Now I know why Paul Crouch and TBN is so annoying
18 October 1999
This movie demonstrates to anyone who has an interest in Bible that Paul Crouch (Who produced and financed this opus.) is now and always will be a total nitwit. This film is evangelistic in presentation and obviously designed to spread the theology of the Trinity Broadcasting Network. The movie wants to take the viewer through the `Tribulation' of the Book of Revelation and the Book of Daniel. If you can stand the trite television programs that TBN broadcasts you know the script of this movie. We are to believe that the Bible is really and encryption code and a 3D hologram to boot. Well which text is the code in? We do not have the original and there is a fair amount of difference between the official `Massoretic text dating from the 10 Century C.E. (the Common Era) and the either the Qumran texts (the Dead Sea Text) or the Samaritan Pentateuch for example. Who decided which text to follow for the encryption work?

What really was annoying though is the movie conclusion, where all has been programmed by the code, and must be fulfilled with no exceptions, but one person making a decision to believe then negates all that the Bible has predicted for 1900 years. Casper Van Dien by his discision to kill Michel York (who has already been resurrected from the dead) somehow stops the Second Coming of Christ by his act of belief in God. If God went to all the trouble of encrypting the Bible, you would think He might have know about this little fact and changed the code. Overall the acting is wooden and Katherine Oxenburg (last know from Dynasty in the 80's) is as wooden as a puppet. Wait for the movie in a Church near you and save the price of admission.
