"Vanished" gives the reader the perspective from a Major General of the Army's Medical Department,  of a possible end times scenario.  He survived many pandemics including the Duck Flu, Monkeypox, RSV, Covid-19, and a new one that is a variation of SARSCoV-12.  The task force he was a member were facing a new pandemic unless they got control of it before it spread, so that means lockdowns.  The island of Crete was in a quarantine and then they found new cases inland in Italy, where he recruited his adult daughter to go with his team as an interpreter.  She went with but then when the heat was unbearable she convinced her father, Major General to visit a nearby cave to cool down.  Well, wouldn't you know an earthquake occurred and they were trapped for days, eventually rescued.  His daughter was severely injured with several broken ribs and internal bleeding. I couldn't help but think about an acquaintance I had briefly met in the Army on active duty, what his reaction would have been in that situation.  Then when they finally were rescued, found out that the quarantine was lifted and it had spread throughout the world, killing 1,043,666 people within six months. 

What is a double blessing?  God wants to bless you, beyond our ability to ask or imagine.  Blessings beyond wealth, health an prosperity but blessings of the spirit's fruit as it is written in Galations 5:22 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, gentleness and self-control.  Against such things there is no law."  God does not bless disobedience, pride, greed, or laziness and his blessing is not an immunity card, it will take sacrifice, a fair share of earthly suffering, but on the other side, a double blessing.  

Johnathan Cahn, a modern day prophet, author, and Rabbi from the Messianic Jewish faith share his insight into what is behind American prophesy for its place in the end times. He has written numerous books, some that I have read and some I hope to read in the future.  I will review the ones I have read.

This book will guide you on a  40-day spiritual journey to discover what God's purpose for your live is.  I read this book over 20 years ago and found it very motivational and transformational.  The wisdom shared is still true today as I am continuously being transformed to meet my purpose.  Join me as I walk through this book and find new hope, energy and joy.

The series is written as apocalyptic fiction written that follows events of the Bible, by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins. The story is built on what could happen in the world when the prophesy of the ending of the world and Jesus' return.  The details of the lives of ordinary people develops into an action packed series.
