Some time later, Buck would appear at another meeting where Carpathia would unveil other new plans -- the changing of the United Nations into Global Community, the changing of its location from New York to New Babylon in Iraq, and the uniting of all religions into what would be called Global Community Faith. The last of these new plans was what began to affect what would happen in the weeks following the signing of the peace treaty between Israel and the Global Community -- the "covenant with hell" that would usher in the seven-year Tribulation period -- not only at New Hope Village Church, but in other churches that stuck to solid preaching of the Bible, including what prophecy said was going to happen and was happening right then and there.

Although Buck, along with Bruce Barnes, Rayford Steele, and his daughter Chloe, was glad to see more souls being saved every day, there were those among the congregation that were really questioning whether what was being preached from the pastor's pulpit was really true. The four of them had no question about the truth, for they knew how vividly it was portrayed in their lives with loved ones missing, and they like the Bereans checked Scripture daily to find out whether those things were so. But as Buck found out on the now-Carpathia-owned Trinity Broadcasting Network and other religious broadcasting stations, the televangelists that weren't taken in the Rapture were now all crowing the same false message to the gullible masses receiving it -- that those taken in the Rapture were actually the "tares in God's kingdom" being taken out so that God could usher in His kingdom here on earth with "the righteous left behind". Proverbs 10:30 was a favorite verse among them that Bruce knew was being taken right out of context to support their beliefs. And if the stench of "prosperity gospel" teaching wasn't bad enough, the same evangelists were also inviting shamans, spirit guides, voodoo practitioners, sorcerers, gurus, priestesses, rabbis, and all sorts of experts from various religions to appear on their shows to share their wisdom with their hosts and audiences, blending it all with a mix of frequently poor Biblical teaching. All this was slowly starting to make its way into the local body of church believers worldwide, causing such divisions within groups that would lead to pastors and congregants leaving churches to form their own new body, either to stick to the truth of Scripture or to take heed to the seducing spirits and demonic doctrines being peddled from the Global Community Faith leaders.

Bruce preached hard to counter these false teachings of those who were being swept away into believing the lie of the vanished ones being the tares removed. He had to constantly remind those who became believers during his new pastorship of the New Hope Village Church that the ones removed are safe with God and Jesus for all eternity, that they were not appointed unto wrath but to obtain salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ. He warned people to be careful not to turn their backs to the truth to accept what Global Community Faith was preaching. But as Rayford and Chloe could see, there were those who once accepted Christ after the Rapture who were now departing from the true faith, the only faith left in the world that could save them.

Then came all sorts of signs and wonders being performed by those that became believers of the Global Community Faith -- regardless of what religion they originally practiced. There was more than just people speaking in tongues and prophesying things and doing miraculous healings; there was also people who fell down under a spiritual power and acted like animals, laughed uncontrollably, and behaved like they were drunks at a party; there were all sorts of "angelic visitations", "glory clouds" that filled rooms, showers of "gold dust", oil that poured from people's hands, and even things that turned to gold. It was worse than the so-called "revivals" that Bruce heard about that broke out in certain churches in modern times, because those who had experienced these signs and wonders had now taunted those who were true Christians for the perceived lack of the same happening in their church services, condemning them for being too unloving, judgmental, divisive, and traditionalist even when the true Christians tried to reason with them through Scripture the truth about these signs and wonders.

One particular sign that became prominent was a supposed vision of Mary that now told the faithful that their faith would have a new name, the name of Enigma Babylon, because of the wonderful mystery of how they all put aside their differences to embrace a religion of true love and peace among men. This vision of Mary outrightly condemned biblical Christianity by calling it a demonic religion for having it be the only true way to be with God, and that its God preached a false message that those who didn't believe in His Son would forever be cast into hell. Surprisingly, none of the Global Community Faith believers who were once professing Christians ever balked at hearing this message coming from a vision of Mary -- least of all the newly-elected Pontifex Maximus Peter Cardinal Mathews, who was then moved to officially rename the faith Enigma Babylon One World Faith.

None of this ever escaped the attention of Eli and Moishe, the two witnesses of Revelation that boldly prophesied in Jerusalem at the Wailing Wall as they continued to cut off the rain supply in Israel and strike the earth with all kinds of plagues as often as they desired. They outrightly spoke against Enigma Babylon itself, saying, "God will show the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, with whom the kings of the earth are committing fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth are now drunk with the wine of her fornication. The waters where the harlot sits are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues. The ten horns of the beast, they will hate the harlot, make her naked and desolate, eat her flesh and burn her with fire. For God will put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled." However, very little of what Eli and Moishe said about Enigma Babylon appeared on any of the networks, though the faithful Enigma Babylon evangelists put their own spin on the two witnesses' message and called them "false prophets" possessed with "Jezebel spirits" that were "touching the Lord's anointed" and "blaspheming the Holy Spirit".

Rayford, Chloe, and Buck began to feel how hard it was for Bruce to continue being one of the few voices left in the world that still stood by the truth of Scripture, who even took the abuse aimed at him and other believers from the Enigma Babylon faithful and yet still cared enough to pray that those who were being enticed by all the signs and wonders taking place in their congregations that they would have their eyes opened and turn back to God before it was too late. Even though Rayford was now transitioning himself to take on his new job working as Nicolae Carpathia's personal pilot and Bruce felt led to doing worldwide evangelism, the four of them kept praying for strength to endure the coming days ahead for each other and for the world that was slowly being led astray by Carpathia.
