The Image — M. Sue Alexander

The seven-years of biblical tribulation on earth plays out as God judges earth and humankind for failing to recognize His Son Jesus. The Committee of Ten, overseeing the international banking system, is in trouble now that Christians have established Chris-bits to transact business over the Net. Satan, spirit and human as the Antichrist, suffers with physical limitations in the body. Determined to sit in the Holy of Holies in the Jewish Tribulation Temple in Jerusalem, he wants to receive praise as the god of the universe. Meanwhile, Mary and husband Andrew are at odds. Constantly apart, their marriage suffers. Mary worries about her son, Pope Andre. Is Satan manipulating him for nefarious purposes? Is Andre the False Prophet of the Bible? Is there any hope for his salvation? Her pregnancy does not stop her from forging forward with plans to save Andre. A Catholic Conclave is underway to depose Pope Andre, but the Image intervenes. Who would have guessed even twenty years ago that a genetic lab could create a human robot, so real, it could think and talk. Well, meet Xyrox. He is both scary and imposing. God's angels have begun to dispense The Seven Bowl Judgments. Based on the Book of Revelation and Old Testaments prophets, this storyline becomes real as the End of Time approaches and Jesus triumphantly returns to Earth.
