As the world heads for the midpoint of the Tribulation, with the Sixth Bowl Judgment taking place, Rayford Steele and Hattie Durham are both seeking revenge against Nicolae Carpathia and are fixing to kill him. Nicolae himself is planning to deal with both the Two Witnesses whose days of prophesying are coming to a close, and with Enigma Babylon One World Faith spiritual leader Peter Mathews, who was inciting insurrection against Carpathia in an attempt to overthrow him.
