This is the third film in a four-part series. The previous movie, "A Distant Thunder", followed a young woman by the name of "Patty Myers" (Patty Dunning) up to the point where she had to make a choice between accepting "the mark" or being executed. This film essentially takes up where the last one left off with Patty making her decision and then shifting the focus to three other people: "David Michaels" (William Wellman Jr.), "Kathy" (Susan Plumb) and "Leslie" (Wenda Shereos). Not only do each of them have tough choices to make but the situations get much more difficult as "the tribulation" continues. Now, while a couple of the interpretations concerning this period may seem a bit out-dated, the main prophecies are still quite possible. For example, the emergence of a "world church" which replaces Christian gospel with ecumenical humanism is already taking root. Same thing with the advent of a "mark" in the form of a bar-code or microchip to replace paper currency and to provide easily retrieved personal data whenever necessary. The technology is already present and it could easily be used for all kinds of reasons. For example, it could practically eliminate counterfeiting and identity theft. So who could possibly be against something like that? Christians, of course! And if they refuse to get it then the case could be made that they are "trouble-makers" who need to be dealt with. And for anyone with complete control of all media outlets that shouldn't be too hard to accomplish. Be that as it may, I thought this film was pretty good. Yes, there were some scenes which could have benefited from better equipment or special effects. But the acting was surprisingly good and for a low-budget movie of this type I thought everything turned out rather well. All things considered. Overall then, I'd rate it as slightly above average.
I saw this movie when I was a child and it terrified me. I still vividly recall images of the Rapture, the Mark of the Beast and the horrible fate of those Left Behind. It's the perfect movie to show your kids if you're a religious fanatic and you want your kids to start wetting the bed and crying in their sleep. It actually sowed the first seeds of my disbelief and started my move away from Christianity. If you have to resort to terrifying people in order to convert them instead of using rational discourse it doesn't say a whole lot for your belief system. This movie relies on the worst sort of emotional manipulation to convey its message. I didn't see the others in the series but since this is the best of the bunch I probably wouldn't bother with the others. I watched this movie again recently and I didn't find it terrifying at all, just really overwrought and annoying. If you like those cheesy Left Behind Books, you'll probably like this version of the Revelation fantasy. Oh, and the acting is really awful.

Anybody else forced to watch this as a kid? It not only gave me nightmares, but it also fueled my doubt in religion. Ironically it also sewed the seeds of mistrust for governments, creating the conspiracy theorist that I am today. I WAS 6 YEARS OLD WHEN I SAW THIS!!! Keep in mind we didn't have a radio or television in our home until I was 14 so this was literally the first and only thing I saw on the t.v. It's a 4 part series and we watched them all at church. It's an old movie, so now it seems silly but damn did it affect me then.

Back in 2005 we watched in church youth group. It was pretty tense at first and all, but was really draggy throughout the rest of the movie. And that made people go in and out of the room during the movie. I think that there should have been a little more action, just like the first two. I guess it really got draggy because Patty was not in it. Image Of The Beast is the most boring Christian movie, I hate to say. They are pretty accurate with all the Biblical stuff, but it was missing the "it" factor. The only thing that was interesting and understandable was faking the mark. I would have done that too if I were them.

I find this movie interesting on the fact that we are living in a time where it feels like its heading towards that direction during this covid era. This movie came out in 1980 when technology was no where near the radar for the general public now we are consumed by it. You dont have to be a christian to see whats going on in the world right now anyways good movie 👍

The movies of this series are proof that Christianity is as silly or sick as any other religion, or even sillier and sicker. It is amazing that adult people believe these madnesses, to the point that they make (very bad) movies to convince other adult people to believe them. I am pretty sure that, today, such (beyond weird) doctrines are turning young people away from Christianity, thus achieving the exact opposite.

The first one, the second one, and the third one are good movies that show what will happen when Jesus comes to get us. Yeah the clothing is bad, and the hair is messed up, but this movie was made in the late 70's. It's a good movie either way, and Left Behind is nothing compared to these series. It's more people like than government talking throughout the whole movie like Left Behind. It's great, and sad at the same time. I recommend it to people who don't believe in God, and don't believe in the end of the world, until next thousands of years where there are going to be new people building up this earth and starting all over again.
Go out and rent the series!

Christian movies are nuts but this one is maybe the most nuts. Nonsensical dialogue and plot. Ridiculous premises abound with totally fabricated concepts. None of this makes sense like the last two of this God Awful trilogy. Realism would help.

The movie although "dated" is a GREAT tool for ministering to public. the story line is good and what it may lack in it's "datedness" it gains in its ability to explain the Bible in ways that others can understand. Yes, it is a no holds barred (including the beheadings) enactment of God's word but unlike what had been commented .. `scenes of people who refuse the mark of the beast being beheaded (to scare the audience into accepting Jesus, I guess)" ... the scenes in the movie are true to what the Bible states is coming and if seeing this movie scares someone to Jesus all I can say is Thank God the movie did it, for what would these people do when it happens to them in real life. I highly recommend this, and the entire `Thief in the night' series to anyone looking for material to do God's work.

I am open to sharing my experience with Bitcoin investment and losing money to scammers. However, yes it is possible to recover your stolen bitcoins. I never believed in Bitcoin recovery because I was made to understand that it was not possible. However, sometime in October, I fell for a forex scam that promised overly high returns and lost close to $55,000. I searched for a month for help until I finally came across an article on Reddit in regards to recovering stolen cryptocurrency so I reached out to them (brigadiatechremikeable(@)proton.me)OR Telegram +1(323) 9 1 0 1 6 0 5) i was so scared and skeptical because I have heard of bad experiences. Still, I decided to give him a try and to my greatest surprise I was able to get all my stolen bitcoins recovered from the scammers within a very short time frame. And they were able to introduce me to the best and legit BTC investment.
I am so happy to keep getting my daily BTC, all I do is keep 0.1 BTC in my mining wallet with the help of Brigadia Tech. They connected me to his mining stream and I earn 0.4 btc daily with this, my daily profit. I can get myself a new house and car. I can't believe I have thousands of dollars in my bank account. Now you can get in touch with them through contact details i have provided above.

I saw this movie many years ago when i was a teenager attend church. there have been many comments about this movie being to scary. But, if someone who watches this movie things this is scary, God help them if there are here on earth when the real Rapture happens. Because there is no movie that could ever Describe the horrors that await the ones still here. Yes the acting is bad but, your not watching a movie that was pro ducted in Hollywood with professional actors and directors and multi-million dollar budgets. There are people that have posted comments about this movie and comparing it the the left Behind books, i personally owe all of those books and have read them, i believe they are a great group of books. these books and movies with this content have lead many people to the true that Jeuse Chirst is our one and only savior.
OK so these movies where made in the 1980's and 1970's . They are kinda going to suck with the effects and the sometimes the plot to. The movie could have been better acted and maybe better produced Even with the first two movies to they could have been better acted, But you have to think that this was a low (looks like very low) budget film. it was made for believers and non believers to show them what the world is going to be like, IT may not be exactly like its describe but the points are the same, there is going to be a one world government, He will try to make world peace, and will tell everyone they have to get the mark on their right hand or forehead in order to buy sell or do anything.He will get you to try to believe in him and eventually worship him but this is all a lie and if you get that mark you are doomed But the message is the same no mater how you are going to look at it Jesus is coming again, And will you be ready of left behind?
If you've read the book of Revelation, this film is basically about it playing out in modern times, well the 80s when this was filmed.
You can find it on Tubi and it is worth a watch, people who believe in God and don't accept the mark of the beast are hunted down by the one world government.
Religion is disbanded and morphed into the One World Church.
Not for everyone but I think it was a good account of the times in my opinion we are approaching now, it even broaches on AI and says people will worship it like a golden calf, very revealing as AI has taken off this year and been thrust into the public spotlight.
