Now wheels have been set in motion that will have catastrophic consequences for the Christian, Islamic, and Jewish faiths, and possibly even all of mankind. A two-thousand-year-old destiny is about to be fulfilled. Which results in the kidnapping of Charlotte and possible murder of her colleague Father Patrick Donovan.
