THE 7 CHURCHES OF REVELATION Hits Theaters This March
By Movieguide® Contributor
Thinking Man Films, the studio behind the PATTERNS OF EVIDENCE documentaries, will bring new movies to theaters: THE 7 CHURCHES OF REVELATION: TIMES OF FIRE on March 10 and TIMES OF DECEPTION on March 17.
“Thinking Man Films is back with the Bible Cinema Roadshow after launching with the acclaimed God of Heaven & Earth film in late 2023 and regularly releasing the beloved Patterns of Evidence films. By comparing biblical accounts with science, archaeology, and historical documents, their films strive to validate stories from scripture that are core to biblical faith,” the company shared in a press release Friday.
“The 7 CHURCHES OF REVELATION: TIMES OF FIRE examines the hostile environment facing the first three churches described in the book of Revelation,” the press release continued. “The questions are for the believer today: Are our hearts prepared for his return? Is today’s Church ready for these times of fire? TIMES OF DECEPTION investigates the final four churches and asks what important understandings are we to heed from the Biblical prophetic letters that point to the future?”
The first part of the documentary coupling, TIMES OF FIRE, originally came out in 2021. The second part, TIMES OF DECEPTION, will have its first release on March 17.
“This series on Revelation is needed now more than ever as we try to understand the world today as it applies to biblical events,” said Tim Mahoney, founder of Thinking Man Films and the Bible Cinema Roadshow. “Are we living in the last days? If so, how should we conduct ourselves?”
Movieguide®’s review of THE 7 CHURCHES OF REVELATION: TIMES OF FIRE reads:
THE 7 CHURCHES OF REVELATION: TIMES OF FIRE is the first part of a series examining the Book of Revelation, in relation to the letters to the seven churches in Chapters Two and Three. Led by several scholars, viewers are taken on a journey to first century Asia Minor, now modern day Turkey. The journey begins at the island of Patmos, off the coast of Turkey, where the Apostle John says he composed the Book of Revelation. The movie discusses the historical background to and messages in the first three letters in Chapter Two.
THE 7 CHURCHES OF REVELATION: TIMES OF FIRE presents a dramatic, engaging, Pro-Christian investigation of the letters to the first three churches in Chapter Two of the Book of Revelation. It has many interesting historical, theological facts drawing connections between the messages given by Jesus to the Apostle John in Revelation and the historical record in the First Century. TIMES OF FIRE ends by noting that the Roman persecution of Christians described in Revelation contains messages to all Christians down through the centuries who experience persecution.

Movieguide®’s review of PATTERNS OF EVIDENCE: EXODUS reads:
PATTERNS OF EVIDENCE is beautifully filmed, well photographed and imaginatively illustrated. However, the documentary is not entertainment, but, rather, an educational movie. That doesn’t make it any less important or convincing, but it does make it less entertaining than documentaries designed to be entertaining. PATTERNS OF EVIDENCE is an extremely important documentary that affirms the story of Moses and the Exodus.
