I bought The Great Controversy 10 years ago and was never interested to read it. I'd found it boring or something but on 17th May , 2023 The Spirit of The Lord led me to it. I remember wanting to read through all the pages all at once as it all of a sudden occured to me that it had an eternal message! I began to read from Chapter 31 - The Agency of Evil spirits then rolled to Chapter 32 Satan's Snares. I'm now reading the whole book and I have realized so many things by God's grace 🙏 Thank you so much for this film. It's so timely.
@ex1st we do not trust on mere mortals. I know what you mean. Those books are like sermons that are penned down for generations to come. By this I mean the Spirit of Prophecy books I read The Desire of Ages , the chapter about Gethsemane and that read still bring tears to my eyes. God's Spirit is at work. Y'all receive Christian Greetings from Eldoret, Kenya.
@@hellensingoey2269 Ellen g white plagiarized a lot of writings and she was very wrong about certain doctrines. Sabbath keeping will never earn anyone a place in heaven, only the work of Christ for our sins, the apostle Paul told us to not make matters about a sabbath day of any importance.
The General Conference did put money into "The Record Keeper" several years ago. And, like this animation, it went directly contrary to The Great Controversy book in several places, so they wisely axed it. Seems like Satan has his hands on trying to change the Great Controversy message too. Beware!
@Steven S Steven, didn't you notice that this video is teaching a different god - not the God of the Bible? The God of the Bible told his angels all about the plan of salvation right after the fall of man.
I would highly ask you to reconsider your intentions of showing this in class. I am not sure if you have read the actual books by EGW upon which this is supposedly based on. Just watching the beginning of this, the whole reason for the rebellion here is actually contrary to the truth. It completely negates the real reason for the rebellion and therefore denying the truth of God.
Honestly never read it in its entirety. I did question the guy Samuel near death experience and how the Angel carry him around explained certain thing, etc...but I actually plan on viewing a 2nd time and reading the original copy.
@@donnacollins4011 this is true. HOWEVER, the Bible and EGW are in harmony. Just as prophets in the past that helped Israel see and understand scripture, i believe that EGW was used to do the same and to also help guide the church. But again, i understand what you are saying and can agree. But don't dismiss her just because you don't like her for some odd reason. It would be the same as dismissing Paul in the New Testament. Can you know what the scriptures taught without Paul's letters? Absolutely, but good decided to use Paul to bring to light that which you might not see or understand. You can see this very principle when Paul writes to the Jews who even though they have the scriptures they did not understand them.
This was great but A LOT of details are missing, granted I know you have limited time etc but I highly recommend all to read the book "The Great Controversy" - it will change your life! God bless all you brothers and sisters in Christ! 🙏🏼
@@tamathacoatney9799 Yes, God's day has remained the same, only difference between the beginning of this earth and now is mankind has rejected their creators seventh day sabbath, for a day that the lord never told them to remember all because he resurrected on that day(Sunday), the Christians after the apostles died had disdain for the Jews that had killed the creator in the flesh. They resented the Jews so much they decided they wanted nothing to be related to them to the point that they would have another day of worship instead of the Lords Seventh day Sabbath (Saturday). For the day that Jesus Christ resurrected(Sunday,first day of the week) which Jesus never told them to, effectively leading almost all other generations to keep this new "Tradition of man inspired by the devil" serving satan unknowingly throughout the later centuries, but God's truth could never be silenced by Satan. There were people throughout ages who keep all of his commandments even rebuking the false teachings of the Roman Catholic church in the middle ages. They think they have destroyed the protest, but God was the first protester and his truth will remain always. God's Law is eternal. Man's Law is finite(law of Moses) Those who make it into heaven will keep his sabbath and worship him on his holy day in heaven every sabbath, as he blessed and hallowed his day. Isaiah 66:22-23 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain. And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD. Exodus 20:8-11 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
My children concluded after watching it: the people with blue eyes are good, and the people with other eye colors are bad. I had to explain the objective of the movie to them unfortunately. Being a black skin person, I would use other markers, maybe a halo. The eye color doesn't convey a good message. Next time please think about it.
@@nomadicrecovery1586 yea . Jesus came as human not as im white human or im black or asian human. He came as human and that’s all. Yea maybe they should ve added more darker skin tones to some angels and humans but at the end of the day the point is all that matters. If you’re going to come at me as being racist bare you in mind that i am descendent of dacians current romanian. And if you know anything about romanians you know that we were oppressed too by other “colours” from the day we moved to Europe. Evil is colour-blind
Theres nothing wrong with it Youre child is partly right. Those color represent good and evil . You need to explain to them IT only represent those colors in this movie but not in real life.
So grateful for this. I’m not much of a reader, but today a Muslim friend of mine that lives in London (I’m from New Zealand) discovered the book version at her place of work (which is a very progressive, leftist environment - God bless them) and she said she was gonna read it. I believe this is God working on her heart, because where she works it makes no sense that this book was just sitting there for no reason. Anyways, since I don’t read much, I’m grateful that this is available, and the timing of it too as this was just posted 5 days ago. Amen.
This animation is a nice, well done overview of the great controversy between good and evil. However, the book, The Great Controversy is inspired and goes much deeper. Pray before reading it. Also, it's one book of a set of five. May i recommend, The Desire of Ages from that set ? God bless !!
@@donnacollins4011 It's the Bible that tells me to read the Great Controversy (Revelation 22:18-19). The Great Controversy is the spirit of prophecy which is the testimony of Jesus (Revelation 12:17, 19:10). It is also the best commentary on Matthew 24 for me. I read the Bible and the spirit of prophecy. Maybe you want to start writing too? so people can know if your writings are the spirit of prophecy?
I know some people would be offended by the artist depictions of Jesus ( white/blue eyes), and although i would have like to have seen some things different myself ( mostly more facts); I think the main focus ( The great controversy) was beautifully and intelligently designed. I'm really glad there's no pictures of Jesus, so all we have to focus on is Spirit.
I agree but to speak on the first part of your comment. Imagine being black or of African descent and not seeing people that looks like you at all throughout this flick. We certainly need God because we know not what drives certain things we do and the effects of it.
Did you get that the color of the eyes reflect sin right? The colored went to blue to red and vice versa. We are used to see blue as good and red as bad in any media, I thought that this were obvious enough....
This is an interesting interpretation of The Great Controversy and some parts seem folkloric. We really have to be careful not to add to or subtract in any way from the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy because a little leven can cause a lot of unintended harm.
@Steven S Well, you "may have read the books" - I believe you have not - but it is easier for you to retort you cannot read my mind than to admit you did not read the book, have no clue what it actually states yet presumed to refute my first observation with your first reply "A book always has more than the "movie" ...". You effectively countered what I first stated, therefore, the burden is not on me to tell you what is in my mind but on you to read the book and be in a position to know whether or not my first comment is valid and comment meaningfully.
I wholeheartedly support this! This is brilliant, outstanding, innovative, amazing, and released at the perfect time. I hope all who saw this are motivated to read the Book. You will not be disappointed.
@@MusicTimewithDixie I hope you liked the Book. The video is for the young in faith. But I am glad you have read the Book. "to the Law and to the Testimony.."
Be careful dear ones: Matthew 7:21. I earnestly recomen you to read the book with your sons and daughters. Let the whole truth come to live in your mind and imagination. You can trust God, not the human.
This animation was beautifully done and very touching. Thank you for all of the hard work you put into this. I pray that many people will see this and understand how much God loves us.
The highlights of the Great Controversy were noted. I’m not up to date on comic books but it seems this type of outreach is needed. Prayers that this story will reach seekers. I will keep this tool in mind and gladly share should the opportunity present itself.
Having watched it. I would have preferred it if the modern storyline was omitted and more detail was included. For example, depicting Jesus's current role in heaven as High Priest. He is not just walking off into the Milky Way, leaving the commenting angel to gawk into the stratosphere!
Thanks for this video. I didn't watch it online but I downloaded it and watched it before I slept. I had to shed tears all along because of how God was dealing with sin, Lucifer and how he's saving mankind from the mess he involved himself in. I found the video so emotional. Thank God for his love ,justice ,mercy and long-suffering . Praised be to his name for eternity.
This video can appeal to many of the generations who love the graphic novel, cartoons and animated films, so it is valuable. As a mature adult, I prefer to read the book. It’s so historically and Biblically accurate and so powerful.
@@susankane8728 yes. Me too I never got tired of the book, I can read thrice in a year that's the book I usually like to read mostly, in the Spirit of Prophecy. Sometimes I can just read some topics randomly
@@teodormacovei4648 The one who sent his son to die, the one who came to die. The one who suffered and took my sins so that I could be happy for all eternity.
I really enjoyed this film and can see the earnest desire that this team has to make the truth known. I was sharing it with other and it was mentioned that the intro about the guy in heaven made it seem as if when people die they go straight to heaven and I believe that is a worthy point. We don't want to confuse those who don't know. Keep making great content! Just wanted to point this out to save anyone from confusion
Praise God! As a colporter, who shares this book with those in our community, we witness the Great Controversy happening in real time with people as they hold the books. The forces of darkness fighting against the heavenly hosts for the souls of the people. I ask that you keep in prayer all the young men and women who have chosen to go out and knock on the doors, and likewise those who meet them as we are in the front lines of this spiritual warfare. God wins in the end!
Torres, God bless you as you spread the inspired words in The Great Controversy book. Have you ever tried to spread the original, 1858 edition of The Great Controversy?
Several years ago at Southern University there was an animation project that was started on "The War in Heaven" but they lacked funding to complete it. I was so sad about that and when someone told me about this film I was so happy to know that someone did it! But I'm confused about one part in this story. They show the War in Heaven happening after the Cross. The war between Michael and His angels and the devil and his angels happened even before the earth was created. Satan was thrown out of heaven before the creation of the earth as he was already the arch rebel that seduced Eve. Revelation is not written in chronological order as Revelation 12 is just sharing different visions that John received. Revelation is written in a chiastic form. See The Story of Redemption, pg. 17
The war in heaven started at Satan’s initial rebellion and although he was kicked out of heaven as his home he still had audience before God. So the war in heaven continued as he also continued to accuse God of being unjust before the unfallen angels, other worlds, fallen angels, man until after the cross when Satan no longer could have audience before God in heaven as the ruler of the world anymore because Jesus had claimed it again. Remember the story of Job when the sons of God (followers of most High) and many believe they were the representatives of the unfallen worlds would come before God, Satan would too as the representative of this world. But once Jesus was crucified and rose in victory overcoming sin and Satan , Satan could no longer have this audience. The Scriptures below are in relation to after the cross. "Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me." John 12:31-32 KJV
The rebellion start before creating earth.. war is when Jesus Christ complete His Sacrifice on the Cross.. This is Biblical. That's why in Job satan can go to heaven to the attend the council in heaven. Why his able to if he and his angels were already fallen down from earth?. It is because he became the ruler of the earth when Adam choose satan as his master. The war in heaven happen as in the book of controversy that is also said in the Bible ,that happen after he lost to the Son of God on the Cross.
@@rachel3angels Yes this is correct but only Satan had access. He went to the counsel meeting representing himself as the ruler of Earth. At the cross he was no longer allowed access to Heaven where the sons of God came and met before God. But clearly the war with he and his angels happened before earth was even created. The war is continuing but since the cross only on earth as satan and his rebel angels fight the unfallen angels who fight them when we pray for protection.
Exactly right. The war has transferred to earth and after the Cross then Satan had no more access to the counsel meetings in Heaven. That is why he is so angry. He knows after the judgment is over in Heaven, Jesus will come back and claim the earth as His! Daniel 7:26,27
Thank God for giving His church so much talent🙏🏾. Could y'all also animate Christ moving from the holy place to the most holy place on October 22nd 1844. Start with William Miller, Ellen White etc.. Amen❤️
This was amazing. I just wish there was more information like the Sabbath and the counterfeit Christ but other than that I loved it and my children love it. Closer to the truth than any other movie. Thank you and praise God🙏🏾❤️✌🏾🥑🕊
Experiences such as this bring us closer to God and I thank God for allowing pain as it brings us to realisation of the Father in our lives ❤. God bless you all
Thank you for making this. I appreciate your work but i don't see the great controversy being explained. Maybe the first angels message? I'm confused by the ending with the cell phone and the visions and dreams might give some the impression that the dead are in heaven and not resting in the grave. I know the theology but to those who don't, this is vague enough to allow the enemy to possibly lead astray. The decision that is alluded to isn't really made clear what the decision must be based on. It makes it look like Jesus is a spectator in heaven and not actively interceding on our behalf. God bless
The whole event is the great controversy, the battle between good and evil, God Jesus and Satan. The ending, she was given choices : - circle bread with thorns crown (?) = Jesus - phone messages from her lover = Satan
What was that white disc in the girl's hand near the end of the video? It looked somewhat like a wafer/eucharist. There were also some other things that didn't gel with me, like when Jesus cried out on the cross It Is Finished, the Bible says He cried out with a loud voice. But in the video, it was hardly a whimper. The video was very hard to follow chronologically. Quite confusing actually.
As an artist myself I genuinely got excited about the art. But unfortunately I cannot share this video with others, as the narration leave too many gray areas and fallacies. Stunning art, but so disappointing that it cannot be used as a worthy tool for discipleship.
This is the best animation of the Great Controversy I have ever seen. And I read the great controversy before but the animation touch me. I have to share it with everyone I knew. Continue to share this message with others so others can be saved and be warned of what is coming ahead. We all have to have that faith and to let others know about Christ before it is too late. God bless the ministry who created this animation. I watched it in German before but it is better in English.
Praise God, thank you jesus for the Holy Spirit leading in every aspect of this film. Thankful for the technology, All persons responsible, the entire technical team. Hallelujah. Children who learn through imagery can finally understand The Great Controversy. Thank you 3AM Morning is Coming 🙌
When we realize the true character of God how can’t we live him and want to obey him? God is so just, so loving. My mind can’t comprehend such love! Oh Lord please be with those who made this movie, each one of them and never let them go. May you lead them so that they will always choose you 🙏 🙏 🙏
Althea Gibson PLEASE DONT READ THESE BOOKS WHICH DONOT TEACH WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS!!!! STICK TO THE BIBLE AVOID ANY SELF MADE SO CALLED PROPHETS PLEASE!!!🙏🙏🙏💖💖💖✝️✝️✝️🙏🙏🙏
The animated version serves the purpose of showing many who are not inclined to read the entire book - yet. I’m praying that it Will inspire many to read The Great Controversy- am amazingly accurate book for these end times before Jesus returns for His people
This is truly a work of art! I do wish the voiceover was more clear and scriptural though. Many parts of the narration left gray areas for error. Keep the art, but do a second edition with more explanatory voiceover, bolder scriptures, and more hope overall?
Hello, this is such a moving video. Does anyone know if the SDA made it? I have a book called the great controversy. Someone gave me an amazing book. I learned a lot
@stevenspeece2397 Thank you so much for responding. They did a wonderful job. I love those people. They have helped me in my life so much one was the neighbor to me. I’ll never forget her.
I am just getting to see this remake of our challenge as humans on this world of chaos. The battle between good and evil. What Jesus did to give us life.Sharing with others. Pray all share as well.We have God on our side.
Great animation in the use of the brother and sisters' lives. We all have our role in this battle. Let us stay close to Jesus and allow Him to use us for His glory!
Praise the Lord. Cant imagine all the hard work behind this animation. Now let someone else out there be inspired and maybe make an even better version to capture the detail of the Great Controversy between God and Satan.
@@susankane8728 Susan, this video denied that God explained the Plan of Salvation to Adam and Eve, and denied that God explained that same Plan to the angels, when The Great Controversy very clearly explains that He did, and even the Bible makes it clear. There were many other discrepancies. To imply that it is OK to lie to young minds is a serious error.
Statutes, I repeat, nothing was denied. I’m sure that God conveyed to Adam and Eve that He loved them, and obedience to Him was necessary for their well being; as for the angels, they had the clear example of Lucifer’s fall, through pride and disobedience. This film could not go into every detail that the book could, but told all that was needed for young minds to understand: There is good and evil, and good is obedient, in love, to the Creator God.
Beautiful and wonderfully put and made. Thanks. May Jesus conquer in every outlet to win all in every part of what life people may be. Maranatha! Lord Jesus, COME!
Beautifully done! However, a little more diversity in the appearance of the participants would create a feeling of inclusion for everyone in the story of redemption. Some people groups have said that Christianity is a religion of Europeans. My students of Asian and African background have asked me if everyone was white in Bible times, simply because of artwork. As an artist and teacher, I make an effort to have my presentation slides show diversity in stories of creation and the flood, etc. Whenever possible, it is wise to convey the truth that this is the history of all humanity.
That was my comment. I have no children, but my young adult great nieces and nephews and their parent had issue with the la k of diversity thus the youngest generation didn't even give it a chance.
As a Seventh-day Adventist Christian, here are my objections to that video: #1: The sequence of the war in heaven was placed after the Resurrection. And it's quite clear it predated Creation. To believe otherwise is unbiblical and contradicts the SOP. #2: It was objectionable to see how the angels deemed it necessary to remind God that action was necessary. When it's not necessary. Because He's God. This seems to have been the same mistake made when that movie "The Record Keeper" came out. God doesn't need human beings to be His advisors. It's elementary, my dear Watson. God is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient. #3: The video made it look as if the angels had no clue of the plan of salvation. If Adam and Eve knew about it, expecting every successive generation (including Seth) to be the Savior, the angels certainly knew about it. Maybe they couldn't comprehend the idea of their King dying for humanity, but they certainly knew. And everything the angels did from the Fall through the Resurrection was to advance that cause. #4: There was no mention of the Trinity and how they had existed for eternity past, nor was there a mention of Jesus' feeling of separation from his Father. (I sincerely hope this video wasn't made by a nontrinitarian cult). #5: The scenes of the Protestant Reformation were too brief and failed to mention the early Reformation (such as the Hussites). Martin Luther certainly was the catalyst that made the Reformation cool, but he wasn't the first reformer. #5: Jesus is portrayed as distant, disconnected, and clueless. I have no idea what the makers of this video were thinking, but I strongly suggest they go back to the drawing board and spend some time in fervent prayer.
Believe or not God showed one of the many pillars of the Adventist faith about the Personality of God and of Christ. God is indeed a Personal God you can know who He is by getting to know Jesus.
“He who denies the personality of God and of his Son Jesus Christ, is denying God and Christ. “If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.” If you continue to believe and obey the truths you first embraced regarding the personality of the Father and the Son, you will be joined together with him in love. There will be seen that union for which Christ prayed just before his trial and crucifixion: RH March 8, 1906, par. 19
This short film it's great & can't wait for part II. When can we expect part II? Mt 11yr old & I can't hardly wait for it. We are hooked. Keep up the great work. 👍 & God bless 🙏🙏❤️
Wow, wow, wow, my 12 and 5 years old daughters watched this first. Then the 5 years old watched with me again. After one watch she told me exactly each and every of what happened and will happen!🫨😨🤗 I then discovered that one show can make a 5-year-old know the entire Bible and the Great Controversy in its entirety!!! So, imagine, this power is used by the enemy of the soul through Disney Channel, NetFlix, RU-vid Kids, Games, Movies ... What is needed? Based on Ellen G. White's writings and Uncle Arthur Maxwell's Bedtime stories, what is needed to have more of this? This ministry can and will impact millions if not billions of souls, and this generation is well-channeled, supported, and prayed for! We need and will support this ministry abundantly!
So sorry that your daughters learned many errors by watchng this video, Tsiry. Please read The Great Controversy book to understand the truth of the matter.
7:50 "master" - Not God? breathed into "it" - not him? KJV Genesis 2:7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
The video has potential for improvement. Exploring different AI video generation options could be beneficial. Dive into the book and discover the marvel of God's incredible plan.
they didnt want to listen to God. many use the flood as a excuse to say He is cruel and unmerciful. He gave them plenty of time to get on the ark. And yes there was plenty of room. this is my favorite display of God's mercy. do ppl really think God needed a flood? He couldve used any other means to end the life of the wicked. he gave them warning and a means to escape. but they hated God so much they didnt heed the flood warning. had they listened and boarded the ark their lives wouldve been spared. the flood literally exposed the evil that was in their hearts.
This was a very great film that you created the world really needs to see it I sent it to my pastors and my elders of my church and maybe we can see it on some Sabbath on our big screen thank you Ryan Day is a friend of mine he sent me your art and yes you are one of the great artists I write praise poetry myself to edify but you've inspired me to maybe be a digital artist and put my poetry in a digital form like this thank you blessings I'll be praying for you ministry
Its amazing and I believe the church should also know that movies work in preaching, imagine making an entire series on the great controversy, it would help people understand more. These days people are just lazy in reading a religious book, they would rather watch a movie not that books are not important
Not. Because he receive vision when he is alive before he was dead. This means that boy didnt go to heaven because its a vision of the boy whem he is alive and the vision of the girl when she fell asleep. And Jesus Clearly on the Last part says all of them need to choose. That boy choose God and when he died have assurance of salvation that what the girl has seen the future of her brother.
Merci Jésus ce travail vidéo très forte sa ma touché😢🙏✝️🙌le partager avec les païens pour nous aussi touché les âmes pour Jésus amen DIEU vous bénisse 🙏
5:01 ya’ll see those eyes. Pure evil wickedness. His face is proud and arrogant. The smile of a rebellious sinister spirit being. The Pride swallowed him up. this is the man that the wicked worship and soon that smile will turn into terror.
@@trishmcmahon1617 i read both the book have so much details than this video have. But one day soon when the game is over GOD will play the scene real for us to see and we can sit back and watch the game from the begining in details and how many times GOD send his angels to save us from death until you have accepted him and walk in the light till end of the game
Anyone who's read the Great Controversy book and has an understanding of Prophetic history can clearly see that the writters are off the mark on this one. Putting aside the unwise white-washed-ness...the chronology if events is off, the vagueness is deep, the fictional storyline is bordering on "going to heaven when you die" typa near death experience...The common portrayal of Lucifer as emo-ish and ugly is misleading..etc etc... For a bunch of reasons I would not share this with my non-sda or sda friends and family members... The theology is dissapointing and subtly misleading, which makes me wonder if it is actually SDA produced... Although the animation idea and execution is brilliant.
Although I enjoyed it and got the message they were trying to convey because I read the Book- You made some good points. We have to be careful and have discernment..
Rodney, yours is the first comment I've seen on this video that compares this video to the book, and points out some of the problems. The biggest one I saw is the outright lie that none of the angels knew what the plan of salvation was until Christ came to this earth.
I thought it was just me who felt this way based on the other comments I read. I wholeheartedly agree with you on every point you mentioned. I guess it’s really meant to be just an overview to spark interest. And I also got that “heaven when you die” feeling as well from this. But as you said, the animation idea is a good one, as I believe it could lead some to read The Great Controversy. It’s hard to cover the depth of that book in such a short time.
