Character Profile Day Two:Cameron "Buck" Williams

Cameron Williams,also called "Buck" since he is known to Buck authority,is the youngest Sr. writer for the Global Weekly. Studying at the Ivy Leagues, he always strived to make it big. He went to church as a child,but wouldn't go as far to say that he's a Christian.

In the first set of movies,the character of Buck is changed from a writing journalist to an on air broadcaster. Buck is portrayed by Kirk Cameron and the role was bumped from second most importance to first,changing the way of the book which place Rayford as the main protagonist. In the remake,Williams will be played by Chad Michael Murray.

Character Profile Day one:Rayford Steele

Captain Rayford Steele is the main protagonist in the Left Behind series. Starting out the series as an unsaved pilot,we watch as Ray grows through out the books. He has two children,Ray Jr. and Chloe. His wife,,whom disappears in the Rapture,is named Irene and his second wife's name is Amanda. Ray is one of the original members of the Tribulation Force.

In the first set of Left Behind movies,Ray was played by. Brad strong and his character was lowered from first most importance to second. In the remakes,Steele will be played by Nicholas Cage.

The Abomination of Desecration

For those of you who have read the series fully, you will know that in book 9, Nicolae desacrates the temple by taking a pig into it.Well I will give you the scripture that backs that up.

Daniel 9:27 says "Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week;
But in the middle of the week
He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering.
And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate,
Even until the consummation, which is determined,
Is poured out on the desolate.”

When is talks about the middle of the week and the sacrifice, it is talking about half way into the Tribulation, and the sacrifice is made in the temple and will desracrate it. The sacrifice will most likly be a pig, since it was an unclean aminal.

1 Year Anniversary

Hey guys,  tomorrow is this blog's one year anniversary! How cool is that. The past year has been so amazing and I am looking forward to many more. To celebrate I am reposting the most popular post from the blog. Here, from April 1, 2013 is A Remake Update:

Remake update

Daniel Craig has been announced for the part of Nicolae Carpathia in the movie remake.

It's NOT God's fault

Hey  guys. This post is a bit different, but much needed. I saw a comment on YouTube saying that it's Gods fault there is sin in the world. Let me just say, that is NOT true! In no way, shape or form Is it God's fault there is sin in world.

Many arguments are made saying that it's Gods fault there is sin in the world because he knows everything and created everything. But that means He knew we were going to sin, not that He chose that for us. When God created us, He gave us the power of choice. We got to make descions in our lives and not just be aimless robots with everything programmed into us. God wanted us to choose to love Him and to choose to obey HIm and not just have it be programmed into us as if we were drones.

Since God gave us the freedom of choice, we could then choose to sin. Humans got greedy, we wanted to control everything and we thought we knew what was right. When Adam and Eve sinned, sin entered the world. Why? Because a human sinned! It's our fault. The Bible says that ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God! Everyone is a sinner.

What exactly is sin, you might ask. The dictionary says It's " a transgression of divine law".Basically, it's anything we do that goes against what God has told us to do. Sin can range from disobeying your parents or lieing to murdering or adultery. The punishment for sin is death. And not just earthly death, but spiritual death. We deserve to go to Hell. God is Holy and can not have sin. But God loved us so much that he sent his Son to die in our place so that we could live. Jesus Christ, the perfect Son of God, died on that cross so you could live! But the best part is, He rose from the dead three days later, conquering death!

Does that make you feel something? Think about it this way. Before Jesus died, we were God's enemies. But He sent His Son to die for for His enemies so they could live. That would be like an American giving up their life so a terrorist could live.

So, what do you do with this info? God wants you to be a part of His family and to have a relationship with you. He has given you the FREE gift of salvation and all you have to do is take it. You can be saved from death and an eternity away from God. If you believe that you are a sinner and that Jesus Christ came to earth, died in your place and rose again from the grave three days later you can be saved! Pray to God, ask for forgiveness for your sins, and ask Him to save you. He hears prayers and He'll hear yours.

For more information on the sacrifice God made for you and how to get saved, go to the Don't Get Left Behind page on this blog or email me at leftbehindthekids.me@gmail.com and make the subject either Tribulation or Rebel.

Rayford Steele

Here's an article I wrote about Rayford for a different site.

Rayford Steele airline pilot is married to Irene Steele, whom he met in college while they were both doing ROTC. They married when he was a senior and she was a sophomore. They soon had their first child, Chloe, and eight years later, they had Rayford Jr. or Raymie. Irene had first started to go to church after a death in the family, but switched to New Hope Village Church, and soon got saved, along with Raymie. Rayford and Chloe resisted, and made fun of them. Rayford hated this so much that he often thought of having an affair with his flight attendant, the beautiful Hattie Durham. One night, he decided it would be his night, the night he finally made a move towards a relationship. That was the night everything changed..... Many of the passengers and even some staff disappeared. He turned that plane around, and headed back home, only to find his wife and son gone, although he did get news that Chloe was still alive.

Bruce Barnes

Hey guys. Here is a previous article I wrote for another site about Bruce.


Bruce Barnes, assistant pastor at New Hope Village Church, in Mount Prospect, looked at it all as a story. It was more like head-knowledge to him. He never acted on the truth he told others. His wife, and three children, ages of 5, 3, and 1, didn`t know the wiser. One night he was up to late reading, his wife asking him to turn off the light, when everything and everyone he knew disappeared.... all of his family and most of the church was gone. He immediately repented, and became a real Christian.

The kids series

Jerry Jenkins and Tim Lahaye, the well known authors for the Left Behind series have also written an end times fiction for teens. Left Behind the Kids revolves around a new group of believers, The Young Tribulation Force. At the core of this group are its four original members: Judd, Vicki, Lionel, and Ryan. The adults make occasional appearances in riveting series, containing forty books.

When asked about the kids series, Jenkins once said, "The idea for a kids' seriesseries based on Left Behind really came from the publisher, and at first blush it seemed to make sense. I'd written a lot of kids' fiction in the past. The idea was to not just dumb down the product so it would be easier to read,  but to actually start with new main characters and have them be in the age group of the readers.  So we start with 4 kids from 12 to 16. And over the period of 7 years of the Tribulation, they age by that much, of course, so it's an interesting dynamic to watch these kids grow up. They become believers early in the story, and then they have their own adventures and exciting times fighting the Antichrist while trying to keep from being exposed as believers."

Fun facts

Jerry Jenkins  said that if he was not a writer, he would have been involved with the sports world.

Ashley Tisdale

Hey guys. I know that a lot of people are not super happy that Ashley Tisdale was cast for the part of Chloe Steele.  Here are some ways she is and isn't like Chloe.

• One of the biggest reasons people are upset is because they say that Chloe is a brunettes and since Ashley is a blonde, it was not going to work. But in the books, Chloe is indeed a blonde. In the first set of movies, Chloe, played by Janaya Stephens, was a brunette. 
• One very small difference that really won't matter, but I thought you might like to know is that they have different eye colors. Ashley has Brown eyes, while Chloe had green. Also, in the books Chloe is 5'7", and Tisdale is reported to be only 5'3" ( said in 2006)

So, what do you guys think of Ashley Tisdale playing Chloe? Personally, I think it will be interesting to see what she has to bring to the table. She is most widely known for her part in High School Musical , as Sharpay  Evens.  She is a talented and well known actress, and might just add something interesting to the movie. What do you think?

Love,
