Isn’t the correct order (from oldest to newest publication date): Old Testament, Parts of the Apocrypha, New Testament and other parts of the Apocrypha, Book of Mormon, and then Left Behind?

No, I know – the order is: the Old Testament, the Apocrypha, the New Testament, **the Koran** , the Book of Mormon, _Davey and Goliath_, and _Left Behind_.  
And what makes the PAXson network a particularly “family” oriented channel? Since when does religious programming equate with family programming?

I suspect you’re asking this as a semi-rhetorical question, but still, some things are best not considered too deeply, for madness that way lies.

There will be LOTS of bitter people on the Left Behind Message Boards after the Rapture. 😃

“Uh…er…God chose me to witness to the unbelievers. Yeah, that’s it.”

And, hey, looky here! The guy who created the _Left Behind_ TV show’s fan club has a **Post-Rapture Survival Guide**! [http://www.raptureready.com/rap34.html](http://www.raptureready.com/rap34.html)

> **Shortly after the rapture, God will call His army of 144,000 Jewish believers into service to provide a voice of hope for Jews throughout the world. The best friends and most staunch supporters of Jews have always been true believing Christians. It was this element of the world’s population that provided help and support for Israel and Jewish people. The rapture removed the Christian people from the earth and awakened the 144,000 to their purpose. These 144,000 preach to Jews worldwide that Jesus is the Messiah. These 144,000 will be spread out worldwide and more than likely go about in pairs, two by two, as Jesus instructed His disciples to do. It will be these 144,000 who will oppose Israel signing a peace treaty for protection; it will be the 144,000 who will identify the anti-christ for who he is; it will be the 144,000 who will warn Israel of the treachery of the anti-christ, and it will be the 144,000 who will lead the Jews worldwide to the hiding place prepared for them by God in the Judean desert. These 144,000 Jews are going to be strange people by normal standards: they will be celibate, very bold, fearless, spiritually strong and probably very much like John the Baptist.**

Here’s two things I don’t understand. First of all, I’m only half Jewish by decent. Am I still allowed to join this gang of 144,000? Secondly, why did he give away our hiding place? Now all that the Antichrist has to do is look at his web page and he’ll know that we’re in the Judean desert. Idiot! He’s going to ruin everything.

They’re celibate? All the Auntie Christ has to do is wait just a few more years until they die out…🙂
