Has any mortal man ever been able to transcend the bounds of time and peer into the future? Throughout history, many have claimed such powers, and some, like Notradamus, the Fatima children, Edgar Cayce, and Jeane Dixon, are widely accepted as having predicted various future events.

Today the world stage is set for the fulfillment of one awesome vision many of these seers had in common, an event so cataclysmic that it will change the world as we know it forever-the final apocalypse, Armageddon.

In the genre of 'Notradamus-the Man Who Saw The Future", and "Ancient Prophecies", now comes the 55-minute documentary "COUNTDOWN TO ARMAGEDON", focusing on extraordinary prophecies recorded in the Bible. History has proven the unerring accuracy of Bible Prophecy. Therefore there can be no doubt that its hundreds of prophecies about the last days of our planet Earth will also be fulfilled, just as surely as the ones that have already been fulfilled in the past.

The only question is when? - Some time in the far future that we don't need to worry about now? Or are we now standing on the threshold of the final, great, climactic events of which the Bible prophets spoke?

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.
