LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- Seen the

movie about Jesus' death? Now read the book about

his return.

A novel about the return of Jesus is set to become

one of the biggest selling books of the year in the

United States as Mel Gibson's controversial filmabout his death breaks domestic box office records.

"Glorious Appearing: The End of Days," written by

Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins, went to a second

printing before it even hit the shelves Tuesday, after

booksellers snapped up the first 1.9 million copies.The book, the 12th in a series of novels, is a

fictionalized drama about Jesus' return to Earth. The

series is based on LaHaye's interpretation of the

Book of Revelation in the New Testament, which is

shared by many evangelical Christians.

The first book in the so-called "Left Behind" series

has been published in 34 languages and sold 8

million copies. Sales of subsequent books in the

series have ranged from 2 million to 4.6 millioncopies.

As the Left Behind series opens, Christians

suddenly disappear in an event described in the book

as "The Rapture." The people who remain on Earth,

or are "left behind," experience a seven-year periodof suffering before Jesus Christ returns to Earth.

"Glorious Appearing," the final book in the series,

deals with the conclusion of the battle between

believers in Jesus and the forces of the Antichrist in

the Valley of Meggido (that is, Armageddon) and

culminates in the return of Jesus.

Christ failed to setup his kingdom

as he intended to do because the Jews rejected him

Christ setup his church instead of

his kingdom just to fill in the gap

Therefore, they claim that

the church and the kingdom are

different.
