Just finished reading this book. I bought Left Behind on Friday, then Tribulation Force and Nicolae on Saturday. At first I was so reluctant to buy the Indonesian version because the translation is... *ugh* Just imagine this scene for you who can speak Indonesian... (doh?)
Original : "Tribulation Force... I like that name", said Barnes.
Translated : "Pasukan di Masa Siksaan... Saya suka nama itu", kata Barnes.

I was really laughing when I read that. OK, Trib Force is cool, but Pasukan di Masa Siksaan (literally translated "army in tribulation times") is definitely not.... But yeah, I was lucky that I can still find those books, the first books of the series were rather hard to find... and mine was dirty and folded, but still it's better than nothing.

To think again, I made a good decision when I bought the Indonesian version. Had I bought English it would be harder for me to pass it to my friends and family because they are simply too lazy to read English (although it's better and cooler by far). Now as I moved to the second book, my brother has started to read the first. Maybe later I will ask my Mom and Dad to read too, to ensure that they won't be left behind. Maybe I will need to also buy that New Hope Village Church Videotape, hmm... wonder how much it costs. Now, the message I want to share is that "do you have someone that you think will be left behind when the Rapture comes? do not hesitate and do not wait longer, tell him/her about Christ and let them be saved.... do not let them be left behind..."

I also got a message from the God's Daily Promises Newsletter (courtesy of LeftBehind.com) for those of you and also my friends who want to find God and seek Him more... for me this is like He's speaking to me and telling me to seek Him... yet another answer Lord.... I thank Thee for Your Words.... Keep me seeking You....

This week's promise: If you seek God will you find him What does it mean to have intimacy with God? But they delight in doing everything the LORD wants; day and night they think about his law. --- Psalm 1:2 Spending time with God leads to intimacy.
