[edit] Plot summary

The world holds its breath as the greatest military battle to ever take place threatens to obliterate all that remains of humanity. All seems lost. The seventh and final Bowl Judgement comes as the greatest earthquake ever measured, followed by a rain of 50lb hailstones. Only one of the original members of the Tribulation Force remains alive, and he's severely injured and on the brink of death. But suddenly, when all seems lost, Jesus Christ returns to Earth in power and glory followed by the armies of heaven, slaying the armies of the Global Community via the words out of his mouth. Once the Global Unity Army has been destroyed, He sets foot on the Mount of Olives and sets up His kingdom in Jerusalem, where He proceeds to sentence the Antichrist (Nicolae Carpathia) and his False Prophet (Leon Fortunato) to Hell, and thereafter, He condemns Lucifer to 1,000 years in the abyss. The book ends with Jesus condemning the last of the unbelievers to Hell and those who were Raptured or martyred return to Earth to be reuniting with their loved ones, and Paradise is ushered in. The Tribulation Force finally reunites in Jerusalem after the long seven years of the Tribulation.
