Left Behind	comment	While not quite the first — Salem Kirban's more out-there 666 was published over 20 years earlier — Left Behind is one of the most famous Christian End Times series as far as public recognition goes, at least in America. Written over the course of a decade by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins, Left Behind and its sequels offer a fictionalized version of future history and the dramatic end of the world, as understood by the Premillennial Dispensationalist Christian tradition. 20 Minutes into the Future, millions of Christians suddenly disappear without a trace, as the ancient cosmic war between Good and Evil speeds toward its culmination, and a new regime unlike any other seizes power over the globe. Of those left behind in a world of descending darkness, who will succumb, and who will struggle for the light?The good guys are a rotating group (due to the inherent high mortality rate associated with living in the End Times and fighting the Prince of Darkness) of 4-5 who call themselves the Tribulation Force. The bad guy is Nicolae Carpathia, The Antichrist, the most evil of all Evil Overlords.At first, the Tribulation Force consists of: Rayford Steele, the unofficial leader and a pilot who planned on cheating on his wife (Irene) with a flight attendant (Hattie) because of how his wife's preaching annoyed him; Chloe, Ray's college-age daughter; Cameron "Buck" Williams, an adventurous, street savvy newspaper reporter who eventually marries Chloe; and Bruce, the pastor who brings them all together. Thus united, they launch a crusade to convert the world and protect the converts while waiting through seven years of judgments between the Rapture and the Glorious Appearing of Christ at the end of the world.The completed story sequence includes sixteen novels in all, of which twelve are the main series, chronicling events from the Rapture to the Glorious Appearing. They are followed by a trilogy of prequels (dealing with the birth of the Antichrist and the various signs leading up to the Rapture), as well as the sequel Kingdom Come, which shows the millennial kingdom of Christ on earth and the final battle against Satan and his followers in the far future. (For the individual plot summaries of each of the novels, see the Recap page.) In publishing order, they are:

They may have the language and "light" part right, but, in fact, most Christian scholars can tell you that Lucifer actually came from lucem ferre — Light-Bearer. See here.

Like the burglar who robs Steele's house instead of one of the many abandoned homes where the families where Raptured, and stealing a child's bike (every child on the planet has vanished, remember?). Or The Omniscient Council of Vagueness who stages a faked suicide when killing Buck's insider. This is within two days tops since more than a billion people worldwide vanished without a trace, which suggest a much better way to cover up the murder. Perhaps the most extreme example is Carpathia's plan which consists of fulfilling every step of prophecy wherein he ultimately loses... in the hopes that he will somehow win at the end. Same thing with Satan.

Instead of getting drunk, he is preaching to the patrons inside when Chaim and Buck find him afterward. After Jacov proved to his boss that he wasn't getting drunk, Chaim's response is very deadpan, but hilarious.

This leads to a series of deaths among the Global Community's top brass when they fail utterly to get Tsion and Chaim off the air. Even almost the entire Global Community broadcast crew gets slaughtered in their failure, making Nicolae Carpathia muse that the only person left to run the network is a janitor when the jacked signal is finally cut off. A supernatural version of this occurs in Desecration, when an angelic face appears onscreen to recite Revelation 14:9-13.

However, naturals who remain unbelievers by the time they reach 100 will instantly die and go to Hell. It's not explained how those who were already adults, including those who were already at advanced age, experience this decreased aging at the same rate as the children who enter the Millennium. By the end of the Millennium, however, the longest-living naturals (who at that point are all believers) end up really showing their age.

Left Behind / int_38dade51	comment	But Not Too Evil: The original members of the Tribulation Force are all people who, prior to the Rapture, did not have the proper set of beliefs to be taken up by it, and hence they are left behind, only coming to believe after the event has happened. However, they are all only "sinful" in very minor ways which require little repentance. For example, Buck, despite being a highly successful, go-getting, globe-trotting Intrepid Reporter, remained a virgin until his marriage well into his thirties despite not having any particular reason to remain casually celibate beforehand. Rayford, on the other hand, was married and had a faithful wife but harbored a crush on a coworker, though the only time he tried to act on it was when the Rapture happened.

Left Behind / int_38f3321	comment	Now, on the subject of Carpathia, we're told he's a great speaker, but though his speech at the U.N. does get a lot of applause it is clear to the reader that his speech, which consists of reciting a lot of uninteresting trivia about the U.N. and also reciting a list of every member nation, has nothing to gain people's enthusiasm since it doesn't contain any actual opinion for people to agree with, apart from a general "Peace is good, mkay?" Maybe this is intentional, to really show off his (possibly supernatural) speaking skills — i.e., the script is terrible, but Carpathia speaks it with such intense passion and flair that he can build enthusiasm anyway.

Not even a handwave that The Antichrist is using mind control powers (which it is established early on that he has) to make it happen. These people do these things solely because it's been foretold. The Antichrist as well as The Other Light believe that they're fulfilling prophecy of Satan taking the place of God. Never mind that those same prophecies say that they're destined for failure. Also a bit of Screw Destiny because they sure don't want God, the Jews, or the Christians to win.

There is a throwaway line that retcons that those events were covered in the previous issue (as if they wouldn't still be news a week later). "Ladies and gentlemen, we have an urgent news bulletin! A minor reporter from the Midwest whom you have never heard of and who nobody but his 3 friends really care about is feared dead following a "mysterious car bombing"! In other news, all children in the entire world vanished last night. Experts say it was likely the result of "excess electromagnetism" or some shit, so in other words we have no idea and it could happen again to all of us at any second. In sports news..." The fact that Air Force One is getting a new pilot is big news. Despite the fact that the pilot of Air Force One is, you know, an Air Force pilot and wouldn't be hired off the street.

Jonathan Stonagal, The Chess Master behind the creation of Nicolae Carpathia, also gets this from his own creation when he and Joshua Todd-Cothran were simultaneously murdered by Carpathia during the appointment of the ten regional subpotentates.

In fulfillment of what the Word of God says, the bodies of the Two Witnesses were left in the street unburied for 3 1/2 days while the people celebrated their demise, but then they were dramatically resurrected and brought up to heaven in a cloud. At the same time, an earthquake caused a tenth of Jerusalem to fall and seven thousand people have died.

This leads to the authors getting things very wrong due to a limited understanding of reality. For example, Williams, supposedly "really physically fit", is about ready to pass out after a two-mile walk through the streets of New York - something that the overweight Jenkins probably would find uncomfortable, but many would find a relatively average, if a big lengthy, walk. Although it's worth mentioning that it's more severe with Buck, since Buck is Jenkins' avatar, and Jenkins is the one who does the actual writing.

Left Behind / int_6bda9a30	comment	Meaningful Name: Jenkins has a thing for them. The heroes have super-manly names like Buck Williams and Rayford Steele. How good he is at this lies with the reader... Verna Zee, Buck's theoretically-snippy boss, can be shortened to Ms. Zee — "Missy". Jonathan Stonagal's name ("Stone-a-gal") is a play on Rockefeller. Carpathia's other Dragon aside from Leon Fortunato, Viv Ivins. Remove the "n-s" and you have Viv Ivi, or VI VI VI, the roman numerals for 666. This one is notable in that VI VI VI isn't the Roman-numeralish for 666, it's the Roman-numeralish for "six six six". The Number of the Beast isn't "six six six", it's (per Revelation 13:18) "six hundred sixty six" — which in Roman numerals would be DCLXVI. Thus, a more fitting name might be Declan Xavier. More of a Meaningful Number, but Carpathia's obsession with the number 216 comes from 6 x 6 x 6 = 216. Also in a later book, each of the Ten Kingdoms is assigned a number and while the numbering system is never explained, each number can come from some mathematical combination of three sixes. Nicolae Carpathia is a clear reference to Nicolae Ceausescu, the last Romanian dictator. It also references the Nicolaitans (a heretical sect of Christianity) in the Book of Revelation. When the first book opens, the married Steele is sexually fixated on a woman named "Hattie Durham". As Fred Clark points out,

Left Behind / int_6bfc52a3	comment	A near-miraculous (almost literally in this case) fertilizer is invented by an Israeli scientist, and the exact chemical formula is kept secret as a matter of national security by the Israeli government. It is put to work making vast tracts of Israel into super-productive mega-farms, turning it into a produce export powerhouse. This ignores the fact that a) Israel being able to produce as much food as the state of New Jersey is not going to cause as big a wave in the international market as the authors think, and b) even if it does, such a continuous bumper-crop on the market would likely depress food prices, quickly rendering the return on the investment in such a project minimal, and other nations would likely enact protectionist import policies on Israeli-grown foodstuffs to keep their own farming industries from collapsing and dragging those nations into economic ruin. It also never occurs to anyone to attempt to reverse-engineer the fertilizer. More profitable for the state of Israel would be to produce and export the fertilizer itself, or to allow others to produce it under paid license agreements. However, according to the authors the Book of Revelation says that the desert will bloom, and so go the books.

Left Behind / int_6eb4e408	comment	Artistic License â€“ Military: When Russia and Ethiopia tag-team Israel (despite both being Christian nations who have no reason whatsoever to do so), they launch fighter jets and nukes. In tandem. The Enola Gay, when dropping the Little Boy bomb on Hiroshima, flew at a height of approximately 32,333 feet, more than six miles above sea level, just to stay out of the blast zone, and even at a range of 18 miles from Ground Zero was still hit by the bomb's blast wave; fighter jets as described in the novel do not have that kind of range. Using nukes on the same area that you are also using your air force to bomb means that you would essentially be nuking your own planes. Not to mention that bombing a city at all after you nuke it would be a needlessly redundant waste of resources. LaHaye and Jenkins tell us that Russia used "almost its entire nuclear arsenal" on Israel. Russia has over 4,000 nuclear devices, enough to destroy every country on the planet. Israel is the size of New Jersey. Granted, Israel explicitly needs a literal divine intervention to survive this (and fortunately for them, they also get one), but even so, it's a silly level of overkill as far as the Russian strategists are concerned. Carpathia, upon his ascension to the UN, suggests that all countries on Earth give up all their military materiel and turn over 1/10th of what's left to the UN to serve as a global army. Everyone accepts this. Just ignore the fact that the UN has been pushing limited disarmament for decades with not much success. Also, ever since the UN was founded there has already existed a clause in the UN charter (chapter 7, art. 43) establishing a UN military force... and it's been ignored ever since the UN was founded. At the end of Book 2 and the beginning of Book 3, Nicolae finally does something properly evil by launching World War III. This takes the form of WWII-style bombing raids dropping 100-megaton nuclear bombs on such targets as hospitals and airports, leaving the cities looking like London during The Blitz. The largest human-caused explosion ever was the Tsar Bomba atomic bomb test, which was a "mere" fifty megatons, but which still destroyed small buildings hundreds of kilometers away. Dropping a single 100-megaton nuke (never mind a bombing raid's worth) would reduce the cities to glass craters; targeting individual buildings would be pointless. Also, the bomber problem mentioned above would be orders of magnitude worse.

This comes from Augustine's claim that one's glorified body will be just like one's 33-year-old body was or would have been, barring anything crippling and/or hideous. It derives from Jesus being 33 when he was crucified.

We are told that he spoke "with electricity and power". It should be noted that two-thirds of Carpathia's speech is simply reading out the names of every country in the United Nations, before then proceeding to name all the UN agencies and random facts about them. Instead of actually writing a speech that was genuinely captivating and inspiring, the authors simply resorted to Take Our Word for It.

Speaking of those "potential virtues", the Bible does say that there's a way that seems right to a man, but its end thereof is death.

His two biological fathers, who were living together off payments from the corporation that funded the genetic project that brought forth Nicolae, were later killed off. Also pretty much applies to anyone in Nicolae's circle of advisers in the Global Community. Carpathia tries to pull this on Rayford and Hattie. It does not work.

As Fred Clark on his Slacktivist page states: If there is a heroic inversion of this trope, then the main characters often play it, (see The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything above.) A lot of their resistance consists of observing Nicolae and internally disapproving, or little gestures designed to embarrass or inconvenience him rather than disrupt his plans or harm him.

Rayford and the other believers defending Petra have some fun with this, goading the Unity Army into attacking them, but with no success from the latter. In the same book, Mac's chopper is rigged with grenades. Mac's faith pretty much saved both him and his chopper when the grenades go boom.

In-universe, the Christian denominations that don't hold to that particular teaching of the End Times get left behind. However, there are some surprising exceptions, like the Catholic congregation in South America whose priest believes in the Rapture. Combined with Artistic License â€“ Linguistics, in The Rising, the authors have a curious etymology for Lucifer's name, from Latin lux, or lucis (light) and ferrum (iron) — in other words, Iron (or Iron-hard) Light. They may have the language and "light" part right, but, in fact, most Christian scholars can tell you that Lucifer actually came from lucem ferre — Light-Bearer. See here. The depiction of Judaism is just... bizarre. Characters explicitly identified as world-renowned religious scholars are blown away when they hear the bare tenets of Christianity, and none of them bring up any of the many real-world reasons that Jews don't believe Jesus was the (or a) messiah. The 144,000 that emerge during the Tribulation include the likes of Tsion Ben-Judah, who was married up to that point. The Book of Revelation states that the 144,000 are all virgin males.

It seems to get more cozy right on the day of Jesus' second coming, at least for the believers. Conveniently, the world's economic system crashes with the destruction of New Babylon on the same day that Jesus comes. Everyone on Carpathia's side who isn't in Carpathia's Unity Army, and isn't so determined to go forward with destroying the Christians and Jews in Petra and Jerusalem, is in a world-wide panic, and those who have lost their fortunes are committing suicide by the droves. This ultimately leads to Screw the War, We're Praising the Lord, when the people in Petra end up paying little attention to the Global Community Unity Army completely surrounding them and more to Jesus coming from the sky to slay all their enemies with The Word of God.

Interestingly, in Armageddon, Nicolae Carpathia alludes to "the final solution" that was attempted on the Jews during World War II that failed to destroy them completely, succeeding only in giving back their homeland Israel, during his private conference with the ten subpotentates where he reveals himself to be the Antichrist.

It has its own moral substitute in the form of Christian Nation, told from a secularist POV and with the roles reversed. The Last Days Trilogy tells the same story as Left Behind but preaches a pre-wrath Rapture instead of a pre-Tribulation Rapture. For those who prefer the preterist interpretation of the Book of Revelation, The Last Disciple series by Hank Hanegraaff and Sigmund Brouwer has you covered, with its story sticking closer to the latter end of the 1st Century AD.

While his characterization throughout most of the series rarely gets any more sympathetic than Smug Snake at best, and approaches Complete Monster territory at worst, he honestly realizes that he was wrong at the very end when put on trial before Jesus and regrets his sins. But at the same time, by then it's far too late for him to be forgiven... and he accepts this gracefully and enters Hell without either begging or kicking and screaming like the other villains, in the knowledge that he deserves it. He's a tyrant who has caused the deaths of millions of people, but the way he chooses to die (after also seeing everything he ever worked for and believed in not only destroyed but proved misguided and evil in the first place) can make him come across as at least somewhat of a Tragic Villain.

Nicolae Carpathia fulfills Scriptural prophecy about himself to a T without any deviation, thinking that he's going to succeed against God and Jesus Christ despite growing evidence that he isn't. The Other Light in Kingdom Come somehow manages to outdo him. They have Nicolae's unfortunate example to learn from, along with the scriptures predicting they will build up a massive army under Lucifer to make war on Christ and the Father on the last day, only for said army to be disintegrated in a second by divine lightning. Armed with this knowledge, what does the Other Light do? They build up a massive army under Lucifer to make war on Christ and the Father on the last day and expect to succeed. And... The Only Light subsect of the Other Light faction in Kingdom Come, believing God and Jesus don't exist despite the contrary evidence.

This was followed by the Movie Multipack release of Left Behind II: Tribulation Force and Left Behind: World At War, both covering the second book. The 2014 movie covers only the first half of the first book, with Left Behind: Rise Of The Antichrist covering the second half.

Left Behind / int_bec0417c	comment	Happily Married: Buck and Chloe Williams may have their disagreements, but they are very happy together. The marriage is now platonic as both Buck and Chloe are glorifieds in Kingdom Come. This goes along with what Jesus said in Scripture that those who are worthy of the resurrection "will neither marry nor be given in marriage, but will be like the angels in heaven". Their relationship pre-marriage was largely platonic as well, with neither party seeming interested in physical intimacy of any significant degree beyond occasionally holding hands or sharing cookies. For the short time they were married, Rayford and Amanda were very happy. Subverted big time with Sorin and Marilena Carpathia, as their marriage was one of convenience. Marilena wanted kids. Sorin didn't, which made her easy pickings for Viviana Ivansova - the future Viv Ivins. Judd Thompson, Jr. and Vicki Byrnes of Left Behind: The Kids also became a couple, as did Ming Toy and Ree Woo in the main series, and Kenny and Ekaterina in Kingdom Come. Other existing happy couples among the Tribulation Force members include Dwayne and Trudy Tuttle (both of whom died in Assassins), and George and Priscilla Sebastian. The same can also be said of Jesus Christ and His bride, the church, when they return to Earth after the Tribulation. Of course, Chang Wong in the Dramatic Audio version of Glorious Appearing jokingly refers to those who became believers after the Rapture as being "the balcony" (where Rayford would go whenever he was late for church).

It quickly allows for him to get the world's governments under his control with a semi-communist approach to government. Eventually, the "mark of loyalty" utilizes a credit system that makes all cash simply pieces of paper or bits of metal, and the currency is done away with. In Kingdom Come, we are given a little quip about how the protagonists are wondering what currency the Millennial Kingdom will be run on, but the mystery is never shared with the readers.

However, any reader can understand that if it's caused by the Russians, then the facts that Russian children are gone too proves that it was no attack but some experiment Gone Horribly Wrong.

The only reason he would need to care about anybody under him is to have worshipers, but Chaim as Micah does point out to Carpathia that he worships himself, so with that in mind, everyone under Carpathia is expendable.

Now, on the subject of Carpathia, we're told he's a great speaker, but though his speech at the U.N. does get a lot of applause it is clear to the reader that his speech, which consists of reciting a lot of uninteresting trivia about the U.N. and also reciting a list of every member nation, has nothing to gain people's enthusiasm since it doesn't contain any actual opinion for people to agree with, apart from a general "Peace is good, mkay?" Maybe this is intentional, to really show off his (possibly supernatural) speaking skills — i.e., the script is terrible, but Carpathia speaks it with such intense passion and flair that he can build enthusiasm anyway.

The authors seriously suggest that the majority of the world's population won't really care about all the explicit miracles. It helps to consider that in fundamentalist Christianity, the usual conceit is that knowledge that God (a) exists, (b) is all-powerful, and (c) deserves infinite glory and fealty, is hardwired into every human being. Only Nay-Theist-level spitefulness can account for such heavy unwillingness to follow him, even after apprisal of the threat of perdition. (Whether dystheism can be animated by anything besides spite doesn't seem to enter the picture.) It's also worth noting that Jesus warned that, "If they would not listen to Moses and the prophets, they would not listen even to a man come back from the dead." Thus, to those in hardened moral rebellion, no sign will convince them, because they don't want to believe. By the time of the Millennial Reign, nobody has any excuse for not believing in the Lord Jesus Christ. And those that choose not to believe in Him won't live past 100!

Left Behind / int_e462893a	comment	Artistic License â€“ Sports: Rayford spent his childhood as a soccer player and was praised for being simultaneously the team's top scorer and best defender. Not impossible by any stretch, but given that by the time kids make it to their early teenage years, they have a preferred position and have developed in it, it is most likely that Rayford would play box-to-box midfielder rather than defender, which would be the position that best suited his purported defensive and offensive acumen. Rayford quit playing soccer simply because he did not enjoy watching it, which would be fair enough if not for his criticisms of it. Namely that professional players all play for 0-0 draws, is an oft-repeated and so-far-off-base comment compared with reality (0-0 draws do happen, but they are rather rare, and are often hated by fans of the game even more than by detractors), and given this book was written and released the very year after Arsenal FC in England finished an entire season undefeated by playing a very offensive game (admittedly something not widely circulated in America at the time, as the game hadn't yet caught on), these are facts that were easily searchable during the time of writing. Rayford was described as the best natural athlete his coach had ever seen, naturally gifted in ability and able to play football, basketball, and baseball as well as being a sprinter and distance runner without effort. Given his soccer background, it has some weight in reality, as players need to have endurance for 90+ minutes of running and be able to sprint when needed, but very few soccer players could ever hope to match actual sprinters in ability (there are mutterings here and there, such as in 2015 when there was talk that Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin could potentially beat world record holder Usain Bolt in a 100m race), and regardless, when it comes to track and field, by the time of high school, most runners have settled for either distance or sprinting, very rarely both, as being good at both means one isn't great at either. In addition, in most high school athletic schedules, baseball and track-and-field take place in the same period (spring), and while small enough schools allow students to play multiple sports in one period, most schools only allow a student-athlete to play one at any given time.

Post-indwelling, with Satan actually present, he rapidly spirals down into maniacal spite and general loopiness. Not to mention his overall strategy of using the Biblical prophecies to know where and when Jesus will appear for him to fight, then bringing the exact army to the table that those same prophecies claim Jesus will mop the floor with.

Left Behind / int_e9f517e1	comment	Artistic License â€“ Geography: One book describes large ships sailing the Jordan River. In reality, the River Jordan has an average depth of 6 feet and only small pleasure crafts can sail on it. For most of the river's length it is more a small creek than a river. Upon arriving in Penn Station in New York City, Buck walks for miles and miles and miles, until he's ready to drop from exhaustion, finds a bicycle, counts it as a miracle from God, and rides it for miles more before arriving in Midtown Manhattan. Problem One: Penn Station is in Midtown Manhattan. Problem Two: The island of Manhattan is only 13.4 miles long (Penn Station is about three miles from its southern tip) and 2.3 miles wide at its widest point. There aren't a lot of places in it that require traveling miles and miles and miles to reach. New Babylon is built upon the ruins of the original Babylon... which is in the middle of a desert. In real life? Babylon is actually only a stone's throw away from Hillah - a city of almost 500k.

In the Millennial Kingdom, Christianity becomes the official one-world religion, though dissidents are permitted to practice the beliefs of the Other Light despite the fact that (1) it's totally in error when it comes to believing Satan is going to defeat God and Jesus by the end of the Millennium and (2) those who remain unbelievers in God and Jesus Christ by the time they reach 100 will instantly die and go to Hell.

The only bright spot of Buck and Chloe's wedding is that they have produced a son, Kenny Bruce, during the years they were married.

The main protagonists have a detailed step-by-step prophecy of what will happen in the next seven years, but whenever they can be bothered to try to convert someone, they tend to use the same speeches as evangelists do now. They don't say the next 4 things their divine prophecy predicts, and then come back after those things have happened. And then there is Hattie. Buck wanted to impress her, so he offered to introduce her to Nicolae. When she actually seems more impressed by Nicolae, Buck explicitly loses interest in her. After learning Nicolae is the Antichrist, Buck tries to persuade Hattie not to go on a date with him... by telling her he thinks she's "not that kind of girl". You'd think that telling her Nicolae is the devil (or at least into murder and corruption) might be more persuasive.

After that, humans and animals live together tranquilly, rivers have turned to milk, the survivors can live to be hundreds of years old (but without their youth), and humanity has collectively abandoned relationships and sexuality to spend eternity worshipping Jehovah.

Rayford's decidedly haughty attempt at evangelism to his copilot in book 2 is a prime example of the latter. One third of the population of the Earth disappears, specifically including all children without exception, and the possibility that divine intervention might have been involved is just completely out of the question. Also played straight with the Enigma Babylon One World Faith, a global religion engineered by the Antichrist. Essentially, anyone who is does not hold to the "true" Christian faith gets rolled into one big spiritual group, and does so willingly. Never mind that there are a variety of traditional, theological, and dogmatic differences between these groups which would be irreconcilable with regard to joining together into one diverse-but-united faith under a central authority. Also played straight with the believers in the Millennial Kingdom, to the point where one would have to be a complete idiot to not see that (1) God and Jesus Christ are pretty much real and (2) any "natural" who remains an unbeliever by the time they reach 100 years of age will instantly die and go to Hell. It's the Other Light faction that has to work hard to convince people of their beliefs.

Left Behind / int_fd76df83	type	Artistic License â€“ Economics
Left Behind / int_fd76df83	comment	Artistic License â€“ Economics: A near-miraculous (almost literally in this case) fertilizer is invented by an Israeli scientist, and the exact chemical formula is kept secret as a matter of national security by the Israeli government. It is put to work making vast tracts of Israel into super-productive mega-farms, turning it into a produce export powerhouse. This ignores the fact that a) Israel being able to produce as much food as the state of New Jersey is not going to cause as big a wave in the international market as the authors think, and b) even if it does, such a continuous bumper-crop on the market would likely depress food prices, quickly rendering the return on the investment in such a project minimal, and other nations would likely enact protectionist import policies on Israeli-grown foodstuffs to keep their own farming industries from collapsing and dragging those nations into economic ruin. It also never occurs to anyone to attempt to reverse-engineer the fertilizer. More profitable for the state of Israel would be to produce and export the fertilizer itself, or to allow others to produce it under paid license agreements. However, according to the authors the Book of Revelation says that the desert will bloom, and so go the books. There is hardly any significant economic upheaval following the Rapture. With the massive gluts of Rapture-abandoned property flooding markets, disruption of supply chains due to mass bereavement, the utter destruction of some industries (anything child-related) combined with the explosive need for others (grief counseling and fertility services), combined with the political unrest as a huge chunk of the population disappeared with no explanation, countries should be on the verge of collapse, yet life goes on completely normally for Our Heroes.

Left Behind / int_ffff2e49	type	There Are No Global Consequences
Left Behind / int_ffff2e49	comment	There Are No Global Consequences: God miraculously destroying Russia's military and vacuuming up 20% of the global population has absolutely NO effect on day-to-day life after the first few hours of panic. That's nothing. In the last couple of books, you get two or three huge asteroids hitting the Earth, the oceans turning to blood, and the sun suddenly blasting out tremendous waves of heat and light powerful enough to reduce metal buildings to slag (the Global Community Palace is reduced to a metal shell when this happens). The only people that survived are the True Believers and Nicolae (who is immune), and people who managed to get to a shelter within the first few minutes. Every forest on Earth should have been ablaze, virtually all animal life that was exposed to the sun during that period should have been fried (we see one unfortunate dog that didn't get to shade in time die horribly, so we know that animals aren't immune), and virtually all of humanity would have been doomed. The oceans (which were turned into blood previously; killing everything in them, including the plankton that all life on Earth depends) would boil and evaporate, leading to massive hurricanes striking everywhere. The atmosphere would be rendered unbreathable. Asphalt roads would liquefy. Rock might turn to lava. The list goes on and on. And yet a few months after that blazing solar storm, which came after the seas of blood, global earthquakes, and the asteroids, Carpathia still has enough infrastructure (all the world's cities are still standing after that because we hear them all report about New Babylon) to create the biggest army the world has ever seen, and equip each every one with a horse to ride on. Maybe there would have been enough people left over, but I doubt anyone thought to save that many horses when they were fleeing for cover. After that one event, that should have been no need for Jesus to come back to slay the remaining unbelievers at Armageddon. Every single one of them would have been dead or dying. Interestingly, this is both averted and exaggerated in the same series. The books seem to claim that only a tiny fraction of adults have the necessary beliefs to be raptured, but then exaggerates the consequences as if they represented a huge chunk of society. Entire parking garages full of abandoned cars, planes falling out of the sky (the entire crew was evangelical?), and most amusingly, a completely abandoned row of cabs at O'Hare airport. Of all the stereotypes they hit in this book, the foreign Sikh/Hindu/Muslim cabbie is the one they avoid. The sheer number of plane crashes that blocked runways is especially odd. Rayford's flight to London is diverted to Chicago, despite the fact there are crashed airliners (plural) on that airport's runways. That a large number of flights are still diverted to this airport suggest all other airports are worse. It's as if every PMD-Christian pilot was trying to land his plane at the exact time of the rapture. The pilot of a Concorde, bound for the US from France, reports that his flight "lost nearly fifty" passengers in the Rapture. Concorde carried exactly 100 passengers. As Fred Clark puts it, "LaHaye and Jenkins would have us believe that nearly 50 born-again, evangelical Christian millionaires were visiting Paris and were willing and able to spare no expense to return to New York City as fast, and in as much luxury, as humanly possible." However, there could have been children on board that were raptured.
