2025: The Seals Break
2025: The Seals Break
Prologue
Alan Cross sat in the corner of his darkened apartment, Bible in hand, as the muffled sounds of sirens echoed through the streets. Outside, the city seemed alive with chaos, a cacophony of desperation and fear. Alan whispered a prayer, his words trembling in the quiet, and opened to the book of Revelation.
For months, the signs had been clear: wars, disease, betrayal, and upheaval. Alan knew the world had entered a period foretold in the Scriptures—the breaking of the seals, heralding the Great Tribulation. What lay ahead was uncertain, but his faith would guide him through the darkness.
Chapter 1: The Deadly Plague
The disease began as whispers and quickly became a roar. Streets emptied, bodies piled up, and trust evaporated. Alan found himself face-to-face with the horrors of a world ravaged by an invisible enemy. Whispers of biological weapons and conspiracy added to the fear. Still, Alan pressed on, determined to hold onto his faith as the sickness claimed those around him.
Chapter 2: Betrayal of the Church
The betrayal of the church hit Alan harder than the plague. Once a place of refuge, the church had become an instrument of oppression. Priests turned informants, handing over their flock to the authorities. Alan witnessed this betrayal firsthand and vowed never to step foot in a corrupted sanctuary again.
Chapter 3: The Fall of the Monarchy
As Alan struggled to survive, the world around him continued to crumble. In the United Kingdom, King Charles III was ousted in a stunning political coup, ending centuries of monarchy. The collapse symbolized the unraveling of global stability, leaving nations rudderless in the face of growing chaos.
Chapter 4: Biological Weapons and War
The whispers of biological warfare became grim reality. A devastating weapon unleashed chaos on a scale Alan could hardly comprehend. Cities were wiped out, their populations erased in moments. Alan stumbled upon the aftermath of such destruction and faced the horrifying truth: humanity was turning against itself in unimaginable ways.
Chapter 5: The Asteroid
By autumn, the sky itself became an enemy. A fiery trail announced the arrival of an asteroid, its impact shaking the earth and triggering tsunamis and earthquakes. Alan and a small group of survivors huddled together, clinging to their faith as the heavens seemed to fall around them.
Chapter 6: The Great Tribulation
The seals were broken. The Great Tribulation descended in full force, marked by war, famine, disease, and betrayal. Alan, leading a group of exiles in the wilderness, became a beacon of hope for the faithful. Though the world crumbled, Alan held fast to his belief that deliverance was near.
