An Amazing Fact: Humanity is devouring our planet’s natural resources at a dangerous pace. Forty years ago, we consumed 22 billion tons of materials. Today, that number is 77 billion. By 2050, civilization will be devouring 140 billion tons of minerals, ores, fossil fuels, and biomass each year. Such voracious consumption cannot be sustained without threatening the survival of humanity.
The world that God gave to you and me is rapidly changing, spiraling downward into unsustainable chaos. There’s no doubt—Armageddon is fast approaching!
That’s why I want to tell you about Matthew, a person whose life changed drastically because you allowed God to work through you. Matthew loved listening to raucous music on his headphones at work, eight hours a day, five days a week, month after month, year after year.
Far too many souls are likewise plugged in and checked out, not realizing that a day of reckoning is coming soon: “The heavens and the earth … are reserved for fire until the day of judgment” (2 Peter 3:7).
Unless people are jolted awake by truth, unless you and I cooperate with the Holy Spirit to reach hearts with God’s warning message, they will not be ready for the final events. Many will be eternally lost. Yes—it matters that much.
God’s message reached Matthew in the nick of time—the day his girlfriend brought home a gift bag from a co-worker. His girlfriend tossed it aside, but Matthew was curious.
Of all the Amazing Facts materials inside the bag, what caught Matthew’s eye the most was a DVD with a stirring picture of the world consumed in fire. Intrigued, Matthew watched it … and everything changed.
What’s Going to Happen Next?
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to predict that the long-term outlook for our planet is grim—not only political polarization and the threat of more pandemics but plastic garbage floating in our oceans, farmable land being lost at 10 acres a minute. And when the global population reaches 9.6 billion by 2050, we’ll need the equivalent of almost three planets to provide the natural resources to sustain current lifestyles. Truly, “the whole creation groans and labors” (Romans 8:22).
Friend, the writing is on the wall—and Matthew took notice.
What he saw in The Final Events of Bible Prophecy DVD spoke directly to his heart—and, as he says it, “I was hooked.”
After watching Final Events, he downloaded the Amazing Facts app and discovered a treasure trove of sermons. Instead of turning on his music while he worked, he listened to a sermon—then another, and another, and another. Soon, he was listening to Amazing Facts eight hours a day, five days a week.
God has used the Final Events film to inspire many others to seek out more Bible truth. Over a million DVDs have been distributed, and many more souls have watched online!
Tens of thousands have shared that it was this video that encouraged them to start Bible studies and get on the road to God’s eternal kingdom. That’s what happened to Matthew when he saw Final Events.
And, friend, you made it possible for that DVD to find its way into that gift bag.
Urgent Need for an Update
However, as impactful as Final Events has been, it’s time to create a much-needed update of this resource.
When we first created the film more than 15 years ago, we used the best technology available to us at the time. But compared to industry standards today, the video, audio quality, and 3D animations are—well, dated dinosaurs.
Today’s visually oriented audiences are captured by truth when it’s presented with stunning graphics and inspiring vignettes. Our recent cutting-edge documentaries, like Kingdoms in Time, have even opened doors to some giant platforms, like History, Amazon, and PureFlix.
This powerful message urgently needs an extreme makeover. Our working title for this fresh take is Armageddon and the Final Events of Bible Prophecy. And just like the original, we’ll translate it into multiple languages so that God can use it to make a huge impact all around the world.
Thinking Big
William Carey, famed pioneer missionary to India, said, “With God, expect great things; attempt great things.”
We want to put our trust in God in this great task of creating a new Final Events. To produce a film of this caliber takes significant funding—we estimate $1,200,000. So we are stepping forward by faith—a faith that is based on God’s call to spread the gospel, and faith in you and our other fellow laborers who believe in the work of Amazing Facts.
Your gift today—no matter the size—will be used to carry God’s final warning to the world. A $30 gift will send videos like Final Events to 10 searching souls. A loving gift of $100 will translate a video into a new language. And a sacrificial gift of $1,000 will go a long way in creating this new life-changing resource.
Double Vision
And this month, the impact of your gift will be doubled because a generous partner has your same passion for saving souls! That means your gift of $30 will make a $60 eternal difference in truth-seekers’ lives. A gift of $100 makes a $200 difference. And a $1,000 gift is multiplied into a $2,000 impact.
After Matthew dove into our many Bible lessons, he decided one day to listen to that same worldly music he once loved—but the convicting power of the Holy Spirit spoke to his heart. “I changed inside,” he says. He didn’t want to go back to the world.
After Matthew watched Final Events, his heart, his life, his eternal future changed! With your help, we can prepare millions more for Jesus’ soon return.
It’s never a gamble to invest your hard-earned money in God’s work. You can count on eternal results.
Still preaching the final events,
