MILLIONS MISSING AROUND THE WORLD
Area airport ticket counters were empty as all travel came to a halt last
night. At 12:05 last night a telephone operator reported three frantic calls
regarding missing relatives. Within fifteen minutes all communications were
jammed with similar inquiries. A spot check around the nation found the same
situation in every city. Sobbing husbands sought information about the
mysterious disappearance of wives. One husband reported"...I turned on the
light to ask my wife if she remembered to set the clock, but she was gone.
Her bedclothes were there, her watch was on the floor...she just
disappeared..." An alarmed caller from Brooklyn tearfully reported--"...My
husband just returned from the late shift...I kissed him...he just
disappeared in my arms..."
Less than thirty-five minutes after the first calls were received a well
known television executive took to the air with the first explanation of the
mass midnight disappearing. He was quoted as saying that the strange
disappearance of millions last night was a biblical prediction that suddenly
exploded into fulfillment. In determined syllables he spelled out what he
called the 'rapture of the saints.' "Jesus Christ has returned to the earth
and has taken His Christian people as His bride...It has been forecast for
centuries...My own mother spoke often of this day. We have been left behind.
There is no hope. I have missed the only thing worth living for. I -- like
you -- refused to believe in the literal coming of Jesus Christ."
All major TV and radio networks canceled late programs and have been
operating on a round the clock news service. By 12:45 this morning mass
hysteria had gripped the world. No other explanation has been offered as
yet.
To the millions left behind in the wake of this gigantic mystery one cold
fact looms larger by the hour -- "JESUS CHRIST HAS COME. HE HAS TAKEN HIS
BRIDE TO BE WITH HIM FOREVER. THE WORLD AWAITS HIS NEXT MOVE."

MANY GRAVES FOUND OPEN -- BODIES GONE
Shortly after the news broke last night that Jesus had come--thousands took
to the cemeteries looking for the bodies of loved ones. Most of those in the
cemetery -- who found empty graves -- were there mainly because of a bible
verse they had heard. (1 Thessalonians 4:16) "For the Lord Himself shall
descent from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with
the trump of God: AND THE DEAD IN CHRIST SHALL RISE FIRST..." The dead were
the first to be found missing last night.

HUNDREDS TRAMPLED TO DEATH DURING REVIVAL MEETING
Little Worth, Texas reports sixty-three persons trampled to death when over
2,000 people tried to rush from the civic auditorium at the very height of a
revival service. The Rev. Forthright was reading his text... in an hour that
ye think not -- then shall the son of man come...' Right before the eyes of
thousands the minister suddenly disappeared. The choir disappeared. Over
two-thirds of the congregation disappeared. Those left behind began to
scream and run in all directions. Over 300 ran weeping for mercy.
Trampling, pushing, screaming, wailing -- the crowd kept yelling -- 'Jesus
has come -- we're lost -- we're left behind.' From coast to coast services
like this were interrupted. The same was true in store front churches -- in
rallies, in open air meetings, in house prayer meetings. Jesus has come for
His church -- His bride.

WORLD LEADERS CALL FOR AN EMERGENCY SESSION
A Canadian official was the first of many world leaders to call for a
special emergency session of the United Nations to discuss the new world
crisis brought about by the mysterious disappearance of millions. Speaking
over the CBC network he called for immediate steps to regain world
confidence. He voiced the fear that as a result of the crisis -- Russia
would take immediate steps to launch an all out hydrogen war. He stated --
"The world is tottering on its axis. A waiting world looks to the skies for
an explanation. Fear and terror has blinded the eyes of men everywhere.
Godless Russia will take advantage of this fear. She will strike in an
effort to claim responsibility for this calamity. We must be prepared for an
attack."
One hour after the broadcast -- the official Russian news agency TASK --
carried a report that the soviet presidium was contemplating a statement in
effect that a new secret weapon was launched and is responsible for the
mysterious disappearance. All armed forces in Russia have been alerted to
stand by for orders. One correspondent reports unusual activity at three
major missile launching sites in the Ukraine.
Two American planes crash landed on Russian soil -- but no pilots were
found. They are believed to be victims of the disappearance. Russia is
prepared to use these crashes as an excuse to launch an attack on the west.
There was no comment from Washington.

PLAYFUL, SENSUAL WORLD SHOCKED BY SUDDEN MASS KIDNAPPING
Around the world crowds were eating, drinking and playing--unaware of what
was happening to thousands of Christian people. Broadway was packed with
thrill seeking multitudes -- champagne and whiskey was flowing like water --
inebriated dancers were whiling away morning hours -- gourmets were greedily
tasting their fancy foods. Wedding bells were ringing from many steeples.
Divorce proceedings were in full swing. Lovers lane was crowded with thrill
seeking fornicators. Building contractors were busily making plans for new
gigantic projects. Wealthy men were laying plans for new investments. Buyers
and sellers were restlessly active. New crops and vineyards were being
planned. Smoking, drinking, cursing crowds were talking about the fabulous
future.
The shocking news that broke last night has left everyone reeling. Some
revelers were remembering the haunting message delivered by a radio speaker
just the night before. From St. Luke he quoted: "Likewise, also, as it was
in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they
planted, they builded; (married and were given in marriage) But the same day
that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and
destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is
revealed..." (Luke 17:28 to 30).
The plans mean nothing now. The one ingredient that made them possible is
now missing -- MORE TIME! TIME IS RUNNING OUT FOR THE SIN CROWD!

DEATH STALKS THE HIGHWAY
Unidentified man critically injured when struck by driverless car.
Pennsylvania turnpike travelers sat by the roadside -- stunned and alarmed.
Driverless autos raced down the highway smashing into other cars and tunnel
entrances. Stranded automobiles blocked every major highway in America.
Missing drivers could not be located. A four car collision in Massachusetts
was described by a wife who lived to tell the story. "We were headed for
Pittsburgh with two children. I was lighting a cigarette when my husband
started to pass a big truck. Just as he was about to turn into his own
lane--I looked and he was gone. I thought maybe he fell out, so I grabbed
the wheel. I couldn't hold the car in the lane and we crashed head-on with
three other cars. My children are gone, too. My husband was a good man. He
loved the Lord. He went with Jesus. He was taken from me."
---------------------------------------
Major airlines reported traffic patterns are all mixed up and a number of
planes have collided and others are off course. Missing airport controllers
have caused an emergency of major proportions.
Railroad officials have admitted that five trains have crashed in the last
eight hours. Eight hundred and seventy have died as a result. Switchboard
operators were among the missing. Other collisions have also been reported
with freight trains. The toll of death at many crossroads is alarming.
A Staten Island ferry boat was stranded when two of the crew suddenly
disappeared. Three subway crashes were reported. A Blue Line bus carrying
sixty passengers crashed into a bridge and plunged into the river when the
driver disappeared.
Adding to the tragedy of the highways and communications systems -- are the
thousands of motorists who have loaded their cars and are heading to the
mountains to escape the wrath of God. This exodus to the rocks and mountains
and wilderness is causing more confusion by the hour.

TEENAGERS TURN ON THEIR PARENTS
A New York City teen gang leader today called for a national "Hate thy
Parents Club." This club will enlist teenagers around the world who will
swear to betray their parents. They will spend their time in organizing
"hate activities" aimed at getting even with parents who didn't take time to
tell them the truth about the coming of Jesus Christ. The organizer stated
that for years teenagers have been losing all their morals and living in
just and terrible sin. Now they are going to get even with their parents who
he believes are really at fault. He reasons that a parent that really cares
for a son or daughter would at least talk about eternal things.

THRONGS IN THE NATION DIE OF HEART ATTACK
Thousands of coronary victims have died since the news was released
concerning the multitudes who are missing. In Chicago -- the famed loop was
the scene of prostrated heart victims. Fifty-five victims were taken to the
morgue for identification. In Los Angeles and New York it was reported that
as many as 300 deaths per hour are being reported to hospitals. All have
died due to heart failure because of the strange happenings in the past
hours.
Hospitals and morgues have refused to take in any more heart victims. They
are operating under crowded conditions and are much understaffed due to the
many nurses and some doctors who have also disappeared.
A remaining church leader quoted a scripture from the bible as an
explanation for the thousands of heart failures. He quoted from St.. Luke
21:25 and 26: "And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in
the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea
and the waves roaring: MEN'S HEARTS FAILING THEM FOR FEAR, and for looking
after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven
shall be shaken..."
