'Cause I'm Scared

When I was a kid we had TFT preach a revival series on Revelations. Obviously this was all the rage in those days and TFT was NEVER a fear preacher.

Nor was this really that kind of thing. But it sure had that tension of the looming rapture in it. Anyway after several service of this the place was packed out and the last night he was preaching on the rapture. It was crazy packed with the balcony full and everything.

Anyway as he was preaching a storm was building up outside and TFT was really going hard and all the sudden he screams “In the twinkling of an EYE!” as he snaps his fingers…… and at that exact second…. And I mean that exact second, lightening struck and knocked the electricity out!

I kid you not, at the exact second he says this in reference to Jesus coming back, there is this massive BOOM outside and the place goes pitch black!

It was absolute Pandemonium. People literally jumped down from the balcony and ran to the alter. There were injuries. I mean real ones. One lady ended up needing stitches in her lip because some other woman with long fingernails was going nuts and her nail slashed the other ladies lip.

I just remember finding my mom in that chaos and knowing all was well. Mamma goes in the rapture so if she was here, I was still safe.

That was nuts.

I wonder if this is the actual event which, after a few retellings, turned into God sending lighting down and splitting the alter?

NO!

That was Richard Heard and Tommy Tenny was there, but it was Richard Heard behind the pulpit, not altar.

I didn't even realize this the alter splitting incident was that recent. I don't suppose there are any photos of the aftermath of this? Or audio recording of it as it happened?
