Rapture in Reverse, Day 4
A Short Story in Serial

Atlantis.
I think I see it on the horizon. Do I dream?
Is it really even a possibility?
Plato talked of Atlantis as an advanced civilization that sank somewhere around 9,600 BC. However, most of us believe in the Young Earth creation theory, where God created Earth and man some 10,000 years ago, after 6 days of creation.
Creatio ex nihilo, creation from nothing.
Could this island be creation from nothing?
The Bible makes no mention of Atlantis, or anything of that sort.
Plato’s writings told of the Athenians going to war with the island of Atlantis after they conquered parts of Italy and Africa. He stated that their vainglory and degeneracy cursed them to collapse beneath earthquakes and great waves.
Just as we have.
This would place Atlantis 350 to 400 years before the birth of Christ, which makes sense in our understanding of the Earth’s timeframe.
Were they punished as our world was?
Did Atlantis sink before or after the great flood?
Was it swallowed when the waters rose?
Obviously, we don’t have any idea if this is Atlantis and what will greet us when we arrive.
What we do know is that there are people there. And if the population dates back to before the time of Christ, then they will not know the word of God.
We must share the good word and bring them to the faith. Only then will Jesus come and his reign begin again.
Our aim is truly the development of a worldwide Christian Community, one that can grow and thrive and bring 1000 years of peace.

Only finding this story now? Read how it began here:
Really love the way our narrator is trying to tie in Atlantis to his sense of the world, to his faith and belief system by imagining Atlantis as being swallowed by the great flood. He seems so set on it being something Godly, when there's no evidence to support this idea. Again, love the artwork, and the little notes written down. Very immersive storytelling.
