This book was good, but it was a little slower moving than I liked. I thought that the resurrection of Carpathia would've taken place a little bit earlier in the book, as well, instead of at the end. ( )

This book got more interesting in the last half. It was mainly about the believers making connections with other believers and trying to stay alive, and losing a few people they had grown to know, respect and love, which kept up the suspense in-between boring dialogs, and made you want to continue to the next chapter. Still, just a 3-star. The ending of how the Antichrist came back to life fell a bit short for me, although still interesting how they framed it out in their view.

Nicolae’s body was placed in an airtight plexiglass viewing box for the world to see and witness and worship for three days before his burial. Millions of people gathered from all over the globe to pay respects. But, as the Bible says, he came back to life. It’s also interesting how Tsion Ben-Judah sees a vision in his dream while in the cosmos of how Satan is cast out of Heaven for good during the Tribulation. Of course, we won’t know for sure how all that plays out until that day comes. I sure hope I'm not here!

Now that Satan is here on earth working through Nicolae's body, and is alive and well in New Babylon where there are still a few Christian insurrgents working for the GC as watchmen undercover, it will be interesting to see how, or if, they will make it out of New Babylon. It doesn't seem like they will be able to keep up their secret for very much longer.

...onto the last book in the series: #8 - The Mark ( )

For about the first half of the Indwelling, there is regrouping after the crisis. They are living crisis to crisis, but this was a big one and everyone is trying to get home. New believers are coming home. Rayford is coming to his senses.

Then the book begins to slowly increase in tension until the end.

And it explodes. ( )
