Author: dhargett04 from United States

anyone interested in the word of GOD, and end-time prophecy would find this movie extremely engaging. it takes the viewer through the unknown realm of biblical prophecy. knowing that for most people the, thee's, thou's, and begats make for uninteresting reading. this being the case- a lot of people have not taken the time to really sit down and seriously contemplate the sheer beauty of the bible. I have sat down and engrossed myself in the bible and having done so i can see the unfolding of these events taking place. this movie gave me insight into events in an unparalleled way. the second coming of CHRST is heralded in such a way that only people determined not to see it will walk away unaffected.
