Left Behind: Rise of the Antichrist

"With God, all things are possible."

Matthew 19:26

Over the years, I've shared that verse more times

than I could ever count.

But now for the first time, I know it's true.

You see, six months ago,

something impossible did happen down there.

One instant of time, millions of people

just disappeared without a trace.

Poof, gone, just like that.

Well, if that's not impossible,

-then I don't know what is. -

Its cleanup efforts continue in the aftermath

of the vanishings.

Single most catastrophic event in all of human history.

And security forces work to stem worldwide violence.

There's still more questions than answers.

Today, people still say

the vanishings came without a warning

or any kind of explanation.

But that's just not true. -

There were plenty of warnings and explanations.

But there were also plenty of closed minds.

While the President insists

that the greatest threat to our country

is those clinging to the conspiracy theory

that somehow God had something to do

with the vanishings.

And we all know that a closed mind

is not an easy thing to pry open.

But even after watching all those people

just vanished into thin air,

most people still had no interest

in the fact that all of it was written down

thousands of years ago in that dusty old book

on the shelf.

It's been six months since tens of millions of people

suddenly disappeared.

And as far as we're concerned,

none of them had been seen since.

So, they hid from the truth mostly,

dreaming up any answer they could think of,

as long as it didn't involve God, of course.

Solar flares, secret weapons,

-Little Green Men. -

Nothing was too crazy for a world

determined not to see the truth.

And, of course, one thing you can always count on

when disaster strikes.

There are those whose first thought

is how to seize the opportunity.

For Jonathan Stonagal,

while he seemed to have his plan in place

before those empty clothes that even hit the ground.

Now you understand, Mr. Stonagal,

if it were up to me,

I wouldn't be questioning any of this.

It is up to UN, all of it.

The board can't interfere with what I'm doing

without unanimous consent.

You're not here to tell me

that you're turning your back on me now.

Are you, Ed?

I've turned hundreds into thousands,

thousands into millions, millions into billions.

And still, the bean counters think

that they know what's best.

We're losing millions of dollars everyday now

with all of your new projects and investments.

And even the biggest social media platform in history

buying up every media company you can get your hands on.

You don't need to be the only source

of news and information.

And now, $400 million to build a temple

in the Middle East?

-It's a nice temple. -

Sir, your two o'clock is here.

I suggest you go and give serious thought

as to what side of the table you wanna be sitting on.

Something big is coming.

Trust me.

You wanna make sure you're on the right team.

Does people grapple with a new reality

Trying to accept the fact that they may never see

those missing loved ones again.

Faith in our leaders is gone.

And frustration and anger is in an all-time high.

Not only have violent crimes risen dramatically,

but suicides are soaring out of control.

But according to mental health experts,

there is an explanation to what's going on.

We're going to get into that with one of them

right after the break.

Tonight on GWN...

I have to admit,

I was never a big fan of Rayford Steele.

His wife, Irene, had tried for years

But I guess church just wasn't his thing.

When she did manage to drag him there,

he'd either read the sports news on his phone

or grab a quick nap thinking everyone would believe

he's praying.

Irene had warned him about the Rapture

over and over again.

Or at least that's how it seemed to him.

I just can't control. This is Pampam 257.

We have an emergency. I repeat, we have an emergency.

JFK Control, listen to me. We've lost passengers.

People have literally disappeared from the plane

at 30,000 feet.

So, when half the passengers on his transatlantic flight

vanished that night,

he knew right away what had happened.

He may not have fully understood what it meant,

but Irene had told him what would happen.

And it did.

And so, at least Ray knew one thing for sure.

He desperately wanted to believe that Irene was right.

I miss you and Rayme so much.

It's been hard.

I just keep thinking about the things I said and did.

Well, you know much I love you.

I just wish I could see you one more time.

But I know I can't.

Yeah, I know I can't.

The world's obsession with the vanishings

is still in full force.

And since we have no answers from our supposed leaders,

that's not really a surprise.

And while the immediate panic and acute terror

may have passed, I don't think anyone can say

that the world is not a completely

different place now.

In the past six months,

we've seen a dramatic, even shocking increase

in virtually every metric of human depravity.

Compared to the same time last year?

Murders are up by more than 300%,

and suicides are up nearly 1,000%.

The violent crime, assault, rape, robbery,

vandalism, looting, rioting, they're all shattering records.

And mental health experts are telling us

that the worst is yet to come.

I have with me tonight, Dr. Ruby Kincaid,

who is leading the multinational investigation

into what many are now calling, "a pandemic of evil."

Doctor, thank you so much for being here with us tonight.

So, I guess we should just get right to the heart

of the matter.

What's going on?

In the case of the vanishings,

there's simply no historical knowledge

-to draw on. -

So, people are triggered into a prolonged

fight or flight reaction.

Uh, there is anger, fear, mistrust, retaliation.

Those are powerful emotions, and they need an outlet.

So, do you think world leaders and our own government as well

should be doing a better job at helping us understand

exactly what's happening?

I mean, I know we have no idea where those people went,

but telling everyone to stay at home,

stop asking so many questions.

I mean, that can't likely be helping.

Uh, I think the root cause

is not the lack of clear information,

but the abundance of misinformation.

Our leaders need to do more to stop people

from coming up with conspiracy theories.

So, ignorance is bliss?

Uh, protecting people from dangerous ideas

isn't making them ignorant.

We need to make it our priority to keep people safe.

Keep them safe from what exactly?

Another wave of vanishings.

What?

Hold on. A second wave of vanishings?

Well, we have been feeding all of the data

we've managed to gather about the vanishings

into a database.

We were then able to use sophisticated

computer algorithms to create predictive models.

And those models suggest that a second wave

is not only possible, it's almost certain.

So, computers figured this out.

That's right.

Do you yourself, personally,

believe more people are gonna disappear?

Or do you think that people are just better off

scared right now, you know, to keep them more compliant?

I mean, we have a problem,

where people are so terrified and confused

that they're becoming violent and self-destructive.

And you think coming on here and scaring them even more

is gonna somehow make things better?

Are you saying that you know for a fact

that it's not going to happen again?

Not at all. Not at all.

I have no idea.

And I'm starting to suspect that...
