The Holy Scriptures divulge a time of Great Tribulation an event prophesied having no equal in its perils for the Believer as it is written in Matthew 24:21, For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

The faithful loving young couple Lily & Caleb Characters in the Contemporary Romantic & Suspenseful novel Lily Among Thorns; whom are apart of the Last Generation living in the perils of the “Last Days” as it is written in Luke 21:23, Verily I say unto you, this generation shall not pass away till all be fulfilled.

Take the Holy Scriptures urgent warnings Soberly & Seriously of the age-old enemy that “Old Serpent” who cometh but to Steal, Kill, & Destroy the Soul as it is written in John 10:10, the thief cometh not, but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly.

Unparalleled dangers lie in wait in the Great Tribulation 

The governance of the “Last Days” is a “Demonic Global Cabal” ushering in a complete surveillance society leading directly to the “Mark of the Beast,” as it is written in  Revelation 14:11, And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

The world is in Rebellion against its Goodly Creator and those who remain Loyal & True as it is written in the Holy Scriptures are considered the “Remnant,” as it is written in Revelation 12:17, And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Beyond the boundaries of an external threat, the greatest perils during

the Great Tribulation is the internal battle for the mind, heart, and soul

for which only by way of the Holy Scriptures can the Faithful hope to

overcome.

The “Global Villainous Cabal’s” “Manstealers” pose as a constant

threat to Lily’s Virtue. Lily prays, “I am so frightful right now. I am

afraid from now on fear shall be my only and constant companion.”

Overcoming this terror with faith becomes Lily’s daily

veneration.

The “Broad Path” to compliance gives the false hope of Peace &

Safety; as the Director of a Rehabilitation Center, or more apropos

“Prison Camp;” The Director refers to the “Global Beast Cabal” as the

“New Global Village.” This bewitching lie makes compromise

seemingly the standard.

Lily suffering such intense persecution cannot help but wonder why;

and cries out in anguish, “I’m nobody important… to live it is a whole

nother story.” When everything is stripped away from you but the

clothes on your back. Lily’s faith becomes her most precious

commodity.

The believer such as the Faithful Characters Lily & Caleb are to watch

for 3 manifestations to commence prior too the forthcoming

appearance of the Lord Jesus Christ to earth.

A “Global Villainous Governance,” as it is written in Revelation 12: 9,

And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil,

and Satan,  which Deceiveth the Whole World: he was cast out into

the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

A “Menacing Global Currency,” as it is written in Revelation 13:17, And

that no man might Buy or Sell, save he that had the mark, or the name

of the beast, or the number of his name.

A “Fierce Global Religion,” as it is written in Revelation 13:15, And he

had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the

beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not Worship

the image of the beast should be Killed.

Lily’s Pastor makes “quite a few enemies beyond the church house

doors” by quoting the Bible’s Cautionary Warnings of the “Last Days.”

Which shall eventuality led to detention of hard labor for blameless

Christians the likes of which are Lily & Caleb.

The Book Lily Among Thorns depicts perhaps a real life scenario of a

world rapidly growing hostile toward the faithful and the Holy

Scriptures, the Bible. Leading to the persecution of the Saints. Matthew

10:22, And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he

that endureth to the end shall be saved.

How can Lily survive such odious stumbling blocks in the “Last Days.”  Lily looks to the goodly statutes of the Bible to keep her mind focused on the things of God and looking to the day when all should be made anew by the Blessed Hope; as it is written in Titus 2:13, Looking for that Blessed Hope; and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.

Prayer is Lily’s saving grace to her Father God attentiveness to her forthright petitions. Alone and Lonesome locked away, Lily proclaims by faith, “You, my Lord, are my heart’s desire.”

During the dark days of the Great Tribulation. A light in the darkness for Lily is the trusted friendships she accrues along her faithful journey; such as her faithful sister in Christ Jesus, Stevi, who says, “We’ll figure something out. Hold on tight.” Lifting each other up in Prayer and encouragement.

Looking forward to God’s final victory and rescue in Christ Jesus.

Lily confirms the dedication of faith in Christ Jesus by her daring to stand fast in the face of severe persecution, deception, and the eventual outcome of the “Mark of the Beast.” Lily’s story is one of Faith, Hope and Charity shared in the good company of Believers. All finding encouragement in the infallibility of God’s Eternal Promises of the coming New Kingdom of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

Lily Shines Brightly in a world filled with Darkness and the Shadows of Deception & Lies; And I cordially invite you Dear Reader on Lily’s Faithful Journey in the novel Lily Among Thorns by author Annette K. Mazzone.
