Note: RMS Carpathia. Carpathia. Where have I heard that word before? Oh, yes, that's the name of the Antichrist in Tim Lahaye and Jerry Jenkin's Left Behind Series. While I don't believe that the Bible teaches a pretribulation rapture (as is put forth by this series, I do believe that our Lord Jesus is coming back - maybe very soon! And there is a lot of stuff in the Left Behind series that may well turn out to be "History told in advance."

For that reason, why don't you have a "Left Behind Marathon" tonight? Note: You can skip the new "Left Behind" movie starring Nicholas Cage. Somehow the Gospel got Left Behind when they made that movie!
