Web Site Offers to Send Post-Rapture E-Mails to Friends 'Left Behind'
Friday, June 06, 2008




Manhattan burns in a screen shot from the computer game 'Left Behind: Eternal Forces.'
A new Web site is offering a miraculous service — e-mails sent to loved ones left behind on Earth after you've been swept up to heaven in the Rapture.

YouveBeenLeftBehind.com promises to alert up to 62 people exactly six days after the event that, according to the Bible, signals the beginning of Armageddon, Wired magazine's Threat Level reports.

"You've Been Left Behind gives you one last opportunity to reach your lost family and friends for Christ," the site promoting the service says.

Final e-mails from vanished subscribers will be triggered when three of the site's five Christian staffers fail to log in for six days in a row.

The site, the brainchild of Mark Heard, charges $40 a year for the service, which also includes 150 megabytes of encrypted storage space, recommended for financial information, Threat Level reports.

"In the encrypted portion of your account you can give them access to your banking, brokerage, hidden valuables and powers of attorneys," the site says.

Seven years, of course, is all the time that will be left," it explains. "So, basically the Government of the Antichrist gets your stuff, unless you make it available in another way."

According to Christian theology, after the Rapture, Satan will rule a global government that will torment doubters with seven years of Tribulation.

Heard told Threat Level that he already has paying subscribers.

pathetic

Oh! really?....Now why would you say something like that?
....................................benny

Do you have your subscription yet? A smart person like you realizes that just because you believe in a rapture doesn't mean you won't get "left behind."

i just find this common portrayal of the rapture pepostrous and pathetic. i believe there will be a rapture, but i don't believe it will transpire like the "left behind" series are falsely portraying.

You must be one of those closet pre-tribbers That's OK...Come out of the closet.No one going to make fun of you.

..............................................benny

I sincerely hope you or anyone reading this post is not naive enough to pay $40 to this "YouveBeenLeftBehind.com" website. I think it makes more sense to Reach out to your family and friends now before it's too late and convince them to accept Christ into their heart. Don't wait....until it's too late!!

God's Blessings!!

Rob

Oh! really?
I find that interesting.
I would like to hear you scenerio, maybe a little scripture to back it up, to help paint the picture.

.........................................benny

I guess that depends if one could afford it.........What's a couple mill.
I have people that are not saved....But I still believe that they are not stupid enough to except the mark...........I think this maybe why this website was thought of. To give those left behind a fighting chance............But I think it is only puting off the inevitable.
..............................................benny

Hey dude, IF I would be raptured, do you not think that God is well capable to inform my loved ones (if they are not already with me)?

Making a filthy buck of what God gave freely?
I hope you realize that your e-mail server is now a potential target for Sodom's brimstone, my advice is to change your greedy ways.

For indeed, you have been left behind (so far)

You do not believe in a pre-trib rapture...So what is it to you?
What you got something against christian book stores.
Maybe you think that money grows on trees, and people can afford to print knowledge for free?
The Lord said to the disciples that one among them would betray Him.
And one of the disciples moved close to the Lord and asked; Lord! which one is he?
And the Lord replied;What is it to you!..Follow Me!.....There is an arm and a toe.
There's a leg and a finger.
Everyone has thier own calling....Who are you to judge another in how they serve the Lord!The Lord's thoughts are higher than yours.His ways are different than your ways....................................benny

i am also going to leave this hear and would like to see you try to get me to see it your way its pathetic to think that christians will pay $40 dollars to have post rapture emails sent to friends and family left behind

i have read the book seriouse by Tim Lahoy and i have played the left behind game eternal forces until god delt with me and i had to ask him to forgive me



yes hear we have it folks better sign up and have $40 dollars taken out of your credit card so your loved ones and your friends can be reached


i believe in what the bible has to say not on what tim lahoy and the many christians who believe in what you have put up hear


does this mean that i am in sin because i disagree people should be allowed to disagree with out having some one judge them



god bless from damo

Accepting or not accepting the mark will have little to do with stupidity and all to do with faith in Christ. If someone is without faith and hope and that person is hungry, that person will see no other way for self preservation, than to accept the mark. No other options are available for them to offer their families. In the last days and without the mark, Gods children will be depending totally on our Father to take care of us. But who shall be looking out for the unbeliever and the unfaithful? When one has a hungry belly and their children are ill and need medical attention (That only those bearing the mark will be able to get), and as a parent one can't get a job without the mark...it's not going to be stupidity about accepting that mark.

Gods Blessings,

Al

So you have a problem of leaving a message behind?
................................benny

I personally know of congregations who have stocked videos, food blankets, bibles, medicine,instructions for those who would find it when looking for answers...............Do you have anything to offer?.....You cannot take it with you....may as well put it to good use.....or is your heart harden, by making the statement..."You should have listened to me! now pay the price!
I personaly will leave a letter behind with instructions.

Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God's unique Son. John 3:18


There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Romans 8:1
John 3:18

Benny, if you stop posting for six days I will know you've been raptured! hahaha

Just kidding, Benny. I do enjoy reading your posts

yeh i do the problem i have is this you guys are judging us who dont hold onto your views and its caused a split to the point where the ones who believe in the rapture feel we who do not believe are being deceived

as i said i have read the left behind seriouse by tim lahoy and played eternal forces until god delt with me

i was a firm believer i no longer hold on to the same views you hold on to and i dont want to see new christians fall for this rubbish

here is where i woke up


how many raptures will there be


scripture speaks of two distinct ressurections the first ressurection is of the Just and the second ressurection is of the unjust christians believe that there will be a ressurection of both the believing and the dead


Dainel 12 - 2


and many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake these to everlasting life but the others to disgrace and everlasting contempt



Luke 14 - 14


And you will be blessed because they can not repay you for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteouse



John 5 28 - 29


Do not marvel at this for the hour is comming in which all who are in the graves will hear his voice and come forth those who have done good to the resurrection of life and those who have done evil to the resurrection of condemnation



Hebrews 11 - 35


women received their dead by resurrection others were tortured refusing to accept release in order to obtain a better resurrection



Revelations 20 - 5

The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended this is the first resurrection



John 6 - 39 ,40,44

And this is the will of him who sent me that i should lose nothing of all that he has given me but raise it up on the last day

This is indeed the will of my father that all who see the son and believe in him may have eternal life and i will raise them up on the last day no one can come to me unless drawn by the father who sent me and i will raise that person up on the last day


so you tell me you have the bible saying one thing and tim lahoy and this dude saying something that does not sound right or does it line up with what i am seeing know when it comes to the translations we read from we all see this to how we understand it for our selves


i dont believe in spreading fear when it comes to a new christian if god wants us to know what you have put up i am sure god will open our eyes and give us the wisdom we need



2 Timothy 4 - 1


in the presence of God and Christ Jesus who will judge the living and the dead and in view of his appearing and his kingdom i give you this charge


1 timothy 4 - 2


through the hypocrisy of men that speak lies branded in their own consceience as with a hot iron


so you tell me how on earth are computers going to respond when god does decide to judge us who is going to be left to be told they have been left behind when it says in gods living word we all will face god

this is just a scam to make money on the side and i will not let no one fall for this rubbish




1 Thessalonians 4 - 16,17,18,


For the lord him self shall descend from heaven with a shout with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God and the dead in christ will rise first


Then we that are alive that are left together with them be cought up in the clouds to meet the lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the lord


wherefore comfort oneanother with these words




1 corinthians 15, 51 - 58


Listen i will tell you a mystery we will not all die but we will be changed in a moment in the twinkling of an eye at the last trumpet for the trumpet will sound and the dead will be raised imperishable and we will be changed

For this perishable body must put on imperishability And this body must put on immortality then the saying that is written will be fulfilled Death has been swallowed up in victory where o death is your victory ? where o death is your sting ? The sting of death is sin and the power of sin is the law But thanks be to god who gives us the victory through our lord Jesus christ

Therefore my beloved be steadfast immovable always excelling in the work of the lord because you know that in the lord your labor is not in vain



sorry bud i will not be moved or will i alow you to tell me i have a problem i pray that no one else falls for this rubbish



god bless from damo

Yeah, I would assume that the truth is bitter to you,...But yes damo, you are very much being deceived...there is no other way to tell you...yes, you have been deceived.Damo, I only want to present the truth of what the scriptures teach.

Multiple Resurrections
Concerning resurrection, Jesus clearly taught that there would be more than one resurrection. In John 5:29 He refers to a "resurrection of life" and a "resurrection of judgment." The apostle Paul confirmed this concept in his defense before Felix when he stated that he believed the teaching of the prophets "that there shall certainly be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked" (Acts 24:15).

Of course, it could be argued that the two resurrections referred to in these scriptures will occur at the same time. Thus, because they will happen simultaneously, there is, in effect, only one resurrection. However, the Scriptures establish the fact that the resurrection of the righteous will occur in stages.

In other words, the Bible does not teach one resurrection or even two resurrections in number. Rather, it teaches that there will be two resurrections in type which will be conducted in stages, resulting in several resurrections — at least four, to be specific.



The Resurrection of the Just
That the resurrection of the righteous will occur in stages is clearly taught in 1 Corinthians 15:20-24. In fact, the first stage of the resurrection of the righteous has already happened, for verse 20 says that "Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep."

Verses 22 and 23 go on to explain that all who have died in Christ shall be made alive, "but each in his own order: Christ, the first fruits, after that those who are Christ's at His coming."

The imagery of the harvest that is used in these verses is a key to understanding the first resurrection — the resurrection of the righteous.

The Harvest Imagery
In Bible times the harvest was conducted in three stages. It began with the gathering of the first fruits which were offered as a sacrifice of thanksgiving to God.

It proceeded with the general harvest. But not all was taken in this harvest. Some of the crop was left in the field to be gathered by the poor and the needy. This was called the gleanings (Leviticus 19:9-10).

Using this imagery, the Bible presents the resurrection of Jesus as the "first fruits" of the resurrection of the righteous. The gathering of the Church Age saints, living and dead, at the appearing of the Lord (the Rapture) is thus the general harvest stage of the resurrection of the righteous (John 14:1-3 and 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).

But there is a third and final stage to this resurrection of the righteous. It is the gleanings, and it occurs at the end of the Tribulation when the Lord's Second Coming takes place. At that time two final groups of the righteous will be resurrected: 1) the Tribulation martyrs (Revelation 20:4), and 2) the Old Testament saints (Dan 12:2).

Some people are startled by the thought that the Old Testament saints will not be resurrected until the end of the Tribulation. But keep in mind that the Rapture is a promise to the Church, and the Church only. Also, the book of Daniel makes it clear that the Old Testament saints will be resurrected at the end of the "time of distress" (Daniel 12:1-2).

So the first resurrection, the resurrection of the righteous, occurs in three stages, beginning with Christ, continuing with the Church at the Rapture, and culminating with the Tribulation martyrs and the Old Testament saints at the return of Jesus.

The Resurrection of the Unjust
The second type of resurrection, "the resurrection of the wicked" (Acts 24:15), will take place all at one time at the end of the millennial reign of Jesus. This is at the time of the Great White Throne Judgment, the judgment of the damned (Revelation 20:11-15).

Every person who ever failed to relate to God in faith will be resurrected at this time, regardless of when he or she may have lived and died — whether before or after the Cross. This resurrection will also include the unjust who died during the Tribulation and the Millennium.

There will be no need for an additional resurrection of the righteous at the end of the Millennium, because all those born during that time who accept Jesus as their Savior will live to the end of the Lord's reign (Isaiah 65:19-20). "'As the lifetime of a tree, so shall be the days of My people,'. . . says the Lord" (Isaiah 65:22,25). In other words, life spans during the Millennium will be returned to what they were at the beginning of time, before the flood.

The Certainty of Judgment
Resurrection will be followed by judgment. Solomon wrote, "Fear God and keep His commandments . . . For God will bring every act to judgment, everything which is hidden, whether it is good or evil" (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14).

The apostle Paul emphasized the certainty of judgment. In Romans 2:16 he wrote, "God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus." And in Romans 14:10,12 he stated, "We shall all stand before the judgment seat of God . . . So then each one of us shall give account of himself to God." The writer to the Hebrews summed it up succinctly: "It is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment" (Hebrews 9:27).

The Completed Judgment
But not all people are going to be judged at the same time. Just as there are going to be several resurrections, there are also going to be several judgments.

One judgment has already taken place. It is the judgment of believers for their sins.

This comes as a surprise to most Christians. Some find it hard to believe. I'll never forget when I realized it from my study of Scripture. I became filled with so much joy that I felt like jumping pews all day!

Let me put it to you in another way. If you are truly born again, then you will never stand before the Lord and be judged of your sins. That's because the judgment for your sins took place at the Cross.

You see, all your sins, and mine, were placed upon Jesus as He hung upon the Cross, and the wrath we deserve was poured out upon Him (2 Corinthians 5:21). He became our substitute. He took our judgment for sin (Romans 8:3 and Galatians 3:13).

If you have appropriated the blood of Jesus to your life by accepting Him as your Lord and Savior, then your sins have been forgiven. They have also been forgotten in the sense that God will never remember them against you again (Isaiah 43:25 and Hebrews 8:12).

Think of it — forgiven and forgotten! That is grace!

The Judgment of the Just
If the Redeemed will never be judged of their sins, then what will they be judged of, and when will the judgment take place?

The Bible teaches that the Redeemed will be judged of their works, not to determine their eternal destiny, but to determine their degrees of reward.

Christians do not work to be saved; they work because they are saved. In fact, the Bible says they are saved to do good works (Ephesians 2:10 and Titus 2:14). Such good works, if properly done, will be done in the power of the Holy Spirit (1 Peter 4:11) and for the glory of God (1 Corinthians 10:31).

The Significance of Spiritual Gifts
Paul says in 1 Corinthians 12 that every person who is born again receives at least one supernatural spiritual gift from the Holy Spirit. A person may receive more than one gift. And, if you are a good steward of the gifts you receive, then you may receive additional gifts as you develop spiritually (Luke 19:26).

God expects us to use our spiritual gifts to advance His kingdom. This is what the judgment of works will be all about. Each of us who are redeemed will stand before the Lord Jesus and give an accounting of how we used our gifts to advance the kingdom of God on earth.

We will be judged as to the quantity of our works (Luke 19:11-27; Romans 2:6-7). We will be judged as to the quality of our works (1 Corinthians 3:10-14). Finally, we will be judged as to the motivation of our works ( 1 Corinthians 4:5).

I can imagine some famous evangelist being brought before the Lord for judgment.

"How did you use your spiritual gifts to advance my kingdom?" asks the Lord.

"I used my gifts as a teacher and evangelist to preach the gospel to millions," replies the preacher.

"Yes," says the Lord, "you certainly did that. But, I know your heart, and thus I know your motivation. You preached not because you loved Me but because you wanted to become famous. You wanted to have your picture published on the cover of Time magazine. You accomplished that in February of 1953. Here's your picture. That's all the reward I have for you!"

And then I can imagine the Lord calling up a little old lady that no one has ever heard of.

"Dear, on the day you accepted Me as your Lord and Savior, I gave you one gift — the gift of mercy. And every time someone was ill, you were the first to offer comfort and encouragement. You were the one who organized the prayer chain. Every time someone went to the hospital, you were the first to visit them. Every time someone died, you were the one who organized the meals. And you did all of these things simply because you loved me."

The Lord will give her a crown full of so many jewels that she will have a neck ache for eternity!

Seriously, there will be degrees of rewards. They will be manifested in the crowns we receive (2 Timothy 4:7-8), the robes we wear (Revelation 19:8), and the degrees of ruling authority which we exercise with the Lord (Luke 19:11-27).

The Timing of the Judgments
When and where will the judgment of the Redeemed take place? The Bible indicates the judgment of believers who have lived and died during the Church Age will occur in Heaven before the judgment seat of Jesus, immediately following the Rapture of the Church (2 Corinthians 5:10 and Revelation 19:6-9).

Those who are saved and martyred during the Tribulation will be judged at the end of that period when they are resurrected at the Second Coming of Christ (Revelation 20:4). The Tribulation saints who live to the end of that terrible period are another group that will be judged at the Second Coming of Jesus in "the sheep and goat judgment" portrayed in Matthew 25:31-46. The Old Testament saints will also be judged at the time of the Second Coming (Ezekiel 20:34-38).

All the unrighteous who have ever lived will be resurrected and judged at the end of the millennial reign of Jesus.

The Judgment of the Unjust
The terrible judgment of the unrighteous is pictured in Revelation 20:11-15. It is called the "Great White Throne" judgment.

We are told that the wicked also will be judged of their works. But their judgment will be radically different from the judgment of the Redeemed. Whereas the Redeemed are judged of their works to determine their degrees of reward, the lost are judged of their works to determine their eternal destiny.

And since no one can be justified before God by their works (Isaiah 64:6 and Ephesians 2:8-10), all will be condemned to Hell. That's why I call this judgment "the judgment of the damned."

The unjust are also judged for another reason. There are going to be degrees of punishment (Luke 12:35-48; 20:45-47).

There is a popular myth in Christendom that says, "All sin is equal in the eyes of God." That is not true. The only way in which all sin is equal is that any sin, whether a white lie or murder, condemns us before God and necessitates a Savior.

But all sin is not equal in the eyes of God. For example, Proverbs 6:16-19 lists seven sins that the Lord particularly hates, including "hands that shed innocent blood." And the Bible makes it very clear that idolatry is a sin that is especially heinous in the eyes of God (Exodus 20:3-5).

Because God considers some sins worse than others, there will be degrees of punishment (Revelation 22:12), and these degrees will be specified at the Great White Throne judgment.

A Call to Repentance
Where do you stand with respect to the inevitable judgment which you will face before the Lord?

If you are a Christian, do you know what spiritual gifts you have been given? Are you using them to advance the Lord's kingdom? Is your motivation a love of the Lord?

If you have never confessed Jesus as your Lord and Savior, do you really want to participate in the judgment of the damned? Do you realize that the Bible says, "Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord"? That means Hitler and every vile person like him who has ever lived will one day make the confession of Jesus' lordship. You will too.

I urge you to make that confession now so that you can participate in the resurrection and judgment of the righteous. As you consider your decision, weigh carefully the following words from the book of Hebrews:

"Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, shall appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him" — Hebrews 9:28

Notice carefully that this verse promises that for those who are ready for Him, Jesus will come "without reference to sin." That is a wonderful promise.

R - J

I would say that your service to the Lord work is commendable....uh, see you soon in heven shortly.........................................benny

Its just a scam, anyone with a computer can leave note to there loved ones. Anyone with a piece of paper can that knows how to wright can leave a letter. How about we give are life savings up right
now so are animals can be fed by someone thats left behind?


Christians need to watch out for people trying to proft off of our "christianity". God tells us to be sly as foxes and to watch out for scams like this. Its the same as sowing your financial seed of $1000 and getting a $10,000 a year increase from the lord. Or sending for $100 seed and receiving a gift hand crafted trumpet from Israel as there pledge to you.
