A Thief in the Night (film)


A Thief in the Night is a 1972 Christian end times film produced by Russell S. Doughten. It is the first and best known film in Doughtens fourpart series on the Rapture and Second Coming of Christ. The films together are often referred to collectively as the Thief or Rapture series.

According to Christianity Today, the film brings to life the dispensational view of Matthew 243644, part of the Olivet discourse in which Jesus describes people being taken suddenly out of the world while others watch and remain behind. The films premillennial dispensationalist interpretation of the Bibles end times prophecies is popular among U.S. evangelicals, but is a minority view among Christians globally. noteIn the film, everyone must receive the mark of the beast, consisting of three rows of the digits 0110 written on their forehead or hand, or they will not be allowed to use money in any way, even to buy food or water. This number in binary is six, hence having it repeated three times suggests the biblical number attributed to the end times. The use of the number 666 as a mandatory marking of service to the Antichrist is a common interpretation of Revelation 131618. ........
