"We are all sinners."
There was a prediction that the end of the world will be coming soon but nobody knows when and how will it end. Christians believe that the second coming of Jesus will end everything and they called it 'Rapture'.

Chapter 10. "Sinners"
"Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that Day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved His appearing." 2 Timothy 4:8
Day 3
Date: December 18, 2030
Time: 9:44 AM
Place: Glorietta Mall
The Rapture – according to some millenarian teaching, it is the transporting of believers to heaven at the Second Coming of Christ. They believe that Jesus Christ will return to save His believers and they will never perish and have everlasting life in heaven. wrote that the Lord will come down from heaven and that a trumpet call will precede the rise of "the dead in Christ". It was written, some people believe, and some people do not.
The Sinners – they are the people who went beyond the boundary against divine law by committing an immoral act or acts. There were no sinners before when God created Adam and Eve. But everything has changed when the snake tempted Eve to disobey God. Since then, people became sinners.
Rapture happened. After a long time of Christians' theory about it, it finally happened. And we, the sinners were left here. And as I am living here after the said rapture, I kept on asking myself and praying.
"Will God still forgive repentant sinners?" walang malay kong nasabi habang palapit kami sa isang mall.
I know that I was not a believer before, I admit that I have committed horrible sins in my life. But was it too late now? Was it too late now to repent for all of my sins? Was there a chance that I will be saved?
"Nandito na tayo." Sabi ni Tom at saka pinatay na ang engine ng army vehicle. Napatingin-tingin ako sa paligid, we are here in Glorietta Mall. The surroundings were so devastated and messed. We stopped here in front of Glorietta 2.
"Why here, Julian? What about SM?" Chaste asked. Oo nga bakit hindi sa SM Makati?
Nilingon naman kami ni Julian sa likod at pinakita ang map sa iPad niya at nakita naming ang 'X' mark sa SM Makati. Chaste released a breath of despair.
"Fine." Sabi lang niya at saka inayos ang gamit niya. Inayos ko rin ang gamit ko para bumaba ng sasakyan.
Bumaba na si Tom at si Julian. Tiningnan ko naman si Chaste na parang naiilang at iwas ang tingin sa akin. I know he would act that way after what he has discovered about me. Pagtapos kong sagutin ang tanong niya kanina, ay hindi na siya nagtanong pa. Hindi ko na rin pinilit pa na ipaliwanag ang sarili ko sa kanila 'cause I don't give a damn. I know what they will exactly think about me. Why would I waste my time explaining my side anyway?
