Review: The Daniel Project
The Daniel Project takes on a modern day discussion Bible prophecies that are set to happen and lends the viewer a distinct perspective to seriously consider what that means to them. A variety of secular and religious experts are interviewed as their findings and opinions support the prophecies discussed. The viewer is asked to listen closely to what the Bible says – “A great leader is to bring peace within a new world order; World government, a forced financial system and state control is on the horizon; Near the end, a great temple is constructed in Jerusalem; A peace treaty will be signed, yet a military coalition moves to attack Israel; An earthquake will split the Mount of Olives and water will flow from under Jerusalem; The East gate in the city wall will be sealed until the end; The kings from the East cross the Euphrates River for a war set in Armageddon.” The Daniel Project documentary film sends the world a wake-up call by examining Biblical prophecy in a very clear and compelling way. The viewer will be left with an understanding of recent key historical events that have happened just as the Bible said they would. The evidence that these prophecies have come to pass is the films purpose and main thrust leaving skeptics with nothing reasonable but to believe that the prophetic Word of God spoken throughout the Bible is verifiable and wholly true.
Jacob Prasch, the films Bible expositor says, “Every Prophecy is a powerful sign, A warning marker for the skeptic ….” The Daniel Project is refreshingly void of all the typical hype of infatuation with ‘other worlds’, ‘alien invasions and visitations’, exaggerating facts while mixing in voices of predictors like Nostradamus and using religious non-scriptural writings; instead their primary claim of support is the Bible, keeping with the same belief that Peter wrote to the early church 2000 years ago: “We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:” 2 Pet 1:19
The Bible is not only given credence, but authority as a primary means of knowing God’s will and His ultimate plan for the salvation of mankind. The seventeen prophecies concerning Israel not only inform us what will happen but also what we need to do if we want to succeed in getting out of this world alive.
To dispel a common theory among many minds that the Bible is an invention of man and to aid in establishing the legitimacy of the Bible as a verifiable and ancient document the viewer is given a brief rundown of The Dead Sea Scrolls, the scrolls found in 1947 in a desert cave in Qumran, Jordan. The discovery of these ancient scrolls confirm the veracity of the time of the Biblical prophetic and that they are accurately dated as the Bible says they are; lending to the fact that the apostle Peter wrote in his letter to the churches: “Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” 2 Pet 1:20-21
The documentary style program draws its name: The Daniel Project, quite naturally from The Book of Daniel itself. Systematically looking at twenty prophetic scriptures pertaining directly to Israel which relate in these last days to the imminent return of Christ the Messiah, it does a clear and masterful job of stating their fulfillment one by one. Though each one of them can be said to pertain to the Church and the World at large, it was declared in the final words of the Book of Daniel chapter 12 that each one would come to light only at the end and that “the wise would understand them” in their time, “but that the wicked would not.“Each prophecy is cited and discussed with clear evidence showing that they have been fulfilled or in the throes of being magnificently fulfilled in this very hour. Some relate to the antichrist spirit which is in the process of preparing the world to accept the so-called Mark of ‘the Beast’ or prophecies concerning the return of the Jews to the Promised Land of Israel, or the prophecies declaring that the Jews and their capital city Jerusalem will become the center of world tension in the last ‘hours’ before Christ the Messiah’s return. One notes that in the last days the lost language of Hebrew will be restored to Israel; that Jerusalem would become the capital of a Jewish state once again after two thousand years and that as one of the ancient prophets had declared: in the last days pools of water will appear in the desert and that fruits, forests, vineyards and olive groves will arise from the dust of the long forsaken dry lands of the Promised Land of the Jews who had wandered for nearly two millennia among the nations of the world without a nation or a capital to call its own. Man-made and natural disasters will increase; greater lawlessness with moral and social breakdown will be on a steep rise as Christian apostasy and mass spiritual delusion grow until a great leader will be desired and a man, a false Messiah arises pretending to be the deliverer of the earth and its people. The fulfillment of all these prophecies prove to be ‘the more sure word’ that Peter the disciple of Christ had so appropriately pointed out to the Church. So much has accurately come to pass since the miraculous return of the Jews to the land of Israel in 1948. The host of The Daniel Project, Jeremy Hitchen (self proclaimed skeptic and non-religious) realizes this accuracy of the Bible as he accepted the challenge to investigate ancient predictions and take a journey that may turn his world…. upside down! He weighs in with his thoughts throughout and in the end, concludes that Bible prophecy is really more than he ever expected and now he is faced with the reality of what to do about it. The film, aptly named after the prophet who was given great visions of the end times, holds true to the following prophecy and challenge that today’s generation is faced with – …Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall under-stand; but the wise shall understand.
The Daniel Project could very well be a catalyst of the day using the more sure word of prophecy to help make a person wise through proper understanding.
