-Caveat Lector- Significant date! Peter Note from Bill Koenig: The two-hour special "The Road to Rapture" will be televised in the United States on A&E this Thursday, September 9, 1999. Information about the program is below. A&E is offered on most cable systems in the U.S. I am not sure if they are available internationally. It sounds like the program will cover a wide range of thinking; hopefully it will offer the pre-millennial perspective. Although A&E offers interesting and educational programs, I am afraid the subject will not receive it's proper coverage. Anyhow, the timing of the program is interesting though. Thanks to Mary Danielsen for sending this information. ***** A&E SPECIAL PRESENTATION: THE ROAD TO RAPTURE http://www.aetv.com/viewers/premieres/9909rapture.html The End Time. For thousands of years mankind has feared it - and searched for clues to its coming. This two-hour A&E SPECIAL PRESENTATION: THE ROAD TO RAPTURE reports that today, several books on the New York Times best seller list depict doomsday scenarios, that 80,000 people daily visit a web site which posts the upcoming date of the Rapture. The Dream Project documents exact duplicates of nightmares about its advent, reported by strangers thousands of mile apart. When will the Rapture arrive? It is believed by some that in an instant millions of people will disappear from the face of the earth, shedding their clothing, shoes, eyeglasses and jewelry. They will have "Raptured" n that ecstatic moment when true believers are rewarded by being uplifted into heaven. Those left behind will have little time to contemplate the miracle. They will face bitter years of war and social chaos n the period of the Apocalypse and Armageddon that precedes the Second Coming of Christ, as predicted in the biblical Book of Revelation. American cults are known to be stockpiling arms for the imminent battle between good and evil. Thousands have bought one-way tickets to Jerusalem on New Year's Eve 1999 to be there when the Rapture happens. Fascination with the Rapture has crossed over from Christian fundamentalist cults to mainstream popular media. This A&E SPECIAL PRESENTATION: THE ROAD TO RAPTURE will explore the phenomenon from its biblical underpinnings to current popular trends, creating a fascinating portrait of mankind approaching the third millennium.
