Christ. Could our generation be the one that sees the
Rapture of the church and the final stages before the
return of Christ? These ten major signs are a strong
reminder that we could possibly be the generation
that experiences all of these things in the near future.

“Twenty years before, two of his team
members had been killed by a large pyroclastic flow from an active volcano.
Haunted by the incident, he was determined to keep it from happening again.”
Three teams of volcanologists arrive on an uncharted island in the Indonesian
archipelago to monitor an active volcano. After a series of strong earthquakes,
a cave opens up giving an avenue of escape for vicious demons to possess and
attack the local villagers.
Pursued by the killers, Dr. Paul Martinez and his team flee to a mountain monastery run by Father Joseph Antonio who allows them to stay there for protection. They reach the ferry that is coming to rescue the villagers, but things don’t turn out as expected. Follow his people as they try to escape certain death and make it to safety.

Eventually they would move out among the stars and begin to populate the known universe.

This was the premise of The Mortalis series, those living past the millennium in their flesh and blood bodies would colonize new worlds and the Ascended (those in their resurrected bodies) would lead the way for the others. The healing plant described in the series is actually the tree of life (Genesis 2:9; Revelation 22:2).

The curse is lifted during the millennium, but eliminated in the New Heaven and New Earth. Therefore, during the millennium, and after, animal life would again become passive as before the flood. In the series, Marion and her group are moving ahead of the effects of the curse due to their FTL capabilities. Of course, in eternity the Scriptures teach there will be no conflict (Rev. 21:4).

Hopefully this will tie up some of the loose ends many have noted that were not explained in the novels. It might be helpful to do some research on Christian eschatology which would explain some of these concepts. I’d be happy to provide more information concerning the series.
