New Special Examines Apocalyptic Predictions of Cultures Throughout History

Janson Media today announced the release to worldwide television and video markets of APOCALYPSE AND THE END TIMES, a new one-hour documentary special for television. For thousands of years, prophets from every corner of the earth have predicted a fiery end to life as we know it. Yet in the last century, advances in science and technology have promised a different future — one of prosperity, luxury, and ease. Which predictions should we believe? Or is it possible that in the 21st century, science and faith might come together to give us the answers? This documentary special tackles these questions in an intriguing investigation that brings a modern spin to the ancient prophecies — with surprising results. APOCALYPSE AND THE END TIMES examines one of the most alarming trends of recent years — the worldwide increase in natural disasters. From global warming and record-breaking hurricanes, to the tsunami in Southeast Asia, earthquakes around the globe, and the constant threat of famine and disease. Are we seeing the fulfillment of ancient prophecies in these events? Over the centuries, cultures in every part of the world have focused on symbols and events that would signal when the end times would be upon us. Biblical prophecy also has much to say about the last days of civilization. This special also looks at the centerpiece of these predictions — Israel. Is it possible the Old Testament prophet Ezekiel foretold the formation of the modern nation of Israel hundreds of years before it took place? Will Israel be at the heart of a future conflict that will engulf the entire world — the Battle of Armageddon? Is the stage set for this conflict to take place in the near future? And most importantly, is there an ultimate message of hope and renewal amongst the dire predictions? Could it be that hope is the most important message of all? &'Our research team is attempting to present a balanced view, and answer the question: Is there anything that can be authenticated with all these End Times warnings or are they just myths?&' said Chuck Sellier, supervising producer of APOCALYPSE.&' In addition to authors Dr. Patrick Heron and Michael D. Evans, scientists and scholars interviewed include University of Colorado history professor Dr. Phil Mitchell, biblical prophecy researcher Gary Stearman, Dr. Sung Wook Chung of Denver Seminary, environmental researcher Stan Deyo, atmospheric scientist Dr. William Gray of Colorado State University, author Dr. Duncan Steele, Dr. Mark Lehner, professor of Egyptian archaeology, and others. APOCALYPSE AND THE END TIMES was produced by Grizzly Adams Productions and will have its world premiere on the i Network (formerly PAX-TV) on June 3rd in primetime. The DVD of the program will include an hour of bonus features. Worldwide television, VOD, DVD and IPTV rights are now available from Janson Media.
