The documentary is clearly made from a polemic viewpoint but that's okay, quite common in film making. There are enough very badly made TV programs from an opposing and often confused viewpoint. Bizarre to see some of the ridiculous comments from those who are so-offended by this film? Eschatology is an astonishing topic and involves years of study and research and I know personally that this documentary has had a positive impact on people around the world - causing individuals to study biblical texts for themselves. That is surely a good thing. For a film about a very complex topic that needed to meet TV regulations, it was well made, particularly for its time. As the film, or should I say - The Bible states... only the wise will understand.

This is a great movie, extremely thought provoking and very well made. I was very challenged to read more into this subject afterwards; and found the prophesies are written exactly the way they are shown in the documentary.Any one with an open mind will love this movie and be challenged by it. I wholeheartedly recommend this to everyone.The negative reviews on here are clearly written by people with a hatred for the subject matter, the objections are neither logical or rational, but it does make me think about the tag line, "Only the wise will understand," Which comes from the book of Daniel chapter 12, in the context it's refers to an individual searching with a motive of integrity as opposed to arrogance.

Have you noticed the crescendo of war, pestilence and famine throughout the world? Since all are at the lowest levels in the history of mankind what kind of blatant nonsense is this? This is the same old group-think, unable to see past its own nose, the same vague prophecies given specific current meanings. A few things line up as they will at any time in history due to random chance. The fact that most don't is ignored. Ever since Jesus and St. Paul predicted the immediacy of the second coming this has been a popular game. Some points in history were ominous in a way that lent some credence to these predictions. Now is not one of those times.A stupid waste of time unless you are a connoisseur of paranoia and conspiracy.

What an odd little "documentary", I don't really see the point of it unless someone had bought a video camera and some editing software and wanted to have a play at making a movie to learn how to use both. In fairness, the journalistic standards of the program probably stack up against the credibility of most of what passes for journalism these days. I have no problem with the Biblical stuff but put some effort into "proving" the authenticity/viability of the predictions, don't just say "The Bible says that the wine will flow from the deserts ... and look, there are vineyards in Israel and they make some tasty wine. Science!!!" "People will be greedy and not very pleasant to one other." Tell me one period in history when people haven't been greedy and unpleasant to one another? Where are the Biblical scholars, the theologians, the historians, geologists, sociologists, archaeologists, language experts?
