1000

By Salem Kirban

Following the events included in the novel 666, this story, 1000, is the epic about the events during the rule and reign by Jesus Christ on this earth during the thousand-year-reign call the Millennium. The events follow up the 7 years of horrible suffering and destruction laid out by Brother Bartholomew, the Anti-christ. Jesus Christ takes his rightful place in Jerusalem as King on earth. Satan has been bound throughout these 1000 years, but there are those who survived the tribulation period on earth and will be characters that interact with those who have returned victoriously to earth with Jesus. These "living believers" as they are called will exist with those "resurrected believers" who had been taken out of this earth during the tribulation period. This book is designed to present a factual view of the events that take place following the judgment of this earth by God Himself and to outline the time of peace that will exist as Satan's influences have been removed. Ultimately, however, Satan will have one last attempt at thwarting God's plan as he is released at the end of the Millennium period and for a short time seeks to lead a rebellion against Jesus.

The other half of "666"

Salem Kirban's only attempts at fiction, "666" and "1000" are not as finely polished as the "Left Behind" novels, but still very readable. "1000" covers the period =after= the "Left Behind" series - and features George and his wife Helen (who is one of the ones taken in the Rapture). This book is one person's vision of the Millennium period after the Second Coming of Christ. The parallels between these books and the "Left Behind" novels are very striking. The story starts on a airplane. The husband is "left behind" and the wife and children raptured. George is quickly catapulted into direct confrontation with the Anti-Christ and his minions. But that's not all - if you can find one of the combination books you'll even be able to read about the millennium period and what might happen during that time. Kirban's position as a born-again Arab really shine through in places. Kirban is not a novelist, though ... There are many places where an editor might have caught the fact that Kirban switches between first person and third person perspective without warning. There are other editorial mistakes, but not enough to make me want to put this book down until I had read it through.But I won't ruin the whole novel here - just recommend that if you like the "Left Behind" books that this is a "must read"!
