From the Back Cover
Antichrist invades, desecrates Jerusalem temple. Global Community choice: loyalty mark or guillotine. Pandemic sweeps city; masses writhe.
As the Tribulation Force prepares to guide Israeli exiles to refuge in Petra, Global Community supreme ruler Nicolae Carpathia--now fully possessed by Satan--desecrates the temple in Jerusalem and installs himself as god. All must accept Carpathia's loyalty mark or die, while a terrible plague sweeps through the city. At first these events seem unrelated, but the Trib Force knows better. They are carrying out the will of the true God--blatantly defying Carpathia. But one mistake could bring crushing failure.
Desecration, the best-selling novel in the world the year it was released, is #9 in the phenomenal
New York Times best-selling Left Behind series that rocked the publishing world and made millions think seriously about the future and their places in it.
