Left Behind Overview

The end is coming

But a lot has to happen

before the world is destroyed

We do not know when

but this is what is coming

Two things must happen first

Many will stop believing in Jesus

(the rapture takes place, then:)

Then a man God calls the man of sin

(a false Christ)

will seem to fix the world's problems

2 Thessalonians 2.1-3 Revelation 13

Before the really bad stuff happens

Jesus Christ will come and get His people

and reward His {obedient} servants

He {removed} will remove His people rapture

before He {poured} pours out His wrath on the wicked

because they

God has a big plan

God has everything under control.

God created time.

He sees everything from Creation to the end.

God wanted all of us to be with Him forever!

But we all do bad things caled sins.

Our sins must be paid

or we can not go to heaven.

God says

For the wages of sin is death;

{And }the soul that sinneth, it shall die.

Romans 6.23

Ezekiel 18.4

Only someone with no sin could pay for anyone else's

Otherwise, he could only pay for his own sin.

And only someone perfect could pay for all of our sins.
