Countdown to Apocalypse
The Book of Revelation lists seven signs of the end times: plagues, famine, earthquakes, a sky gone dark, oceans turned to blood, and an antichrist rising for a final battle between good and evil. This program, hosted by Terry L. Cook and featuring Chris Putnam, co-author of Petrus Romanus, treats those signs as testable claims rather than metaphor. A falling star becomes a stand-in for the thousands of near-Earth asteroids astronomers now track. The plague of prophecy is matched against researchers' fears of a lethal avian flu strain. Blood-red oceans are traced to real microorganisms whose neurotoxins act like nerve gas on marine life and humans alike. Alongside the science, the film digs into the origins of Revelation itself, asking why a text written for a first-century audience still shapes disaster movies, news cycles, and survivalist bunkers two thousand years later. It plays the ancient text and the modern data side by side and lets viewers weigh how far the parallel actually holds.
