Armageddon by Jerry B. Jenkins, Tim Lahaye (2003, Hardcover, Illustrated)

Still loving this series! It has brought me closer to God and his Word and I thank and bless the authors for that. Please check out my Guide on the series. In this book the Antichrist has ratcheted up the search for the unmarked - all believers and a few undecided and the faithful Jews have gone underground literally. Jews are being tortured to the point of death, but not allowed to die. The Tribulation Force is spread out over the world. A key member gets caught and leads the GC Forces on a wild goose chase to find the others. While planning to break that member out they are also planning to move all the underground cell the Trib Force is occupying to Petra (which means rock). The captured Trib Force member is moved before an assault on the facility can be planned. This member is supported and comforted by an angel, even when under truth serum does not give up any information. The angel Caleb's appearance at the execution moves many of the undecided to chose Christ and the member's farewell speech moved me beyond words. I wanted to memorize it! Chang overrides the GC TV and Tsion again preaches to billions - many are moved to receive Christ. The Antichrist moves all his armies to the Middle East to analiate the opposing forces - the Christians and Jews who are in Petra or are holed up in Jerusalem. Tsion and Buck leave the safety of Petra to go to Jerusalem to witness - many are saved. The book ends with the start of the battle to end all battles - but really there will be one more when Satan is released at the end of the Millenium to move the unsaved to battle again with Jesus and his forces.
