The film adapts the 1970 bestseller by Hal Lindsey and Carole C. Carlson, published by Zondervan, presenting a literalist, premillennial, dispensational view of eschatology. It juxtaposes biblical end‑time prophecies with contemporary 1970s events, forecasting the rapture, ensuing tribulation, Christ’s Second Coming and the establishment of a thousand‑year kingdom on Earth.
