LONGWOOD, FL-In the riveting end-time novel Tribulation Road (paperback, 978-1-60266-042-7), first-time author Joy Ross explores relevant themes such as the redemption of the elect, God's judgment on an unbelieving world, and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Amid the destructive forces of meteors and fire bombarding the earth, Tyrus Ponte, the devil incarnate, is making the most of his three and a half years to try and get everyone to receive his mark, 666, in their flesh. Earth's inhabitants are subjected to the sting of scorpion-tailed locusts for five cruel months, and elephant-sized horses carrying a hideous creature from the abyss decimate their share of the human prize. In Jerusalem, Asher Ya'ari receives a commission from a heavenly visitor to warn people to "repent for the kingdom of God is soon at hand."
Says Ross, "I hope my readers will see how the prophetic verses of Revelation are grounded in the Old Testament prophets-that the verses of Revelation are the skeleton, so to speak, and the verses from the prophets are the sinew, muscle, skin, and hair that bring the skeleton alive. I have always seen history and the future as one complete story. I can't see Genesis without Revelation and vice-versa. I have written this novel in that same manner."
The series of events leading up to the Second Coming are among the most talked about in history. Ross has organized her eschatological findings into a biblical "roadmap" for the sequence of end-time events. The scholarly yet chilling story will resonate with both believers and unbelievers looking for answers to the enigmatic conclusion of humanity's time on earth.
Joy Ross is a wife, mother of four grown children, and grandmother of three. She has done extensive research in the field of biblical prophecy, including a trip to Israel.
