Every book starts with a question that won’t leave you alone. For The End Times 2032, that question was this: what would it actually feel like to be left behind?

Not theologically. Not abstractly. But physically, emotionally, in the middle of an ordinary Tuesday – to watch millions of people simply vanish, and to be one of the ones still standing when it happens.

I sat with that question for a long time before I wrote a single word. Because I knew that if I was going to write about the Rapture and the Great Tribulation, I couldn’t write it from the outside. I had to write it from the inside – through a character who feels the full weight of what’s happening, who doesn’t have all the answers, and who has to find faith in the most extreme circumstances imaginable.

The Research

Biblical prophecy fiction demands deep research. Not just a surface reading of Revelation, but a serious engagement with the prophetic timeline -Daniel’s seventy weeks, the signs Jesus described in Matthew 24, the sequence of seals, trumpets, and bowls in Revelation, the role of Israel, the nature of the Antichrist, and the geopolitical conditions that scripture suggests will characterise the last days.

I spent months cross-referencing scripture, reading theological commentaries from across different traditions, and – perhaps most importantly – reading the news. Because one of the most striking things about biblical prophecy is how contemporary it feels. The conditions it describes aren’t distant or fantastical. They’re emerging in real time.

Central Bank Digital Currencies. Global surveillance infrastructure. The erosion of national sovereignty. The polarisation of societies around questions of identity, loyalty, and belief. I wasn’t inventing a dystopian world for my novel – I was extrapolating from headlines.

The Character

The protagonist of The End Times 2032 is an ordinary man. Not a pastor, not a theologian, not someone who had it all figured out. Someone who knew enough to have been warned, but not enough to have truly believed – until the moment everything changed.

I made that choice deliberately. Because I think most readers, if they’re honest, would place themselves in that category. We know the prophecies. We’ve heard the sermons. But there’s a difference between intellectual assent and the kind of faith that holds when the world falls apart.

Writing that character – his fear, his disorientation, his gradual and costly journey toward something real – was the most challenging and rewarding part of the whole process.

The Hardest Part

The hardest part of writing biblical prophecy fiction isn’t the research. It’s the responsibility.

These aren’t invented events. The Great Tribulation, the mark of the beast, the battle of Armageddon – these are things that scripture says will literally happen. Writing fiction set within that framework carries a weight that writing a purely invented world does not.
My goal was never to sensationalise or to frighten. It was to illuminate. To take events that can feel abstract when read in scripture and make them visceral, immediate, and human. To answer the question: what does faith look like when everything you’ve been warned about is actually happening?
What Comes Next
The End Times 2032 is the first book in a series. The story doesn’t end there. The Tribulation has seven years – and there is much more to tell.

And if you haven’t read The End Times 2032 yet, you can find it on Amazon. I’d love to know what you think.
The question that started this book – what would it feel like to be left behind? – is one I hope you never have to answer in reality. But I do hope the novel helps you think about it. Because thinking about it, I believe, is exactly what prophecy is for.
