Default Before the Wrath

This week I found a movie on Fubo: Before the Wrath It's available other places. I've transcribed part of the opening comments below: (emphasis added)

Quote:
It’s been 2000 years since the final prophecies were recorded, and today the foundation for the convergence of nearly every prophetic sign foretold and the remaining Biblical prophecies have never been more prominent. As a result, a recent rise in debate regarding the signs of the times has led to growing division regarding when the Messiah will return. After all, if the events prophesied within the ancient records are indeed to come to pass, then knowing the timing of the Lord’s return would be of great importance.

The timing is a real hot-button, especially among religious people, Christians and what the like. We love predictability. We want to know when He’s going to be coming back.

The conflict, the disagreement, the contention over the timing of the rapture, and particularly in the last ten years, has gone off the charts.

Instead of saying “my how they love one another” as they said of the early church, now today they say of the church, “my how they fight with one another”.

Recent findings from organizations, such as Lifeway Research, confirm that the infighting among Christians is deepening.

In one of our surveys we asked when they thought the rapture might occur:
36% (the largest group) though it might occur “pre-tribulation”.
4% believe it will happen in the middle (of the tribulation)
18% believe the rapture will happen at the end of the tribulation.
13% believe in “other views”, and
4% are “not sure”.
25% the remaining, a growing statistic, no longer believe in a literal rapture at all.

Why is this happening?
There is a sobering discussion around the 25%, in the church, who no longer believe in a literal rapture. At least I understood that the 25% were in the church. I could be wrong.

I really like this movie. It's well done and contains an interesting and different point of view. I couldn't find any deviation to scriptural truth. I'm watching it again...just in case!

Most of the movie covers (spoiler alert) a wedding in Galilee (not Canaan). I hope you find it somewhere and take a look.
