Meanwhile, Abby rents a garage apartment to mysterious David Bannon. Abby, who has been having strange nightmares, discovers that around the world signs of the Apocalypse have been appearing in accordance with the Book of Revelation, David Bannon is the returned Jesus, Father Lucci is Pontius Pilate's porter Cartaphilus who was doomed to wander the Earth for eternity, and she is a woman who tried to help Jesus. Further, she is the Seventh Sign and the Apocalypse will happen when her baby is stillborn. What can she do to save her unborn child and mankind?—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
