Glorious Appearing by Jerry B. Jenkins, Tim Lahaye (2004, Hardcover)

Very wonderful! We move from the start of Armageddon all the way to the appearance of Christ and the setting up of his kingdom. I found some of the descriptions of the three battles to be gruesome - but very Biblical as prophecy says "blood will run to the height of a horse's bridle." Rafe is seriously injured during, but not in, the battle of Petra but is miraculously returned to perfect condition with the appearance of the Lord. I loved all the Word coming from the Word's mouth and the slaughter of all the enemies of God at his Word. The personalized responses given to each person was wonderful beyond describing! Oh to have Jesus cup your face and speak directly to you!!! The hail and earthquake that do not injure one Believer, how wondrous! The description of the end of the Beast and False Prophet, then Lucifer gave you pictures to go with the words in Revelations. I felt very sorry for the "goats" who had defied God once too often or who had sided with the Antichrist. I would as God would that "all might be saved". I found myself praying for the people who will live through the Tribulation throughout these books - that they will turn to God and away from the Antichrist. I pray the Tribulation saints will be strong and of good faith. This was a wonderful book in a wonderful series - I can't wait to read "Kingdom Come." Amen.
