Last Flight Out (2003)

 

Billy Graham and World Wide Pictures presents an intense story of international rescue and unresolved romance.

Running out of time, Ann's father, Tony (Cliff DeYoung, "Suicide Kings"), turns to an old friend for help -- washed-up pilot and Ann's ex-boyfriend Dan Hogan (Richard Tyson, "Black Hawk Down").

The Bible Code: Predicting Armageddon (2003)

 

Experts like CalTech's Barry Simon debate the theory that the Scriptures contain a highly accurate prophetic system.

    Does the Bible hold within it hidden messages about people and events such as Hitler, Napoleon and 9/11?
    Experts from both sides of the issue present their best cases.
    Find out how the alleged code works — and what it suggests for our future.



There are those who believe that the Old Testament is filled with predictions. If one knows where to look, and how, there are references to figures like Hitler, Napoleon and Einstein, and events including the Second World War and the attacks of 9/11. And, of course, there are signs of what the future holds.

THE BIBLE CODE analyzes this controversial theory with the help of leading lights on both sides of the issue. Code researchers like Roy A. Reingold tell how the ancient code works, and what it says, while skeptics from top institutions like MIT and CalTech weigh in on the other side of the issue, though not everyone in academia believes that the code must be false.

Take a balanced look at the surprising theory that holds that, in some ways, the scriptures are the world's first computer program.

Among the subjects explored are the formation of the laws of the Jews, the origins of their customs, and their strongly held and strictly enforced moral values. The playlist bellow includes individual episodes, each around 55 minutes long: By the Rivers of Babylon, The Book and the Sword, The End of Days, and The Gifts of the Jews. As often as possible, Kingdom of David was filmed on the exact locations where the historical events described herein occurred.
