The 12th Imam | James W. Parker
Four books.
One engineered apocalypse.
Biblical prophecy, Islamic eschatology, and global politics collide in a series unlike any other in end-times fiction.
Rise of the Antichrist
The Rapture was only the beginning.
A devastating attack. A nuclear explosion. And then, millions vanish. As global systems realign, a new leader rises from the Middle East, bringing unity where there was division. Many believe he is the world’s only hope. Others aren’t so sure.
Prophecy and technology collide as a small group begins to understand what’s coming. They won’t be able to stop it. But they may be able to survive it.
The Tribulation Begins
The world didn’t end. It stabilized.
Order has been restored. Nations have united. For the first time in generations, the world is experiencing peace. But peace can be engineered.
In Jerusalem, the Temple is rebuilt. And beyond it all, a new city emerges: Bavilim, a global seat of power where everything, and everyone, is connected.
The Judgments of God
When deception reigns, judgment falls.
The world has made its choice. Soon, God will make His. The Mahdi rules from Bavilim with absolute authority, and refusal to accept his mark is no longer an act of conscience. It is a death sentence.
But a remnant refuses to kneel. As armies gather and alliances fracture, heaven and earth move toward their final confrontation.
Prelude to Deception
Before the world believes, the deception must begin.
What if the events of Revelation didn’t begin centuries from now, but through decisions being made today? From secret war rooms to quiet Sunday drives, this deeply human prelude traces the final days before global upheaval.
A layered, intimate look at the people unknowingly drawn into the coming darkness.
Why Bavilim?
Before Babylon had its name, it had another. Bab-ilim: the gate of the gods.
In the world of The 12th Imam, the city rising at the center of the new order does not take a new name. It takes back its oldest one.
Some names are not invented. They are remembered.
Every path begins with Book 1.
