Thousands of years of human history stained by strife, death, and sin come to an end when the King of Glory returns to earth. The satisfying conclusion of the seven years of Tribulation covered by the Left Behind series portrays the return of Jesus Christ to earth in both glory and judgment. At the height of the battle between the forces of evil gathered at Armageddon and the remaining Christian believers at Petra and Jerusalem, nothing seems to be able to stop the Antichrist, Nicolae Carpathia. But God has another plan.
This is what every believer has been waiting for, the Glorious Appearing of Jesus, the King, the Saviour. The authors do a pretty good job of imagining the leading up of the appearance, as well as the events that transpire by using the Scriptures. I am glad that they only had Jesus speak words out of the Bible, and did not make up anything for Him to speak. They weave several chapters and books of prophecy together to come up with a plausible transpiring of the events, such as the sign of the Son of Man, the army of saints following Jesus, and the salvation of the remnant, as well as everyone's personal interview with their Saviour. Of course this will probably not be the way it'll actually happen, since God's ways are not our ways, but it is a plausible speculation and fun to read.Of course the Antichrist and False Prophet are schlocky characters and buffoonish, and there had to be enough hijinks and gross-outs to keep the adolescent audience in hoots and hollers. But the appearance of Lucifer was bone-chilling as he brags about what he aspires to.And since the focus is mostly on Jesus (where it should be), the reader who is interested in the characters is left wondering why Chang is more interested in Naomi than in reuniting with his parents (who got saved and martyred/beheaded), and other little details like that. But who cares? There will be sequel after sequel, or at least one showing the Great White Throne judgement where the Antichrist's cabinet members (Viv Ivins, etc.) will be judged. Also, there is likely to be a prequel, to show more about Rayford's first wife Irene and the saints who were raptured. So, yes, it is commercial and money-making. But also, there is a lot of scripture quoted. I only wish that they had little book/chapter references in the margin for those who want to look it up. It is more than the book of Revelations, for example, there are parts from Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, etc. But then, I'm sure the authors have a study series or will have, for those who are so inclined.
