THIS BOOK READS LIKE THE NIGHTLY NEWS! Prophecy foretells the coming of an Antichrist, a powerful, charming but evil dictatorial leader who will appear during a time of worldwide desperation and deprivation and provide a chaotic world with false hope. His coming will not be the result of a gentle, bloodless coup, or an antiseptic political evolution. It will be accomplished and accompanied by brutality and bloodshed on an unprecedented scale. This remarkable individual, with supernatural diplomatic skill, will dazzle a desperate generation and bring peace to a world staggering on the precipice of anarchy and destruction. Hence, he will be lauded as history's most extraordinary peace broker. The one non-fictional personality portrayed in this book is the Antichrist. According to the prophets, he will come to power in a dead-to-truth world, and most will flock to this remarkable man like proverbial moths to a flame. They will be drawn to his warmth and light only to be destroyed by his fire.Phil Arms uses the actual biblically-prophesied timeline as a plumbline. This fictional account occurs just as "the man of sin" begins his conspiratorial ascent to become an all-powerful world ruler. The story answers the oft posed question by many students of prophecy who read of his meteoric rise to power and ask, "How could this happen?"Having spent decades as a biblical preacher, teacher, and researcher, Arms remains true to both the tenets of the faith and the basic eschatological facts revealed in Scripture. Christian, this book will stimulate your faith in God's prophetic Word and encourage your anticipation of Christ's appearing. If you do not know Christ as your Savior and Lord, once Christ's followers are caught up to be with Him, this book will be among the few pointers to the truth during the tribulation. It will help you understand what is happening to your world, why, and what to do to escape "the wrath to come."
