Book Five...The Destroyer Is Unleashed: The world holds its breath as the Tribulation Force ventures to Jerusalem for the great Meeting of the Witnesses, where tens of thousands defy the Antichrist to sit under the ministry of their pastor-teacher, Tsion Ben-Judah. Meanwhile, Rayford Steel finally discovers the shocking truth about his wife, Amanda, but becomes an international fugitive. The fifth Trumpet Judgement - a plague of scorpion-like locusts led by Apollyon, chief demon of the abyss - is so horrifying that men try to kill themselves but are not allowed to die.
