These books are mainly about four teenagers, Judd who is sixteen, Vicki who is fourteen, Lionel who is thirteen, and Ryan who is twelve. These four teenagers are not Christians, but when the rapture came that all changed. Ryan eventually died in an earth quake which was a judgment from God. While traveling Lionel had to cut off part of his arm to survive because Judd went for help but didn’t come back until he was done.
The rapture was one of the most horrifying events for non-Christians. The reason the rapture happened is that every person on the earth the chance to choose Christ. The rapture happened at night. Judd, Vicki, and Lionel knew what happened right as they noticed that their and other people’s families were gone. Ryan saw his parents name listed among the dead on the TV. All four kids met each other at the church with Bruce Barnes. Ryan was the last one to decide to follow Christ.
Ryan’s parents were the only ones that weren’t Christians. Since all their parents were gone they all stayed at Judd’s house. Judd and Lionel’s parents were always Christians and Vicki’s parents became Christians a few years before the rapture.
The year after the rapture is called the tribulation. During the tribulation the anti-christ tries to get as many people to follow him and not God. Satan has taken over him. The people vote him to be the world leader. He said that he is God. Later on, he enforced a law that said everyone had to take a mark. This meant that anyone who did not take the mark would face the Guillotine.
The kids would witness to everyone they could. One of the ways they did it was making a newspaper to give the students at the school. When Judd graduated he took credit for publishing the newspaper so Vicki wouldn’t get in trouble. Their principle said that they would never be able to get a job because he was involved with the newspaper. The next year Vicki was sent to the Detention center, and then later adopted by Bruce. They also had a website but the Global Community had taken it over.
Many events happened during this time. The kids were often caught and sent to jail, but eventually escaped. Bruce and Judd went to Israel to tell the people about God. When the came back Bruce died from disease. Lionel and Judd returned to Israel and got stuck. They did eventually return to the United States.
Even though it is intense during this time, a little romance went on. While Judd was in Israel he met a girl named Nada. They began to date and eventually were boyfriend and girlfriend. During a judgment of God, Nada was shot and killed. Judd had a hard time. When Judd returned to the United States, he and Vicki became close and eventually married a few months before Jesus returned.
Before the Glorious Appearing of Jesus, a huge, yellow cross appeared every where. It didn’t matter where the people were, every Christian could see it. Every Christian who was hurt was now healed. Even Lionel’s arm came back. Anyone who did not accept Christ and took Carpathia’s mark was sent to hell. After that Jesus came back and brought Heaven to Earth. Now everyone knew each other and the people left behind were reunited with their families.
