Interesting documentary on Bible Prophecy, February 25, 2000
This review is from: Countdown to Armageddon (DVD)
I am extremely familiar with Bible Prophecy. The only part I disagree with is placing the Gog-Magog war in the Tribulation Period. It just doesn't fit. However, fairly accurate renderings of Bible Prophecy, though appears to offer a pre-wrath view and I lean towards pre-trib. The well-read will learn from it as will the person new to this subject. Warning: not for the kiddies. This is heavy material and might be too much for young minds. Well worth the price. Prophecies of the qur'an do not match those of the Bible, though; not by a long shot. To claim so, as this movie does at the end, is fallacy.

Good video on Bible Prophecy, September 8, 2002
Having studied Bible prophecy for the past 20 years, I am extremely familiar with this subject. The main part I disagree with is placing the Gog-Magog war of Ezekiel 38-39 in the Tribulation Period. It just doesn't fit. The film tries to make Gog of Magog the Worthless Shepherd and there are varying and valid viewpoints that differ. (See Arnold Fruchtenbaum's teachings in Ice and Demy's wonderful book "Prophecy Watch").
There are a few minor errors, such as Nahum 2:4 used for the End-Times when it really speaks of the fall of the Assyrian capital of Nineveh some 70 years after Jonah the prophet was sent to them. The film presents a pre-wrath view whereas I would be pre-trib. The film's viewpoint shows the Marriage Supper of the Lamb occurring during the Great Tribulation. Additionally, the film doesn't specifically state that Jesus is not a prophet, that He is the King of Kings and should be explicitly referenced as such (Matthew 16:13-17, Revelation 19). Though referenced at the end of the film, the Quran denies the Deity of Christ (4.171), a major and clear contradiction to the Matthew 16 verse presented above. Additionally, the image from Revelation 13 cannot be a computer as the film suggests, for it comes to "life".
There is excellent footage that demonstrates the "signs of the times". The well-read will learn from it as will the person new to this subject. Warning: not for the kiddies. This is heavy material and might be too much for young minds. Well worth the price. With the noted exceptions, the material is well-presented and contextually accurate overall. With a bit of minor editing it could be even better. I also recommend "End Times in the Words of Jesus", also available in VHS format at Amazon.Com.
This review is for the VHS version of the film. There is some minor bonus material (Q & A) on the DVD but the VHS is just as good. One reviewer on the DVD version claimed the film purports to be science fiction. Nothing could be further from the truth. It is narrated Bible Prophecy, with some events acted out or demonstrated.
