The Last Prophet
Would you believe it if someone told you that you were one of the last two prophets mentioned in the book of Revelation?
It is the End of Days. The power of the Antichrist and his grip on humanity grows stronger with each passing day, enabling him to deceive the world and entice humanity into joining him in his corruption, and in his eternal punishment. With the help of the False Prophet, the Beast persuades many to fall down and worship him, also forcing them to take his mark.
When someone tells John March that he has been chosen by God to become the last of the two prophets mentioned in the book of Revelation, he doesn’t believe it. After a visitation by an angel followed by a miraculous sign however, he becomes convinced that it is true and decides to embrace his calling, despite learning that doing so will lead to his untimely death. March begins his mission by proclaiming God's message: that the End of Days is at hand, to beware the growing power and influence of the Beast, and to know that the Second Coming of Jesus Christ is imminent.
Supernatural disasters, including a worldwide drought, rivers of blood, massive earthquakes, and a devastating asteroid, testify that the end of the world is at hand.
Join John March on his journey to becoming, The Last Prophet.

The last prophet is an apocalyptic book that would surely engage readers to the content of it.
The plot is well-written with enough mysteries, suspense and thrill all around it that one could not stop turning pages. I’m always lured to books which had a fact-based piece and especially this one who depends on the bible. I find the plot of having the last prophet and all written along it a bit of interesting. The author made the characters real, humanlike which makes it easier for the readers to understand their decisions and what they’re feeling on certain situations.
The” end of the world” thought here really creep me up in a really good way , and I especially launch myself into John’s journey in fighting the beast and leading the people to God’s path. It was a good book, as it will make the reader think about his life, and really where would he be when the end of the world ends. I felt drawn to the last prophet(John) about his insecurities and doubt why would he be chosen to be God’s messenger, then I realized that no matter how low you think of yourself, God has always seen the special in you.
Horton made this story a best-selling one by giving it the mixture of suspense, twist and turns all in the right time, as well as giving the taste of real-life situations and emotions. It was scary as well as enlightening the descriptions given when it would be like when the end of the world has come. A great book! Totally worth reading!

Truly well written. I enjoyed it immensely. I look forward to reading more of his works.

Jonah (Jon) Elijah March is born to ordinary parents in an ordinary town in the United States. But he is no ordinary child. He is one of the last of two prophets mentioned in the Bible’s Book of Revelations.
He has dreams that in time prove to manifest as actual events that become stronger when he is a teen. When his earlier visions, like the one about Lara––literally a girl of his dreams––being involved in an accident does not manifest as he envisioned, Jon thinks he is wrong. In time he realizes that his vision have merit and are not wrong, only he has not been patient or trusting enough to see them to fruition. In time Jon and Lara marry.
Another tells Jon he is slated for great things because of his visions and that God has chosen him to be a prophet but he doesn’t believe it. And then an angel appears to him and follows it up with a miraculous sign. It is then that he accepts his fate. Along with his acceptance comes an ominous message––with the glory comes imminent death.
Jon is not alone in this journey. There are people who see him for what his purpose is to be, such people as the kind Pastor Weathersby who guides Jon to understand his gift and later he meets the Pope along with other spiritual world leaders who believe in his prophesies.
As Jon begins his mission by proclaiming God's message spreading the news that "The End of Days is at hand,” the reader can find comfort in what Horton reminds us, “The world is a very transient place…” And warns people that the Beast (the Bible Beast who’s not a very nice chap) is gaining power and influencing those weakened by their greediness and materialistic needs to where they “worship him” ––the Beast ––thus forsaking all reason and goodness (God). Sounds familiar. I believe there’s a lot of that going on now, don’t you? Jon then reassures all that will listen that “Jesus Christ will once again come to enlighten (or save) them." The Beast is in the image of a charismatic politician, Abe Addon who scams the people into trusting him and his false promises. All the while his only purpose is to control and dominate mankind. We have here what all good stories have––a good protagonist and a good bad antagonist and Abe Addon is a really bad guy with a winning smile.
Jon, Lara and their son Samuel travel to Israel as the end comes closer. In time Jon meets the other prophet Moe Princeton. I liked this character. There was something very earthly about him. Jon at times seemed so intense, even in his loving and insightful ways. On the other hand Moe is more of a regular kind of guy. Both have visions and messages for humankind, who per the usual, aren’t listening.
Horton tells his readers that “Life is a only a brief stop on the road to eternity.” And I find that reassuring while reading about the worldwide disasters spreading––drought, floods massive earthquakes, and finally, a devastating asteroid alerting us that the end of the world is at hand.
I’m not crazy for “Hey, guys! You screwed up big time and now it’s a done deal,” kind of books, but the journey with Jon is an interesting one. I had to agree that the world is in a very precarious position and too many leaders (corporations) have sold out the health of our planet and the welfare of the people for their greed and power ego. All in all, if you want to acquaint yourself with the Bible prophecies and/or be aware that life is fragile and fleeting, this book could be of interest to you.

I really enjoyed reading this book. Actually, I think I enjoyed the author’s way of writing more than the book itself. He explains everything so clearly. You feel as if you’re truly there. This is not the type of book I usually read—I tend to go for romance—but I did like it because it made me think. No matter what your beliefs, this book will make you wonder…
I will definitely read other books written by Jeff Horton, and I would recommend The Last Prophet to everyone.

Horton is a talented author and this being the third book of his I've read, I have to say his work never bores me and keeps my mind intrigued with everything that his story is filled with. I love stories that make me wonder and think about things and that's exactly what The Last Prophet did for me.

I enjoyed the book. It provided an interesting take on the Biblical book of Revelation..
January 23, 2012
An interesting take on the tribulation and the last two prophets, based on the book of Revelation from the Bible. This book is similar to the Left Behind series of books, but it is also unique in that the Left Behind series starts with the rapture of all Christians (hence the title refers to those unbelievers who were "left behind") while The Last Prophet does not include the pre-tribulation rapture event, which means even the believing Christians have to live through the final days and the tribulation before the second coming of Jesus.
The author made it interesting in showing the triblulation through the eyes of John March, a man chosen by God to be one of the last two prophets, even though John was just an ordinary guy who didn't believe in the beginning that he was the best choice for the job.
The opening lines to this book are great, and sucked me into the story right away: Life is only a brief stop on the road to eternity. Our loved ones, acquaintances, and strangers pass away before our very eyes on a daily basis. Yet each of us carries on with our lives as if we will live forever. This is merely an illusion; of course, as it is an inevitable consequence of life that each of us must die.
There were a few things that were a bit over the top for me. Things with the President-World Leader-antichrist character that made me roll my eyes, and wonder how on earth anyone would buy his story. And even though there was not a rapture event, there were so few believers in this story that I found it a bit unbelievable. Such as this line, "I saw a new poll that just came out today. The President has a staggering ninety-five percent approval rating, by far the highest in the history of our republic. In addition, when asked how they felt about Addon, nearly seventy-five percent of those polled claimed they worshipped him, and would follow him to the ends of the Earth..."
Since according to Wikipedia "As of the early 21st century, Christianity has approximately 2.2 billion adherents. Christianity represents about a quarter to a third of the world's population and is the world's largest religion" I have a hard time believing that only 5% of the population in this story would recognize this glaringly obvious anti-christ character for what he was.
