THE MIDNIGHT CRY
THE LAST NEWS
Tomorrow's Headlines Today
MILLIONS MISSING AROUND THE WORLD
Area airport ticket counters were empty as all travel came to a halt last night.
At 12:05 last night a telephone operator reported three frantic calls regarding missing relatives.  Within fifteen minutes all communications were jammed with similar inquiries.  A spot check around the nation found the same situation in every city.  Sobbing husbands sought information about the mysterious disappearance of wives.  One husband reported "...I turned on the light to ask my wife if she remembered to set the clock, but she was gone.  Her bedclothes were there, her watch was on the floor...she just disappeared. .."  An alarmed caller from Brooklyn tearfully reported--". ..My husband just returned from the late shift...I kissed him...he just disappeared in my arms..."
Less than thirty-five minutes after the first calls were received a well known television executive took to the air with the first explanation of the mass midnight disappearing.  He was quoted as saying that the strange disappearance of millions last night was a biblical prediction that suddenly exploded into fulfillment.  In determined syllables he spelled out what he called the 'rapture of the saints.'  "Jesus Christ has returned to the earth and has taken His Christian people as His bride...It has been forecast for centuries... My own mother spoke often of this day.  We have been left behind.  There is no hope.  I have missed the only thing worth living for.  I like you -- refused to believe in the literal coming of Jesus Christ."
All major television and radio networks cancelled late programs and have been operating on a round the clock news service.  By 12:45 this morning mass hysteria had gripped the world.  No other explanation has been offered as yet.  To the millions left behind in the wake of this gigantic mystery one cold fact looms larger by the hour -- "JESUS CHRIST HAS COME.  HE HAS TAKEN HIS BRIDE TO BE WITH HIM FOREVER.  THE WORLD AWAITS HIS NEXT MOVE."
 
MANY GRAVES FOUND OPEN -- BODIES GONE
Shortly after the news broke last night that Jesus had come--thousands took to the cemeteries looking for the bodies of loved ones.  Most of those in the cemetery -- who found empty graves -- were there mainly because of a bible verse they had heard.  (First Thessalonians 4:16) "For the Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: AND THE DEAD IN CHRIST SHALL RISE FIRST..."  The dead were the first to be found missing last night.
 
HUNDREDS TRAMPLED TO DEATH DURING REVIVAL MEETING
Little Worth, Texas reports sixty-three persons trampled to death when over two thousand people tried to rush from the Civic Auditorium at the very height of a revival service.  The Reverend Forthright was reading his text...in an hour that ye think not -- then shall the son of man come...'  Right before the eyes of thousands the minister suddenly disappeared.  The choir disappeared.  Over two-thirds of the congregation disappeared.  Those left behind began to scream and run in all directions.  Over three hundred ran weeping for mercy.  Trampling, pushing, screaming, wailing -- the crowd kept yelling -- 'Jesus has come -- we're lost -- we're left behind.'  From coast to coast services like this were interrupted.  The same was true in store front churches -- in rallies, in open air meetings, in house prayer meetings.  Jesus has come for His church -- His bride.
 
WORLD LEADERS CALL FOR UNITED NATIONS EMERGENCY SESSION
A Canadian official was the first of many world leaders to call for a special emergency session of the United Nations to discuss the new world crisis brought about by the mysterious disappearance of millions.  Speaking over the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation network he called for immediate steps to regain world confidence.  He voiced the fear that as a result of the crisis -- Russia would take immediate steps to launch an all out hydrogen war.  He stated -- "The world is tottering on its axis.  A waiting world looks to the skies for an explanation.  Fear and terror has blinded the eyes of men everywhere.  Godless Russia will take advantage of this fear.  She will strike in an effort to claim responsibility for this calamity.  We must be prepared for an attack."
One hour after the broadcast -- the official Russian news agency TASK -- carried a report that the Soviet presidium was contemplating a statement in effect that a new secret weapon was launched and is responsible for the mysterious disappearance.  All armed forces in Russia have been alerted to stand by for orders.  One correspondent reports unusual activity at three major missile launching sites in the Ukraine.
Two American planes crash landed on Russian soil -- but no pilots were found.  They are believed to be victims of the disappearance.  Russia is prepared to use these crashes as an excuse to launch an attack on the West.  There was no comment from Washington.
 
PLAYFUL, SENSUAL WORLD SHOCKED BY SUDDEN MASS KIDNAPPING
Around the world crowds were eating, drinking and playing--unaware of what was happening to thousands of Christian people.  Broadway was packed with thrill seeking multitudes -- champagne and whiskey was flowing like water -- inebriated dancers were whiling away morning hours -- gourmets were greedily tasting their fancy foods.  Wedding bells were ringing from many steeples.  Divorce proceedings were in full swing.  Lovers lane was crowded with thrill seeking fornicators.  Building contractors were busily making plans for new gigantic projects.  Wealthy men were laying plans for new investments.  Buyers and sellers were restlessly active.  New crops and vineyards were being planned.  Smoking, drinking, cursing crowds were talking about the fabulous future.
The shocking news that broke last night has left everyone reeling.  Some revelers were remembering the haunting message delivered by a radio speaker just the night before.  From Saint Luke he quoted: "Likewise, also, as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; (married and were given in marriage) But the same day that Lot went out to Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from Heaven, and destroyed them all.  Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed..." (Luke 17:28 to 30).
The plans mean nothing now.  The one ingredient that made them possible is now missing -- MORE TIME!  TIME IS RUNNING OUT FOR THE SIN CROWD!
 
DEATH STALKS THE HIGHWAY
Unidentified man critically injured when struck by driverless car.
Pennsylvania turnpike travelers sat by the roadside -- stunned and alarmed.  Driverless autos raced down the highway smashing into other cars and tunnel entrances.  Stranded automobiles blocked every major highway in America.  Missing drivers could not be located.  A four car collision in Massachusetts was described by a wife who lived to tell the story.  "We were headed for Pittsburgh with two children.  I was lighting a cigarette when my husband started to pass a big truck.  Just as he was about to turn into his own lane--I looked and he was gone.  I thought maybe he fell out, so I grabbed the wheel.  I couldn't hold the car in the lane and we crashed head-on with three other cars.  My children are gone, too.  My husband was a good man.  He loved the Lord.  He went with Jesus.  He was taken from me."
Major airlines reported traffic patterns are all mixed up and a number of planes have collided and others are off course.  Missing airport controllers have caused an emergency of major proportions.
Railroad officials have admitted that five trains have crashed in the last eight hours.  Eight hundred and seventy have died as a result.  Switchboard operators were among the missing.  Other collisions have, also, been reported with freight trains.  The toll of death at many crossroads is alarming.
A Staten Island ferry was stranded when two of the crew suddenly disappeared.  Three subway crashes were reported.  A Blue Line bus carrying sixty passengers crashed into a bridge and plunged into the river when the driver disappeared.
Adding to the tragedy of the highways and communications systems -- are the thousands of motorists who have loaded their cars and are heading to the mountains to escape the wrath of God.  This exodus to the rocks and mountains and wilderness is causing more confusion by the hour.
 
TEENAGERS TURN ON THEIR PARENTS
A New York City teen gang leader today called for a national "Hate thy Parents Club."  This club will enlist teenagers around the world who will swear to betray their parents.  They will spend their time in organizing "hate activities" aimed at getting even with parents who didn't take time to tell them the truth about the coming of Jesus Christ.  The organizer stated that for years teenagers have been losing all their morals and living in just and terrible sin.  Now they are going to get even with their parents who he believes are really at fault.  He reasons that a parent that really cares for a son, or daughter, would at least talk about eternal things.
 
THOUSANDS OFFER TO GO TO THE MOON
Seeking refuge from the terror of the last hours since the coming of Christ -- hundreds are camping at Cape Kennedy in hopes the new crisis will speed up rocket production.  Calls and fanatical invasions have hampered all missile and rocket activity.
 
THRONGS IN THE NATION DIE OF HEART ATTACK
Thousands of coronary victims have died since the news was released concerning the multitudes who are missing in Chicago -- the famed loop was the scene of prostrated heart victims.  Fifty-five victims were taken to the morgue for identification.  In Los Angeles and New York it was reported that as many as three hundred deaths per hour are being reported to hospitals.  All have died due to heart failure because of the strange happenings in the past hours.
Hospitals and morgues have refused to take in any more heart victims.  They are operating under crowded conditions and are much understaffed due to the many nurses and some doctors who have, also, disappeared.
A remaining church leader quoted a scripture from the bible as an explanation for the thousands of heart failures.  He quoted from Saint Luke 21:25 and 26.  "And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring: MEN'S HEARTS FAILING THEM FOR FEAR, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of Heaven shall be shaken..."
Clinics request that all residents who suffer from weakness of heart stay at home and try not to think of all the tragedy.  They simply cannot handle any more cases.
 
WEEPING MOTHERS CRY 'WHERE IS MY BABY?'
Denver mother screams for missing child.
Every news service in the world has now reported millions of missing babies.  Thousands of hospitals all over the earth report that every single baby in the maternity ward is missing.  At the very moment the world experienced the return of Christ -- a strange silence settled on thousands of homes and hospitals.  Mothers who one moment were feeding hungry little children were suddenly left clutching at air.  Not only are the babies missing, but, also, millions of children under seven years of age.
In Denver, Colorado -- a young mother fell exhausted after running for thirty-five blocks screaming -- 'My baby is gone -- my baby is gone.'  Thousands of parents -- too stunned to know what to do next -- are sitting tearfully by the empty cribs and bedsides of missing children hoping against hope that this is all, a terrible dream.
One observer has been quoted as saying -- "Jesus once said -- Suffer the little children to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of God.  Now it is very evident that Jesus has called all the little children to himself once and for all."
If you have a missing child -- or say missing person in your family -- Do not call the police.  There is nothing they can do.
 
HELL'S ANGELS RALLY AT UNION SQUARE
A mass rally of Hells Angels has been set for high noon at Union Square.  Rinko Angel -- a spokesman for the group told newsmen that this crisis has proved the "finest" hour for all Hells Angels.  They will meet in public to prove they are not victims of what he called -- "mass hallucination. "  With a leering taunt he lifted his voice: "We do not believe there is a Jesus Christ -- how can we accept His coming?  We have cursed his deity -- why should we bless his so called 'return'?  We believe that this will pass over and the world will sit and blush for acting so stupid.  We will stand on Union Square and continue shaking our fists at the heavens.  We dare any eternal being to intrude in our bliss.  I shall call for every true Hells Angel to show his colors.  We are scoffers to the very last man."
When asked why so many Hells Angels have been seen joining the crowds in the packed out churches, he became angry.  "They are the cowards.  Let them mix tears with their beer. -- they are chicken -- victims of a materialistic fear."
He stated that he expected over one thousand Hells Angels and sympathizers.  He plans a special cheering section and circle parade to denounce what he called "the hoax of the century."
Easter and Christmas Observance Cancelled!
 
HEATHEN TRIBES MOURN AND WAIL WITH FEAR
A wave of fear grips the jungle.  Strife ridden Congo was silent today except for the wailing natives who were stricken with the news of the coming of Jesus Christ.  The message of the missionary has finally dawned on them -- but too late.  Reading from a bible left by a missionary -- a tribal chief read from Matthew 24:30 -- "Then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in Heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of Heaven with power and great glory..."
Empty Houses On Every Street!
 
ALL COMMUNICATIONS JAMMED BY THOUSANDS
All telephone and telegraph service is tied up by thousands of anxious confessors who seek a moment to talk to a friend they once wronged.  Confessions have been pouring over the lines for hours since the first reports of the coming of Christ.  Families that have held grudges for years have been desperately trying to make contact.  Already over seven million dollars worth of goods have been returned to the rightful owners.
Frantic church members have been calling and visiting at ministers homes trying to get a few moments of his time to confess their treatment of him.  In most cases he is among the missing.  One woman was heard confessing to a minister about how she had spread so much gossip about his activities -- when suddenly she turned on him and cried, "Why am I confessing to you -- you need to confess to me -- you are left behind, too."
 
STOCK MARKET FACES CRASH
Latest stock market reports reveal impact of national mass hysteria.  Hundreds of buyers refused to show -- while death claimed twenty-two major dealers.  Unless the trend is stopped -- a complete market crash will cripple world economy within a few hours.  Frightened sellers fear panic stricken America will not recover from the impact of the so-called "rapture of the saints of God."
The elderly preacher who stood for twenty-five years on the corner of Wall Street and Broadway Street preaching about the coming of Jesus Christ was keenly missed by all observers.  His message and booming voice had become the entertaining highlight of the day on Wall Street.  Well dressed men grinned at one another as the preacher cried out in vain -- "Jesus is coming!  GET READY!  Confess your sins.  Call on the Lord while there is time.  This market will crash when Jesus comes."  His message went unheeded -- until this morning.  Thousands of his listeners waiting for two hours for the old man.  He did not show up for his usual tirade -- the old preacher was among the missing.
 
TEENAGE MOBS DEMOLISH FIVE MILLION DOLLAR CHURCH
City businesses burn out of control because several firemen were reported missing from duty.
A swarming horde of screaming teenagers totally demolished the FIRST CHURCH OF SOCIAL ACTION at 666 South Broadway this morning.  Fourteen youths were killed in the melee and another seventy-five were critically injured.  The action was set off around 2:00 this a.m. at the very height of an all night prom sponsored by the church.  Nearly five hundred teenagers were on hand for the festivities.  At exactly 12:37 a.m. a teenager rushed into the hall and headed straight for the podium.  Grabbing the microphone, the performing rock and roll singer blared out a startling message that fell like a ton of terror on every person.  Grasping for breath, he screamed -- "SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAS HAPPENED.  PEOPLE ARE MISSING ALL OVER THE WORLD.  I even called my house -- there's no answer.  My mother is a good Christian.  She told me not to come tonight -- she told me Jesus would come when I didn't expect him.  I know Jesus has come."
One teenager who was at the dance later reported -- "The whole place turned into a panic scene.  Everyone was screaming and crying.  They pulled the chaperone up front and made her tell them what was going on.  It was pitiful.  She just stood there white and pale and shaking all over.  She passed out just when one of the church deacons came in.  He was shaking and all the children began to pull on his coat.  He was dumbfounded.  One of the boys took the microphone and started to preach.  He said he knew what had happened.  He used to be a good Christian.  For almost fifteen minutes he told them that it was true about Jesus coming back to the earth.  He told them it was too late now to do any thing, so they might as well dance and have a good time, because they would all land in hell no matter what happened next."
The dance did not proceed.  Instead furious teenagers enraged for what they called 'a cheating church' -- fled from the recreation hall and into the main church auditorium.  Tearing down drapes, ripping out seats, breaking windows -- the cursing teenage mob then set fire to the building and ran out to the street yelling and taunting -- WE WANT THE TRUTH -- WE WANT THE TRUTH."

KNOWN COMEDIAN PLANS 'PARTY OF THE CENTURY'
While millions await developments and word concerning missing friends and relatives, one Hollywood entertainer laid plans for the "wildest party of the century."  Questioned on his reasons for such a party at this time he quipped back, "Let's all eat, drink and be merry--for tomorrow we may die."  He plans to "go in style."  He explained that overnight certain moral restraints were mysteriously lifted and that this party would bring laughter into a world of gloom.
The moral restraints he referred to is believed to be the thousands of Christian people who were taken from the earth last night.  As a result of their disappearance a new moral code is being recommended.  "GET ALL YOU CAN -- DO ALL YOU CAN -- LET GO -- WHILE YOU CAN" -- is the new law of the social set.
The party will feature entertainers from around the world.  It will last for three days and will feature all night dancing to the newly discovered beat called the "BELSHAZZAR ROCK."  The new beat called "Belshazzar Rock" was discovered by a swinging group last night just two hours after the "big vanish."  One observer stated -- "This new beat allows one to look at this disappearance with a laugh -- I don't know where it came from -- but man -- IT WILL TAKE THE WORLD OVER IN A FEW DAYS."
The second night of the party will be highlighted with a "spoof" production entitled - "THE OLD TIME RELIGION."  The production will be staged in a large tent.  Sawdust will be strewn in front of the stage and a rock and roll band will open with a mock up version of the song--"Old Time Religion."  The production will feature imitations of famous missing ministers.  A ten minute take off on Billy Graham will be followed by a great "INVITATION DANCE."  The dance is performed with upraised hands waving and bending the knee on every fifth beat.
The party will climax with the biggest "FIX" party night ever.  Each visitor will be offered free drinks, drugs, films.  The motto will be -- GET YOUR FIX NOW FOR ETERNITY -- TOMORROW MAY BE TOO LATE."
 
THINK on these THINGS when they begin to SAY PEACE AND SAFETY, THEN COMETH SUDDEN DESTRUCTION.  (Read First Thessalonians 5:3).
 
THOUSANDS ATTEMPT SUICIDE
Friends attempt to persuade man not to jump from bridge.
The worst aftermath of the great mysterious disappearance last night is the horrible wave of suicide attempts being made by thousands.  In most cases those who are attempting to end it all have at one time, or another, had a chance to get right with God.  They are those who have heard the message of His coming over and over again and have grown hard to its truth.
Thousands of young people woke up this morning to find parents missing.  Mothers were gone -- brothers and sisters were missing.  While many others were surprised by the rapture -- they seemed to know instantly what had happened.  When the full impact of the coming of Jesus dawned on them and when they realized they had thrown aside many chances to repent and get ready -- they became desperate.  Remorse began driving them to seek a way out.  Many have been driven completely out of their minds as they sit in their bedrooms sobbing -- "I'm left behind -- I'm left behind -- There is no hope."
Am eighteen year old girl in Manhattan, New York was found slashing her wrists with a razor.  Hysterically she told how she had returned around two in the morning from a date.  She slipped into the bedroom to kiss her mother goodnight -- but mother was not there.  Her bedclothes were on the bed and her bible lay on the pillow.  Alarmed, she woke up her father.  While her father made frantic calls to the neighbors -- the young lady began to read from the bible where it had been left open.  She read just two lines and fell to the floor unconscious.  Her father picked up the bible -- and read these words: "Two shall be sleeping in the bed: one shall be taken and the other left..." (Luke 17:34).
Her father dressed and ran from the house weeping and pale.  The young lady told how she had sat for three hours living through hell as she remembered how often her mother had warned her of this night.  She remembered going to church -- she remembered the minister's message of Christ's return -- she even remembered how she promised God she would one day get right with Him.  Despondent and unable to face the future alone -- she began slashing her wrists.
Added to the horror now falling over the earth is the fact that some are saying that even suicide will not appease an angry God.  They say there will be a resurrection of all the wicked dead.  They will still have to stand before God.  Death is not the way out.
 
GIGANTIC BON FIRE OF SEX BOOKS ON TIMES SQUARE
At four o'clock this morning an elderly gentleman was seen angrily tearing down his newsstand on Times Square.  After tearing the stand apart, he proceeded to pile every magazine and sex book on top of the wood.  He poured gasoline over the heap and ignited it.  When asked why he was doing it -- he tearfully replied: "I'm burning all this trash so that maybe God will have mercy on my soul.  I've peddled this junk for twenty-five years and I know it has ruined the lives of thousands of young people -- but maybe there is still hope for me."
A crowd of over ten thousand people gathered and the flames leaped higher as the crowd grew in numbers.  Hundreds of bystanders were throwing books, cigarettes, and pictures on the blaze.  Each one did so with the same hope of the man who started the fire.  They were seeking atonement for their sins.
Other fires across the country rage on out of control.  Angry mobs of youth and adult have been setting fire to bars, casinos, pool rooms, theaters, and other places of amusement.  A perverted sense of vengeance has gripped those who used to visit these places.
A spokesman for a nearby observatory said that the recent red color of the moon may be explained by Acts 2:20.
 
WORLD WIDE INDUSTRY PARALYZED
Union officials have not yet completed their reports on missing mill workers.  It is now official that thousands of workers are missing from union plants everywhere.  The first startling report of missing mill workers came from Stubenville, Ohio -- where four lathe workers rushed into the night office to report a sudden disappearance of two other men on the same lathe.  The excited men told of passing a hot tempered fagot to one of the missing men -- only to see him dissolve in thin air.  The same report has been reaching union and management offices for hours since the midnight rapture.
A strange report from Atlanta, Georgia tells of a grinder at a metal polishing plant going into hysterics when she found her helper missing.  Her bible was found open to the book of Matthew and these words were underlined:. ..Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, the other left..." (Matthew 24:41).
Among the missing are auto workers, steel mill workers, and others from plastics, glass ware, fabrics, farmers, lumbermen, office workers, etc.  Management reports heavy losses and damages due to key missing workers who were not there to avoid a tragedy.
Religious publishing houses stood vacant this morning as a ghostly reminder that only the 'saved' were taken in this rapture.  All Christian publications have been paralyzed in production.  Most obvious of all is the complete breakdown of all religious radio and television programming.  At midnight three well known radio speakers were suddenly cut off.  Frantic operators tried to make contact without success.  They are reported missing.  Food deliveries will be hampered.  Milk deliveries will be delayed.  Mail carriers are among the missing.  In every industry -- in every section of the world -- men are missing.  Workers have disappeared.  It is a gloomy day for union and management.
 
PANIC STALKS HIGH SCHOOL CORRIDORS
Absenteeism reached an all time high today when thousands of teenagers and grade school children did not show up for regular classes.  One city school principal reported five teachers missing and over one hundred and seventy-five students unaccounted for.  He believes that all are victims of the mass disappearance that took place last night.
Hundreds of students refused to leave their classrooms because of fear.  The auditorium was opened for those who wished to pray for the missing students.  Stunned and shocked -- most teenagers spent the time looking about for certain "Christian" youth.  Some remembered that club members of Hi-Ba, Teenage Evangelism, and Youth for Christ were all missing.  One teenager went to her locker and brought out a small booklet one of the Christian girls had given to her the day before.
A crowd gathered as she read the solemn warning -- GET READY -- TIME IS SHORT -- JESUS WILL COME SOON.  Before she could conclude, a young basketball star fell to his knees screaming -- "WHY DIDN'T WE LISTEN -- I MADE FUN OF THAT GIRL -- I CALLED HER A RELIGIOUS FANATIC -- MY GOD -- I'M LOST."
Dropping books on the steps--on corridor halls--teenagers were seen running wildly for the exits.  Some ran home for more information -- others headed for the nearest church, or synagogue to pray and seek mercy.  Regardless of the outcome of this strange midnight affair -- one thing is certain -- IT WILL BE A LONG TIME BEFORE THOUSANDS OF TEENAGERS RETURN TO THE HAUNTED HALL OF THE HIGH SCHOOL.
 
TEENAGE MOBS TERRORIZE CITY
Teen gangs are roving city streets brandishing switch blades and zip guns.  They are tearing down bar rooms and some churches.  They have, also, threatened to destroy any minister who can be blamed for not preaching the message of the coming of Jesus Christ.
 
STEAM SHIP REFUSES TO SAIL
Fearing seventy-five feet tidal waves and fantastic tides -- the official of this steam ship line refused to sail on schedule.  Crew members are missing.  No one is signing for the trip and those scheduled have changed their plans.
 
Soldiers await word from headquarters concerning the strange disappearance of several enlisted men and officers.
 
MASS HYSTERIA AT AMERICA ONLINE
(Not in original newspaper) (Written/added by me)
Just after the mass disappearance last night all computers were jammed as key workers vanished before the very eyes of other workers.  One lady reported, "I was just watching the lady sitting next to me talking to someone on the telephone.  Right in the middle of her sentence, she disappeared.  I could hear the lady that she was talking to yelling into the phone, "Miss Wright, Miss Wright, MISS WRIGHT, are you there?" just to receive no answer.  The clothes Miss Wright was wearing fell in a heap to the floor.  I turned around thinking that Miss Wright was standing there with no clothes on, but she was gone."
Shock and disbelief seemed to show on many faces.  Workers were standing around trying to figure out who was going to take the place of missing workers.
Then, an announcement came over the speakers, as the president of America Online started to speak.  "Fellow workers, things have taken a dramatic turn here at America Online.  People who were several minutes ago talking to members on the telephone and the next minute they are nowhere to be seen.  Mass hysteria has come to America Online.  Computers are jammed and the people who know how to get them up and running are gone.  We must face the future without them.  From the reports I have been hearing, there are missing people in every Internet company all over the world.  I believe we have just experienced the bible prophecy where it says Jesus is coming for His own.  His own are the only ones missing in this mass disappearance. "  The announcement came to an abrupt halt as the president of America Online started screaming, "I KNEW JESUS WAS COMING.  WHY DIDN'T I LISTEN?"
How many of us are asking the same question now?  We have all been left behind to face the future.
