* INeedAFreakingDrink: Subverted slightly with Chaim Rosenzweig's driver, Jacov. In this book, Jacov is known to fall off the wagon. Chaim even fired him at one point, but rehired him out of pity. He becomes a believer at the meeting at the 144,000 Jews, and is later found inside a bar. Instead of getting drunk, he is preaching to the patrons inside when Chaim and Buck find him afterward. After Jacov proved to his boss that he wasn't getting drunk, Chaim's response is very deadpan, but hilarious.
-->'''Chaim:''' Oy. I wish you were drunk.

Nicolae Carpathia arranges for Tsion Ben-Judah to have a brief three-day conference with the 144,000 Jewish evangelists in Israel, although he tries to use it as an attempt to either persuade the converts to join his side or to destroy the Tribulation Force -- both of which end up failing as God keeps Tsion and the 144,000 protected throughout the time of the conference. Hattie Durham and Chloe Williams both deal with their pregnancies coming to term, with Hattie suspecting that she may be poisoned and Chloe almost being near death when her child is ready to be born. During the story, the Fourth and Fifth Trumpet Judgments take place, the latter of which affects Hattie and Dr. Chaim Rosenzweig as the demon locusts have their way with the unbelievers to put them into a delirium where they seek to die but are unable to.

* BloodIsSquickerInWater: Nicolae's throat gets parched as he futilely tries to sway the gathered people at Teddy Kollek Stadium and asks for water. He gets a bottle of water and tries to drink it, but gags when the water ends up turning into blood, causing him to curse Tsion Ben-Judah and the believers present.
* IfYouDieICallYourStuff: Bo Hansen and Ernie attempt to steal Ken Ritz's wealth he had stashed at Palwaukee Airport following Ritz's death. Their attempt at robbery was thwarted by the arrival of the horde of demonic locusts. Only Rayford and T.M. Delanty were spared because they were believers.
* ThrowingOutTheScript: When Chaim Rosenzweig is asked to appear on TV to give his explanation for the sun giving out only one-third of its sunlight due to one of the Trumpet Judgments taking place (though Chaim isn't convinced that it is the hand of God at work), he is given a script by the Global Community that has him parrot the party line's explanation of some scientific cosmic disturbance causing the phenomenon that even Rosenzweig as a botanist can see through. He chooses to appear on TV but speaks his own mind instead, almost directing people to Dr. Tsion Ben-Judah's website before being pulled off the air.
* TryNotToDie: In the Dramatic Audio version, after going through the escape plan to get Tsion, Chloe and Buck out of Israel, Rayford asks for some more advice from Mac. Mac's response: "Don't get shot."
