[edit] Plot summary
[edit] Just after the Glorious Appearing
After the Glorious Appearing, Cameron Williams (formerly known as Buck) and Chloe notice that their son, Kenny, is playing with other children who were orphaned during the Tribulation. Buck and Chloe form a ministry known as Children of the Tribulation, or COT for short.
[edit] Ninety-three years into the Millennium
A girl who worked at COT, Cendrillon, died as a result of her secret involvement in TOL (The Other Light), a group dedicated to Lucifer and to overtaking the Kingdom, and causes a new sense of panic resulting from dense numbers of TOL in France and their young deaths at age 100.
Meanwhile, Kenny Williams, Raymie Steele, and Abdullah's two kids form the Millennium Force, dedicated to share the Gospel to unsaved children before they turn a century old.
Kenny tries to go undercover and infiltrate TOL, but his plans go awry when his older believing friend Abdullah Ababneh mistakenly thinks he is really a member of TOL. This causes Kenny's life to virtually fall apart, as his girlfriend Ekaterina deserts him, all his friends abandon him, and even his own parents can hardly seem to believe him.
Ekaterina soon feels guilty and talks to Kenny, and they discover the real infiltrator from TOL, another teenager named Qasim Marid. Qasim is fired and Kenny is reunited with his girlfriend and his family.
[edit] The final victory
At the end of the Millennium, all the billions of members of TOL gather all the weapons they can to battle against God, and Lucifer himself leads their charge. However, Jesus comes out to meet them and says, "I Am Who I Am," and the entire opposing army is devoured by fire. Jesus then speaks personally to Lucifer shaming him for his iniquities and evils. At his final words he tears a "hole in the cosmos" and we see the Beast (Nicolae Carpathia) and the False Prophet (Leon Fortunato), who are both writhing in agony and torments and screaming "Jesus is Lord!" Lucifer joins them in their screaming and is thrown into torment with them. The Great White Throne Judgment (Rev 20:11-15) takes place, and the earth is renovated by fire (2 Pet 3:13). All the believers are then welcomed into heaven.
