Jerusalem Countdown

[mitchrg]

Just out of curiosity, has anyone seen the new movie based on John Hagee's novel, Jerusalem Countdown? If so, what is your opinion?

I haven't seen it, but the preview i watched made it seem like the rapture would happen in a way that makes the people "disappearing" appear to become a beam of light that shoots up into the sky. Definitely not the "twinkling of an eye" we all think about with the rapture. I'm interested to see it, but i already know it's just like all the others.....serious flaws in the theology. I guess they think that's okay because it is fiction. I would tell them that sticking to the truth makes for much better cinema.

Unfortunately, a lot of End Times movies (and novels) are goofy, and contain a lot of stuff that's conjecture and not found in the Bible. I just saw a picture where someone was supposedly raptured, but his clothes were left behind...a concept that was introduced in the crummy Left Brhind series. Where in the Bible does it say that Jesus left His clothes behind when He ascended into Heaven? Sure, the cloth He was wrapped in in His grave were left, but that wasn't the Ascension, with is more like the rapture.

Too many people read stuff in books, and think it's Gospel truth.

Yeah, i sometimes have to remember what i'm reading and go....ummm, that's not what the bible says. Of course that's why it's so dangerous to "trust" a teacher. We think everything they say is right, and that's not true.

I have watched the movie and it is good but I think it is one in a series of movies....I can not tell you the movie was great but it was good and was after the rapture and life after
