- Pastor Vernon Billings: Hello. My name's Vernon Billings, and I'm pastor of the New Hope Village Church of Mount Prospect, Illinois. As you watch this tape, I can only imagine the fear and the despair that you face. For this is being recorded for viewing only after the disappearance of God's people from the earth. The fact that you are watching indicates that you have been left behind.
- Pastor Vernon Billings: But as this tape was recorded beforehand, and I'm confident that I will be gone, you're probably asking yourself, "How did he know?"
