The Copper Scroll by Joel Rosenberg

This is continuation of the end times books by Rosenberg. I think that I have read them in the past - the characters were familiar to me, but it has been awhile. He did a decent job of referring to what had happened before so that new readers would not be completely lost. It might have been annoying if I had read the books in succession.

This book focuses on prophecies in Ezekial and the possible outcomes of those. It would make a great action movie with near misses at every turn. The main characters are pulled in against their will, but believe that God had called them to do all they can. They are searching for the treasures listed on the copper scroll which was discovered during the time of the dead sea scrolls and really exists. It is fascinating to think that we are close to bringing some of these end times prophecies into being - just as God planned.

Something interesting. One of the characters mentions that Satan must have an AntiChrist in position in every generation since only God the Father knows when the second coming is happening. Satan does not know and must be ready to take power at any time. Interesting thought?
