About This Book

A fictional apocalypse imagines events after the Lord's Second Coming in which those left behind endure the Great Tribulation as a charismatic Antichrist seizes power and mandates the mark of the beast. It follows the rise and investiture of an authoritarian ruler, the cultlike adulation he inspires, enactment of blasphemous decrees such as the abomination of desolation, violent persecution and the martyrdom of witnesses, and the desperate flight and gathering of survivors. Grounded in biblical interpretation, the narrative alternates dramatic episodes with reflective passages aimed at warning complacent believers and urging moral and spiritual vigilance.
