Left Behind: Apollyon

The fifth book in the Left Behind  series by Jerry B. Jenkins about the last day according to the biblical Revelation chronicles what happens when Apollyon and his forces are released as part of the seven judgments of God. Hating Christians but unable to attack them, and only able to attack non-Christians who have not been sealed by the mark of Christ, which is a cross, the symbol of Christ's death and resurrection, people everywhere who get bitten try to die but are unable to, because God refuses to allow Death to take them, but only during that time. This shows that God reigns above everything, including our own mortal enemy, Death.

Jenkins includes a Bible-based description of Apollyon's forces, including the fact that they are able to say only one word: Apollyon, the Greek name of their ruler. Buck ends up with one and studies it, which is how we find out what it looks like.

And, as always, Antichrist Nicolae continues to try to take over the confused world. Some people turn to Christ - and others don't. We'll all face the same God, but some of us won't have Christ to intercede on our behalf.



This is an absolutely fantastic series, and I read this book in less than two days. I couldn't stop reading it!! They are quit addicting.


Praying you have faith, hope, and love always,
