Gog Unfolding

Special Forces combat veteran Jake McClure returns to the U.S. from a tour in the Middle East to start college in Washington, D.C. and work in a senator’s office on Capitol Hill. Jake, along with college roommates Heze Stern and Amir Abdullah and his girlfriend, White House NSC staffer Abby Hays, uncover a plot to assassinate the president and the prime minister of Israel, which, if successful, would pave the way for a Russian/Iranian-led invasion of Israel seemingly foretold in ancient prophecy.

Army Special Forces JAKE MCCLURE, late 20s, leads his team on a mission to rescue a besieged U.S. military outpost in Iraq being protected by an Army unit commanded by PATRICK GRIFFIN, the son of VICE PRESIDENT CHARLES GRIFFIN. Patrick dies in the raid.

Six months later, Jake is out of the Army and starting as a freshman at Georgetown University. He also begins an intern position on Capitol Hill for SEN. RON ORTIZ.

Jake’s roommates are HEZE STERN, a Marine Corps veteran who grew up in Israel, and AMIR ABDULLAH, a Muslim originally from Jordan, whose father, YOUSEF ABDULLAH, runs a Middle East policy center in Washington.

Yousef and Vice President Griffin are friends from college days and share the common goal of getting the U.S. to disengage from the Middle East.

Jake and Heze become fast friends, but Heze has major misgivings about rooming with Amir.

Jake meets ABBY HAYS at a Georgetown bar. She is an attractive Naval intelligence officer in her late 20s serving as a White House National Security Council staffer. Days later, they meet again at a White House briefing Abby leads, and a relationship quickly develops.

Ortiz is spearheading a military aid package for Israel, but PRESIDENT ALLEN BRICE is non-committal. He tasks a commission led by Vice President Griffin to review all U.S. aid to the Middle East. Griffin chooses Yousef as one of his principal members of the commission.

Jake, Heze and Abby uncover a plot by Yousef and Griffin to kill Brice and the Israeli Prime Minister DAVID ORIN in D.C. in order to facilitate a massive multi-nation invasion of Israel led by Russia and Iran.

Events appear to be unfolding in eerily similar fashion to what the prophet Ezekiel foretold as recorded in the Bible.
