This will hr* sponsored by Ihe
Calvary Baptist Youth
JOHN BURLEIGH
“The Rapture" is a new color
film that deals with Bible
prophecy relating to the return
of Christ
This film adds a new
dimension to the ministry of
David Wilkerson !,ed by God
into one of the more difficult
areas of this country, he
pioneered a Gospel ministry
that is now world-wide He
began writing and produced u
best seller. The Cross and the
Switchblade He has again
added a new field- motion
pictures-and "The Rupture" is
the result.
Al a lime when u number of
films are appearing on the
subject of the return of Christ,
"The Rapture" is a low-key but
highly imaginative portrayal of
how a television network might
possibly handle the spectacular
catching away of millions of
Saints with the chuos that would
be the result.
While recognizing that there
are diverse opinions as to the
ret urn of Christ, “The Rupture"
is a fairly accurate picture of
how the people of science, a
liberal clergy, and the news
media would reuct to the sudden
und unexplained disappearance
of millions of people whenever it
occurs in God's chronology of
events
