Documentary reveals modern-day fulfillment of biblical prophecies

Joel Richardson’s documentary “End Times Eyewitness: Israel, Islam and the unfolding signs of the Messiah’s Return,” by WND Films, was named Thursday as an official selection for the 2015 Christian Worldview Film Festival.

“As a first-time film director partnering with WND, it is truly an honor that our film has been chosen as an official selection for the 2015 Christian Worldview Film Festival,” Richardson said. “From the onset, we have only desired to convey the urgency of the hour that we’re now living in.

“Our hope has been that many within the church will return to that sobriety and focus possessed by so many of the early believers who were able to turn the ancient world upside down in just one brief generation,” he said.

Filmed in the turbulent geopolitical landscape of the Middle East and featuring a multitude of prominent Islamic voices, the movie shows viewers how the region, since the Arab Spring, has been aligning with biblical prophecy. Richardson calls attention to the apparent fulfillment of several prophetic signs that suggest Jesus Christ may soon return.

“We trust that being selected for the festival will help to further get the message out and spark a growing passion for evangelism, missions, holiness and a deeper longing for the return of Jesus, our blessed hope,” Richardson said. “For this, we are truly grateful to the selection committee, and we are excited to see what the future holds, not only for this film, but many forthcoming projects as well.”
