Apollyon

Apollyon is the fifth installment in the Left Behind series, which blends end-times prophecy with fiction. Tim LaHaye wrote it with Jerry B. Jenkins, who co-wrote the series. The novel follows the Tribulation Force as its members travel to Israel for the Meeting of Witnesses, even as new judgments fall on the world.

The story reaches a dramatic point when Satan is cast down from heaven and unseals the bottomless pit. From it emerges Apollyon, leading a swarm of locusts that torment those who have not been saved.

Readers who enjoy suspense with a spiritual, prophetic framework will find the pace of this installment engaging.
