The Great Catching Away part one
"Hey Ray," shouted Jason, "After all of this time do you still believe that the return
of Jesus Christ is still very imminent?"
"Hey Jason," replied Ray, "You used to believe that too, what on God's good green
earth, caused you to change your mind and become a mocker just like your friends?"
"Oh, I just saw the error of my ways?"
Jason answered nonchalantly.
"It's one of the modern 'signs of the times," Ray continued, "That in the last days
scoffers shall come saying 'where is the promise of His coming?" for ever since
the fathers have fallen asleep their children continue their scoffing."
"You really are out to lunch, Ray!" Jason shouted.
It was then that a domestic demonically brainwashed pro Hamas terrorist hit Jason
on the side of his head with a baseball bat and knocked him down. Ray tackled the
protester by pinning her down on the ground. Preventing her from further harming
his former best friend.
As she was arrested by their local police department she shouted, "Death
to the Jews, death to Israel and death to the great Satan. America! Death
to the Christian Zionists!"
"Oh yeah lady, you hit the wrong dude, I'm not a Christian Zionist, it's my
former friend that's guilty and not yours truly!"
Jason yelled back at her while running to catch his local city bus. It was a
miracle that prevented his injury even though he didn't know it at the time.
Ray ran as far a way from his former friend as he possibly could. Because of
all of those genuine domestic pro Hamas protesters, his big city living had just
come to an abrupt close. Ray already lost his job due to his Christian beliefs.
His family had previously rendered him an ultimatum, "Ray, you've got to
choose between us, it's either your family or your newly found God, you can
have either one or the other, but you can't have the both of us."
Ray saw Jason boarding a local city bus and decided to wait for the next one
to come along in a few more minutes. Even though he would have to walk
several more blocks to his parents apartment. Upon arrival he found all of his
personal belongings outside of their apartment complex. He picked
up what he needed and left the rest behind.
Fortunately, he had previously registered with a summer Christian retreat, as
a camp counselor with his Open Door nondenominational church. All seekers
after Jesus Christ were warmly welcomed. On another bus, he called his
friend.
