Waiting for Armageddon

Description

Waiting for Armageddon delves into the heart of America's 50-million member Evangelical community, using intimate portraits and archival footage to explore how literal belief in Biblical prophecy - including the Rapture and Armageddon, exerts a dangerous influence on U.S. relations in the Middle East. The film opens with portraits of three Evangelical families, James and Laura Bagg, a Connecticut couple who work as military jet- propulsion engineers, Tony and Devonna Edwards in McAlester, Oklahoma, and Dr. H. Wayne House in Salem, Oregon,all certain that upon Christ's Second Coming they will be "raptured" or lifted into the skies to join Christ while the rest of humanity suffers for seven years during "The Tribulation".
