Description

In a story ripped from today’s headlines, Iran has launched a nuclear attack on Israel and the Great Satan, the United States.

The president of Iran has little idea that his grand plan would initiate a series of events that fulfills prophecies in both Islamic and Christian holy writings. The return of the Islamic Messiah, the one the Bible calls the Antichrist, is imminent. The missiles go astray and destroy the Dome of the Rock. While the Israeli attack fails, Iranian agents succeed in destroying the nation’s capital as well as several American cities. At the same time, Christians are removed from the earth in a mass exodus.

The 12th Imam, the long awaited Islamic Messiah, returns from the Jamkaran well, from a slumber of nearly 1,200 years. These events unite Jewish, Islamic and the remaining Christian adherents as each of their end-times writings converge on a single individual.

The Twelfth Imam: Rise of the Antichrist is a fast-paced thriller that will keep the reader on a rollercoaster ride that never slows down. The book is not your normal work of Christian end-times non-fiction.

Its doomsday premise is based not just on real-world events, but actual threat assessments from national security experts and think tanks regarding scenarios that can plunge America back to the dark ages.

•About 1.8 billion live under Islam, the second largest religion.•Islam has been trying to take over the world since Mohamed established it in the 6th century.

•Shia Islam, Iran being one of the largest Shiite countries, believes in a coming Islamic Messiah, the 12th Imam, who will come and rule the world for 7 years at the end of time.

•Many Shiites believe they can hurry his return by destroying Israel.

•Islamic details about the 12th Imam line up with Bible details about the Antichrist.

•Could the Religion of the Antichrist be with us already?

James Parker has taken the well-established Bible doctrine of the rapture and presented it with a fresh look by tying it to Islamic end-time prophesies.

Parker has shown there is a clear Islamic connection to Christian end-time prophesies regarding the antichrist. His first novel is a fast-paced political action thriller that will appeal to religious and secular lovers of mystery and mayhem.

The action takes place mostly in New York City and the Islamic countries of the Middle East.

Parker skillfully weaves together end times theology from the three great Abrahamic religions – Judaism, Christianity, and Islam – and explores a maze of ancient prophecies that, if unchecked, might lead to “the end of days.”

"James W. Parker has taken the well-established Bible doctrine of the rapture and presented it with a fresh look by tying it to Islamic end-time prophesies. While most end-time novels focus on the traditional narrative first established in the 1970's, Parker has shown there is a clear Islamic connection to Christian end-time prophesies regarding the Antichrist.

His approach is in keeping with the scriptures, and his approach feels as if it is taken right from the newspapers of today. We are currently seeing the rise of Islam with attempts to establish a one world caliphate along with the rise of extremists in countries such as Egypt, Syria, Libya and others. This, along with attempts to establish Sharia law in the US court system and in towns like Dearborn, Michigan makes the 12th Imam's premise seem very plausible indeed.

James W. Parker's first novel is a fast-paced political action thriller that will appeal to religious and secular lovers of mystery and mayhem.

The action takes place mostly in New York City, Florida, Colorado, Israel and the Islamic countries of the Middle East.

Dan Kane- Author

James Parker has been a faithful member of Liberty Baptist Church of Las Vegas, for many years. He is a committed Christian with a great working knowledge of the Word of God. His new book The Twelfth Imam, though fictitious is based on solid Bible teaching concerning the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. I believe this book will be an encouragement to many Christians and hopefully encourage those who do not know Christ to make a personal commitment to Him.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading The Twelfth Imam: Rise of the Antichrist. The biblical premise and creative way in which the author wove Bible truth into his intriguing story, was not only entertaining but also challenging. We do not know exactly what will take place when the Anti-Christ is revealed, but it was intriguing to look into this future event through the eyes of the author. I recommend this book to anyone interested in biblical prophecy and who believes that the Word of God is to be interpreted literally.

Sincerely,

David Teis

Pastor, Liberty Baptist Church

Following is from the official OnlineBookClub.org review of ""The 12th Imam: Rise of the Antichrist"" by James W, Parker.

This book is quite unique from any other end time's books that I have ever read. the author pulls together the prophecies from both Christianity and Islam and weaves quite the interesting tale of what could happen in the Last days of planet Earth. I would not have thought it possible that the two would mesh together, but Mr. Parker does a fine job of pulling it off."
