We're glad you joined us
in Laymen Ministry studio.
00:00:30.23\00:00:32.63
We're actually in a
set that was created for
00:00:32.66\00:00:35.46
part of a documentary
we're working on right now
00:00:35.50\00:00:37.00
called The Days of Noah
00:00:37.03\00:00:38.37
but I don't want to do
any spoiler alerts here.
00:00:38.40\00:00:40.14
I have Michael
McAfee and Chris Tempel,
00:00:40.17\00:00:43.57
or do you call it Tempel?
00:00:43.61\00:00:44.94
Tempel. Yeah, I
always say it wrong.
00:00:44.97\00:00:47.31
But in our studio
00:00:47.34\00:00:48.68
and you two have
been working here
00:00:48.71\00:00:50.05
on this project with us
00:00:50.08\00:00:51.41
and have been part
of Laymen Ministries
00:00:51.45\00:00:52.78
for quite a while.
00:00:52.81\00:00:54.15
And Mike, you've been
with Laymen Ministries for--
00:00:54.18\00:00:55.52
About seven years now. Wow.
00:00:55.55\00:00:56.99
And Chris, you're
kind of a newcomer.
00:00:57.02\00:00:58.35
How long have you been here?
00:00:58.39\00:00:59.72
Just over two years now. Okay.
00:00:59.75\00:01:01.09
And what do you
bring to the ministry?
00:01:01.12\00:01:03.09
Why did you, you
come here to work here?
00:01:03.12\00:01:04.99
Because I love serving the Lord
00:01:05.03\00:01:06.43
and I have a background
in film and video production
00:01:06.46\00:01:08.73
and visual effects as well
00:01:08.76\00:01:11.13
and so been reading a lot
about it to the magazines.
00:01:11.17\00:01:14.34
You guys said
you're looking for help
00:01:14.37\00:01:15.70
so I'm like hey, I
think this would be fun.
00:01:15.74\00:01:17.07
It'd be cool to be a part of it.
00:01:17.11\00:01:18.44
Yeah, we're glad you joined us.
00:01:18.47\00:01:19.81
And Mike, you've
been here seven years
00:01:19.84\00:01:21.18
what all have you've
been involved with doing?
00:01:21.21\00:01:22.54
I've been-- started out
doing the mission of videos.
00:01:22.58\00:01:24.91
And as the--
after about a year or so
00:01:24.95\00:01:28.12
we started talking about
doing The Days in Noah project
00:01:28.15\00:01:30.25
and we finally
started actually shooting that
00:01:30.29\00:01:33.46
and getting the
project underway about
00:01:33.49\00:01:35.02
four years ago I think now.
00:01:35.06\00:01:36.79
And that's what we're
going to be talking about
00:01:36.83\00:01:38.53
today on this program.
00:01:38.56\00:01:39.89
So what exactly is
The Days of Noah, Mike?
00:01:39.93\00:01:44.57
Well, in a nutshell The
Days of Noah documentary
00:01:44.60\00:01:46.80
is comparing the
story of Noah and the flood,
00:01:46.84\00:01:49.44
which is a story
which most people are
00:01:49.47\00:01:51.27
somewhat familiar with,
00:01:51.31\00:01:52.67
and using that as a template
to help explain Bible prophecy,
00:01:52.71\00:01:56.21
end times events and
the Three Angels' Messages.
00:01:56.24\00:01:58.61
So that's really what we
wanted to do is to explain
00:01:58.65\00:02:01.18
really what's going to
happen at the end of time
00:02:01.22\00:02:02.82
but do it in such a way that
00:02:02.85\00:02:04.29
is through the lens
of the story of Noah,
00:02:04.32\00:02:06.79
and that people
are familiar with.
00:02:06.82\00:02:08.66
And I know we've been working
on this for quite some time
00:02:08.69\00:02:11.23
but to be honest with you,
I'm still excited about this
00:02:11.26\00:02:13.73
as that I was when we
first started talking about it
00:02:13.76\00:02:15.66
several years ago.
00:02:15.70\00:02:17.03
And then when we
actually went into production,
00:02:17.07\00:02:18.40
I was pretty
excited about this concept
00:02:18.43\00:02:19.93
because it's
something completely different
00:02:19.97\00:02:21.90
than we've ever seen produced
00:02:21.94\00:02:23.97
ever about Bible topics,
prophecy, the flood story,
00:02:24.01\00:02:28.08
geology and all these
different things tied together.
00:02:28.11\00:02:30.68
It's really quite an
extensive documentary.
00:02:30.71\00:02:32.95
But you've prepared
00:02:32.98\00:02:34.32
like an
introductory type of promo video
00:02:34.35\00:02:38.52
that kind of
highlights what this is about.
00:02:38.55\00:02:41.02
Do you want tell us about that?
00:02:41.06\00:02:42.39
And then we can
roll it let the...
00:02:42.42\00:02:43.76
Yeah, we have a intro
00:02:43.79\00:02:45.13
that's about two
and a half minutes
00:02:45.16\00:02:46.49
and the first part of
which just gives people,
00:02:46.53\00:02:48.36
sets the stage really for
what the story is all about,
00:02:48.40\00:02:51.27
what the film is all about.
00:02:51.30\00:02:52.83
Okay, well, let's go
ahead and roll that right now.
00:02:52.87\00:02:54.57
In Matthew 24:37-39,
00:03:02.91\00:03:06.68
Jesus takes a look
at how the days of Noah
00:03:06.72\00:03:12.22
would be a picture
of how things would be
00:03:12.25\00:03:16.29
at the end of time.
00:03:16.32\00:03:18.66
"As it was in the days of Noah,
00:03:18.69\00:03:21.56
so shall it be in the days
at the coming of Son of man."
00:03:21.60\00:03:24.90
He speaks of how they
00:03:24.93\00:03:26.27
were carrying on
the daily activities,
00:03:26.30\00:03:28.97
marrying and giving in marriage,
00:03:29.00\00:03:30.34
eating and drinking
00:03:30.37\00:03:31.71
and they weren't
paying attention.
00:03:31.74\00:03:33.07
And they didn't know
that flood was gonna come,
00:03:33.11\00:03:37.08
despite a 120
years of preaching.
00:03:37.11\00:03:41.08
"So shall it be," it says,
00:03:41.12\00:03:42.45
in the coming of the Son of man.
00:03:42.48\00:03:44.22
History is repeating itself.
00:03:48.12\00:03:49.62
I'm sure the Lord
looks down from heaven now.
00:03:49.66\00:03:51.99
Jesus said, "As it
was in the days of Noah,
00:03:52.03\00:03:54.10
so will it be in the
days of the Son of man."
00:03:54.13\00:03:56.70
And we're seeing
that in the world today
00:03:56.73\00:03:58.63
with the violence in the land,
00:03:58.67\00:04:00.20
the selfishness
and self worship,
00:04:00.24\00:04:02.30
it's out there.
00:04:02.34\00:04:03.67
And I think it just-- is
breaking the heart of God.
00:04:03.71\00:04:05.71
Perhaps, the
single most important,
00:04:08.21\00:04:10.51
practical lesson to try and find
00:04:10.55\00:04:13.52
the present day application for
00:04:13.55\00:04:16.52
is, what does it
mean to get on the ark.
00:04:16.55\00:04:20.79
We are living in
the judgment hour.
00:04:20.82\00:04:23.29
We're living in
the final twilight
00:04:23.32\00:04:25.89
in the world's history,
00:04:25.93\00:04:27.80
where we're standing on
the threshold of eternity.
00:04:27.83\00:04:30.43
And people need to
realize these are awesome times,
00:04:30.47\00:04:33.87
more so than any
other time in history.
00:04:33.90\00:04:36.17
Because the sun
is really going down
00:04:36.20\00:04:38.51
on the world's probation.
00:04:38.54\00:04:40.04
And now is the time
00:04:40.08\00:04:41.41
when people need to
prepare to meet their God.
00:04:41.44\00:04:44.21
So I think as people watch
that little introductory clip,
00:04:44.25\00:04:46.72
that's only just half of it
00:04:46.75\00:04:48.18
and we'll show the last half
at the end of this broadcast.
00:04:48.22\00:04:50.45
But I'm sure some of you
00:04:50.49\00:04:51.82
probably heard
about this project,
00:04:51.85\00:04:53.19
if you're from there
with Laymen Ministries.
00:04:53.22\00:04:54.59
But it's been
taking quite a while.
00:04:54.62\00:04:56.69
And as you can see from just
that little bit of the intro,
00:04:56.73\00:04:59.89
there's going to be a lot
of people involved with this.
00:04:59.93\00:05:01.96
We've spent a whole summer
interviewing people, geologist,
00:05:02.00\00:05:05.47
paleontologists,
scientists, theologians,
00:05:05.50\00:05:08.20
different well known
people in the church,
00:05:08.24\00:05:09.80
but what have we finally decide
00:05:09.84\00:05:11.77
and how we're going
to produce this series?
00:05:11.81\00:05:15.58
Well, as we started
putting the project together,
00:05:15.61\00:05:18.78
we'd always started
out with a template.
00:05:18.81\00:05:21.02
We wanted the
first section to be about
00:05:21.05\00:05:23.25
looking at the scientific
evidences for the flood.
00:05:23.28\00:05:25.85
Then we wanted to segue into
00:05:25.89\00:05:28.02
how society and
culture has shifted now
00:05:28.06\00:05:30.23
to completely a
more atheistic worldview.
00:05:30.26\00:05:33.50
And then we also
wanted to talk about
00:05:33.53\00:05:35.36
the Three Angels' messages,
00:05:35.40\00:05:37.33
the 2,300 day
prophecy and really compare
00:05:37.37\00:05:41.14
the first Angel's message,
00:05:41.17\00:05:42.87
which is the hour
of His judgment is come
00:05:42.90\00:05:44.94
with the judgment
hour message that Noah had.
00:05:44.97\00:05:47.51
And so we've set out to
do that and in the process,
00:05:47.54\00:05:51.38
one of the
things we decided to do
00:05:51.41\00:05:52.91
was to make this film,
00:05:52.95\00:05:55.25
three films instead of just one.
00:05:55.28\00:05:57.39
One of the main
reasons for doing that
00:05:57.42\00:05:58.85
was to give us more time,
00:05:58.89\00:06:01.42
screen time to help
explain these concepts
00:06:01.46\00:06:04.49
to the audience in a more
comprehensive and clear way
00:06:04.53\00:06:07.86
and which will
really help them sink in.
00:06:07.90\00:06:09.86
So the first part,
00:06:09.90\00:06:12.27
where we talk about
the scientific evidence
00:06:12.30\00:06:13.90
is for the flood, we
go to the Grand Canyon,
00:06:13.94\00:06:15.70
we look at some of the different
00:06:15.74\00:06:17.07
sedimentary layers
00:06:17.11\00:06:18.87
and we finish the first section
00:06:18.91\00:06:20.98
by establishing the fact
that there was a judgment
00:06:21.01\00:06:24.15
and just leave the
viewer with the question,
00:06:24.18\00:06:26.31
well, when does the
last judgment hour begin.
00:06:26.35\00:06:29.02
Hence, in part two
00:06:29.05\00:06:30.89
we start off with William Miller
00:06:30.92\00:06:34.06
and his study of
the 2,300 day prophecy,
00:06:34.09\00:06:37.56
which as we know
points us to 1844
00:06:37.59\00:06:40.13
in conjunction with
the First Angel's message
00:06:40.16\00:06:42.10
which says that the
hour of his judgment is come.
00:06:42.13\00:06:44.20
You want to be careful not
to give away too much here.
00:06:44.23\00:06:47.04
Spoiler alert.
00:06:47.07\00:06:48.57
There is there's so much more
00:06:48.60\00:06:49.94
I could even
possibly spoil it out.
00:06:49.97\00:06:51.47
That's why we ended
up having to make it
00:06:51.51\00:06:52.87
into three DVD segments.
00:06:52.91\00:06:54.94
But at the end
of the second part
00:06:54.98\00:06:56.58
we really have
established the fact that
00:06:56.61\00:06:58.75
we are actually now
living in the days of Noah
00:06:58.81\00:07:01.18
for the last generation.
00:07:01.22\00:07:02.98
And then leave the viewer
00:07:03.02\00:07:04.35
with the question of
well, then what is the ark.
00:07:04.39\00:07:06.76
We have prepared a clip
00:07:06.79\00:07:08.12
that deals with the one segment.
00:07:08.16\00:07:10.63
That is called
Investigating the Judgment
00:07:10.66\00:07:13.43
and why don't we go
ahead and watch that right now
00:07:13.46\00:07:15.36
and the people can
just a little bit of a taste
00:07:15.40\00:07:17.20
of the introductory
part of that segment.
00:07:17.23\00:07:19.37
God sent a flood of water
00:07:22.77\00:07:24.37
to wash away the
evil of that age.
00:07:24.41\00:07:26.98
But one question remains.
00:07:27.01\00:07:28.74
Could a
worldwide catastrophe occur
00:07:28.78\00:07:30.85
and not leave
behind some evidence
00:07:30.88\00:07:32.68
that it actually happened?
00:07:32.71\00:07:34.12
The global flood is more than
just a story written in a book.
00:07:34.15\00:07:37.15
It's written in
the earth itself.
00:07:37.19\00:07:39.02
And these
physical evidences remain
00:07:39.05\00:07:41.09
as a witness in a warning to us.
00:07:41.12\00:07:43.32
So now, let's take some time
to investigate the judgment.
00:07:43.36\00:07:47.00
One of the most unique
00:08:53.23\00:08:54.56
and beautiful
features of the Grand Canyon
00:08:54.60\00:08:56.26
are the various different
colored sedimentary layers
00:08:56.30\00:08:58.30
that run along a
Canyon walls for miles.
00:08:58.33\00:09:00.77
These layers are made up
of sandstone and limestone
00:09:00.80\00:09:02.97
and that's what creates
that rainbow in the rocks.
00:09:03.00\00:09:05.74
It's one of the things
that makes the Grand Canyon
00:09:05.77\00:09:07.44
so awesome to look at.
00:09:07.48\00:09:10.18
But not only these layers
unique to the Grand Canyon,
00:09:10.21\00:09:12.85
they give us our greatest clue
on how the Canyon was formed.
00:09:12.88\00:09:16.05
So the section we just watched
was the kind of the intro
00:09:20.02\00:09:22.29
for the Investigating
the Judgment section.
00:09:22.32\00:09:24.33
And as we see, we
went to the Grand Canyon
00:09:24.36\00:09:26.80
and shot you hanging
off the edge of the cliff
00:09:26.83\00:09:29.36
and a few different places.
00:09:29.40\00:09:30.73
And so I think that's--
00:09:30.77\00:09:33.74
really going to the Grand Canyon
00:09:33.77\00:09:35.10
and really shooting a
lot of those evidences
00:09:35.14\00:09:37.01
was another way to
really establish the fact
00:09:37.04\00:09:39.04
that a judgment had happened.
00:09:39.07\00:09:40.98
And so that segment
was kind of the opening
00:09:41.01\00:09:43.28
for laying the groundwork
00:09:43.31\00:09:44.65
for all the scientific evidences
00:09:44.68\00:09:46.82
that have shown that the
flood actually did happen
00:09:46.85\00:09:49.38
and it was a global catastrophe.
00:09:49.42\00:09:51.62
And because of the
broad number of subjects
00:09:51.65\00:09:54.72
covered in this documentary,
00:09:54.76\00:09:56.46
this is going to be a
great witnessing tool for you
00:09:56.49\00:09:59.03
to be able to give
it to your friends,
00:09:59.06\00:10:00.40
family members and
such because you know,
00:10:00.43\00:10:02.36
let's face it a
lot of people today
00:10:02.40\00:10:03.73
don't want to sit
down and open a Bible
00:10:03.77\00:10:05.13
and have a serious
talk about religious things.
00:10:05.17\00:10:08.47
But to hand them
just a simple DVD set
00:10:08.50\00:10:10.84
and say, "Hey, watch this.
00:10:10.87\00:10:12.21
This is dealing with
science and some history,
00:10:12.24\00:10:13.94
Bible prophecy, you
might be interested."
00:10:13.98\00:10:15.84
That it will
catch their attention.
00:10:15.88\00:10:17.68
And it will be
something that will draw them in
00:10:17.71\00:10:19.95
and to be able
to walk them through
00:10:19.98\00:10:22.18
significant
prophecies in the Bible
00:10:22.22\00:10:24.15
that'll lead them to a
relationship with Christ.
00:10:24.19\00:10:26.96
And I remember when we started
00:10:26.99\00:10:28.36
talking about going into
the next segment of like,
00:10:28.39\00:10:30.99
how do we help
people to understand
00:10:31.03\00:10:32.49
one of the most amazing
prophecies in the Scriptures,
00:10:32.53\00:10:35.63
the prophecies
of the 2,300 days.
00:10:35.66\00:10:37.97
I mean, this is the prophecy
that nails down the time
00:10:38.00\00:10:40.00
that Christ was baptized,
he entered in his ministry.
00:10:40.04\00:10:42.60
And it points to the
future to win a judgment hour
00:10:42.64\00:10:45.61
was gonna come the second time.
00:10:45.64\00:10:47.14
And Chris, I know,
00:10:47.18\00:10:48.51
you're kind of the
graphics animation guy here.
00:10:48.54\00:10:50.45
You were involved with
some of the animations for,
00:10:50.48\00:10:53.31
you know, the graphic
work for this segment.
00:10:53.35\00:10:55.65
What kind of
things were you doing?
00:10:55.68\00:10:57.39
The William Miller's
section, I've done a lot of fun,
00:10:57.42\00:11:00.36
V effects work in that.
00:11:00.39\00:11:02.22
There's a shot
near the beginning
00:11:02.26\00:11:04.26
where we shot
down in Boise, Idaho,
00:11:04.29\00:11:06.96
coming down the
outside of the house.
00:11:07.00\00:11:08.90
And the effect of the shot
00:11:08.93\00:11:10.27
was to then make the
camera come from the outside,
00:11:10.30\00:11:11.93
pass through a window
00:11:11.97\00:11:13.30
into the set that
we're in right now.
00:11:13.34\00:11:14.67
This is actually the room
00:11:14.70\00:11:16.04
where William Miller
was studying the prophecy.
00:11:16.07\00:11:17.41
This is the room. Yeah.
00:11:17.44\00:11:18.77
So we had to match, you know,
00:11:18.81\00:11:20.14
a location here in St. Mary's
to look down in Boise Idaho.
00:11:20.18\00:11:22.24
So sticking
cardboard in the windows
00:11:22.28\00:11:24.38
and just we had
tracking marks for it
00:11:24.41\00:11:25.91
and then using
some software make it,
00:11:25.95\00:11:27.85
the two shots merged together
00:11:27.88\00:11:29.25
and replace all the
glass and that kind of thing.
00:11:29.28\00:11:30.89
So that was pretty cool.
00:11:30.92\00:11:32.25
We actually shot one of
the oldest houses in Idaho
00:11:32.29\00:11:34.42
which I think was
built in the 1860s.
00:11:34.46\00:11:35.79
Yes.
00:11:35.82\00:11:37.16
So we were really
looking for something
00:11:37.19\00:11:38.53
that was reminiscent of what
William Miller would have had.
00:11:38.56\00:11:41.73
And it's difficult to
find this far west but--
00:11:41.76\00:11:44.10
Yeah. So we had to shoot.
00:11:44.13\00:11:45.47
'Cause he is in New England
and we're in Pacific Northwest.
00:11:45.50\00:11:46.84
Yeah, exactly.
00:11:46.87\00:11:48.20
So we had to shoot at
two locations, you know.
00:11:48.24\00:11:49.97
But what I felt
was interesting too
00:11:50.01\00:11:51.64
is we actually
shot him up on the hill,
00:11:51.67\00:11:53.44
up here and he was
reading a Bible outside.
00:11:53.48\00:11:55.94
And in the background
00:11:55.98\00:11:57.71
when he does the
one shot you see,
00:11:57.75\00:11:59.31
the house in, Southern Idaho,
00:11:59.35\00:12:01.55
in the background
there so you're the guy
00:12:01.58\00:12:03.02
that's kind of like putting
those things together like that
00:12:03.05\00:12:05.25
and then well, of course,
William Miller comes around
00:12:05.29\00:12:06.82
and he goes into the house
00:12:06.86\00:12:08.19
and he comes into this set here.
00:12:08.22\00:12:09.56
They don't have
clear cut logging
00:12:09.59\00:12:10.93
back in William Miller's
day that I'm aware of at least.
00:12:10.96\00:12:12.53
And out here we're in
the middle of a logging town.
00:12:12.56\00:12:15.56
So there's a few
shots in the film
00:12:15.60\00:12:17.47
where I had to go through
00:12:17.50\00:12:18.87
and paint in the forest
in the background again.
00:12:18.90\00:12:21.54
And then to help match it up
00:12:21.57\00:12:23.14
make it look
like it was old farm
00:12:23.17\00:12:24.67
and that kind of thing.
00:12:24.71\00:12:26.04
We put horses in
the field behind him
00:12:26.07\00:12:27.78
and a big ole maple
tree in the foreground
00:12:27.81\00:12:30.65
and all that's digital help
tied into the other location
00:12:30.68\00:12:33.82
and make it look more
like it was shot back East.
00:12:33.85\00:12:36.69
Moving telephone poles.
00:12:36.72\00:12:38.05
Yeah, and cars from the
highway and freeway and stuff,
00:12:38.09\00:12:40.62
just painting stuff out.
00:12:40.66\00:12:42.22
And I don't think
people have any idea
00:12:42.26\00:12:44.16
of how much
behind-the-scenes work
00:12:44.19\00:12:46.03
goes into doing a
production like this.
00:12:46.06\00:12:48.26
And even for me, this
is the biggest production
00:12:48.30\00:12:50.43
that the ministry has ever
been involved with producing.
00:12:50.47\00:12:53.10
And I watched how long it
takes to get the lighting right,
00:12:53.13\00:12:58.27
and to get everything
right and we were hiring actors,
00:12:58.31\00:13:01.21
screening people to be actors
00:13:01.24\00:13:03.81
for the different
segments that we were shooting.
00:13:03.85\00:13:06.95
There's a lot involved
00:13:06.98\00:13:08.32
with pulling off a
production like this.
00:13:08.35\00:13:10.12
So what was the whole point
00:13:10.15\00:13:11.59
of trying to have William Miller
00:13:11.62\00:13:12.95
be part of The Days
of Noah documentary?
00:13:12.99\00:13:15.66
What are we
trying to reveal there?
00:13:15.69\00:13:17.43
It's hugely significant
00:13:17.46\00:13:18.79
because William Miller
studying 2,300 day prophecy.
00:13:18.83\00:13:23.90
That prophecy really leads us to
00:13:23.93\00:13:26.30
when the
judgment hour would begin
00:13:26.33\00:13:28.57
when the First
Angel's message says
00:13:28.60\00:13:29.94
the hour of His
judgment is come.
00:13:29.97\00:13:31.84
And we know that
Noah had a judgment
00:13:31.87\00:13:33.48
our message in his day.
00:13:33.51\00:13:35.01
And so, really
what we're looking at is
00:13:35.04\00:13:36.38
the anti-typical proclamation
of the judgment hour
00:13:36.41\00:13:39.85
at the end of time and
Noah had a message also,
00:13:39.88\00:13:43.79
that was a judgment
hour message and so the--
00:13:43.82\00:13:46.69
comparing the two is
just really significant
00:13:46.72\00:13:49.26
'cause it really
helps us understand
00:13:49.29\00:13:50.63
that we are actually living
mathematically and specifically
00:13:50.66\00:13:54.10
in the days of Noah
for the last generation.
00:13:54.13\00:13:56.43
I remember when we started
00:13:56.46\00:13:57.80
talking about
producing this segment,
00:13:57.83\00:13:59.50
we were thinking how
could we engage people
00:13:59.53\00:14:01.64
who are not familiar with
00:14:01.67\00:14:03.00
this kind of
prophecy in the Bible
00:14:03.04\00:14:04.37
about that prophecy.
00:14:04.41\00:14:05.94
We thought why not
have William Miller himself
00:14:05.97\00:14:08.71
explain it to the viewers,
while he's discovering it.
00:14:08.74\00:14:12.65
And I have to admit
00:14:12.68\00:14:14.02
when I first
watched the edited scenes,
00:14:14.05\00:14:16.12
I got goosebumps, because
00:14:16.15\00:14:17.49
not only is it
really easy to understand,
00:14:17.52\00:14:20.56
but it was so well done.
00:14:20.59\00:14:22.92
The actor that we had
for it did an excellent job.
00:14:22.96\00:14:26.39
Let's give our
viewers just a little bit
00:14:26.43\00:14:27.76
of a taste of this
segment of William Miller
00:14:27.80\00:14:30.80
studying the
prophecies for himself.
00:14:30.83\00:14:33.74
The one most
significant contribution
00:14:33.77\00:14:36.50
that Miller gave us was to link
00:14:36.54\00:14:39.27
Daniel Chapter 8
and Daniel Chapter 9
00:14:39.31\00:14:42.84
and the advantage is
00:14:42.88\00:14:44.81
that a starting point is
given for Daniel Chapter 9.
00:14:44.85\00:14:47.82
The angel is telling Daniel,
00:14:47.85\00:14:49.28
he's going to give
him the starting point,
00:14:49.32\00:14:51.49
for not only the
2,300 day prophecy
00:14:51.52\00:14:55.42
that you find in Daniel 8:14.
00:14:55.46\00:14:57.93
But he
introduces another prophecy
00:14:57.96\00:14:59.69
about when will
the Messiah come.
00:14:59.73\00:15:01.70
"Know therefore and understand
00:15:01.73\00:15:03.97
that from the going forth
of the commandment to restore
00:15:04.00\00:15:06.57
and to build Jerusalem
unto the Messiah the Prince
00:15:06.60\00:15:09.94
shall be seven weeks and
three score and two weeks."
00:15:09.97\00:15:15.54
It would be seven weeks,
plus threescore and two weeks
00:15:15.58\00:15:19.21
for a total of 69 weeks
unto Messiah the Prince.
00:15:19.25\00:15:22.85
In this prophecy, however,
00:15:22.88\00:15:24.69
the event marking
the beginning of the time
00:15:24.72\00:15:26.76
to be calculated was given
00:15:26.79\00:15:28.62
from the commandment to
restore and to build Jerusalem.
00:15:28.66\00:15:31.96
With the new fervor and zeal
to understand this prophecy,
00:15:46.44\00:15:50.28
Miller searched for
the date of the commandment
00:15:50.31\00:15:52.35
to restore and
to build Jerusalem.
00:15:52.38\00:15:57.19
Whole nights and days
were devoted to the study
00:15:57.22\00:15:59.72
of what now appear to be
of stupendous importance.
00:15:59.75\00:16:03.36
His study paid off.
00:16:03.39\00:16:05.09
And he found the
commandment to restore
00:16:05.13\00:16:07.16
and to build Jerusalem in
the seventh chapter of Ezra.
00:16:07.20\00:16:11.37
"I make a decree that all
they of the people of Israel
00:16:11.40\00:16:15.14
and of his priests
and Levites in my realm,
00:16:15.17\00:16:17.54
which are minded
of their own free will
00:16:17.57\00:16:19.71
to go up to Jerusalem.
00:16:19.74\00:16:21.34
Go with it thee."
00:16:21.38\00:16:23.41
It was given by
King Artaxerxes I,
00:16:23.45\00:16:26.31
which Ezra records
00:16:26.35\00:16:27.68
was in the seventh
year Artaxerxes the king.
00:16:27.72\00:16:33.25
And our God is so good that
00:16:33.29\00:16:35.62
when He gives an
important prophecy in the Bible,
00:16:35.66\00:16:38.73
right in the prophecy,
He will give us evidence.
00:16:38.76\00:16:40.80
So there's no
question about the day.
00:16:40.83\00:16:43.10
In the same way,
in the Book of Ezra,
00:16:43.13\00:16:45.63
He tells us right
in the Book with Ezra
00:16:45.67\00:16:48.30
that decree is given,
that is the starting point.
00:16:48.34\00:16:51.51
William found the
reign of King Artaxerxes I,
00:16:54.24\00:16:57.21
began in the year 464 BC.
00:16:57.25\00:17:02.92
The seventh year of
his reign was 457 BC.
00:17:02.95\00:17:06.45
From this point, he
could calculate the prophecy
00:17:08.32\00:17:11.29
unto Messiah the Prince.
00:17:11.33\00:17:13.16
The period of sixty nine
weeks with seven days per week
00:17:17.67\00:17:21.30
was a total of 483 day
00:17:21.34\00:17:23.81
which was a symbol
for 483 literal years.
00:17:23.84\00:17:27.58
Not counting the years
zero which did not exist.
00:17:27.61\00:17:30.61
Miller eventually found
00:17:30.65\00:17:31.98
the prophecy
extended from 457 BC,
00:17:32.01\00:17:35.25
483 years into the
future unto Messiah the Prince,
00:17:35.28\00:17:39.42
which was 27 AD.
00:17:39.45\00:17:42.79
In autumn of this year,
00:17:42.82\00:17:44.33
Jesus was anointed by baptism
00:17:44.36\00:17:46.33
in the
fulfillment of the prophecy
00:17:46.36\00:17:48.03
to anoint the most holy.
00:17:48.06\00:17:49.56
And He began his
ministry as the Messiah.
00:17:49.60\00:17:52.40
The apostle Peter testifies
00:17:52.43\00:17:54.30
that God annoyed
Jesus of Nazareth
00:17:54.34\00:17:56.50
with the Holy
Ghost and with power.
00:17:56.54\00:17:59.77
In the Book of Luke Chapter 3,
00:17:59.81\00:18:01.81
one of the most
easily collaborated dates
00:18:01.84\00:18:06.08
is the date of Christ's baptism.
00:18:06.11\00:18:08.32
Luke gives more
information there
00:18:08.35\00:18:10.79
about who is ruling
00:18:10.82\00:18:12.39
and historians know
that there is only one year
00:18:12.42\00:18:15.26
that the for instance,
00:18:15.29\00:18:16.62
the fifteenth year of
the reign of Tiberius Caesar
00:18:16.66\00:18:18.53
and it tells who is high
priest and who is governor
00:18:18.56\00:18:21.30
and all the different officials.
00:18:21.33\00:18:23.23
There is only with one year
00:18:23.26\00:18:24.60
when all those
dates are overlapped.
00:18:24.63\00:18:26.27
And it was 27 AD.
00:18:26.30\00:18:27.90
At His baptism,
00:18:30.67\00:18:32.07
the last prophetic week
00:18:32.11\00:18:33.44
of the seven
literal year period began,
00:18:33.48\00:18:35.91
mark by the
appointing of the Messiah.
00:18:35.94\00:18:38.35
This was the seventh week.
00:18:38.38\00:18:40.45
The prophecy foretold.
00:18:40.48\00:18:42.18
He shall confirm the
covenant with many for one week.
00:18:42.22\00:18:45.35
And in the midst of the week,
00:18:45.39\00:18:47.16
He shall cause the
sacrifice and oblations
00:18:47.19\00:18:49.49
to cease on the cross.
00:18:49.52\00:18:51.86
That system of
sacrifices and offerings
00:18:51.89\00:18:54.33
which for 14 centuries pointed
to the Lamb of God was ended.
00:18:54.36\00:18:58.87
And the Messiah was cut off.
00:18:58.90\00:19:01.04
I'm a Jewish Christian.
But my mother is Jewish.
00:19:13.58\00:19:17.75
I know there are
couple of books in the Bible
00:19:17.79\00:19:19.55
that orthodox Jews
forbid their followers to study.
00:19:19.59\00:19:25.19
One of them
being Daniel Chapter 9
00:19:25.23\00:19:27.30
that clearly tells
from the commandment
00:19:27.33\00:19:30.40
to rebuild
Jerusalem unto the Messiah
00:19:30.43\00:19:32.87
and they know that it lines up
00:19:32.90\00:19:34.60
when you use the
day for your prophecy,
00:19:34.64\00:19:36.30
it lines up
perfectly with Jesus.
00:19:36.34\00:19:39.47
And it causes them
no small consternation
00:19:39.51\00:19:43.18
when you study that we found out
00:19:43.21\00:19:45.78
and accept Jesus as Messiah.
00:19:45.81\00:19:47.52
Having seen and
confirmed the application
00:19:51.45\00:19:53.76
of the seventy week prophecy
and its start date of 457 BC,
00:19:53.79\00:19:58.49
Miller now
calculated the remaining time
00:19:58.53\00:20:00.90
from the 2,300 a prophecy
00:20:00.93\00:20:02.86
to the cleansing
of the sanctuary,
00:20:02.90\00:20:04.67
when the judgment would begin.
00:20:04.70\00:20:07.84
And as we follow
that time prophecy down,
00:20:07.87\00:20:10.77
as we go from the gate
in which we find it began,
00:20:10.81\00:20:15.11
and we move forward with
the 2,300 day prophecies,
00:20:15.14\00:20:18.41
that's when we find that
it comes to the year of 1844.
00:20:18.45\00:20:21.95
William found that the
2,300 days of Daniel 8: 14
00:20:34.03\00:20:38.30
would terminate
in the year 1844,
00:20:38.33\00:20:41.34
in his lifetime.
00:20:41.37\00:20:42.74
I need not speak of the
joy that filled my heart
00:20:47.08\00:20:49.64
in view of the
delightful prospect,
00:20:49.68\00:20:52.18
nor of the ardent
longings of my soul
00:20:52.21\00:20:54.38
for participation in
the joys of the redeemed.
00:20:54.42\00:20:57.69
The Bible was
now to me a new book.
00:20:57.72\00:21:01.02
It was indeed a feast of reason,
00:21:01.06\00:21:03.06
all that was dark, mystical
00:21:03.09\00:21:05.16
or obscure to me
and its teachings,
00:21:05.19\00:21:07.76
had been dissipated from my mind
00:21:07.80\00:21:09.66
before the clear
light that now dawned for me
00:21:09.70\00:21:11.80
from its sacred pages.
00:21:11.83\00:21:13.47
Oh, how bright and
glorious the truth appeared.
00:21:14.74\00:21:19.87
A lot of work
goes into producing,
00:21:19.91\00:21:21.44
a scene like you just
watch showing William Miller
00:21:21.48\00:21:23.75
and this was going to
be a phenomenal production.
00:21:23.78\00:21:27.25
It's gonna be able to
tell a story about the flood,
00:21:27.28\00:21:30.62
about science and
about where we are
00:21:30.65\00:21:32.82
in the world's history
right now in these last days,
00:21:32.85\00:21:35.62
about Christ's soon return
00:21:35.66\00:21:37.03
and how we can be
prepared for that coming.
00:21:37.06\00:21:39.26
So this is going to be something
00:21:39.29\00:21:40.63
that can reach a wide field
00:21:40.66\00:21:42.60
of different
types of people groups.
00:21:42.63\00:21:44.47
That's what I hope is anyhow.
00:21:44.50\00:21:46.07
They were hoping actually
to cover a fairly wide audience
00:21:46.10\00:21:49.97
because the first film
really just gets people
00:21:50.01\00:21:53.04
into the story of what
Noah and the flood was all about
00:21:53.07\00:21:56.04
and then we look at some
of the scientific evidences.
00:21:56.08\00:21:58.31
That kind of establishes
00:21:58.35\00:21:59.68
the credibility
of the flood story
00:21:59.71\00:22:01.05
and then in the subsequent parts
00:22:01.08\00:22:03.49
in part two we look at
00:22:03.52\00:22:04.95
then what does
this mean for our time,
00:22:04.99\00:22:06.69
and then finally,
in the third section
00:22:06.72\00:22:08.06
we get into a
little bit more detail
00:22:08.09\00:22:10.23
and looking at the sanctuary
00:22:10.26\00:22:12.79
and what Christ is doing
in the heavenly sanctuary
00:22:12.83\00:22:14.66
for us today and
what implications that has
00:22:14.70\00:22:17.23
at the end of time.
00:22:17.27\00:22:18.60
And Chris, I know
you've been working
00:22:18.63\00:22:19.97
with a couple other animators
and some models and stuff.
00:22:20.00\00:22:23.10
What do you been
doing to try to work with
00:22:23.14\00:22:26.07
helping to
demonstrate the sanctuary model?
00:22:26.11\00:22:28.54
We wanted to have
shots of the century,
00:22:28.58\00:22:30.78
illustrating it that we can have
00:22:30.81\00:22:32.15
as people are talking about
these concepts involved with it
00:22:32.18\00:22:35.05
and so one guy built a
3D model of the sanctuary
00:22:35.08\00:22:38.79
that was just stellar.
00:22:38.82\00:22:40.39
So we've bought that from him
00:22:40.42\00:22:41.76
and now in the software
that I'm more familiar with,
00:22:41.79\00:22:43.69
we've been
retexturing everything
00:22:43.73\00:22:45.59
and trying to get all these
these camera animations set up
00:22:45.63\00:22:47.60
so we can illustrate
these concepts visually
00:22:47.63\00:22:49.60
because the picture is
worth a thousand words,
00:22:49.63\00:22:51.47
and if you can see
it not just hear it,
00:22:51.50\00:22:53.03
it's gonna help it stick.
00:22:53.07\00:22:54.40
So we want to be
able to help people
00:22:54.44\00:22:55.97
to have to be able to see
00:22:56.00\00:22:57.34
really good
visuals of the sanctuary.
00:22:57.37\00:22:58.84
But more than that to
take them into the sanctuary
00:22:58.87\00:23:01.74
and understand the message
00:23:01.78\00:23:03.11
of what that
sanctuary message is about,
00:23:03.14\00:23:04.48
to help them to understand
00:23:04.51\00:23:06.11
how that plays
a significant role
00:23:06.15\00:23:08.55
for the
inhabitants of this planet
00:23:08.58\00:23:10.29
in the last days.
00:23:10.32\00:23:11.65
Mike, if you
were-- in a nutshell,
00:23:21.13\00:23:22.46
gonna explain the sanctuary
00:23:22.50\00:23:24.70
and how it pertains
to the days of Noah,
00:23:24.73\00:23:27.40
what would you say
to the viewing audience?
00:23:27.44\00:23:29.87
Well, the
sanctuary is really great way
00:23:29.90\00:23:33.27
to explain the
Three Angels' messages
00:23:33.31\00:23:36.18
because it is a
visual illustration
00:23:36.21\00:23:38.38
of the everlasting gospel
00:23:38.41\00:23:39.91
which is the
First Angel's message.
00:23:39.95\00:23:41.62
It helps us to
understand what it means
00:23:41.65\00:23:43.75
when the hour of
God's judgment is come.
00:23:43.79\00:23:46.72
And that ties together perfectly
00:23:46.76\00:23:48.66
with the story of Noah because--
00:23:48.69\00:23:50.03
Right, because Noah had
lived in the judgment hour
00:23:50.06\00:23:52.53
and so what we're
really talking about
00:23:52.56\00:23:54.40
with the Three Angels' messages
00:23:54.43\00:23:55.76
is these messages
are the message of Noah.
00:23:55.80\00:23:59.00
These are-- this
is the same message.
00:23:59.03\00:24:00.77
Noah had a message
00:24:00.80\00:24:02.14
calling people out of the world,
00:24:02.17\00:24:03.51
out of false
worship and into the ark
00:24:03.54\00:24:06.24
and which ties in with
the Third Angel's message.
00:24:06.27\00:24:08.78
And so there's
a lot of parallels
00:24:08.81\00:24:10.15
between the
message that Noah had
00:24:10.18\00:24:12.11
with the message of the
three angels in Revelation.
00:24:12.15\00:24:14.78
So one of the things
that I think is really
00:24:14.82\00:24:16.82
unique about this project
00:24:16.85\00:24:18.19
is that we use the sanctuary
00:24:18.22\00:24:19.55
to illustrate visually
the Three Angels' messages.
00:24:19.59\00:24:22.72
Using that visual illustration
that God has given us,
00:24:22.76\00:24:25.33
is going to be so
great to help people
00:24:25.36\00:24:27.26
unfamiliar with this message,
00:24:27.30\00:24:28.90
be able to comprehend it
00:24:28.93\00:24:30.27
and understand it in its context
00:24:30.30\00:24:32.33
as well as all its
various components.
00:24:32.37\00:24:34.24
So we've mentioned that
there's going to be extra cost
00:24:34.27\00:24:36.60
because we've decided
to make this production
00:24:36.64\00:24:38.27
in the three parts.
00:24:38.31\00:24:39.64
And behind the scenes, we
have a lot of stuff going on
00:24:39.67\00:24:42.38
it costs money,
00:24:42.41\00:24:43.81
money that we didn't
really for see at the time
00:24:43.85\00:24:45.88
that when we
started this production.
00:24:45.91\00:24:47.55
It was going to be involved
00:24:47.58\00:24:49.08
with pulling the production off.
00:24:49.12\00:24:50.72
What kind of other
things do we need help with?
00:24:50.75\00:24:53.39
Well, one of the biggest
tasks that we're faced with
00:24:53.42\00:24:56.79
at the moment is going to be
the rendering the 3D sanctuary.
00:24:56.83\00:25:00.93
It takes an enormous
amount of processing power
00:25:00.96\00:25:02.83
to be able to do
these 3D animations.
00:25:02.86\00:25:04.53
So we need more computers
00:25:04.57\00:25:06.23
to really to be
able to get that done.
00:25:06.27\00:25:09.00
Yeah, we have a limited
amount of processing power
00:25:09.04\00:25:11.57
so we definitely
want to increase that
00:25:11.61\00:25:13.14
but some of the other expenses
that we're talking about
00:25:13.17\00:25:15.08
include music,
00:25:15.11\00:25:16.44
and we still have
some narrations to shoot.
00:25:16.48\00:25:18.61
We still have some
more production to do.
00:25:18.65\00:25:20.32
And we're really looking
at trying to find an artist
00:25:20.35\00:25:23.92
to help do
illustrations as well.
00:25:23.95\00:25:25.65
So Chris, if people wanted
00:25:25.69\00:25:27.19
to know more about
00:25:27.22\00:25:28.56
this documentary
what can they do?
00:25:28.59\00:25:29.92
Where can they go?
00:25:29.96\00:25:31.29
They can go to
our Facebook page.
00:25:31.33\00:25:32.66
We are on Facebook and
"The Days of Noah" film
00:25:32.69\00:25:35.40
and they'll pop right
up and you can follow us
00:25:35.43\00:25:37.83
get up to date information
on wins that coming out
00:25:37.87\00:25:40.00
and where we're at in
the production progress
00:25:40.04\00:25:41.60
and that probably be
the best way to do it.
00:25:41.64\00:25:44.27
We're really excited
about finishing this documentary
00:25:44.31\00:25:46.71
and if you'd like to
help that would be great.
00:25:46.74\00:25:48.41
We'll put up our
address and our phone number
00:25:48.44\00:25:50.35
and contact
information at the end.
00:25:50.38\00:25:52.58
But this particular production
is a message for today.
00:25:52.61\00:25:56.89
It's something
that needs to be out
00:25:56.92\00:25:59.05
in the hands of people today.
00:25:59.09\00:26:01.32
And we really believe
that this is going to be
00:26:01.36\00:26:02.96
a powerful presentation
to convict people's hearts
00:26:02.99\00:26:05.66
about where we are
in this world's history.
00:26:05.69\00:26:07.63
And that's really the
reason why we're producing this.
00:26:07.66\00:26:10.77
And that is why we are
living in the days of Noah.
00:26:10.80\00:26:15.24
I'm Jeff Reich,
director of Laymen Ministries.
00:26:39.86\00:26:42.03
What you are about to
witness will be unlike
00:26:42.06\00:26:43.53
anything that
you've ever seen before,
00:26:43.57\00:26:45.50
not only are we going to
investigate the flood story,
00:26:45.53\00:26:47.84
but we'll trace
the roots of evolution
00:26:47.87\00:26:49.50
and show how it's
influenced Western society.
00:26:49.54\00:26:51.97
And most importantly,
00:26:52.01\00:26:53.34
we'll take a look at
how the story of Noah
00:26:53.38\00:26:55.11
helps explain the
pages of Bible prophecy.
00:26:55.14\00:26:57.71
This is the story
of Noah and the flood
00:26:57.75\00:26:59.41
like you've never seen before.
00:26:59.45\00:27:01.45
Today many
Christians are anticipating
00:27:28.44\00:27:30.25
the future coming of
Christ and they are wondering
00:27:30.28\00:27:32.38
what's in store
for planet Earth.
00:27:32.41\00:27:34.45
They do well if they went back
00:27:34.48\00:27:35.82
and they read a
story of Noah in the flood
00:27:35.85\00:27:37.45
because within that
epic story of the Bible,
00:27:37.49\00:27:39.19
there is more the future
revealed to us than many known.
00:27:39.22\00:27:41.92
In fact, the
evidences are all around us.
00:27:41.96\00:27:44.53
