The same 4 couples are the ‘stars’ of this scenario. So again, you get 4 stories converging to the same destination.

The scriptural puzzle pieces the author tries to fit together are different from the first book. They are: Genesis 15:18, Exodus 23:31, Deuteronomy 11:22-25, Isaiah 27:12, Jeremiah 50-51, Habbakuk, Micah 7:5,6, Zechariah 2:6-7, Matthew 10:21, 2 Corinthians 6:17 and Revelation 17,18.

Personally I found Part One of this book boring for all the same reason I disliked some aspects of the first book, In Six Hours the World Changed. But I found Part 2 more interesting. In Part 2 the story shifts from mass migration towards Israel to how the author envisions the actual fall of ‘Babylon’ (USA) in one literal hour, and how one family escaped.

What one person thinks is interesting, or boring is very subjective. If you read book one, you'’ll want to read the rest of the story! And I think there must be one, two or three more books forming in the author's mind. And yes, I will read them.

The story continues to unfold from Volume One - (In Six Hours - The World Changed). As the four pals(Shaul, Ali, Brandon, and Dev) gather together in Israel for the ingathering of the ten tribes of Israel.

Shaul and his comrades in arms the Israeli Army IDF start to unravel the carnage of the broken infrastructure in and around the countries around Israel to ease the travelling of the tribes of Israel, they build pontoon bridges and repair roads and set up check points and Hospitals along the route.

Shocks and surprises occur along the way.

Ali(who changes his name to Aviv - meaning Spring) from the Pashtun tribe and his girlfriend Khaista travel from Afghanistan to Israel encountering nuclear bombed towns and cratered roads and damaged airports on the way.

Brandon, Alyssa, Niamh and Dev, make plans. Rueben, Shaul’s brother is sceptical even after being told of the underground movement of Jews to the homeland Israel, Reuben wouldn’t or couldn’t see it at this time.

The situation in the United States does not improve. The Department of Justice begins to target more and more Jewish and Christian institutions with lawsuits and arrests and incarcerates many for dubious and seemingly made-up ‘crimes’. The accused were forced to spend a lot of their hard-earned resources on their defence Ð often made even more difficult by the prosecution by extreme demands for thousands of unnecessary documents in the ‘discovery’ process.

Aliyah (Olim) immigration to Israel (ingathering of the Tribes of Israel) continued even from India (the Menashe from eastern india and the Kashmiris from the north and the Pashtun (Afghanistan and North West Pakistan).

The USA stops the transferring of money to Israel, making it difficult for the Jewish Aliya(immigration to Israel) and makes it difficult to get passports and Visas.

Peoples of all religions and none (anyone outspoken, preaching, activists, especially those teaching others to take the bible/prophecy seriously) are being rounded up. Some churches are pulling back and endorsing evolution, abortion, same sex marriage.

Children are being encouraged to report on families who hold to bible teaching/creationism etc. even their own families.

The words of the prophet, Micah, that Jesus once quoted in Matthew 10, are being fulfilled in modern-day America, "Do not trust a neighbor; put no confidence in a friend. Even with the woman who lies in your embrace guard the words of your lips. For a son dishonors his father, a daughter rises up against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law Ð a manÕs enemies are the members of his own household." Micah 7:5.

Amazing extraordinary discoveries when excavating in preparation for the third Temple of the City of David (below the Garden Tomb) This is believed to be the site of Jesus’ Crucifixion - the Chief Rabbi concludes this new evidence is Incontrovertible truth to the jews that Jesus is the Messiah.

Then ten of the most powerful nations gather to hand power over to him - Adonikam Suleiman from the Islamic world.

The fall of Babylon(USA) is at hand.

Reuben realises he was wrong and he and his family make tracks for Israel via Canada.

A riveting read from Raymond you are kept enthralled on each page as to what is coming next. A fascinating read which held me in its grip until I finished the book. Raymond’s writing continues to fascinate me. This outpouring of his interpretation of the Scriptures is as engaging as it is intriguing. Although the characters are fictional the prophecies are Raymond’s interpretation of Scripture. Will it come to pass? Yeshua - Jesus will have his way.

There are less Bible references in this second book, but that’s not to say that they are ignored. However, I wasn’t ready for several paragraphs about The Ark of the Covenant and other archaeological discoveries. At one stage, what is found is explained by Rabbis during a blanket broadcast on Israeli TV & Radio. ‘Our sincere conclusion, my friends Ð and we have gone into this most thoroughly Ð is that Yeshua HaNotzrim was indeed the Moshiach, the redeemer of Israel. For two thousand years we have denied Yeshua, but we are now faced with incontrovertible evidence that he was indeed Ð and is Ð the true Messiah of Israel.’

Although the characters in these books are fictitious, (they lead on from the previous book) the events they are involved in are based directly upon the predictions of the Hebrew prophets Ð and, of course, Raymond’s interpretation of them. A hundred years ago the State of Israel was only a faint hope in the hearts of a few pioneering Jews, scoffed at even by their fellow Israelites. Today, Israel is the most advanced and powerful nation in the Middle East, yet still continually under threat from the surrounding nations. The Middle East, and much of the world, are today dominated by Islamic fundamentalism. Will that continue? Today, America is the world’s only superpower. Could a time come when that is no longer the case? "In One Hour" brings forward a dangerous and chilling scenario.

The four young men we met in In Six Hours ...The World Changed are reunited to take part in the largest migration of human beingsÑever. The timeliness of this story is chilling. The characters are strong and compassionate, but are they up to the challenges that confront them?

Mr. McCullough appears to have a passionate understanding of world events and the people who struggle for and against them. I believe the first book was written about four or five years ago, but it reads like a peek into man’s future. And now that future is upon us. Highly recommended.
