WHAT IS IT?:
Dray utilizes a compelling PowerPoint presentation to introduce the biblical event of the Rapture, emphasizing its certainty as declared by God. He powerfully illustrates its relevance to contemporary life by integrating specific episodes from “The Rapture Chronicles Drama Series.” Through exploring the characters’ behaviors and their responses to the Word of God (the Bible), Dray clearly demonstrates how these choices ultimately lead to either preparedness or unpreparedness for the Rapture, urging viewers to reflect on their own spiritual readiness.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?:
It is very apparent that God’s word is being fulfilled right in front of our eyes every day!
Matthew 24:3-13
2 Timothy 3: 1-9
Romans 1: 18-32
It is also very important to present a clear picture of the Rapture, the promised blessed event that God has planned for the Saints. And present an image of how it might happen!
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
Titus 2:13
1 Corinthians 15:52
Matthew 24:36
1 Corinthians 15:51-57
It is the job of God’s people to share the glorious word of the Gospel to as many people for Jesus, as possible while we’re living! This program is one of the ways that the Lord is leading me to do.
Mark 16:15
Matthew 24:14
Mark 13:10
Ephesians 6:15
HOW DOES THIS WORK?:
This program innovatively uses a short film to create an immersive, emotional experience of the Rapture, fostering personal identification with characters. Viewers see the consequences for both the unprepared (prompting life change) and the prepared (encouraging evangelism). This strategic flow leads to a clear Gospel presentation and an opportunity for salvation and prayer.
Following the film, the presentation transitions into a crucial phase designed for personal identification. Here, viewers are invited to identify with specific characters whose lives are portrayed after the Rapture. These characters will likely represent two primary paths:
The Person Who Missed the Rapture: Through their struggles, regrets, and the harsh realities of their new circumstances, it is hoped that those viewers who identify with this character will feel a strong conviction to begin a life change. The aim is to stir a desire for repentance, a search for truth, and a turning towards God.
The Person Who Was Prepared for the Rapture: This character’s peace, joy, and the fulfillment of their faith will serve as an encouragement to those viewers who identify with them. It is hoped they will be inspired to share the Gospel with a more focused devotion, understanding the eternal stakes and feeling empowered to lead others to Christ.
This character identification phase is where “Ready Or Not?” can be introduced as a vital companion. After viewers have grappled with the scenarios presented by the characters, the book can be presented as a tool for further exploration and deeper understanding.
