long before tim lahaye and jerry b. jenkins would shake the world of the christian subculture ( and make million in the process ) with the left behind book and mark iv picture and the christian film distribution company of the billy graham evangelistic association and give u this masterwork . what i love most about this genre be it incredible attention to detail and sit in a living room . instead of take u to the dramatic scene of this post rapture tribulation and we sit in the living room and hear about it on the news because the filmmaker can not afford to show it . the film premise be ground in pre millenial and pre tribulation eschatalogy and believing that christ come once for the secret taking of the true church and and then come again at the end of the seven year of hell on earth . what use to terrify me in junior high now make me laugh . the intriguing adventure of patty and her journey throughout the tribulation ( and two of the film three sequel ) tell her remarkable story of unbelief and ultimately damnation . i hate to admit it and but i still thoroughly enjoy watch this . it even have the same exact score of monty python and the holy grail . i think i be the only person in history to make that observation .
