Christian Scriptures Worksheet for Apocalypse! The Frontline Movie:

Tuesday, 15 May, in the Computer Lab 009 O’Donnell

Principles of Apocalypticism:

1.  Apocalypticism is about God reclaiming the earth for Himself.

2.  The battle is inspired by God/”higher force”/”something beyond the present” and is so important that the future of the world is at stake.

3.  Representatives of Good/God will guide us against the forces of evil- the difficulty is in discerning who the good guys are.

4.  Evil must be defeated and will be defeated-one will be forced to take sides.

5.  The forces of God (US) are pitted against the THEM-- an ENEMY of such magnitude that “goodness” itself is on the line.

6.  Courage and heroic behavior are going to be the standard by which we fight the enemy—to disagree about the battle is to be uncourageous and to be Evil.

7.  Sometimes destruction and death of good people and good things will have to be accepted in order for the victory over “evil” to take place.

8.  Heroes will be expected to give their lives so that others might live out theirs.
