This like all the other "Left Behind" books were hard to put down once you started reading. Awesome.

This is the fifth book in the Left behind series. Some of the action, as usual, is not plausible. But we do have action in this book. And the authors still manage to make it a page-turner. So if you read the others...go ahead and read it.
Rayford learns the truth about his wife. We have both Chaim
The meeting of the 144,000 takes place in Israel and the Anti-Christ attends, as does the prophets of God. The story line in Jerusalem is well written and you could not only visualize what was transpiring. And the authors did a great job of brining the two prophets to life. And their is very good narrative on the Trumpet Seals as they are unleashed on the earth.
The only thing I would highly recommend is that you make sure to read this book in its proper sequence. It cannot stand on its own.

Rosenzweig and Hattie come to believe the truth about what is required to be saved, but neither takes that necessary step. Chaim because of pride and Hattie because of hate. I found it hard to believe that a man of Chaim's intellect would allow pride to over ride everything he himself has seen and deduced from hard evidence. And Hattie, well they did a good job with her. She is so annoying I kept hoping she would be written out of the story. The meeting of the 144,000 takes place in Israel and the Anti-Christ attends, as does the prophets of God.

All of the Left Behind series is provacative, and real page turners. I would recommend these to anyone. I read them about once a year.

The fifth book of this series was amazing! As the fourth judgment reigns terror down on those that were left behind in the rapture. Along with all the problems coming from the judgments they are also have personal problems. Some of those left behind travel to a huge rally of believers as the
This story is a great perspective getter for believers and nonbelievers alike. I ate this book up in about 2 sittings.
A must read for everyone! Got a rating of 5 out of 5 from me.

The fifth chapter of the Left Behind series can be divided in to two halves in regards to the plot. The first, which centres around a conference and Nicolae's approach to it is lacking any real action until it wraps up, and although there are some character developing motions, it is largely

redundant. The second half drives the story forwards in line with the expectations laid out in Christian literature. The writers ensure nothing can be predicted other than the general predictions and their artistic license is employed well in ramping up the action and creating plot twists. Overall, Apollyon is a standard and entertaining entry in the sequence, however it never delivers any real impact. Show Less

Fabulous! I will say this whole, hattie is still driving me bonkers. What a tool!

By this point in the series, it seems the authors abandoned any way of making the Bible (or their interpretation) seem plausible, and went full fundamentalist. Everything is literal. Nothing is symbolic.
LibraryThing member Madamxtra
This thrill-ride was a glimpse into the very near and frightening future, as the New World Order sets the stage for today’s preppers and survivalists. How will life fare for those of us who will not take on the mark of the beast? It was fun to read of technological advances that seemed

I've been reading through this series for the maybe fourth time... Not enjoying it that great. In fact, I don't really even care enough to leave a decent review. I'd encourage anyone actually reading this as their first intro to the books to read the other reviews here. We're all basically

saying/thinking the same thing. In addition, I think I'm getting too hung up on outdated technology that just sounds silly and unbelievable. I know I should be able to look past that, but it's annoying. I need a break from these for a bit, I think. Show Less
