Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The pre-trib rapture was largely unknown before John Nelson Darby in the 1830s; most Christians historically believed in post-tribulation or amillennial return.
Director Joe Schimmel was a former Satanist-turned-evangelist, which adds a particular convert's intensity to his debunking mission — he's done being fooled.
