Joel's life is filled with new friends as he becomes a part of a group of Christians led by an older, dynamic, but humble man. As the world events unfold, his new friends begin to question if Iraq's Prime Minister Abboud-Qayyum is the Antichrist. To support their speculation, the prophet Asim Asad appears in Yemen to declare that Abdul-Qayyum is the final prophet that the Muslim world has awaited.
World politics are changing. The New European Union is called to intervene to avert an impending war that Egypt, Syria, and Lebanon want to bring against Israel. When the New European Union peace talks fail, Prime Minister Abdul-Qayyum forms alliances with the countries around Iraq to help defend Israel.
As it becomes more evident that a one-world system is falling into place, the Christians Joel has become a part of transform into the "Community," a lifestyle of living together in households. They realize that they will need each other to face the ramifications of the Antichrist coming into his position of being a world leader. Part of their preparations are underground bunkers and stockpiled provisions. So, read Joel's chronicle to see how this, and more, unfolds in Joel's life.
