This novel is about the end times made into a story. Or should I say, about what will happen in the near future as prophesied in the Bible. It talks about the rapture and what will happen to the world especially to those who are left behind.

Rayford Steele, a plane captain, is the most focused character here. While flying a plane, many of the passengers were gone in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye (I Corinthians 15:52). And those that were left in the plane were panicked looking for their loved ones vanished from their sides. Captain Steele and all the plane personnel could not make up what happened. They never thought that it happened in all of the world.
Then he remembered what his wife, Irene, always tell him: that one day, those people who received Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour shall be caught up to meet the Lord in the air, "...and so shall we ever be with the Lord." (I Thessalonians 4: 16-18)

After the rapture (caught up), the tribulation period immediately begins. And here, the Antichrist will arise and bring false peace. In this story, the Antichrist is in the character of Nicolae Carpathia. The so-called handsome, intelligent, humble, and all other "positive" traits and characteristics a person can have. But all of these are deceit. The Antichrist will make the world become one for his own good. He's a very good deceiver, and if one doesn't know the Bible, that person will be deceived for sure. Even now, there are plenty of deceptions everywhere. Those that were not acceptable long ago are already the norms today. Negative things became normal. People not believing that there is God, there is a Creator. Evolution poisoned the minds of the people, and other things. The end is truly near.

In this book, the tribulation period had just begun and the continuation is in the next book, Tribulation Force, then the 3rd book, Nicolae, etc.

Please read the book of Revelation and you will be amazed what will happen in the future. You need not to experience the tribulation period where God will pour out His judgment to the Earth. Accept Christ as your Saviour now and you will also be caught up in the rapture. Salvation is not through good works neither through religion. Salvation is in the Lord Jesus Christ only (John 14:6).
