The Mark of the Beast

This book, set in England and Israel during the early 1900's, covers the topic of the world becoming a one economic, one religion system all based out of the rebuilt Babylon. If one is reading the current "Left Behind" series, you will notice several similiar styles. An example would be the name of the World Ruler, Apleon in this book while the Left Behind series calls him Appolyon. This book also contains poetry and hymn texts, as well as Scripture quotes to cover the topic. The author creates a picture that is very real and what would happen should the world lose the influence of the Church and the Third person of the Trinity.

This "can't put it down" book has a delightful story line and a sobering message that should not be ignored! A line from the publisher's note says: "It is written in a style so fascinating that young and old will read it with almost breathless interest from start to finish."! We often don't think about "the Lord's near return" and this book is a reminder: joyfully in the knowledge of being with Christ eternally, and oh, so soberly for those who will be left behind. I'm looking forward to sharing this book, as an encouragement to those who are in Christ and as an eye-opener to those who are not! There is a sequel that I can't wait to read -however it is out of print so I hope your prayers will be with me in my search!
