Why have millions of people vanished? Jesus has returned and taken all his believers to heaven. This event (the rapture) was prophesied (foretold) in the Bible almost 2,000 years ago. For additional information, go to End-Time Events (Millions Vanish – Rapture of Christians). Jesus is coming again in a few years to rescue new believers, to judge the wicked and to rule his earthly kingdom. We pray that you will be one of those new believers. Go to How Can I Be Saved? to find out how to become a believer in Jesus.
Now that you were left behind, difficult and challenging times are ahead. Billions will die during the Great Tribulation (seven years long), and unfortunately you could be one of them. People will be scared and confused and searching for answers. You will hear all kinds of theories about what may have happened to the millions who disappeared. They might say that God judged the “intolerant” Christians or aliens took us away, but the Bible reveals the truth.
“According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage one another with these words.” (1 Thessalonians 4:15-18)
You must turn to the Lord to overcome your fear and anxiety and to receive the peace and comfort that only he can give. “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” (Philippians 4:6-8)
This is not a time to shrink back in fear, to cower and hide. You must call upon the Lord for the strength and courage and peace that only he can provide. You must rise above your circumstances, pushing aside your fears, anxiety and doubt. Jesus Christ has already secured the victory for you almost 2,000 years ago when he suffered and died on the cross and took upon himself the sins of the world. His resurrection from the dead was proof that he conquered sin, death and the devil. They no longer have power over you. If for some reason you do not survive the Tribulation, you will immediately be in the presence of the Lord, provided you have trusted Jesus Christ as your Savior. There are only seven years remaining (after the Israel-antichrist peace treaty) to “make disciples of all nations” before Jesus returns as “KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS” to rescue his people, to judge the wicked and to rule his earthly kingdom. Make every moment count for the honor and glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. There are more than six billion people that need to hear about Jesus, so get going. Remember, we already know how this epic end-time story ends – Jesus wins!
God is going to work in mighty and powerful ways in these last days and we pray that you will play a part in this end-time evangelism explosion and the greatest revival in human history. We want you to know that you are not alone. Jesus said, “…and surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:20) You can be sure that you are in our prayers. “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.” (Ephesians 6:10)
Get saved (guaranteed forgiveness of sins and eternal life) – see How Can I Be Saved? and I’m Saved...What Now?
“If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9)

(Romans 8:26; Ephesians 6:18; Hebrews 4:14-16; 2 Chronicles 7:14; Philippians 4:6-8; Matthew 6:5-13, 15:36; Mark 1:35; Luke 5:16, 11:1-13)
Read the Bible and memorize God’s Word as much as possible. If you don’t have a Bible or can’t find one, print parts of the Bible from the internet. If you are really pressed for time, start by reading Luke (birth, life, death and resurrection of Jesus), Acts (the beginning of the church and persecution of believers), Romans (salvation by faith), Genesis (how it all began), Revelation (how it all ends) and Psalms (provides comfort and strength). If you are not pressed for time, read the above books of the Bible and then go back and read the rest of the New Testament from the beginning and then the rest of the Old Testament. There is no substitute for the Word of God. As a believer, the Holy Spirit will help you to understand what you are reading, how you can apply Scripture to your life and discern what God wants you to do. (Deuteronomy 6:4-8, 17:19; John 8:31-32; Isaiah 55:11; 1 Peter 3:15)

“Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers.” (Psalm 1:1-3)
“Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.” (Colossians 3:16)
Find other believers so you can pray, worship, grow, serve and fellowship together. Find a home church or start a home church and be baptized as a public display of your faith. All the Biblically sound churches will be empty (or close to it) and persecution against Christians may prevent you from meeting in a church building. Your home church will help equip you to be effective for the Lord.
“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” (Hebrews 10:25)
“So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.” (Ephesians 4:11-13)
“Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day. They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.” (Act 2:41-42)

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20)

Warning! Do not receive the mark of the beast! “A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: ‘If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives its mark on their forehead or on their hand, they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. They will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.’” (Revelation 14:9-11). “The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land, and ugly, festering sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.” (Revelation 16:2). (Revelation 13:7, 19:20, 20:4)
