The last trumpet

took place. The number of those that were absent was considerable! The hall was filled with sadness, deep sadness and coldness entered their hearts. Extreme desperation revealed itself within this convention. All agreed about the meaning of what had taken place, yes, it was the great truth: “The saints amongst them had been removed from Earth.” “The bride of Christ was led into heaven.” Some of them spoke out and confessed that in spite of their theological educational background and studies, they never actually understood God’s word and never comprehended his truth. They were actually completely unprepared for the reappearance and the adoption of Gods’ children . One of the younger ones amongst them said: “I never learned this! Our professors never told us that something akin to what happened these last few days could come about…” A certain declination to discuss this soon became apparent, but their minds were too depressed for them to have achieved practical results. A journalist present there later wrote that the faithful that had “remained” behind came to the conclusion that: “What has happened over these last days is without doubt what the Bible calls: ’Admission of the bride into Heaven’ or ‘Jesus collects his own to take them home’. This is all we can say to this at this moment!” the journalist said in closing. This statement was however never published! The authorities held the opinion that all of this were pathological excesses of the faithful and their priest’s fantasy. Everything was dismissed as imaginations that lacked any real basis. An event of such proportion could only be explained by the government. If it should be discovered that its origin was connected to the Christian religion, the first step would have to be the official closure of the Churches and all premises where the gospel was preached, until the circumstances had been legally clarified. One was not only dealing with a national, but with an international problem here. The general mood in ecclesiastical circles and religious communities was dim. All Churches and Chapels were full the following Sunday. Some of the Churches naturally lacked a pastor. And a lot of those that never missed a service were missing. The number of faithful was severely reduced in lots of Churches, but they were replaced by those that had not heeded the Christion proclamation prior to this event. People were now keen to hear God’s word, but the Bible was now a sealed book! A man tried to interpret it, but said: “I can indeed read the letters, but I can’t understand them.” He handed the Bible to another person, but this person said the same. This became too much for those present and all of them began to wail and to cry. The population soon apportioned the cause of this mishap to the believers: “All of this happened because of the Christians, yes, this is true, we therefore owe this plague to them! Let’s go to Church, we want to see what kind of explanation they can offer us!” The explanation they received was simple, very sad and expressed in just a few words: “The time of grace has come to an end!!!” But these explanatory words, used by the foreman of the church service, created even more confusion. Some of the members of the Church stood and began to accuse the preacher: “You are to blame! A lot of people couldn’t ascend with them because you never explained to us what one has to do when the coming of Jesus was near! You are the true culprit! You never explained to us that one must have a pure heart, that one should be filled with the Holy Spirit and that we must always be honest with God and with all human beings!” Someone else said: “I know now what hindered me from approaching Jesus. It was the little things that I never regarded as important, things I thought that
