THE SHOWDOWN OF THE AGES APPROACHES
It Has Been Foretold for Over Two Thousand Years
The Armageddon Trilogy puts together the story that the Revelation and the Prophets reveal. Fictitious characters act out the sequential scenarios against the prophetic background laid down in the scriptures. The story covers seven years of earth’s history written in advance. J. E. Becker put it into this form to show how close we are to their fulfillment. All three books tell the story in favor of the Jewish people’s point of view (the good guys), even though you, the reader, will also see the point of view of their opponents.
Book 1: The Beginning of the End sets up the whole series by introducing the main characters, and the events that set off the judgments of God. The book begins with the Jews and the Palestinians settling their differences, by a covenant signed in Washington, DC. Jewish witnesses, called supernaturally to prepare the Jewish people and the Gentiles for the coming kingdom of God, begin to minister. Two Satanic powers rise up to counter this ministry. A romantic theme begins between an American Jewess, Rachel, and David, a young Israeli Captain in the Israeli Defense Force. The book covers approximately one and a half years of the seven years of the tribulation, ending at the going forth of the second horseman in Revelation six. For more about this first book, see the writing on the back cover of the published book, below.
Book 2: The Sign of the End continues the story, showing the rise to power of Pope Peter II, and his ongoing conflict with the “Lamb of Godders”―a name given to the converts of the Jewish witnesses. They are stealing his sheep. How can he become the head of the great Kingdom of God, promised him by the Virgin Mary, if the Lamb of Godders keep winning Catholics to their cause by their ‘false miracles’? Meanwhile, the Temple construction, a concession given to the Jews in their covenant with the Palestinians, continues. Leucus Adoni΄(a Lebanese business man who had persuaded the Palestinians to give the gift of Temple Mount land to the Jews, to gain concessions for the Palestinians), begins his bid for power. He overthrows one leader by war and another by seduction. Trouble in paradise begins between David and Rachel, when a difference over religion troubles their marriage plans. The Jews perform their first ceremonial Yom Kippur since 70 AD. The starving Russian nation, severely injured by nuclear war, strips the Middle East like locusts. As it approaches Jerusalem, G-d intervenes in a spectacular way. This book covers the rest of the first half of the prophetic week of years. It also sees the anointing of two witnesses, who have powers like those given to Elijah and Moses. G-d raised them up to announce his judgments to those following Adoni΄, who has just proclaimed himself God. (This book is ready to go to the publisher.)
Book 3: The End and a New Beginning covers the rest of the story, showing Adoni΄’s bid for complete power over the world. He breaks the covenant with the Jews, stops the daily sacrifice, and begins to persecute the ones faithful to G-d. He rations the disappearing food supply, by requiring a mark of allegiance to him, for all buying and selling. Each time he commits crimes against God’s people, the witnesses proclaim a disaster, just as Moses did against Pharaoh. After seven terrible judgments fall, he kills the witnesses. In answer to this, The Moshiach comes with power and great glory to destroy this “Beast”, and his army. Once His angels gather G-d’s enemies into prisons, the Messiah gathers all the living who opposed him, to a great judgment. The first to be condemned are the adherents of the Beast’s rule, then the nations that are left, destroying all non-believers, so he can begin his new kingdom on earth without resistance. He even locks up Satan until the end of the thousand years.
Epilogue: A short glimpse of the thousand-year rest and peace on earth, along with a look at the Messiah’s new temple, ends the Trilogy. (This book is under rewrite and critique.)
The back cover of The Beginning of the End
Some, like Rachel Leiberman and her papa, Lubavitch Jews, fervently look for their Moschiach, believing it is the time for his appearance. Others, like David Solomon, a young captain in the Israeli IDF, expect G-d to fulfill his prophecies to Israel. Still others, like the Jewish priesthood, long to rebuild the temple and reinstate the ancient rituals.
Another religious people, the Arabs, struggle with the Jews for the mastery of the land. The nations strive to bring the two to peace after a short nuclear exchange.* The pope sees the outcome of this peace as the bringing in of the kingdom of God on earth with himself at the head.
Readers will be captivated by this prophetic story of the end times, as the President of the United States struggles with the effects of the constant night that is the result of an off-course asteroid tumbling dangerously close to Earth.
Although fiction, the background truths of J.E. Becker’s The Beginning of the End: The Armageddon Trilogy are based on the author’s exposition Rightly Dividing the Book of Revelation, produced after forty-eight years of study. No one but God knows the perfect truth about the end, but Becker’s trilogy will hit somewhere in the ballpark.
J. E. Becker, born in the early 1930s, has watched the world prepare the stages for its own end. Graduating from Marietta College in 1953 with a BS in Geology prepared her for her first work, an exposition of the book of Revelation. In it she gives a unique contribution to the field of prophecy when she explains how awesome heavenly interferences cause the physical judgments. Then perceiving the Church’s overall confusion and reluctance to study prophecy, she opted to put it into story form. Becker is the mother of five, grandmother of seventeen, and great grandmother of thirty-two. She has been a Bible teacher for most of her life.
*Isaiah predicts in chapter seventeen that Damascus will become “a ruinous heap”. Curious, as this city boasts to being the oldest continuously inhabited capital city in the world, second only to Alleppo, which is not a capital. Isaiah also predicts that the “fortress” in Ephraim will cease in this conflict. The original word in Hebrew for fortress can be translated “the defender”. Both the headquarters of the Israeli Defense Force and the entire Department of Defense for the nation Israel are in Tel Aviv.
