun. “Oh wow” he thought to himself. “I wonder if there is anything else going to happen?” He keeps reading the book of Revelation. He finds out that there are

15 | P a g e

16 | P a g e

seventeen other judgments that God is going to put on the world.

Joe says out loud to himself; “Man I hope times flies by!”

Three and a half years later.

The T.V turns on, “Breaking News: King Ryan of Rome has been shot with a fatal wound right in the heart” and he is not dead! Who is

17 | P a g e

this man? Nothing can stop King Ryan!” While Joe was watching this, He remembered that the real Christ had already come. Joe thinks; “Something is off about King Ryan, I think I will spend my time learning more about Jesus than politics right now.” As the day is coming to a close, Breaking

19 | P a g e

News comes on again. “King Ryan has broken the treaty with Israel and plotting to take over Israel!”. “I need to get some fresh air!” Joe says. He grabs his Bible and notepad and heads out to his car.

As he is driving, he sees hail and fire coming from the sky burning everything it touches. Joe swerves

20 | P a g e

out of the way of a giant piece of hail and stops under the highway overpass to seek protection. The hail and fire stop after fifth teen minutes and everything in sight is destroyed! Joe quickly gets out of his car and heads towards the river that runs beside the highway.

As soon as he gets to the bank, he

21 | P a g e

drops to his knees and starts drinking the water to try to cool down. As he drinks the water, he realizes something doesn’t taste right, he looks down at his hands and sees the water is actually blood! Joe spits it out and jumps back; “gross ugh!”. He falls backwards, closes his eyes

22 | P a g e

23 | P a g e

rests on his back just trying to process everything that is happening. As he is processing, he opens his eyes and notices the sky starting to dim. He sprints back to his car to hurry home before it gets any darker. As he is driving home, he sees an eagle fly right in front of his car! He slams on his brakes, he tries to swerve 24 | P a g e

out of the way, he yells “woe, woe woe, that's a close one”. As Joe approaches his street, swarms of locust surround his vehicle. He pulls into his driveway, slams the door and races inside. He finds the T.V on when he gets in, its blaring yet again “Breaking News; almost one third of the World’s

25 | P a g e

population has been declared dead and numbers are rising, this appears to be caused by what we can only be described as an army of demons! Also, King Ryan has gathered the nations to make a major attack On Israel.” After Joe hears this, there is a knock on the door. “Open up!” the voice behind

26 | P a g e

the door says, Joe carefully opens the door. Bullets fly quicker than Joe can blink, they pierced his heart, his body collapses, and he is dead by the time he hits the ground. As his soul leaves his body and ascends to the heavens, he is blinded by a light. It is Jesus, his Lord and Savior. Jesus tells

Joe to follow him, he wants to show him something. Joe looks at the earth, he sees war everywhere, nations have formed against Israel. Israel is at the point of defeat, there is so much bloodshed, so much pain, so much loss. Joe turns to the Lord and says’, “Lord are you going to

29 | P a g e

do something�, the Lord looks at him patiently and smiles.
