Series: Christ Clone Trilogy # 2

In 2019, China, India, and Pakistan finally break into the war that everyone has been expecting for decades. The death toll in the one- day debacle will probably reach billions once the aftermath of radiation and feral animals occurs.
In Jerusalem, John the Apostle born during the First coming leads over one hundred thousand Messianic Jews with extraordinary super powers. He joins forces with powerful Hassidic Rabbi Saul Cohen and their followers soon cause asteroids to crash into the already damaged planet as John plans the beginning of the apocalypse. Locust, plagues, and famine are becoming the order of the day, as the end of time seems imminent for those left behind.
Humanity’s only hope is in God’s son, Christopher Goodman, but is he really the second coming since he was actually scientifically cloned from cells found on the Shroud of Turin (see IN HIS IMAGE). However, after consulting with his father and studying the bible, Christopher must do the impossible and remain patient for the right moment to intercede though many die and most suffer.
The second novel in the "Christ Clone" trilogy is an exciting, extremely complex tale that continues the theme from the first tale of blending science with the End of Days predictions of Revelations. The story is very complicated, but it will help the audience to understand this book better if the first novel is read before this enthralling tale. Though some Christian readers will object to elements in the series, most of the Left Behind crowd and those readers who enjoy apocalypse tales like The Prophet series will appreciate James Beauseigneur’s novels and look forward to the conclusion.
