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. 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.
