Asteroids on a collision course with Earth, super volcanoes, global warming, killer viruses--all are potential catastrophes that threaten to wipe out life on our planet. Are these simply natural disasters that have been occurring since time immemorial? Or are these threats terrifying prophesies from the Bible that are at last coming true? Are our fears overblown? Or are the infamous Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse riding among us in a countdown to Armageddon?

What have past acts of destruction taught us about what will happen to mankind after the apocalypse? Is it inevitable that disaster will someday strike America on an unprecedented level? How has history prepared us? History's most dramatic events--Hiroshima, 9/11, Hurricane Katrina and others--are examined and analyzed with hard data gathered from their massive aftereffects. The disappearance of water and food supplies, the effects of deteriorated sanitation and health care on the remaining population, and the increased use of violence as a means of survival--all illustrate how societies have responded and survived.

What if the apocalyptic prophecies of Revelation were to unfold today? When the Wailing Wall comes down in a series of bomb attacks that rock Jerusalem, the event kick-starts seven years of torment that will test the limits of mankind. A Pennsylvania cop hunts for hundreds of thousands of children mysteriously missing in a storm-ravaged America. Two scientists race to stop a deadly pandemic that threatens to decimate the world. And a TV reporter trapped inside a war-torn Israel desperately tries to decode the secrets of Revelation.

What if the apocalyptic prophecies of the Bible were to unfold today? As the world is ripped apart by a sequence of horrifying catastrophes, a TV reporter and his cameraman embark on an epic road trip across war-ravaged America. Their goal? To decode the secrets of Revelation--and identify the Antichrist. Their journey plunges them into the heart of the Apocalypse. If they can make their way through the rivers of blood, plagues of locusts and fields of fire prophesied 2,000 years ago, they stand a chance of witnessing the most extraordinary event of all: the Second Coming of Christ.

Hell fires, endless winters, or a planet wracked by earthquakes are a few versions of Armageddon visualized by the Vikings, Aztecs, and the rest of our ancient ancestors. But which does modern science think will be closest to the truth? Celestial phenomena--the aging of our sun, the expansion of our universe, and other potentially cataclysmic events--could trigger the kind of Armageddon the ancients feared. Which ancient prophecy do scientists believe actually foretells our doom? And how close are we to the end of the world?
