My personal Rating-
{These ratings are for content, since everyone has a different opinion on the Rapture and how it will happen.}
Not one of my favorites in this series due to some more gore-y content and Carpathia twisting Scriptures. I know he’s supposed to be the Anti-Christ, but it still makes me mad. :(


See y’all on Friday with a new review!
