Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The Antichrist is dead. Or is he? The city of Chicago lies in ruins. The safe house is blown, and the Global Community police are hot on the heels of the Tribulation Force. And who assassinated Nicolae Carpathia?
It's a formidable challenge to keep an audience's attention midway through a projected 12-volume series, but with its trademark blend of humour and gripping suspense, authors Jerry Jenkins and Tim LaHaye continue to captivate readers in The Indwelling, the seventh instalment of the Left Behind series.
Carpathia's funeral takes a hair-raising turn for the four million people who attend. Over the crowd looms the centrepiece of a new world religion, a 24-foot bronze statue of Carpathia, belching black smoke and demanding obedience. Woven through the fast-paced drama are the ongoing stories of people struggling amidst the mayhem. Chloe Williams wrestles with the moral implications of whether to kill her toddler Kenny to avoid having him fall into enemy hands; her father Rayford Steele is brought face-to-face with the consequences of his pride; Dr. Chaim Rosenzweig, a prominent Jewish Israeli statesman, ponders a conversion to Christianity.
The strength of the series is in Jenkins' ability to keep the action moving and readers caring about the characters. And there's a hook: the end of The Indwelling promises "If the last three and a half years are your idea of tribulation, wait until you endure the Great Tribulation." The bad news is just beginning. But, the Tribulation Force believes, the good news is also on the way. --Cindy Crosby--Amazon.com --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
Synopsis
The second half of the seven-year Tribulation era begins as Rayford, Buck, Chloe, and the other members of the Tribulation Force reveal who killed Nicolae as the time of God's judgement approaches.

The Left Behind books are the best books I have ever read. They have you not wanting to put the book down as you are desperate to read what happens next. Not being a great reader, I was astonished at myself completing each book in around 2 to 3 days each. This series is a must, you won't be able to put them down.

This is the seventh book in the Left Behind series. The last book ended with the so-called Antichrist being assassinated and us not sure who was responsible. Here we begin with an influx of 4 million people into New Babylon to morn the passing of Carpathia.
His body is laid in state within a vacuum-sealed Plexiglas coffin. So all may pass and view him. His funeral is set up three days after his death. While the millions who are present watch along with the world on a non-stop TV broadcast, Carpathia rises from the dead. This is where the title of the book comes from, for Carpathia is now suppose to be the indwelt, Satan incarnate.
Carpathia breaks his way out of his sealed coffin to stand in front of the multitude. He stands and starts by using the very words of Jesus, and then switches to those of his own. Warning that all who do not worship him will know that a Tribulation is truly coming.
Mean while, the Tribulation Force members are doing all they can to get back to their home base in the USA. A home base that has been compromised. We watch the race between them race against the GC Peace Keeping forces.
I would like again like to add, that this is not a series you could pick up in the middle. This book will not stand-alone. And though the writing is not the best, it still makes you want to see what comes next.

Having recently read Glen Kelier's The Last Day I am reinsured of the intensity and reality of this series. Revelation has obviously been studied carefully and this is the author's interpretation it has helped me think about revelation for myself. I read The Last Day expecting simular reading but got new messiahs and warped use of the bible. Defiently the better read!
