The end isn't coming.
It's being engineered.
A devastating attack. A nuclear explosion. And then, millions vanish. For those left behind, the answers aren’t political. They’re biblical.
It began in an instant.
Planes fall from the sky. Cities spiral into chaos. And from the Middle East, a new leader rises: calm, decisive, impossible to ignore.
Many believe he is the world’s only hope. Others aren’t so sure.
