Can we have a thread to see if anyone wants to discuss this series. It is a religious topic, mods, just so you know.

Hi Hillbilly,

Did you see the first thread that Nicolae put up...about Roddy? That's why I asked him if he was reading the series...it was right out of the book. LOL

Okay......I've read them all, except the last one that just came out.....and somebody loaned it to me and I left it at their house. I don't know if I can remember it all......what are the questions?

...i have been trying to figure out for the last three books what 216 meant....did i just overlook it? I have the Remnant but so much time has passed, I need to reread the one before this one.

I haven't read them, but I know a lot of people who have them. They all tell they're good.

...did you read the poster's profile...seems a little odd talking about all that secret stuff...what's up with that?

I'm not sure but isn't 666 the number of the devil or something......and 6X6X6 is 216???

Which poster, Hillbilly......you mean on the other board......?

Hillbilly

Wednesday, August 14, 2002 - 08:35 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
..yes...alaginger..666 is the mark of the beast...but i would have never figured 6*6*6...was that in one of the books?

Did you see the movie with Kirk Cameron? The movie was not as good as the book, because the first book had me glued to my seat, for sure!!!

..yes...look at Nicolae216's profile and read what it says...

Quite honestly, I don't remember reading that......but that doesn't mean it wasn't in there. The last book, the one just before this one came out, left me lacking and I didn't bother to finish it. The ones before it were good.

Okay......I'll look in a few minutes. I'm afraid to leave here right now because I'm not sure I can find my way back (LOL)

I just wanted to add that while reading these books, I always reminded myself that this was just the author's version of the way things might would happen in his interpretation of Revelations in the Bible. I also know there are several churches that have asked their people not to read them because the books don't agree with their interpretation of Revelations. Outside of that, I don't know much.....except about the characters in the books.

I agree, Hilbilly - it was ominous, wasn't it. Oh, sorry, I've been taking Roddy lessons. :)

Alaginger, I agree the one before the Remnant wasn't as good as the others. I haven't read the Remnant yet.

...i'm sure it depends on what church you belong to...not all believe in pre-tribulation (that the Christians will be taken before the Great Tribulation)..some believe that Christians will have to endure the Tribulation like everyone else..

I agree...I still need to reread the last book since I skimmed some parts...it moved kind of slow.

...i didn't see the movie...some friends at work got it and said that the book was better...

Okay......I found his profile and found my way back......not too bad for an old foggie!!!(LOL).

His profile was different, but anybody who likes classical music can't be all bad and I say, to each his own.....

Have any of you read this last book. Is it worth reading, or draggy like the last one.....

...i bot it but got caught up in a Tom Clancy book instead...so I loaned the Remnant to a coworker. We sorta pass them around at work.

A few years back there was a movie called "Speed" (I think that's the name) with Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock. The bus out of control, where the driver has to keep the pedal at 55 MPH or the bomb goes off. Well, that movie kept me on the edge of my seat when we rented the video.....and the first book in this Left Behind series did the same thing to me>>>

Hey Hillbilly...I have read all but the Remnant and seen the movie based on the first book. I also have the 1st 12 or so books of the kids series that I am working my way through. I have the Remnant here, but got waylaid by pain meds after breaking my arm and having surgery on it and havent done much reading in the last month. I hear there is a second movie being made.

There is a library section on the board....maybe the mods could move this thread there and make it easier to find since it is a quieter area.

I'm into a Catherine Cookson novel right now, and will be finished with it by Friday......so I guess over the week-end I'm going to have to run over to Connie's house and get that book off the t.v., where I left it and find out for myself.....
Thanks for the input!!!!!!! See you back at BB3

Alaginger, I read The Remmnant and found it not to be as good as the others. DRAT! All this time I was waiting for it to come out and I even pre-ordered it on Amazon. I was very disappointed....it dragged along. I hope the next one, due out next summer is better. They have a whole year to write it...LOL

Man...you guys are moving fast! Unfortunately I am extra slow these days typing with my one hand....not to mention my non dominate one. Should turn on my voice recognition software and talk instead of type!
I liked the movie...just was glad that it had been awhile since I read the book so I didn't keep comparing. :)
