* PrecisionFStrike: There is exactly one instance of the word in "The Omega Legacy". Incongruously, it is said by Ithuriel, a reconstructed Angel who otherwise sounds extremely prim and proper, when he tells Tsion Ben-Judah to shut up if all he's going to do is shout over people rather than have a civilized debate. Note that "The Omega Legacy" is about 600 pages long.

* TheDarkChick: Quinn. She is not a nice person, struggles with substance abuse throughout her life and unlife, and ultimately becomes a hero of Humanity because at that point in time it was convenient to have her be represented as a martyr for the cause, rather than for much in the way of personal merit. Nevertheless, she does her job with competence, most of the time.

* {{Asexuality}}: The relationship of the "glorifieds" with "naturals" and with each other, mostly due to the nature of their new bodies and minds. A number of MEC troopers also become asexual due to endocrine or neurological damage (others suffer the opposite effect).

* {{Defictionalization}}: The CellSol network now exists as a not-for-profit open design at http://f3.to/cellsol/

* PyrrhicVictory: Many, on every side. One of the Omega sysadmins manages to finally produce a semi-sentient spider tank, only to see it stolen. TOL succeeds in taking the Russian and East African territories, but by then it's too late for them to do anything with it other than roll their army through it. Even God Himself manages to make everything work out to His satisfaction, only to find Himself playing through a slightly different versions of the White Throne Judgement for eternity while post-humanity heads for the stars.

* TheCameo: Most Literature/LeftBehind characters show up, however briefly, with the conspicuous exception of Rayford Steele. Given his canon MartyStu status, as well as his advanced age, this is likely intentional.

* CrapsaccharineWorld: The world of the Millennium in general. On one hand, there is no disease, almost no accidental death, and no danger except for that which The Other Light and The Omega bring into play. On the other, it's terminally boring, and exists under an undefeatable dictatorship. The sky is perpetually blue, so say goodbye to starry nights. Most everyone has to wear sunglasses during the day due to the Sun and Moon's extra power output. With very few exceptions, everybody is an obligate vegetarian. Every mountain and most interesting geographical features on Earth have been flattened by Jesus at the beginning of the story. In the last part of the Millennium, faithful believers with a Natural bodies are trapped in extremely aged bodies but are unable to die. Finally, TheEmpire formed by the various territorial governments loyal to Greater Jerusalem is literally run by OmniscientMoralityLicense.

* DontCallMeIshmael: The commander of a hidden base of The Only Light is named Ishmael. He doesn't do much.

* GaidenGame: This, to the Literature/LeftBehind series. The story parallels that of the last book in the series, down to the CurbStompBattle, but significantly expands on the universe. Tripocalypse is an alternate interpretation of the Millennial Kingdom.

* WeddingDay: Played with near the end. Ryan Andrews and Tethys, two bitter rivals in the development of two societies of semi-aquatic humans, end up getting married on the day when they board the colony spaceship: turns out that throughout their conflict they developed a mutual respect that, due to their massive egos, they could not share with anyone else. Averted in most other cases.

The corpus of the work consists of a RPG worldbook, a strategy game ("quest") run on 4chan which includes rules for replaying it, and a few short stories and novellas (including at least one example of RecursiveFanfiction ).

In the first branch, "Tripocalypse", a second global earthquake restores the world's mountains and valleys as they were (and further wrecks the infrastructure) while great ion storms make a significant fraction of the Earth uninhabitable... while the removal of the Big God from the chessboard, however temporary, allows the older SmallGods to make their return. This, plus the lack of a consensus over just what the heck happened, makes sure that TheMagicComesBack within a few years.

* HappilyEverAfter: For the believers, who get to go to Heaven, and the space colonists, who get to reach Alpha Centauri and keep Humanity alive. Most everyone else goes to Hell. God Himself ends up continuing the Judgement for eternity, according to His own wishes.

* [[SatanIsGood Lucifer Is Good]]: The viewpoint of the Other Light faction. The Omega end up deciding early on that Satan is an IneffectualVillain at best or a mole in God's employ at worst; while they fail to assassinate him, they manage to keep him irrelevant.

* {{Zeerust}}: Intentionally invoked. Since in-universe the Rapture happened in the late 1990s, technology has developed differently - for instance, computer graphics and machine vision are less advanced than they are in real life, while digital signal processing for sound and ultrasound is more advanced. Since the original work invokes ModernStasis for the entire 1000-year reign, this is specifically noted to be intentional.

* ShoutOut: Law enforcement agencies loyal to the New Jerusalem Government share the same uniforms and communication protocols with [[VideoGame/XCOM2 ADVENT Soldiers]].

* ShoutOut: Law Enforcement agencies loyal to the New Jerusalem Government share the same uniforms and communication protocols with [[VideoGame/XCOM2 ADVENT Soldiers]].

The two alternate timelines are linked, in that "Flipside" (the Millennial Kingdom) is a liminality within Tripocalypse Earth, and the occasional piece of technology in that time line makes its way back to the Kingdom.

* AgeWithoutYouth: Happens to all Natural protagonists in the final two centuries of the Millennium, in which they are stuck in extremely aged bodies but unable to die until the Millennium is finished. Some, like Chain Rosenzweig, use orthotics or prosthetics to get around and remain relevant to the story.

* [[GratuitousForeignLanguage Gratuitous Hebrew]]: What everyone is speaking in the Millennial Kingdom, though for the sake of the players it's all translated into English.

* RootingForTheEmpire: A curious example of subversion, since the original work's author wants to depict the theocratic global government as good and LaResistance as evil. The person running the game flips this back on its head again. What RecursiveFanfiction exists is (intentionally) ambiguous about it.
