Film “Countdown to Armageddon”

“I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. “You shall have no other gods before me. “You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me, and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments. “You shall not take the name of Yahweh your God in vain, for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain. “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. You shall labor six days, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your God. You shall not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates; for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore Yahweh blessed the Sabbath day, and made it holy. “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which Yahweh your God gives you. “You shall not murder. “You shall not commit adultery. “You shall not steal. “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor. “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”

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?

This review is from: Countdown to Armageddon (DVD):

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.
