Scarlet sat and watched the scenes unfold before her she was beginning to get that nervous feeling in the pit of her stomache, in was 8:15 pm and this train just hit 14th street and she still had too many stops to go.
She heard the conductor make an announcement....there will be a 15 minute delay, there seems to be something going on in the city and we are on a standby, the light is red in the tunnel.
Everyone around her began to moan above the sound of loud music and the man on the floor kept speaking loudly in a strange language.
She tried to listen and it stirred something within her but she put her ipod on and shut out the noise something in her would not let his words penetrate her mind.


Enrique looked at the skinny girl dancing and partying with the other cute girl...he signaled his friend as they both went over. "Looks like we will have to start celebrating here ladies, I'm Rico and you are?" He took both girls hands in his and kissed both hands one at a time.
He glanced at the older woman and winked and blew her a kiss as well.


Amos felt his body rising slowly from the floor as if a force was raising him from his knees and telling him to rise.
He did and the tongues grew richer in the sound that resonated from within him as if the voice was no longer his, it was a booming sound growing within him.
And suddenly the words came.
"Prepare ye the way of the Lord, Prepare ye the way of the Lord."
The sound of his voice was so loud that the girls stopped dancing and stared as if they had been struck.
The music on the radio station stopped as an announcer said, "This just in a strange story is making record breaking news, bodies of deceased individuals have disappeared all over the world. One funeral home director said the body vanished right before his eyes."
Amos looked around the train for he heard the announcement in his soul and knew what was about to take place. He noticed others in the train but some of them had a strange glow above them and he saw those individuals in a different light and they all acknoledged each other silently.
They knew, all of those with that strange glow above them knew that at any minute...................................

[Pearls ... Feeling Holy Spirit tingles for real here! WOW]

Rachel, was in awe! Jesus! My Love, My Dove, My Bridegroom, My sweet Perfect one, You are He! Oh!...

J-E-S-U-S!!!

Scarlet pulled her ipod out of her ears and looked around her as she heard some people on the train praying aloud, like a hummmmmm of an engine their prayers were in sync. For the first time she noticed a group of people who all held Bibles in their hands they had sat quietly but now she noticed them and they were standing and praying a sound that radiated within ....and it caused her to tremble, she wanted to run from the train.
She reached for her Buddha beads she still carried them, she was about to chant but the hummmm of the prayers started to frenzy and the beads flew out of her hands as if ripped from her very clutch.
She looked at the boy who called himself Rico and she saw that his eyes too were wide, with fear, she saw the girls had stopped dancing and they too looked frightened, but the one girl with the one dancing the friend who had been quiet and almost shy she was now standing and praying aloud with the others as if in a frenzy a passion. She turned and noticed Esther the woman who had been so quiet and scared of her husband she too was standing and praying like in a trance, no fear no longer a victim but looking like......a conqueror, and she saw the womans husband cowering in a corner, like a caged animal looking for an escape.
Scarlets heart began to race what was happening.....she wanted to fall on the floor, bend to her knees and ask God to save her help her she was terrified, but there was no God, she learned that years ago, when all her abuse began, her father's abuse.
She wanted to scream you never helped me....but she couldn't move....where could she go what should she do....a voice was beckoning her, as if it was saying come to me, you can trust me but another voice, deeper and darker said in her mind....there is no God.
She wanted to scream, she opened her mouth.........but nothing came out...as if she had been struck dumb.
She looked around once more and saw a strange glow in the train car and she realized this was not her imagination because she saw others looking on as she was some in terror others those who had been praying they looked as if they too were aglow.

Anna joined with the other believers that were going to the Christian Worship Service, as well as Rachel, to join together holding their bibles into the air and praying in unison...in tongues like the old man did...

But, Issac, like Scarlet and so many others, in disbelief and shock...

 

[PearlsofWisdom]

Christians sang together in one accord, as if in worship service in church...

“Love....ooooohhhh, how sweet, so heavenly, so lovely, so perfect, oh, come Holy Spirit Come, shower us with your love...
Lovely, Lovely, oh Holy One
Beautiful, Beautiful on Your Throne
We worship You
Please, Let us,
Up to the skies
To be with You!
Forevermore...eternity
With You we please.
Please come O Holy Spirit, Come...
Come near-er still”

 

[martinique]

Christina didn't know what was happening, but she was sure it was some kind of trick. The train was aglow.... no..... people INSIDE were glowing, and they were all speaking in unison.. Where were the cameras hidden? How had they made people glow like this? Christina looked over to Marie, to see how she was reacting to this probable prank. How did they buy off Marie?????? She too, seemed to have gotten the 'script', as she was voicing in unison with several of the passengers. What the heck was going on? Christina was just about to shake Marie out of this 'trance' when she realized she was holding Rico's hand. At least she thought that is the name he gave her when he kissed her hand. Then, that freaky man started to get up, people all started speaking all together, and that 'glow' began to get brighter. She must have grabbed his hand in surprise. Christina moved closer to him. Maybe he was the lead actor in this 'show' - he certainly was cute enough.

 

[HesMyAll]

Esther appreciated the fact that others wanted to help her but she knew that if she left it would be so much worse for her. She had never worked outside the home and had no skills. How would she get a job at her age?

Suddenly it didn't seem to matter any more. Hearing the man who was calling for repentance stirred the Holy Spirit within her. She began praising God in a loud voice. "Jesus, my precious Jesus! How wonderful you are! Praise your precious name! I love you Lord! I worship you precious Jesus."

The very air seemed to be charged with electricity! There was an excitement that was so amazingly strong it was beyond description. She glanced at Roy and saw him glowering at her. Instead of shrinking back in fear, she knelt at his side. "Please Roy, don't keep rejecting Jesus, He loves you and wants to save you. Won't you please give Him your heart? Can't you feel the change in the air? Don't you want to go to Heaven?" By now tears were streaming down her face. Angry beyond control now Roy raised his hand to strike his wife......

The old man, who called for repentance and said Our Lord is near, saw Roy about to strike his wife, his voice resonated like thunder, and shouted to him,

"Do not harm her!"

 

[Abigayle's Legacy]

Enrique could not believe what was happening around him he grabbed at his cross the one his grandmother had given him and touched it desperately, Grandma where are you when I need to talk to you.
He would not call out to God his heart hardened to God long ago when his grandmother died. She was all he had at age 9 and when she died, a piece of him died to.
His grandmother told him of all Gods goodness but when she had been taken from him at such young age and he put into foster homes all her teachings were lost. He was lucky his good looks and sweet personality usually saved him, until that one day when a foster dad decided to show him what life was really about. He touched his face a tiny scar still showed ever so slightly to remind him of the beating this man gave him, this drunken lunatic, and the other scars it left that never showed on the outside just remained forever in his heart.
He noticed the girl next to him was holding his hand tightly, he squeezed hers back because he felt strange and frightened with the scene unfolding before him, he grabbed her and pulled her toward him and held her, as if he were calming and protecting her, it was really himself who needed comfort at that very moment.
He heard that woman whose husband threatened to hit her, she was kneeling near her husband and Enrique saw his hand raise to strike her. His anger raged and Rico went to go protect the woman but he stopped dead in his tracks as he heard a voice that boomed. "Do not harm her."
It was the crazy old man again, Rico's pent up anger could no longer be controlled he wanted to pummel the drunken man but instead he turned his anger on the old man who shouted the command.
He darted for the old man and grabbed him by his collar and held him up agains the train doors.

 

[Abigayle's Legacy]

Amos felt the young man grab him by his collar and slam him against the train doors. The boy looked frightened yet rage over took him instead. Amos understood and spoke. "You have no need to fear me it is God who calls to you, open your heart and repent." Rico gritted his teeth, "Fear you, I don't fear you, you crazy old man I want you to shut up about this God stuff, there is no God."
Amos's eyes grew wide and tears brimmed them, "Dear child of God, Jesus died for you, He loves you, please accept him now and repent of your sins, there is no sin too large that his precious blood cannot cover."
Rico felt the old mans eyes pierce into his soul unlocking the shame of his childhood. That day his foster dad hurt him and humiliated him and........it was to great to bear, Rico reached into his pocket and took out his knife, he no longer saw Amos he saw his stepdad before him and wanted his vengeance now.
Amos spoke "The hour of God is at hand repent now and be saved."
Rico raised his hand with the knife above his head and plunged down towards the old man, he did not hear the screams around him he did hear the commotion that was happening behind him he sought blood and vengence and ......his knife came down quickly, but it seemed as if the scene unfolded in slow motion for as he had one of his hands against Amos's throat and the other with the knife coming towards Amos as his knife went into Amos's body, he suddenly saw the train door before him and the knife hit the metal doors causing Rico to fall backwards from the impact. Enrique blinked several times, what had happened had the man gotten away from his grip.
He looked around frantically where was he, he looked at the door and beneath it were a pile of clothes. he grabbed at the clothes but nothing was there except a set of dentures and a gold chain with a cross on it.
He blinked again, what was this guy a magician, but as he turned around he saw people screaming and crying... and more than that he saw atleast 15 people missing vanished just clothes lying where bodies once were.
His grandmothers words echoed in his ears "Oh, my little Rico it will be a mighty day when the Lord Jesus comes back...it will happen in a twinkling of an eye." Rico's heart pounded in his ears a deafening sound. "NO" he screamed. "NO" He buried his head hands, he knew ..............

 

[Abigayle's Legacy]

Amos saw the rage in this young mans eyes he saw the knife plunging towards his heart and then he heard it....the trumpet signaling him to leave, the thunderous voice of His Savior Jesus who came at last.
"AMOS MY CHILD RISE, COME HOME."
It was a glorious sound like music to his ears he felt his body lift and and begin to rise through the air, he saw the others the ones on the train who bore the mark of the Lamb on there foreheads, they smiled in acknowledgment as their bodies lifted higher and higher and then they saw HIM their mighty King, in the clouds Majestic and Glorious. The saints voices rose in Praise, "Worthy is the Lamb of God. Praise and Glory to the Lamb of God."
Choirs of Heavenly voices singing praises, souls everywhere rising in the skies lifting their voices in praise."
Amos felt no sadness, no pain, just the warmth of His Fathers love burning in his heart and peace and joy and an energy like he had never known in his life...but he knew at that moment as he had read it had all been a dress rehearsal for the real show, that at that moment his life had only just begun.

 

[HesMyAll]

Roy was beyond angry, he was really gonna give it to Esther good when he got her home. It was bad enough to have to listen to her mouth but then to have someone else...a total stranger, tell you not to deal with your wife as you saw fit; well that did it! She had better hope the train crashed before getting home. Through his anger he sensed that something had changed. Hey, where in the world was she? And why was she runnin around naked? Her clothes were laying there on the floor. Had she lost her mind? He raised his head and glanced around the car. She wasn't the only one who didn't have any clothes on. Here and there were scattered piles of clothing.
The alcohol was beginning to clear from his mind as a horrible realization set in. Could it be that what she had been telling him all these years had come to pass? Could it be that Jesus really had come and taken her away? If that were so, he really was lost. He had had his chance and refused to take it. She had just been pleading with him to accept Jesus and even though he had felt conviction flood his soul, he had stubbornly refused to give in, and not it was too late.
NO, NO, NO he screamed!

 

[Abigayle's Legacy]

Scarlet, watched as the young boy grabbed the old man and plunged the knife into him, but as she looked closer she saw his hand hit the train door.
She stood up on impulse, her body started trembling.
Where did the man go, his clothes lay in a pile on the floor. She looked for Esther she too had vanished. She took out her water and looked at it. She had not taken any pills she smelled the water, had she been spiked with drugs. But as she stood there a cold reality started to seep in, she knew it in her heart, she had heard about it the "Rapture" the Jesus freaks had told her about. But at this moment she wondered if they were really freaks or if she was losing her mind.
All around her everyone was screaming and crying and people were missing and piles of clothes were everywhere. Scarlet fell to the floor in a heap and began screaming and crying. She knew as she cried aloud "Oh God help us we have been Left Behind."

Spike, the skinny girl, was in shock. She just heard someone say we are left behind? What did that mean? Left Behind what? She thought.
While lighting up another cigarette, she said loudly, “What just happened here?” Something very unusual just occurred, and she simply could not comprehend it...glowing people, people without clothes, rising up high...Thinking to herself, Where did the people go? And why are clothes laying in the car with no one to wear? Cool, guess I will just grab a few of the ones that fit, and put into my backback! Might come in hand-y! Alright, there’s some jewelry, wow, a ring...all this loot...gonna snatch that up, might be used in a trade...

 

[PearlsofWisdom]

Issac was angry, sitting with head down rubbing his full beard, he wondered where Rachel, lovely Rachel went...now they would not get married. All he could think about was her, that she was gone...her remaining clothes layed by his side, with her bible and engagement ring.
Someone said we are “left behind”, he muttered.Things would never be the same again.

 

[martinique]

It seemed Christina just blinked and her whole world was completely different. Rico let go of her and rushed after the old preacher, and the next thing she knew people were gone. She screamed as Rico's knife flew forward, a d screamed again as she saw the preacher's clothes fall to the floor. This couldn't be a trick! Christina turned to grab Marie - she was always the calm one, but Marie was gone! "Marie!! Marie!!" She called but to no avail, no answer. Something glittering caught her eye, so she bent down to inspect it. Marie's bracelet! On the floor was Marie's favorite bracelet, just laying there. Marie was never without it; she even wore it swimming! Christina picked it up and cradled it to her chest. Her best friend, her rock, was gone.... what would she ever do without her?

 

[Abigayle's Legacy]

Pastor Sandford, sat on the train bench cradling his head in his hands.
"What have I done, what have I done."
He knew what had just happened, he preached about it for 20 years. He spoke in his sermons of fire and brimstone, the day of reckoning when the Lord would return. But when his wife died 15 years ago, he closed his heart off from God forever. He talked the talk but no longer had walked the walk. He told himself he could get in thru the backdoor.
He had given his life to God to marry Marie. He always told her he had a good relationship with God and Marie would just hug and love him and support him, but every might before they went to sleep she would say, "Derrick did you give your heart to God today." It was as if she knew he had only feigned being saved to have her by his side. He gave good sermons but his parish was small and the pews never seemed to fill, he knew it was the spirit he was lacking, he had held his life and heart back from God all those years. Saying the sinners prayer but not meaning what he said. God knew and so he took away the only reason Derrick said those words, Marie, and Derrick cursed God for it, but out of spite he stayed on as Pastor of his church, how many others had he led astray. He looked around and saw that all of his parishioners had been taken in the "Rapture" he knew that was what had happened, the 20 of them were on their way to a midnight service in uptown Manhattan and out of the 20 he was all that remained. He hung his head in shame and cried. "Dear Lord, Oh Heavenly Father please have mercy on me, I am a sinner, I am not worthy but you oh God are worthy, I know what lies before me now but I ask you to put your Holy Spirit within me now and let me lead those who feel all hope is lost to the Mighty Kingdom of Heaven. Annoint this servant once and for all and let me be a friend of God. I accept Jesus into my life come Holy Spirit come."
Derrick fell to his knees with tears rolling down his cheeks and felt the fear in his heart dissippate and the peace and joy of the Holy Spirit upon him. For the first time in his life he began to pray in tongues.
A still small voice whispered Gods message in his ear. "My child I have heard your cries and answered, now go forth there is much work to do, their are more souls to save, yes, you all will die martyrs deaths but know I will be there waiting for you all on the other side....now go and speak the words that I your King commands you to speak....John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life."

 

[HesMyAll]

Tini sat there stunned. People had just disappeared into thin air. She must be losing her mind, yes that was it she was insane! That would certainly explain everything. But if that were the case, then a lot of people had just suddenly lost their minds. It seemed as if everyone else was sharing in her hallucination. She was not the only one to notice that quite a few of her fellow passengers were not longer there. They were just...gone.
Suddenly she felt a wave of nausea engulf her. She ran to the back of the train and began vomiting.

 

[PearlsofWisdom]

Issac wept. His name that means, “He laughed,” was not laughing now, but completely opposite, he wept. His placed a prayer shawl, a tallit over his head, then brought the strings on the corner of this garment, the tzitzit, with his left hand, to his lips and kissed. Closing his eyes, and shutting off all that was happening in the car around him, he greatly searched his heart to El Shaddai, his almighty G_d, and prayed the Shema Yisroel. After some time of weeping with bowed head, he realized the stonyness of his heart, he desired it to be made of flesh.

Then his thoughts turned to how Rachel, oh, beloved Rachel, had tried to witness to him about Jesus, as the Messiah, “Yeshua.” But, he wouldn’t listen. He thought of the prophet Isaiah, who said, “Make the heart of this people dull, and their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and return and be healed.” Issac desired for his heart to be healed. He continued to pray and weep. Then, he repented of his sins, at this moment, the heavens opened in his heart, he was set free. He remembered another verse from Isaiah, “Behold, this has touched your lips; your iniquity is taken away, and your sin purged.” Then, he heard the audible voice of the Lord speaking to him.

“Whom shall I send,
And who will go for Us?”

Issac in his heart spoke, "Here am I, Lord! Send me.”
His life was beginning anew...he needed someone to talk to...
