false 27528 19 Antichrist. The very word send shivers through us. And Nicolae Carpathia certainly does not disappoint as Antichrist. <I>Nicolae</I> is the third book in <I>Left Behind</I> series written by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins, and is preceded by book one, <i>Left Behind</i>, and book two, <i>Tribulation Force</i>.<p> Nicolae Carpathia becomes the focus as he continues to consolidate his power, unifying political states ("Global Community"), media ("Global Community Network," "Global Weekly"), and religions ("Enigma Babylon One World Faith") under a Nicolae-appointed supreme pontiff. Nicolae himself is grand potentate of the global community.<p> Our heroes, pilot Rayford Steele and journalist Buck Williams, along with the rest of the Tribulation Force, continue their struggle to survive and protect their families in the midst of global war and destruction. They have come to recognize Nicolae Carpathia to be the Antichrist prophesied in the Bible, and to them it comes as no great revelation that this man, who presented himself as a charming and benevolent leader, has been unmasked as a ruthless and cruel tyrant, manipulating people and events to serve his own ends. And his ends are undoubtedly evil.<p> It becomes apparent that the chaos and turmoil created by Nicolae are the fulfillment of John's prophesy of the seven seals as recorded in the book of Revelation. And it becomes also apparent they are now facing the sixth seal, a great earthquake which is sometimes called "the wrath of the lamb." This upheaval of the earth, with its accompanying death and destruction, is familiar apocalyptic imagery: a blood-red moon, a sun turned black, and the stars falling from the sky. And the Tribulation Force discovers that these incredible descriptions turn out to be not so very far from the truth.<p> Who survives? How? What does Nicolae have in mind for the world? Readers of the first two books should not be disappointed with this third installment to this chilling tale. 534981 1997 Nicolae: The Rise of Antichrist (Left Behind #3) total:4684|5:1463|4:1529|3:1177|2:366|1:149| 4684 17843 5691 133 27528 078622469X 9780786224692 4228 120 3.81 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27528.Nicolae_The_Rise_of_Antichrist 5 1 false Sun Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2006 Mon Dec 15 15:29:37 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 15 15:31:18 -0800 2008 27528 078622469X 9780786224692 4228 120 3.81 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27528.Nicolae_The_Rise_of_Antichrist 3 1 false Fri Feb 06 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 02 04:07:34 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 06 04:25:09 -0800 2009 27528 078622469X 9780786224692 4228 120 3.81 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27528.Nicolae_The_Rise_of_Antichrist 2 2 false Sun Feb 15 20:42:49 -0800 2009 Sun Mar 08 03:54:28 -0700 2009 more...]]> 27528 078622469X 9780786224692 4228 120 3.81 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27528.Nicolae_The_Rise_of_Antichrist 4 0 false Fri Jul 18 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Jul 18 20:00:49 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 28 04:47:38 -0700 2008 more...]]> 27528 078622469X 9780786224692 4228 120 3.81 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27528.Nicolae_The_Rise_of_Antichrist 4 1 false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Sep 09 18:17:22 -0700 2007 Mon Sep 24 05:54:14 -0700 2007
