I watched about an hour of it. The camera work made me dizzy and there was really no direction. It was just a bunch of newsreel shots taken from past events and pasted together to try to make it seem like it was happening now.

Had to turn it off.

Not bad, as fake documentaries go. However, once more, our Socialist American media choose to depict the Antichrist as a white male in a business suit. The Antichrist is never depicted as a black man, he’s never depicted as yellow or red or brown guy from a Third World nation...He’s ALWAYS depicted as a white male in a business suit, like he just came in from Wall Street, right, with a sinister Capitalist agenda. Thanks, History Channel, for more of your inane Socialist propaganda.

I watched for entertainment purposes only. Their Presidential succession of pres, vp, FEMA director (DEMA or something like that in the show) bothered me immediately and more than anything else.

10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, 11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. Revelation 1:10-11 (KJV)

The Book of Revelation was not written to you. It was not written to me. It was not written to us. When I tell people this, their immediate response is one of horror and outrage. “So you believe nothing in the Bible was written for us”, comes the usual reply. Notice the subtle prepositional shift, as though to state that a letter written specifically to a group of first century churches renders the entire Bible meaningless to us today!

This is a fairly common, emotionally charged, response when most people are confronted by this fundamental truth: a truth that comes to us straight from the pen of the apostle John himself! Yet the implications of reading ourselves into the pages of Revelation are as dangerous as they are far-reaching, and negatively impact our understanding of all other eschatological texts found throughout the Bible.

Failure to recognize and acknowledge the audience, to whom these prophetic authors were writing, has caused needless strife and confusion in the church for almost 2,000 years.

Unless you are a persecuted 1st century Christian, or member of one of these seven churches living 2,000 years ago, the very first chapter of Revelation is clear: this letter was not written to you.

Some would argue that the churches in Revelation 1:11 are types of churches that have appeared throughout history. Others argue that they are the invisible, universal body of Christ that has gone through phases throughout history.

Unfortunately, the text itself allows for no such wiggle room, because if the textual revisionists are right, this phrase makes no sense at all:

“…send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia…”

So even if we assume, for the sake of argument, that the seven churches represent seven types or phases of the church throughout history, then they all must exist in Asia, thus eliminating churches from every other continent from consideration!

Preterists are often falsely accused of playing fast and loose with scripture, yet the only way for Futurists to make Revelation all about us is to ignore 1:11 in its entirety, because verse 11 makes clear that these were seven churches in Asia: not America, Europe, or Australia!

If words mean anything, “Asia” does not mean “North America!”

But while Revelation 1:11 presents an insurmountable geographic challenge to those who claim the book is about us, numerous other verses present an even larger temporal challenge!

1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: 2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. 3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. Revelation 1:1-3 (KJV)

John’s intent to convey the timeliness of these events was so clear, he repeated these phrases several more times throughout the letter!

But that which ye have already hold fast till I come. Revelation 2:25 (KJV)

Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. Revelation 3:11 (KJV)

(How could they hold fast to anything if they all died waiting for the fulfillment of these verses?)

Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Revelation 3:20 (KJV)

(Compare Revelation 3:20 with James 5:9: Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.)

And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done. Revelation 22:6 (KJV)

Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. Revelation 22:7 (KJV)

And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. Revelation 22:10 (KJV)

(Compare Revelation 22:10 with Daniel 12:4: But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.)

And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. Revelation 22:12 (KJV)

He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. Revelation 22:20 (KJV)

Those who argue that these words were written to us must make the case that words like “soon” and “at hand” really mean “much later” and “far away”: that “soon” and “at hand” meant something different to John and the first century church than they do to us today! They must make the case that the God who created all language at the Tower of Babel is incapable of communicating His meaning clearly to these seven churches in any of them!

It’s clear by audience, geography, and time that this book was not written to us! Understanding this crucial truth is the key to understanding the Book of Revelation itself.

Everything the History Channel does about Christianity is garbage.
They avoid the Bible at all cost, and try to disprove the Bible at every turn.
You might as well listen to an atheist tell you about Jesus, as to listen to the History Channel.

NO THANKS !!!

I was looking forward to it, but when I saw they were using the jiggly camera approach I had to switch the channel.
I get headaches watching that type of format.

I used to watch these type of shows a few years ago then was surprised that people put them on youtube. Some are good and some are not. Ancient Aliens started out interesting and got far fetched as the episodes went on. UFO Hunters was much better show on that topic.

Geez, some of these threads.

So many poster’s “I haven’t watched it and would never watch it” They then offer an opinion. Idjits.

It wasn’t bad. Was it perfect? No. You could learn a few things, some of them wrong (I’m not sure that constitutes learning, but hey). But it was entertaining, and thought provoking at times.

It wasn’t bad. I’ve seen worse.

As for those offended by the “Christian terrorists”? Those were the good guys, merely labelled as such by the anti-christ. Oh yeah, the good guys win.
