The companion guide to this book is meant to show you the source material of the story - the bible. If you're interested in learning about the verses I used pertaining to the tribulation period and millennial reign of Christ, read on! I will divide this out by chapter and reference only lines where I referenced scripture. I'll continue to update this guide as the story continues. Keep in mind that just because I'm giving you the verses here, doesn't mean it'll help you better understand the story. You could read through all these verses and still not understand what's going on.
All this does is show you the "source material". To have a better understanding of the story and ultimately what the bible says about these events and what it means, I encourage you to read through the story as I explain it in detail along the way or go to the previous chapter "Author's Note" to read articles I've written on this subject. I also understand that we don't all have the same interpretation of these verses (in terms of timing, how it'll take place, etc) so feel free to ask questions if you have any or want further clarification.
Prologue - Dream

2) "He approached the guard with tears streaming down his face. The guard grabs his hand and moved a small handheld device over it as he inspected it for something. He then moved it over his forehead...He took a look at the device, frowning. Negative. Where have you been old man? You should know we only give food to those with" - Revelation 13:16-17

4) "Afterwards, I heard a proclamation from on high, and to my dismay, discover that worse is yet to come, Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the remaining blasts of the trumpet of the three angels who are about to sound!" - Revelation 8:13
