    Against the backdrop of worldwide, unexplainable natural disasters, Dr. Virginia Marilyn Edwards (Emmy Award-winner Kerry Washington) seeks out Agent Scott Thomas (Emmy Award-winner Laurence Fishburne) at a secretive government headquarters. Virginia claims these events are signs, and unless Agent Thomas helps her, she believes things will only get worse. Her desperation is dialed up higher with a shocking proclamation as she stands before him pregnant, weak, and weary: “Agent Thomas,” she says, “I believe I am Mary.”

    Could she be the actual Virgin Mary? Could he be Doubting Thomas, whom she must convince? And what of the two other men - Jonah and Daniel - who have somehow found their way here as well and seem to hold fresh clues to this global mystery?

    Written by Randy McKinnon and produced by Audible, Simpson Street, and QCODE, this supernatural thriller boasts a star-studded cast that also features Critics Choice Award-winner David Oyelowo (Selma), Daniel Dae Kim (Lost), Asa Butterfield (Sex Education), and more. Follow the signs and take a leap of faith - before it’s too late.

Dear Listener,

Where did the idea for this story come from?
"The idea originated from my passion for stories from the Bible. Three of my favorites growing up were Jonah and the whale, Daniel in the lions' den, and the story of the Virgin Mary. Then, one afternoon, I saw a crazy news headline online that was followed by the comment: 'It must be the end of times.' I remember thinking, 'What if it was actually the beginning?' And my mind was off to the races." – Randy McKinnon, writer of The Prophecy

Absolutely excellent!!!

I thoroughly enjoyed the acting, but more than that, I fund myself intrigued by the storyline. I WANT to know what will occur next. I also appreciate the timeliness and parallels to current day. My husband has enjoyed listening, that is a huge compliment. I’m looking forward to more episodes.

Excellently woven tale.

I came for the amazing cast and stayed for the twisty plot that kept me wanting to find out what would happen next. Perfect for fans of Stigmata and apocalyptic stories.
