Plot summary

After the Wrath of the Lamb earthquake, Rayford Steele must find his wife Amanda White, who was supposed to land in New Babylon. Buck Williams must find his wife Chloe Steele, who was last seen in a house that is now a shattered ruins. The only other person accounted for is Tsion Ben-Judah, and nearly a quarter of the world's population is to be snuffed out by this earthquake. Both Buck and Tsion find a new home for the tribulation force after discovering the death of a close friend to the tribulation.

While Buck spirits Chloe out of a hospital, after discovering she is pregnant with their baby, believers around the world discover that they have received a sign on their foreheads visible only to other believers, leading to the common phrase, “I can see yours. Can you see mine?” This mark becomes a central plot device, since believers are able to locate each other with ease and yet blend in with Antichrist and Global Community Potentate Nicolae Carpathia's henchmen when necessary.

The Tribulation Force find Hattie Durham in an abortion clinic and discovers that Carpathia is plotting to have both Rayford and Hattie murdered there. Pretending to be Rayford, Buck rescues Hattie and kills a security guard in the ensuing firefight.

Rayford, who continues to fly for Carpathia, finds Amanda’s body in a crashed plane at the bottom of the Tigris River as flaming hailstones and blood pour down from the sky.
