Have you heard about the new Christain novel that's topping the charts?
In Desecration, Antichrist Nicolae Carpathia enters the temple in Jerusalem and declares himself God, leading the world to the brink of Armageddon.
And get this, the book features soft-spoken Chaim Rosenzweig. It's #9 in a series.
The best-selling end-of-time fiction series tells the riveting stories of people who, after the rapture of the church are "left behind" to experience the tribulation and other events prior to Christ's return to Earth. With the prophetic teachings of the Bible as the background, this dynamic apocalyptic fiction has captured the imaginations of millions.
I guess if you're interested, you'd have to start reading the series at Left Behind, which is book #1.
Passengers aboard a Boeing 747 en route to Europe disappear. Instantly. Nothing remains except their rumpled piles of clothes, jewelry, fillings, surgical pins, and the like. All over the world, in a flash, cars are left unmanned. Terror and chaos continues worldwide as the cataclysm unfolds. For those left behind, the apocalypse has just begun.
Wondering if that rapture will soon be upon us? No problem. Consult the Rapture Index.
You could say the Rapture index is a Dow Jones Industrial Average of end time activity, but I think it would be better if you viewed it as prophetic speedometer. The higher the number, the faster we're moving towards the occurrence of pre-tribulation rapture.
Looking for something less Christian, more Satanic, try Stephen King's The Stand. One of the best books I've ever read. You can read the first 12 pages of Stephen King's, The Stand, here.

Peace be with you and Joy to the World. Jeremiah was a bullfrog.
