When the author of the NY Times best selling book series, “Left Behind” was about to release another book, “Glorious Appearing,” back in 2004, he was quoted saying,
“‘I really believe that there is a blessing on this series from the Lord,” he said. ”Just like with the ‘Passion’ movie, it is all part of the warning we get before Christ returns.” He added, ”Many people have asked me, Do you think they will finish the series before Christ comes?”
The series is about the pre-tribulation, and apocalyptic theology based from the Bible. The books have become top sellers and now the film, is also reaching many people. The film has, of course had positive feedback and some criticism regarding reviews and it being based on the Bible. The writer and director responded to people via Facebook and wanted to show his appreciation to those who have supported the film. He mentioned on October 13, 2014:
“I just want to thank everyone who has shown their support for the Left Behind movie so far. Our non-preaching approach to evangelism hasn’t been universally popular among believers, and our bold depiction of what can only be considered a ‘fantastic’ prophecy to the unbelievers has led to nothing short of ridicule from every direction.
But in the end, close to two million people have now seen the rapture with their own eyes, and whether they accept the Truth or not, at least they’ll know what happened to the rest of us when that day comes. Reading through the comments and testimonies from people who had loved ones accept Christ after seeing the movie puts it all into perspective. God is using this movie to reach people who had once been unreachable! All the criticism and attacks in the world can’t take that away. If you know of someone who has been impacted by the movie and taken a step closer to God, please share it with all of us. God bless each and every one of you.”
– Paul Lalonde (writer, producer)
