About this listen

Today the news is filled with accounts of the rising tide of Islamic governments across the Middle East based on Sharia law leading into an Islamic caliphate. Iran is now closer than ever to developing a nuclear weapon, and Muslim terrorism against the United States is increasing as the events in Benghazi have shown.

Against this backdrop, in the not too distant future, Iran has successfully developed several nuclear bombs and decided to use them against Israel and the West.

The attack goes better than planned as the nuclear attacks coincide with the biblical event known as the Rapture, which devastates America, but leaves the Muslim world virtually untouched due to the small number of Christians within their borders.

This disparity now leaves the Islamic countries in a perfect situation to continue their move to take over the world and to unite it under Islam. Iran receives unexpected help from the Mahdi, the long awaited Islamic messiah, whose coming was predicted 1,200 years ago.

The 12th Imam is based on actual prophecies found in biblical, Jewish, and Islamic writings that parallel each other making for an exciting read leaving one to wonder how much is fiction and how much is soon to be reality.

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 will 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 12th Imam: Rise of the Antichrist is a fast-paced thriller that will keep the listener on a roller-coaster ride that never slows down. The book is not your normal work of Christian end-times nonfiction. 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 sixth 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 seven years at the end of time. Antichrist?
  • Many Shiites believe they can hurry his return by destroying Israel.
  • Islamic details about the 12th Imam line up with Bible's 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.

Thought provoking

This book described the Rapture so well it made me think about how it would be if it happened today. It made me think about how following the wrong leader could cause so many people to be left behind (as the book described) and it has me looking at my own religious/spiritual leaders. This book has me thinking a lot more about my soul and the need to be careful of false leaders.

This book presents a very plausible scenario

I enjoyed this book. Though some folk might not like the direction it takes for the origin of the Antichrist; it is very plausible.

I thought the reader did a nice job overall and really liked the different voices he used for the various characters and their nationalities. That said, there were a few spots where a little more "umph" could have been used in the reading. But, not a big deal.

I liked the stories of the people who interacted with Christians before the rapture and what was happening to them afterward.

What I liked the most about this story is the stand it takes on Salvation through Christ alone. In fact, there is a good presentation of the Gospel at the end of the book that I find to be missing from many books in the genre of Christian Fiction.

Good job Mr. Parker. Thanks for your work and I look forward to following this story to it's conclusion.
