"Left Behind: Rise of the Antichrist" is little more than make-believeOur critic's review of the latest in the Revelation-based franchiseHi ReligionUnplugged readers, The “Left Behind” franchise is a staple of evangelical culture.

It’s inspired by the book of Revelation, albeit a very specific one that’s generally only believed by some evangelical Christians. There are three key parts of that interpretation:
Each of those has implications for the beliefs of this group, but in short, it’s a very literal interpretation. There’s nothing wrong with that, seeing as beliefs and interpretations about Revelation are many, but this interpretation is often spoken of as law. It’s overdone to the point of frustration in the most recent movie “Left Behind: Rise of the Antichrist.” Our culture reporter Jillian Cheney calls the movie “horrible” — see why in today’s top story. “Left Behind: Rise Of The Antichrist” Is The Latest Installment In The Apocalyptic Thriller Franchise. It’s Little More Than Make-Believe(REVIEW) “Left Behind: Rise of the Antichrist,” the new movie about the end of the world as told in the Bible, has it all: boring action sequences, jokes about the COVID-19 vaccine, altar calls, a postscript message from former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, a joke about former president Barack Obama being the Antichrist, a painfully clunky script and even a Romanian politician who has a bland American accent. by Jillian Cheney A View From Argentina: Maradona Cedes His Throne To Messi
