Synopsis

In the third book of The End series, Joshua Jordan remains in Israel during his self-imposed “exile” out of the reach of U.S. authorities who have trumped-up false criminal treason charges against him. His wife, Abigail, continues to lead the Roundtable to prove the innocence of her husband.

 

Following the nuclear attack by Russia, Israel is cleaning up the bodies of dead enemy soldiers for 7 months and setting out on its 7 year plan—both per the prophecies in Ezekiel.  As corruption in high government offices threaten to block the election of a worthy presidential candidate by all means necessary—including the unthinkable—Israel’s leadership is tempted to sign a “peace” proposal initiated by the UN under the authority of Coliquin. After he discusses this plan with Pastor Peter Campbell, Joshua is convinced Coliquin may well be the prophesied Anti-Christ and that his peace plan is a trap to destroy Israel.

 

Are the recurring dreams Joshua has had about the coming rapture from God. And is the end sooner than anyone expects?

About this title

Review:

A hero pilot turned weapons designer, Joshua Jordan was banished to Israel after he was accused of treason. His attorney wife, Abigail, is working fervently to ensure he gets a fair trial. Meanwhile, Israel is trying to clean up after a nuclear attack by Russia. Most citizens believe the Rapture to be upon them. VERDICT: Full of intrigue, the latest entry in the action-packed thriller series (after 'Edge of Apocalypse' and 'Thunder of Heaven') by LaHaye, co-author of the best-selling “Left Behind” prophecy series, and Parshall (“Chamber of Justice” series) will appeal to fans of spiritual thrillers by T. Davis Bunn. (Library Journal)

In fine Ironman-meets-the-Rapture style, LaHaye (Left Behind series) and Parshall add a third volume to The End series of political apocalyptic thrillers. Weapons specialist Joshua Jordan is narrowing down who he thinks may be the anti-Christ when the Rapture, the belief that faithful followers of Christ are snatched away to heaven before the end of the world, arrives, and he must prepare a protégé, Ethan March, his assistant and a former pilot, for the time of tribulation to come. Joshua’s wife, Abigail, defends him against false charges that led to his exile from the U.S. Joshua and other followers of Christ wage battle with divine intervention against the powers of darkness and convince people to join Christ’s side. Characters teach predictive prophecy as they hurtle through the fast-paced worldwide quest to save as many people as possible from doom. Quick pacing and a heart-pounding resolution lead to a dynamic scene of the afterlife and a cliffhanger for the next book. Fans of Left Behind ought to enjoy this new blending of a familiar (to some) premillennial doctrine with new characters and complex story line. (Publishers Weekly)
