0:00.0 | Welcome to 10 minute Bible Talks. |
0:05.0 | Where we connect the Bible to your life and the time it takes to get to work. |
0:11.0 | I'm Tanya Wilmouth. |
0:19.0 | When I was a little girl, I watched a movie that made me scared. I was going to be left behind. Like, Jesus was going to come back and I was going to be left behind. |
0:22.0 | I can remember watching it in the |
0:23.8 | basement of our little country church on a TV and VCR I don't know someone must have |
0:27.9 | brought it in for the occasion and in that movie they, apparently Christians, that got swept away in the sky, like all of a sudden, in the clouds, and then everyone else was left wondering where they went and what happened, there was mass chaos for those who were still left. |
0:46.4 | Then the people who were left had to decide to either get the mark of the beast or go to the guillotine. |
0:51.3 | It was terrifying. That was probably between 11 and 13 and I realized |

1:35.6 | I think a lot of things got passed along on that phone tree and I think a lot of people |
1:41.4 | wonder why somebody called and hung up. |
1:44.4 | It sounds crazy to me now, but it made sense to me then, |
1:48.0 | or at least it made as much sense as the movie did. |
1:51.0 | But those thoughts, in a way, those stayed with me for a while. See, even in the college |
1:56.3 | I would sometimes find myself thinking, what if Jesus comes back and I'm out at this bar? Okay, now maybe that was to my conscience, maybe that was my mom's voice in my head. |
2:06.4 | I don't know. I probably did need to hear it. |
