I wonder if he got that idea from an even that happened in DeRidder. This was also (obviously in the 70s)
so the setting of course is the wacky world of the 1970s when we were all scared the Russians were coming.
Tom Fred Tenney was preaching a revival on the end times. It had been going for a week I think.
the build up was to this particular night when he was going to preach on the rapture.
He was going hot and heavy, the place was PACKED. I mean 7-800 people. the balcony was full.
it was storming outside and every once in a while the thunder would blast and people would jump off their seats!
TFT was building up to the moment, tension was palpable and all the sudden he screams IN THE TWINKLING OF AN
EYE!
and BAM! Lightening strikes! Thunder BOOMS! and the LIGHTS GO OUT!
The place goes into pandemonium, I mean people loose their minds! several really bad boys were on the back roll of the balcony, they jumped off the balcony and made a bee line for the alter.
One lady who is a great prayer warrior to this day was hit in the lip by some girls very long fingernails and she nearly had to have stitches.
It was nearly 30 minutes before they regained control. Brother Tenney was standing there telling everyone the rapture didn't come. it was just a thunderstorm that knocked electricity out in that part of the city.
I mean CRAZY.
