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.
