movie "left behind"

LEFT BEHIND is a tragically story for the none believers but a wonderful story for us Christians. Several months earlier, a miraculous, yet seemingly mysterious defeat of the Russian, Iraqi, and Syrian forces occurs after a massive assault on Israel fails. Though many believed it to be a malfunction, others believe it was God protecting his ancient people's homeland - and that biblical prophecies are beginning to reach their fulfillment. At present the most devastating period mankind has ever experienced comes to pass: In an instance, millions upon millions world-wide have vanished, the dead and alive, the born and unborn, many seen right before their own eyes. Frantically, many begin their search for their friends and family. Among those left behind, is pilot Rayford Steele, with his daughter Chloe Steele, and pastor Bruce Barnes, who come to terms with what just occurred, the Rapture. Also Cameron "Buck" Williams, a young journalist, follows a unknown, but charming Romanian politician named Nicolae Carpathia, who quickly attracts millions, seemingly over night. As world events and biblical prophecies start to collide, one thing is certain, the Tribulation is about to begin. Christian prophetic themes are explored in a fictional context around the theme of the "Rapture", an interpretation of the First Epistle to the Thessalonians. Among those Christians who believe there will be a Rapture, there are three main theories on the timing of this event: Pre-Tribulation, Mid-Tribulation, and Post-Tribulation. This book takes the Pre-Tribulation Rapture position. The story is built around such End times themes as the Second Coming, the Antichrist, the Tribulation, and the expected coming Millennium of Messiah.

autobiography

“AUTOBIOGRAPHY”


I was born on a cool, breezy day in December in Seoul, Korea. Now I live in an island called Saipan in the Northern Marianas Islands. I go to school in Marianas Baptist Academy (MBA). I live with my mom, Myung Ja; my dad, Sung Sik; and with my one and only sister, Rina. I won a first place gold medal for MSFL and got perfect attendance in every quarter. I didn’t win that much awards in sixth grade and seventh grade but I’m sure this time I’ll win one for sure. I am in the 8th grade class in MBA and I’m planning to go there until my senior years. I might go to Korea or America for college but I don’t know yet.

Life means to me as a challenge of academics, courage, family, sports, and victories because these will help me to succeed in life and rise up. But there are good sides and bad sides in life too. The good sides are victory and success and the bad sides are failure, defeat, and hatred. Even though I’m a teen, I don’t have days off because of other things. Since I am a Korean, I have to learn two or more different languages like English, Korean, Chinese, and more. So life is really hard for me. I have lots of good friends who help me in hard times. I don’t have a girlfriend but the places I go with my other friends are movies, church, restaurants, and stores. These are places I usually go to see them.

2020 will make my 13 years since I graduated from high school. I think I’ll probably go back to Korea and live there rather than in America. I’ll be quite happier in living in Korea and married to a Korean woman. We might have two babies, one son and the other a daughter. The son will be named James and the daughter Mary. James Hong will the age of 5 years old and Mary the age of two. They’ll have black eyes and brown hair. We’ll be happy like this forever.

As I said in the beginning, I was born in Korea and will live there forever because it is my country. I would like to travel with my family to different countries but the problem is money. So I’ll have to work hard and earn a lot of money for traveling. I have enjoyed writing this autobiography.

Francis Xavier: Xavier was born Francisco de Jasso y Azpilcueta in the Castle of Xavier (modern Spanish Javier) near Sangüesa and Pamplona, in Navarre, Spain. He was born to an aristocratic family of Navarre. In 1512, many fortresses were devastated, including the family castle, and land was confiscated. Francis' father died in 1515. At the age of 19, Francis Xavier went to study at the University of Paris, where he received a licence ès arts in 1530. He furthered his studies there in theology, and became acquainted with Ignatius Loyola. Xavier, Ignatius, and five others founded the Society of Jesus on August 15, 1534, taking a vow of poverty and chastity where is now Montmartre in Paris.
Chet Bitterman: was an American linguist and missionary who was kidnapped and killed by revolutionaries of the 19th of April Movement (M-19) in Colombia in 1981. Originally from Pennsylvania, Bitterman attended Columbia Bible College in South Carolina, where he first heard of the Christian mission organization Wycliffe Bible Translators. After graduation, he received linguistics training from the Summer Institute of Linguistics (SIL) in North Dakota, and married Brenda Gardner, a fellow alumna of SIL's training program. Together, they traveled to Colombia to begin mission work with Wycliffe in 1979. As an inexperienced missionary, Bitterman was not immediately assigned to a tribal group where he could begin to translate the Bible into a new language as many Wycliffe missionaries do. Instead, he worked primarily at Wycliffe's base in Lomalinda, first working in the radio tower and later serving as security coordinator. Their time at Lomalinda was broken up by a six-month service trip in Bogotá where Bitterman and his wife assisted a more experienced translator couple. However, by 1981, plans began to fall into place for Bitterman and his wife to attempt to reach the Carijona tribe in the Colombian jungle. But at 6:30 a.m. on January 19, 1981, seven M-19 guerrillas entered the Bitterman's home. Not finding the director of SIL, they kidnapped Bitterman instead. Several days later, the guerillas demanded that Wycliffe leave the country. Finally, 48 days after his abduction, on March 7, 1981, Bitterman's body was found in a bus near Bogotá, having been shot in the chest.
William Carey: (August 17, 1761 – June 9, 1834) was an English Protestant missionary and Baptist minister, known as the "father of modern missions." Carey was one of the founders of the Baptist Missionary Society. As a missionary in Serampore, India, he translated the Bible into Bengali, Sanskrit, and numerous other languages and dialects.
John Eliot: (baptized 5 August 1604 - 21 May 1690) is one of the many colonial immigrants who would find a religious purpose for their life in the New World. Eliot was born in a small village near London,England. Widford, Hertfordshire, England. Records show that his father was a middleclass farmer by the name of Bennett Eliot. Eliot attended Jesus College in Cambridge. From the beginning, he showed an ability to work well with philology. Some believe that he may have gone into ministry of the Established Church soon after graduation. In 1629, Eliot began teaching at a school near Chelmsford. As an assistant and guest in the home of Rev. Thomas Hooker, John Eliot may have picked up on the Puritan influence and converted. In 1630, Eliot left the school around the time Puritan persecutions by The Church of England forced his spiritual idol, Hooker, to exile to Holland. The persecutions and the oppression he faced led Eliot to move to America on November 3, 1631.On the voyage to the New World, Eliot served as the chaplain on the ship called the ""Lyon"". He arrived in New England and settled in Boston, Massachusetts. In that town he founded the Roxbury Latin School in 1645. Eliot would later become an ordained minister at a church in Roxbury where some members were those he sailed to the New World with. Records also show that one year after his arrival in 1631, Eliot married Hanna Mumford and conceived six children with her. The Encyclopedia Americana quoted her to be "dear, faithful, pious, purdent, prayerful wife." While preaching at Roxbury, John Eliot picked up an increasing interest in the surrounding Indian population. This newfound interest sparked him to want to convert their religion. Eliot found a young Indian servant, captured in the Pequot War of 1646, to come live in his home and help teach the Algonquin Indian Language. Once he was comfortable with the language, he translated teaching material, Eliot successfully preached to the Native Americans in October 1646 at Nonantum. His first sermons were in English but within the year he began preaching in the Indians native tongue. Many Indians claimed to be Christians after just a few meetings. The conversion of the Indians provoked Eliot to ask the Massachusetts General Court to give specific areas of land for the Indians to reside on. These towns would be built away from the colonial towns in order to help preserve the Indian culture, except for their religion. The court ruled in favor of this decision and also established an annual election to choose two clergymen to preach to the Indians. Support for Eliot's plan flooded from both the New and Old England. Many people donated a great deal of money to help his endeavors. Old England also induced Parliament to establish the "Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in New England," which showed their support in Eliot's work. Six Puritan churches were built in the settlements. Eliot organized the first settlement for the "Praying Indians" in a place called Natick. The town had a school and meeting-house. Eliot also went to further establish his purpose by printing out the first Algonkian Bible in America. This Bible would be printed almost 120 years before an English language Bible in America. Although King Phillip's War disrupted Eliot's work, he still made major religious contributions in America. He died on May 20, 1690 in Roxbury. His legacy was left behind in many writings such as ""Up-bookum Psalmes, The Indian Primer, The Harmony of the Gospels, The Communion of the Churches, the Bay Psalm Book, and The Christian Commonwealth.""

age of division

“AGE OF DIVISION”
No body knew Korea 50 years ago. But now, almost everyone knows South Korea who is famous for Kim chi, technology, and its beautiful culture. But before this all happened, Korea faced a very hard time at June 25, 1950. This was called the “Age of Division.”
1950 was the hardest time for Korea because of the division. North Korea was trying to over take South Korea but ended up in a terrible war. Many of Korea’s governments tried to prevent the two Koreas from dividing but failed. Many people died of sickness, war, and lack of food. Every day there was war for Korea. Many tried to escape but failed and all died. The war was put an end to when America crossed the line. Many Koreans say that American made things worse and divided Korea. If they didn’t, at least one side will win and conquer Korea but because of their interference things got worse. But others still thank America for ending the war.
This is why Korea is now divided into two. South Korea and North Korea. But in the future, there will be a treaty that would reunite the two Koreas and make things better for everyone.

Sir Isaac Newton, (4 January 1643 – 31 March 1727) [ OS: 25 December 1642 – 20 March 1727][1] was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, alchemist, and natural philosopher, regarded by many as the greatest figure in the history of science.[2] His treatise Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, published in 1687, described universal gravitation and the three laws of motion, laying the groundwork for classical mechanics. By deriving Kepler's laws of planetary motion from this system, he was the first to show that the motion of objects on Earth and of celestial bodies are governed by the same set of natural laws. The unifying and predictive power of his laws was integral to the scientific revolution, the advancement of heliocentrism, and the broader acceptance of the notion that rational investigation can reveal the inner workings of nature.
John Wesley (June 17, 1703 – March 2, 1791) was an 18th-century Anglican clergyman and Christian theologian who was an early leader in the Methodist movement. Methodism had three rises, the first at Oxford University with the founding of the so-called "Holy Club", the second while Wesley was parish priest in Savannah, Georgia, and the third in London after Wesley's return to England. The movement took form from its third rise in the early 1740s with Wesley, along with others, itinerant field preaching and the subsequent founding of religious societies for the formation of believers. This was the first widely successful evangelical movement in the United Kingdom. Wesley's Methodist connection included societies throughout England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland before spreading to other parts of the English-speaking world and beyond. He divided his religious societies further into classes and bands for intensive accountability and religious instruction

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (baptized Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart) (January 27, 1756 – December 5, 1791) was a prolific and influential composer of the Classical era. His output of more than six hundred compositions includes works widely acknowledged as pinnacles of symphonic, concertante, chamber, piano, operatic, and choral music. Mozart is among the most enduringly popular of European composers and many of his works are part of the standard concert repertoire. He is generally considered to be one of the greatest composers of classical music.
Isaac Watts (July 17, 1674 – November 25, 1748) is recognised as the "Father of English Hymnody", as he was the first prolific and popular English hymnwriter, credited with some 750 hymns. Many of his hymns remain in active use today and have been translated into many languages
Napoleon Bonaparte (born Napoleone di Buonaparte) (15 August 1769 – 5 May 1821) was a general during the French Revolution, the ruler of France as First Consul (Premier Consul) of the French Republic from 11 November 1799 to 18 May 1804, Emperor of the French (Empereur des Français) under the name Napoleon I (Napoléon 1er) from 18 May 1804 to 6 April 1814, and was briefly restored as Emperor from 20 March to 22 June 1815. He was also King of Italy, Mediator of the Swiss Confederation and Protector of the Confederation of the Rhine.
James Watt (19 January 1736 – 19 August 1819) was a Scottish inventor and engineer whose improvements to the steam engine were fundamental to the changes wrought by the Industrial Revolution

Family History

My funniest most memorable moment, which happened when I was two or three years old, was when my pinky got cut off by a metal door in Korea. It was bleeding a lot but I didn't cry. In fact I was curious about what blood was. I finally found out about the red plasma called blood at the hospital. This moment is even funny to me at some times. This is my moment.

“Biography of Copernicus”

Nicolaus Copernicus was born in February 19, 1473 and died in May 24, 1543. His greatest work that he gave was the heliocentric theory. He also made the book called “The Revolution” which answered all the questions of his days. He was a great polymath of the Renaissance. He was also a mathematician, astronomer, jurist, physician, classical scholar, governor, administrator, diplomat, economist, and even a soldier. He was an important person who participated in many events. His most favorite one was astronomy because he treated it like an avocation in his life. His sun-centered theory was one of the most important scientific hypotheses in history. His theory was the starting point of modern astronomy and modern science which encouraged many young scientists even today. His work helped the whole world understand astronomy.

Copernicus’ father was a wealthy businessman who sold copper, which was very important in those days, and was well respected in their city. Copernicus’ uncle, Lucas Watzenrode, was a church canon and later became bishop-prince governor of the Archbishopric of Warmia. His uncle’s position helped Copernicus in his studies in astronomy. Copernicus’ brother is Andreas and his two sisters are Barbara and Katherina. Andreas became a canon at Frombork, Barbara became a Benedictine nun, and Katharina married Barthel Gertner (a businessman and a city councilor). Copernicus’ mother, Barbara Watzenrode, is rarely known in history. All of Copernicus’ family helped him in creating the heliocentric theory. Not only them but two other important astronomers who helped were Galileo Galilei and Johann Kepler. This is the biography of Nicolaus Copernicus.
