Uriah, however, was unwilling to violate the ancient kingdom rule applying to warriors in active service which said that they had to refrain from carnal pleasures and sleeping under their own roof. In an effort to conceal his sin, David summoned Uriah from the army, hoping that he would go to bed with Bathsheba to…er…cover things up nicely. A king has its rights – Bathsheba was brought to the royal palace asap and she was impregnated by the happy king while her hubby fought for David abroad. I suppose he was at the peak of his male menopause – anyway he coveted her rather badly. King David saw her from his balcony while she was bathing in her private garden. As Armageddon descends, Father Chris finds that his only hope lies in a young woman within the group who has a secret gift – and their belief that God Himself may have sent her to keep the final angelic trumpet from sounding out the early end of the Earth.īathsheba, the wife of Uriah the Hittite, was a very beautiful woman. As they travel across continents on their mission, the demonic force follows relentlessly, waiting in every shadowed corner, and every dark place. They are not alone, however an evil as old as time itself hunts them. He is joined by a band of unlikely allies, and together they find themselves in Rome above the Vatican Necropolis – the city of the dead – where the future is revealed to them in ancient texts. Suddenly, Chris finds himself fighting against time and hell to keep the prophecies in order and stop an early Armageddon. The final battle is coming too soon – long before humanity is prepared to win it. While the killing seems isolated at first, the society ties the murder to the final Biblical prophecy and a terrifying omen that the order of the prophecies is about to be disrupted. The society asks Chris to investigate an unusually grotesque crime – a murder on a college campus where the killer’s hand literally burned off the victim’s face. 2,000 years later, Father Chris Mognahan is a member of the Hetairia Melchizedek, a secret society within the Catholic Church that studies Biblical omens. Each angel waits to sound their trumpet at God’s appointed time, preparing humanity to fight and win the final battle. He dreams of the final prophecies that will come to pass – and the seven archangels that guard them. In the Book of Revelation, a man named John has a prophetic dream.
