God Bless

I find this movie interesting on the fact that we are living in a time where it feels like its heading towards that direction during this covid era. This movie came out in 1980 when technology was no where near the radar for the general public now we are consumed by it. You dont have to be a christian to see whats going on in the world right now anyways good movie 👍

Good

The first one, the second one, and the third one are good movies that show what will happen when Jesus comes to get us. Yeah the clothing is bad, and the hair is messed up, but this movie was made in the late 70's. It's a good movie either way, and Left Behind is nothing compared to these series. It's more people like than government talking throughout the whole movie like Left Behind. It's great, and sad at the same time. I recommend it to people who don't believe in God, and don't believe in the end of the world, until next thousands of years where there are going to be new people building up this earth and starting all over again.

Go out and rent the series!

One in a series of four helping to share God's word

The movie although "dated" is a GREAT tool for ministering to public. the story line is good and what it may lack in it's "datedness" it gains in its ability to explain the Bible in ways that others can understand. Yes, it is a no holds barred (including the beheadings) enactment of God's word but unlike what had been commented .. `scenes of people who refuse the mark of the beast being beheaded (to scare the audience into accepting Jesus, I guess)" ... the scenes in the movie are true to what the Bible states is coming and if seeing this movie scares someone to Jesus all I can say is Thank God the movie did it, for what would these people do when it happens to them in real life. I highly recommend this, and the entire `Thief in the night' series to anyone looking for material to do God's work.

Very Interesting Watch in 2024

If you've read the book of Revelation, this film is basically about it playing out in modern times, well the 80s when this was filmed.

You can find it on Tubi and it is worth a watch, people who believe in God and don't accept the mark of the beast are hunted down by the one world government.

Religion is disbanded and morphed into the One World Church.

Not for everyone but I think it was a good account of the times in my opinion we are approaching now, it even broaches on AI and says people will worship it like a golden calf, very revealing as AI has taken off this year and been thrust into the public spotlight.

Horrible propaganda

Anybody else forced to watch this as a kid? It not only gave me nightmares, but it also fueled my doubt in religion. Ironically it also sewed the seeds of mistrust for governments, creating the conspiracy theorist that I am today. I WAS 6 YEARS OLD WHEN I SAW THIS!!! Keep in mind we didn't have a radio or television in our home until I was 14 so this was literally the first and only thing I saw on the t.v. It's a 4 part series and we watched them all at church. It's an old movie, so now it seems silly but damn did it affect me then.
