After a two-year hiatus that included recovery from heart surgery, Arnold Schwarzenegger returned to the big screen in November 1999 with End of Days, a Thanksgiving turkey if ever there was one. Overcooked and bloated with stuffing, this ludicrous thriller attached itself to the end-of-the-millennium furor that kicked in a year too early. A prologue begins in 1979 with panic in the Vatican when a comet signals the birth of a child who will, 20 years later, become the chosen bride of Satan, destined to conceive the devil's spawn between 11 p.m. and midnight on December 31, 1999. It's hard to decide who has the more thankless role--Robin Tunney as Satan's would-be bride, or Schwarzenegger as Jericho Cane, the burned-out alcoholic bodyguard assigned to protect the girl from Satan, billed as "The Man" and played with cheesy menace (and an inconsistent variety of metaphysical manifestations) by Gabriel Byrne.
With kitschy character names like Jericho and Chicago (Arnie's partner, played by Kevin Pollack) and lapses in logic that any 5-year-old could spot, End of Days is a loud, aggravating movie that would be entertaining if it were intended as comedy. But Schwarzenegger and director Peter Hyams approach the story as an earnest tale of redemption and tested faith, delivering a ridiculous climax full of special effects and devoid of dramatic impact. You're left instead to savor the verbal and physical sparring between Satan and Jericho, resulting in the most thorough pummeling Schwarzenegger's ever endured onscreen. Of course he eventually gets his payback, just in time for New Year's Eve. Perhaps he was touched by an angel. --Jeff Shannon

The Book of Daniel

ASIN: B0009TIAI6 |
Product Description
Audio/Visual Slide Presentation. The Book of Daniel provides a prophetic look at all of history from his time until the time of the end. Although there are several "separate" prophecies, they all are about the same series of events. Daniel describes all of the world Empires from his time to the present time, and they have been proven accurate by secular history. Daniel describes 490 years of tribulation decreed against Israel, 483 were completed when Christ was crucified. The remaining 7 years is the future Great Tribulation described by Jesus in Matthew 24,25 and the book of Revelation 11-13 and 17-18. Daniel and Revelation give the exact number of days between events from the Antichrist signing the covenant to the establishment of the Millennial Kingdom.

Characteristics of the End Time Churches
Manufacturer: Aaron C Ministries ProductGroup: DVD Binding: DVD ASIN: B000A2IU82 |
Product Description
The predominant characteristic of the End Time Churches will be apostasy. The Bible tells us about the churches of the first century, how they started and some of the good and bad points of these churches. John states in the book of Revelation that Jesus is revealing "what was, what is and what is to come." The "what is to come," is the final false church of Revelation 17. This church will have the False Prophet as the overseer and will proclaim the Antichrist as the Savior of the World. The "what is" is the church era and Revelation depicts the typical churches of John's day, inthe letters to the seven churches, and they also represent present day churches. These churches can also represent the various ages within the development of the church. Revelation gives us the order: The attributes of these churches are also representative of present day churches. We have both extremes, the Philadelphian church - those that are watching and waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and the Laodicean type church that is a church in name only.

Prophecies in the Parables
Manufacturer: Aaron C Ministries, Inc. ProductGroup: DVD Binding: DVD ASIN: B0009TIDKQ |
Product Description
Audio/Visual Slide Presentation. Many believers have read the parables of our Lord but have failed to see that many are aimed at prophecy. Jesus told the disciples that it was not meant that the people understand the parables. In Matthew He makes this quite clear: Then the disciples came and said to him,"Why do you speak to them in parables?" And he answered them, "To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. Christ was not ready to unveil the mystery of the church age. But that does not take away from the fact that many keys to prophecies are located in the parables, and the reverse is also true. For example the parable of the sower provides keys to several other verses in Scripture. Of the four soils only one produced fruit, the fruit is the believers in the church, and at the rapture the believers are taken out of this world. Revelation indicates that 25 percent will be taken in the Seals of Tribulation, and this number includes all the believers at that time. This represents those of the good soil, they were saved. But 25% of the seeds were snatched away by the fowls of the air, Satan and his demons. The parable of the Mustard Seed is a prophetic view of the modern church, which houses the fowls of the air.
