There seems to be a growing trend in the "christian" community to produce movies about the tribulation but are these films doing more harm than good? Let's take a good look at these films and the actors that are starring in these films. First of all, these movies claim to base their scripts on the Bible. However, the Bible does not give us names and characters and is not specific on how each detail will be performed.
These movies set the viewers minds or a better word would be to say that they condition the viewers into thinking and believing that the scenario will be portrayed just that way. Hollywood has been doing this for years with movies about the antichrist and giving him a face and an identity.
Now ask yourself this question... would the devil want to make movies about the antichrist? The danger in making these kind of films is that when the antichrist really does come on the scene, he most likely will be the opposite of how these movies portray him to be. The world will be deceived. The devil is subtle. He is not going to place a hitler type into the antichrist role but rather a person that the whole world will trust-- a humanitarian, a man who appears humble, a peacemaker.
Remember that the devil comes as an angel of light. The antichrist will be a man that the whole world will trust in the beginning-- even the religious world. So to make movies about the tribulation BEFORE it has happened is VERY DANGEROUS because we don't know exactly HOW all those things written in Revelation will take place. To place ideas and even faces into the viewer's minds BEFORE IT TAKES PLACE is very dangerous. They are toying with things that will really happen IN THE FUTURE.
The Bible says they will happen and to give the antichrist a face and precondition the viewers BEFORE this has happened is very dangerous-- especially if those events will NOT even happen the way the movie depicts that they will. It is devilish propaganda and more people will be deceived because when the REAL antichrist comes onto the stage, they will not recognize him because they will be expecting the antichrist to be someone else.
