Ray Comfort's 30-minute Noah—And the Last Days, produced to coincide with Hollywood's controversial Noah, reached 1 million YouTube views in 23 days, this week won a Telly Award and is being aired on 14 major TV networks.
Comfort says, "When I saw that Hollywood had originally listed their version as fantasy, I felt compelled to produce something that would show that the story of Noah is an historical fact, despite what the mockers believe. So we placed it for free viewing on [YouTube] and the reaction has been extremely positive."
Comfort adds that he is encouraged that it has reached 1 million views, by the Telly award and for positive reviews posted on his Facebook page.
"Brilliant stuff. This movie can change the world," Stony Kalango wrote.
"Such an awesome film! A recommended watch!! Thank you Ray for always making the BEST films," said Mike Moore.
"Just now watched it; absolutely fantastic. Loved every minute of it! If I wasn't already in the Family of God this would have got me there!" wrote Melanie S. Charisma News

The bodies of men and animals will rot where they stand. Just like Ebola or Atomic Radiation.
Zec 14:12 This will be the plague the LORD will use to strike all the people from the nations that have gone to war against Jerusalem. Their flesh will rot while they are standing on their feet. Their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.
Zec 14:15 A similar plague will also affect horses, mules, camels, donkeys, and all other animals in those camps.
The blood of the animals and men will form a river 200 miles long and bridle deep.
Rev 14:19 The angel swung his sickle on the earth and gathered the grapes from the vine of the earth. He threw them into the winepress of God's anger.

2. To Regather and Restore Faithful Israel.

3. To Judge and punish faithless Israels
The Apostle Paul writes in the Book of Romans:
Rom 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved; as it is written, "There shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, and He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob.
Rom 9:6 Not however that the Word of God has failed, for not all those of Israel are Israel;
Today amazingly 80% of the Jews in Israel are secular. Many have no faith at all and blame God for all that has happened. This is faithless Israel
God will be especially gracious to the true Israel and especially harsh will the false Israel.

Mat 25:25 So being afraid I went and buried your talent in the ground: there you have what belongs to you.'
Mat 25:26 "'You wicked and slothful servant,' replied his master, 'did you know that I reap where I have not sown, and garner what I have not winnowed?
Mat 25:27 Your duty then was to deposit my money in some bank, and so when I came I should have got back my property with interest.
Mat 25:28 So take away the talent from him, and give it to the man who has the ten.'

Luk 19:23 why then did you not put my money into a bank, that when I came I might have received it back with interest?
Luk 19:24 "And he said to those who stood by, "'Take the pound from him and give it to him who has the ten pounds.'
