It would serve us all better to realize this, and accept it for what it is. There's nothing wrong with accepting that people will believe differently from you; it's a fact of nature. As I've said before, tolerating someone's beliefs doesn't mean you have to believe it yourself.
That aside, the video itself is a pretty exotic little piece. The quality is watchable and pretty decent given the age. It would help overall if there was a version available that wasn't quite so compressed. This would be of most benefit to background text readability and archivers. Again, still quite watchable regardless. All-in-all an interesting old piece that could well become a classic in its own right.

If this were a film about Muslims believing that they'll get a boat-load of virgins if they're martyred would you folks still be name-calling and proclaiming this nonsense? Reviewer: BobKee - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - June 13, Subject: Balanced and truthful I read the many reviews before watching this film and expected a "horror film". Actually it is a great film, true to the bible, and doesn't overdue the points it is trying to make.
It challenges both the Christians and also the non-Chrisitan to be found following Jesus. I think some of those writing reviews actually didn't watch it or compare it to the scriptures on which it is based.
Even if you don't believe those scriptures, one must admit that this film does a good job following the bibles teachings as revealed to John by Jesus himself.
The fear factor is exactly as found in the bible scriptures and are given as a warning, motivated by God's love for us and His hope that we will escape. And a clear solution is given, which is an easy one, simply believe in Christ's gift of his own life, on the cross, a provision to wash away our sins, and we will only have heaven to look forward to.
Perfect love casts out all fear. Fear only works for those who really need to see a counselor about power and control issues. Please stop this madness. Apparently I misread the title.
I thought it was "The Rupture". Instead of medical information, this film offers only unentertaining storybook nonsense. Reviewer: tokentyper - favorite favorite - April 29, Subject: Hardly even worth poking fun at. Unspeakably dull and dim-witted.
Thank God those silly days are through and now we are all thoroughly enlightened. I think the website the overly religious folks were looking for was www.
BTW - what about the actual film Now I'm not going to get it because of the controversy. Reviewer: drd - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - March 17, Subject: Spoofer We are told to warn people as Christians whether you like it or not.
You obviously missed the point of the film. You should not take the Lord's name in vain either. I am glad you viewed the film because unless you repent you now know what is going to happen to you. I wonder what your motivation was for seeing it anyway? I think you already know the answer to that question? You may deny fire is real to? But just like the bible that is real to! Just like you had freedom to speak so does everyone else! He had the courage to stand up for Jesus!
What about you? By the way, the only one I fear is God the Father, not the devil! The Devil is a coward, who picks on Gods people! He knows his time is limited! Reviewer: spoofer - favorite favorite favorite - January 17, Subject: Surfer51 is mentally ill jesus, Surfer51, you pretentious ass - do us all a favor and stick to reviewing the movie instead of thumping your bible at us Mas emitiu-nos uma mensagem aquosa a repent. Reviewer: Surfer51 - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - January 4, Subject: Rapture film purpose in a nut shell This film was made with the intent of saving souls.
Granted they may have appeared to use scare tactics even though their hearts were in the right place. The reasons for having made this movie are as follows: Sowing seeds of the Kingdom is one of the greatest works we do here on earth as Christians. Nothing else that we do down here is as lasting as that.
Three Hundred Million years from now, what will be the only thing that will matter? Will it matter how much money we made? Will it matter what kind of car we drove? Will it matter who won the NCAA football and basketball titles this year? Will it matter who you took to the homecoming dance? Three Hundred Million years from now, the only thing that will matter is who is in heaven and who is in hell. And if that is the only thing that will matter then, that should be one of our greatest concerns now.
Jesus tells us in Matthew , "The Son of Man has come to save that which was lost. The real question is, what are we doing of significance today that will matter million plus years from now?
Second Corinthians assures us as, "We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. Can you imagine that? Do you think it will matter on that day whether you told a very lost and dying world about the only answer for a soul- Jesus?
Yes, it will. It will matter whether you shared the most precious thing you have with everyone you could. And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard?
And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And daily around the globe ,00 people die. I wonder where each of them will spend eternity? I quote Charles Haddon Spurgeon: "If there be any one point in which the Christian church ought to keep its fervor at white heat, it is concerning missions. If there be anything about which we cannot tolerate lukewarmness, it is the matter of sending the gospel to a dying world. Get good striking tracts, or none at all.
But a touching gospel tract may be the seed of eternal life. Therefore, do not go out without your tracts. And if they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees, imploring them to stay.
If hell must be filled, at least let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go there unwarned or unprayed for. If we had to preach to thousands year after year, and never rescued but one soul, that one soul would be full reward for all our labor, for a soul is of countless price. You want to honor Him, you desire to put many crowns upon His head, and this you can best do by winning souls for Him. These are the spoils that He covets, these are the trophies for which He fights, these are the jewels that shall be His best adornment.
I know some would differ, you have to agree that they at least tried. And if they were to reach just one soul, it will have been worth the effort. Reviewer: Castaa - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - December 18, Subject: Fear Exploitation of the fear of the unknown is timeless. Isn't it? Sadly the film makers neglected to the show the burning and boils of the unsaved small children that they alluded to in the first part of the movie. Go Jesus! Reviewer: anarchist79 - favorite favorite favorite favorite - November 5, Subject: Interesting Good look at mid 20th century christian values Good viewing.
Reviewer: Diverman - favorite - October 5, Subject: History repeating Interesting to see what mechanism worked then, can still work today Reviewer: Visaman - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - October 3, Subject: Interesting perspective I found this view of the rapture quite interesting, because this was made a few years before the dropping of the Atomic Bomb, and the formulation of the European Union, and the formation of the nation of Isreal, which today form the basis of the The Rapture doctrine, as espoused by Pat Robertson and Jack Van Impe.
Reviewer: AlecWest - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - September 19, Subject: Good for it's time and flock. Considering the year was and that the film was targeted toward people who at least had a modicum of Christian faith, I think the film was effective in its purpose But, to those who had already strayed from the flock or never belonged to the flock in the first place, it may have been perceived as offensive.
One thing I did notice that would pertain to today are depictions they made of the end times. Keenly aware that he's in the Tribulation period, his only hope is in a mysterious man named Frankie. In Tokyo, a covert agent, Masashi, tries to unravel the disappearance of millions of people as the government closes in on him. In Rio De Janeiro, Marie searches for her final relative as time runs out.
And on a deserted island in the South Pacific, Tom Wiseman, an avowed atheist, attempts to be rescued after his plane goes down. What if you woke up and it finally happened? Rated PG for elements of violence. Add content advisory. Did you know Edit. Connections Featured in Christ in Prophecy with Dr. User reviews 53 Review. Top review. As a pastor, I'm going to be honest, walking into the theater last week I was expecting a mild-mannered Christian film.
What I got instead was a sock in the face; a deeply- moving movie with the correct interpretation of the Book of Revelation and a whole lot of things to think about also. What other movie delves into God and the Bible so vividly?
Not even the Left Behind series did that. Call it what you will, but WHY are you seeing it? What is God showing you or revealing himself in you.
I liked the scene very much where the heroine says how God spoke to her at the ocean. God speaks to you everyday, but are you listening? The Book of Revelation talks about the end times before Christ returns. If you believe in Jesus Christ, believe in his return for this saints in the rapture.
God bless you all! Details Edit. Release date September 13, United States. Official site. English Japanese Spanish. Box office Edit. Technical specs Edit. Runtime 1 hour 30 minutes.
