Tribulation Christmas

It has been seven years since the world was rocked by the sudden disappearance of millions of people from all over the earth. Most of those claiming alignment with the Christian faith have simply vanished and though theories abound, no one truly seems to know or understand why. Some say they have been 'taken', perhaps evolving to a higher state, others feel the opposite is true. But some whisper quiet truths having been taught of these times but never believing until now. It is a time of tragedy and loss but also a time of Revelation. It is the beginning of the end of all things. Some whisper the word: Armageddon. Following a universal decree a majority of the world's population has unified by taking a Mark, pledging their allegiance to the newly established world order and its leader, Emir Isaac Nicholas. All seems well on the earth and peace and unity reign… unless you are one of the few who refuse to take the Mark. For them it is a terrible existence, running and hiding from the military forces of the Premier.They do not know from one moment to the next what their future holds, but for them taking the Mark would be throwing away their last hope for salvation.
