Tens of millions visit apparition sites hoping to encounter the Blessed Virgin Mary. Many believe that these increasing manifestations signal the advent of a new era on Earth. Thousands of messages from the apparition of Mary indicate that we are entering a critical moment in world history—cataclysmic changes may soon occur.

Those who follow the apparitions believe Mary has come to turn us back to God. Others others insist that these events are either fabrications or the working of Satan. Does the Bible anticipate apparitions, signs and wonders in the last days? Does the Word of God reveal the origin of these phenomena? How might the apparition of Mary and other paranormal events transform the world in the third millennium?

The content of this eye-opening video is unique and valuable. There is much reason to believe that the so-called messages from Mary are bogus and not of God or Mary. They are a dangerous deception. This is a trademark technique of the Great Deceiver. If you are a Catholic, we understand that this may go against a great deal of what you have been taught and heard in Catholicism. Take a look, with an open mind and prayerfully ask the Lord Jesus to help you discern the truth in this matter. If you are truly sincere in your desire to know the truth, where ever it may lead, we trust that the He will be faithful in revealing the truth to your heart and mind.

Positive—Very eye opening! I was impressed with the amount of research this film had put into it. As a protestant, I have never followed these sightings of the Virgin Mary and had no idea what some of these manifestations taught. There is some very anti-biblical messages present and it is certainly fascinating to see how these seemingly “Christian” happenings could work into biblical end-times prophecy! My only negative reaction to this film is that it wasn’t edited tighter… a half hour could probably have been taken out without watering down the message.

Positive—I thought that the three-stage approach in the movie was very good, building as it did on popular conceptions before moving on to demonstrate from clear Bible texts that the Word of God should be the basis for making a value judgment, not our own opinions, guesses etc.

The documentation in sourcing the references, both the Biblical ones and those of the various clips which were shown, was meticulous.

I also appreciated the movie’s professionalism in its making and its non-denominational documentary-style direction. The moviemaker made every effort to let the facts speak for themselves.

Positive—Very informative video documentary. It exposes an end time (last days) deception. What’s best in the documentary—Scripture references to back up everything the presenters/scholars are saying. A real eye opener. Somehow, I also enjoyed the accompanying music. Any idea as to how I can get hold of the original soundtracks used in the documentary. I’ve searched for the music credits, but to no avail. Overall, a beautifully done video.
