#A THIEF IN THE NIGHT PLUS#

And this is based on writings made centuries before the fact !! The Second Coming of Christ is also described in both the New and Old Testaments such as in the Book of Revelation and in the Book of Daniel. Theoretically, this time reckoning brings us up to the week in which the Messiah Jesus was crucified (around 32 or 33 AD).

In another example, the Book of Daniel talks about '49 years plus 434 years' which are 483 years from the time of the Persian Empire in which the Jewish exiles were allowed back to rebuild the City of Jerusalem. In the Book of Micah, it says that the Messiah will be born in Bethlehem.

The First Coming of Christ is prophesied in several Old Testament Books. Thinking about this on a worldwide scale is disturbing. Evil continues to inflict nations in different parts of the world. In the past, evil has taken over entire nations such as in the Roman Empire, Napoleon's France, Hitler's Germany, and Soviet Russia.

The idea that evil can just take over the entire world after the Christian believers have been removed from the earth is scary indeed. I have mixed feelings about the concept of 'being scared into Heaven'. I think people should be converted through the knowledge of the free gift of Salvation provided by the Sacrifice at the Cross and Christ's subsequent resurrection. Since I am a Christian believer and that includes believing in the Divinity of Jesus Christ and that He is my Personal Savior and Lord due to His Sacrifice at the Cross and coming back to Eternal Life after being raised from the dead as well as believing that the Bible is the inspired Word of God - what can I really say about this particular film? I think the film has a powerful message, even though I have mixed feelings about its delivery.
