Chloe Steele quotes from Left Behind (2014)

Can I ask you a question, Mr. Williams?

Cameron "Buck" Williams

Yeah, sure.

Do you read the Bible?

Cameron "Buck" Williams

Well...I'm guessing not as often as you do.

Well, Matthew 24:7 says that there shall be famines, pestilences and earthquakes in diverse places. All of these things, the disasters, the wars, they are all signs.

Chloe Steele

So God knew that all of these things were going to happen?

Honey, God knows everything.

Chloe Steele

So then why doesn't He do something? I mean, He is God, right? Couldn't He stop a flood if He wanted to? Maybe send a little rain to stop a famine?

It's a fallen world. God created it perfect, and we destroyed it with the first sin.

Chloe Steele

Who destroyed it? Me? You? (points to Buck) Him?

The Lord works-

Chloe Steele

In mysterious ways. I know. But somehow, people keep believing that He loves them. Now that is mysterious.

Chloe Steele

I don't understand. You worked here, you preached here.

That's not what counted.

Chloe Steele

What do you mean?

I knew the words. I could quote them, chapter and verse. But that's not enough. You have to believe.

Chloe Steele

Believe? Believe in what? In a God who killed my father? A God took my mother and my brother, and ripped them out of this world?! A God who crashes planes and destroys cities?!

He took them to protect them!

Chloe Steele

From what?

From the darkest time in the history of this world: persecution, war, and seven years of darkness. He took them to heaven.

Chloe Steele

And what about the rest of us? What about me? What am I supposed to do?

It's not about what we do. It's about asking for forgiveness, and turning our lives-

Chloe Steele

STOP IT!! The God my mother talked about would never do something like this!

Chloe, please, listen to me!

Chloe Steele

Listen to you? Why should I? You didn't even listen to you!

Cameron "Buck" Williams

It looks like the end of the world.

Chloe Steele

No. Not yet. I'm afraid this is just the beginning.
