A Dystopian America Where Bibles, Christianity Are Banned: New Movie Imagines True Terror
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 май 2024
- A feature film that imagines a dystopian America where Bibles are banned, Christianity is vanquished, and believers are forced into underground churches is set to release in theaters nationwide this summer. "Disciples in the Moonlight," starring Brett Varvel, will have a minimum five-day run in more than 1,000 movie theaters starting July 24.
The film's chilling yet captivating subject matter is certain to attract attention, particularly in a beleaguered culture in which religious liberty is a top concern for many. "Disciples in the Moonlight,' takes place in the not-too-distant future after the government has banned the Bible for its 'offensiveness' and replaced it with a government-approved version," a description of the film reads. "A small group of Christians are recruited to smuggle God’s Word to underground churches throughout the Midwest. With a ruthless federal agent in hot pursuit, the believers must choose between following the law or honoring and trusting God."
Varvel, who also directs the film, said the concept came to him 10 years ago, with he and his team working on the project over the past decade to help make it come to fruition. He calls the movie his "love letter to the church of Jesus Christ." "I believe this movie could be the start of a movement in our culture - to awaken people to treasure the Word of God and boldly proclaim the name of Jesus, no matter the cost," the actor said. "The time has now come to share this powerful story delivered by the most incredible cast and crew."
Varvel told CBN News "Disciples in the Moonlight" has long been a dream and passion project. His hope is that the focus remains on Jesus as people come to be entertained and inspired. “From the beginning, I wanted to lift high the Word of God as absolute authority, and something that we should hold highly as absolute truth." he said. "But, then also, the name of Jesus Christ, which is the only name under heaven given to mankind whereby we might be saved." Watch him explain.

It’s not a question of if the Bible gets banned in the United States but when because it is happening
💯💯💯💯
How and when? Most people in the US are Christian. Its much harder to be a atheist.
It’s already happening in Canada….
im gonna keep mine anyway.
So very true! As Kingdom Builders (Christians), especially here in America, I feel like we take the Bible and our privilege of worshipping Jesus Christ for granted! We need to be BOLD about the good news of the Gospel! Be blessed and encouraged!✝️❤️🙏🏾💪🏾
As a volunteer for the Voice of the Martyrs I look forward to seeing this. I am so glad God put this on Brett's heart. It's perhaps prophetic. Most of the Persecuted church believes American church turn is coming.
My wife and I have been long time supporters of VOM. We truly believe that something like this is on its way here.
We see how strong the faith is of our brothers and sisters in Christ in nations that persecute them. Such an inspiration to me.
Indeed it is & alot sooner than many care to believe, let alone, acknowledge; & its going to hit us much harder because the general mindset here in America is that it could never happen here...
Yet prophecy has predicted it, current events are foreshadowing it & the history of nations is repeating...
Some of us have already lost a great deal.
Went to a Catholic funeral yesterday and the priest quoted Jesus saying ‘ I am the way TO the truth and the life’. What? Good example of why we need our own copy of the Bible so we are not deceived.
You probably didn't hear correctly.
That extra word. Makes all the difference. Catholicism changed Saturday worship to Sunday worship to venerate the ☀. 🙈🙄
Praise God that there are actors who live the Lord and who are bold enough to say so publicly and to promote movies that are God-centered!
*Who LOVE the Lord and who live for the Lord!
Its propaganda.
@@Quint-ib4nfproof?
@@Quint-ib4nf"Propaganda" Please DEFINE!! TALES OF AN "IMAGINARY" GOD!? WAIT TILL JESUS COMES. HE ISN'T A PROPHET!! HE IS THE ONLY BEGOTTEN AND PROMISED SON OF GOD!!! READ REVELATION,WRITTEN BY APOSTLE JOHN,INSPIRED FROM GOD!!
Most folk’s aren’t convinced that a day is coming, that to have a Bible would be a death sentence! You are so correct! Even I sometimes get a little complacent! And this is scary, because I know this day is coming if I live long enough! As a Christian we all need to seek the light and word of God first, before anything or anyone else! We need to be the light of God founded and true to His purpose!
Not in the US. You cant be president without being a Christian.
We said Yes , to hosting Israeli travellersmany years ago , full well knowing , that the future may bring us a death sentence for doing so . 20 yrs on , we're here , at the gates of such madness , IT TAKES A VERY BRAVE AND CONVINCED PERSON , TO BECOME A FOLLOWER OF CHRIST YAHSHUA ,TODAY . THE madness that is enveloping humanity today , is what ghe first Believers must have experienced 2000 yrs ago . ARE WE THERE YET? YES WE ARE!
@@Quint-ib4nf Or at least seeming to be a Christian.
As a Christian you should know that Jesus was a Jew from Palestine.
@@DemosBrutus And the relevance of that statement is... ?
Indeed Jesus is Light to the world
Many genocides have been committed in the name of God and to follow the light of Christ.
@@DemosBrutusso what is your solution, to “be your own light” or to sacrifice yourself to the event horizon of a black hole? The end game is salvation , not maintaining life on earth
@@DemosBrutusproof?
@@WayfaringStranger1420 So, what is your solution? To persecute and applaud genocides throughout history in the name of a god of genocidal armies or to follow some Christ in whose name the most formidable massacres of humanity have been made?
@@DemosBrutus my solution is to NOT put tv and what hype words being slung around on the news over the Word of God and Prayer. Humanity is flawed and that is why we need a savior, this is a basic premise of Christianity. Even the church is full of human beings throughout time working out their own salvation. In the end we each face Judgement based on our own deeds in life. It is a huge error to throw out God based on a narrative spun on Christianity to keep people from salvation. The only way to the Father is through Jesus Christ, The only Church not man made is the Catholic Church. I personally have had enough of the world’s madness. I have submitted my soul to the teachings of the Catholic Church after 20 years of truth seeking. Also, there had definitely been mass killings of Christians from the beginning of the faith, so the argument is flawed.
Excellent! Unfortunately, the Bible has been sabotaged already, many times, but the truth will be found, by those who seek it. May Yahweh bless all those exposing darkness, and delivering light. Come quickly Lord Jesus!
The Bible was sabotaged from its very creation by the decadent Roman Empire.
what do you mean 'sabotaged already, many times..."?
That is what the Islam believes, but I trust that the truth is stil in the Bible because it is the Word of God and He takes care of it.
Dead Sea scrolls
@@martinscrapp7166 The Bible is a monumental sabotage of humanity.
The American Church has been very blessed and favored. This is coming to an end due to sin. In my country of origin believers are severely persecuted for both. Imprisonment, tortured
and loosing your job. I know this first hand. Pray, believe and witness about our Lord Jesus Christ. Matthew 5:44🙏.
The American Church don't trust the USA church.
Even Lord Jesus Christ can say that USA is American but is not America.
Great job thanks 🙏 and many blessings to you project well done 👍
Over 30 years ago , we were being warned this was coming , I've been collecting bibles from op shops , recycling centre's and anywhere I've found them, Some belonged to great grandmother's, and g fathers , . There's coming a day when others WILL VALUE THESE ANCIENT TREASURES , RESCUE THEM NOW WHILE WE CAN , ❤ NZ
Same. You're not alone.
God help us
I've been under attack and censored (here on RUclips) because of sharing the Word. Please brothers and sisters pray for me I feel very isolated and alone because of this. I've been taken away and thrown into the internet prison just because I preached. I'm being very mindful of my words so I don't get banned even while typing this because it might be deleted. Never been attacked like this. I'll never stop sharing the Word but if I share those Words they silence me so how can I be heard and spread the message? I don't know but I'll never give up
Lately, CensorTube has been on a rampage of deleting comments, mine and others, for no rational reason that i can think of. I'm on the verge of no longer watching it.
Did you preach before the internet?
The early church did & the gospel spread to every habitable part of the world in 1 generation.
There are many ways to preach the everlasting gospel outside of the internet, but the most impressive & impacting way is by our lifestyle; allowing the light of our faith & beliefs 2 shine thru our words&deeds
Keep sharing His love for the lost souls. 😊
This is a war against principalities and powers and rulers in spiritual high places. Be encouraged because you're doing the right thing. Be wise as serpents yet gentle as doves. Everything will be revealed. Praises to God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior!❤🎉
Such a wonderful message…much needed ❤
Praise the Lord.
This IS already our reality, in many places around the World.
Not in the US though.
@@Quint-ib4nf Our Government has been keeping track of people buying Bible's, shopping at Cabalas and Pro Bass Shop.

_I am only one of thousands who over the last 10 years had been led to collect as many bible's as possible and place them strategically, namely areas of their homes containing all necessary supplies for those left behind to find, as we understood the day IS coming where the printed word will mean death. Maranatha_
A Wonderful Movie ! That brings us closer to Jesus ❤ ! Whom if we accept with faith,will fill us with love,peace & hope leading to Eternal Salvation & to Whom there is no comparison ! Thanks & Praise be to Jesus ! 🙏❤️🌹
Yes! May we cherish and share the Word of God as long as we can..
There is a very sobering passage in Amos.
“Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:
and they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.”
Amos 8:11-12 KJV
God bless you all.❤️🙏
I was awakened one early morning about 20 years ago , by a voice , to my mind , which made me sit bolt upright , startled . READ FROM THE BOOK OF AMOS ,AND STRENGTHEN THE THINGS THAT REMAIN , ! That message still stirs me to this day , I spent a huge time reading it, praying , fasted over it , and the standout message to me is ,Yes , a famine IS COMING to the world, a famine of God's Word, and sadly today , the young people , will be victims of deep ignorance and will be easily taken advantage of , Ignorance is not bliss, IT IS BIAS . , which is territory for the abusers . PRAY , as never before , !❤
Amen 🙏 indeed. The LORD bless you
Sadly, I fear that this may well happen very soon in real life and in my lifetime, where the most likely place for this to happen is my native Ireland, historically a deeply Catholic country - the truth of this must at all times be proclaimed as widely as possible, as warned by Archbishop Vigano and by Andrew Torba of Gab
Yes of course it's going to happen haven't you read your Bible is like the main story besides our Lord and savior Jesus's sacrifice
I feel that if they tried to ban or did ban the Bible more people would seek it and there would be a huge revival.
In the South they will face a hard resistance.
This is the beginning of the revival, so we must rejoice, brothers and sisters ❤
With the seeds planted, people will come to realize that there is only one that we should vote on not just for America, but for the world: Jesus is King now and forever 🕊
Thanks, and great work! I look forward to the movie!!
The Laodicean churches in America are Luke warm. Christian’s are complacent. Our freedoms are coming to an end shortly. Who will stand for God when that happens? Choose this day whom you will serve. Jesus is Lord!
Excited for this movie🥰
Thank you for this interview. I am looking forward to this movie 🎥
I have seen Brent in several movies and a TV show on Pure Flix. He's terrific!
Thanks!
Love the content Billy!
Watching this video that was recommended to me on RUclips. 5 minutes in and I’m crying my eyes out, so much emotion inside I feel like I’m going to burst. Thank you CBN for all of the important and meaningful content that you all are pushing out every day. And to Brett Varvel I am looking forward to seeing the film that you and your team created. Will it be released in Canada at the same time? 🤞🏻🙏🏻
I believe the Bible speaks to this happening
The Bible is not a talking book.
@@DemosBrutus Then you're not reading it correctly.
@@andrewtuell1991 I can read a book harder and continue hearing nothing.
Hope the film is available all over the world! And another film Bearing Witness (2023). And Screams before Silence.
Thanks for bringing this to us
Jesus open the eyes and hearts of all people in America to the Truth of God's Holy Word the Bible in Jesus name I pray Amen 🙏 Jesus our Savior and our God Hallelujah Amen 🙏
It’s a movie. Why so many Bible edits
Most of the world is not Christian and does not have to be.
@DemosBrutus but one day you will meet the Lord and will regret that day I'll be praying for you to find the God you reject 🙏
Jesus had brown skin and hair like wool
@@johnnemeth825 Do not threaten me with your spirits of vengeance and death. That only works for people who fantasize, spiritualize, and applaud genocide.
Its the world we live in today too. No prayers in school, morality decline, the "woke" movement it's a lot.
Actually, Florida allows prayer and after-school bible study next school year. But I don't know much about the other RED states
I can't wait to see this movie!! Jesus is King!!! ✝️😇
This is slowly going on now with Bethel's School of Supernatural Ministry. Bill Johnson's teachings are laced with new age beliefs sadly. There are Bible translations like the Passion Translation that have seeds of new age in the language essentially.
@@johnmann8659 Just search youtube! Long for truth 1, also Fighting for the Faith,
Justin Peters is another, Apologia. Those all are very good teachers . Chris on Fighting for the Faith is my favorite because he really teaches and understands the ancient languages and stresses exegesis verses eisegesis. Please do your homework, N.A.R is everywhere. Bethel music is played everywhere and their goal is to get all their teachings into every church around the world. The Lord rescued me out of two classes that were teaching word of faith and N.A.R and I'm so grateful.
Blessings to everyone ✝️
Looking forward to see this.
Amen! ✝️❤️✝️👍
This movie is going to be the alarm call for all us who are Christians because we live in times when our freedoms are growing increasingly thin come Lord Jesus
Timely!
I pray for my brothers and sisters through my voice of martyrs magazine /calendar everyday! They are amazing in their faith.
They are my inspiration!
Can't wait to see the movie !
very good
Put this on my calendar
I had not heard of this movie. Great premise! Trailer was so so. We'll see how it goes.
Very interested in seeing this movie!
I hope this movie will be released on YT once. We had to wait so long for movies like Sound of Freedom. It was banned by Hollywood, now finally on Prime.
Cant Wait!
Sounds like an interesting film and maybe not so fictional.
God gave us a vision as well and we made the film WINDS
Amos 8:11-13 says "11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord:12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it.13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst." We are in the very last days. Seek the Lord while He may be found. Maranatha- come Lord Jesus!
This passage of scripture is the truth were living in in this day and age.
Kingsville Ontario Canada..1st...WOOHOO!!🎉🎉😂
Psalm 119:11
King James Version
11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
That’s why it’s very important to memorize scripture and study The Word.
Psalm 91 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.[a]
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
More than likely such a scenario could easily happen in the current climate. A famous rugby player was sacked in Australia for quoting the Bible on his personal social media accounts and a school principle resigned from his position for speaking out against homosexuality (also in Australia).
Reminds me of Martin Luther and other Reformers:what they went through to uphold the word of God
Like Daniel stand on the Word of the LORD GOD
Why is everyone worried? 2 points, 1) we knew it's coming, 2) send us to jail and we have a captive audience.
It's a bit more than gaol time. Read Revelation 20 from verse 4.
🙏🏾
I love the movies that he has made and been in, I wish there were more movies like what he produces and plays in
This movie sounds so engaging!
My bible is my most valuable and prized possession! You can have anything else! Thank God His Word is stored in my heart ♥️ and mind I love ❤️ you Jesus! Amen
I want to see this movie! Folks do need to wake up to the times we live. We will be returning to the book of Acts and persecution is definitely coming. Jesus is coming too folks. Get in your bibles and prepare yourself. Get in prayer and ask the Lord God what He wants you to do! I don't know about you, but do you join a team to sit on the bench? Or do you want to play and get active? Be like Isaiah and say pick me Lord. I am want to go. If God be for us WHO can be against us?!!!! Greater is He that is in you than he who is in the world. God bless yall in the mighty name of Jesus!
persecution is not coming. Christianity is the main religion of the US.
@@Quint-ib4nf True Christianity or a watered-down secularized version of Christianity that allows every abomination under the sun?
Book Of Eli. I have watched Denzel Washington. Does pick good characters.
God grant you success.😊
This happened in Japan a long time ago...if you watch the movie "Silence", it tells you about that event. There were a small group of Japanese people who were Christians that hid in a cave or village and were forced to say if they believed in Jesus Christ or they would be killed.
Okay, I see it in the description. If we haven't been raptured before it comes out, I want to see it
The church will have to go thru the time of trouble & great tribulation; just like Daniel & his companions did, but Christ the Lord promises to go thru it with His faithful, persecuted, followers
When will it be in theater's?
It would have been nice if you would have mentioned name of movie at start😮😮😮
You can read it on the screen behind the guest!!!
It’s called Disciples in the Moo light which really I did not hear until the end.
They did mention it at the very beginning.
Mentioned by the 7 second mark…
The Lord has given many visions of this happening and he has grown a harvest of outlawed Bibles in America subgenre. So cool, glory to God!
I believe that we in America have had to too good, for too long , so we don’t appriciate our rights and freedoms .
And I firmly believe, that we will be loosing those freedoms and rights.
As a Believer you must know that USA is not America and never will be.
Same in the UK.
I believe God is sifting us so that we can handle a reviving further down the line.
@@rom8.288 He is definitely setting things up for The End.
It’s not just those that reject and hate God ecause they want to keep sinning, it’s the Church that’s corrupt and fallen away, trying to please The Woeld and ignoring Gods laws.
I pray that more people realize the Truth , repent and accept Yashua’s gift of salvation .
And I pray God gives us Bible Believing Christian’s strength and wisdom.
Stay in The Word, my brothers and sisters, Uplift Gods word, time is getting shorter and the world needs God more than ever.
America is not only one country.
We are already here
No book should be banned
And here is the lesson! "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in
moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands in times of challenge
and controversy [Doctor Martin Luther King, Junior]"! We must always remember
that! I say this as a faithful Christian, and as an American citizen! I also strongly
suggest that Christians read "The Cost Of Discipleship" by Dietrich Bonhoeffer!
God bless the movie
FEAR..
NOT FAITHLESS!
But it is happening in America.
In what way is this happening now?
USA is not America anyways.
@@Visualindexpro It isn't. This is about a handful of snowflake Christians who think they're living under Nero's Rome because they only get their way 97% of the time in Congress and the courts....
Yep
@Visualindexpro Not yet but it will very soon
Not a fantasy, not fiction. Coming soon
This seems like it would be quite possible.
I've said it and been saying it persecution is coming to this country I like we have never seen before. Get ready for those who truly follow Christ,.
Well now, you cannot read certain passages.
Thanks Lord for your peace
Thanks Lord for your salvation
Thanks Lord for bible study class
Psalm 125. Jesus is Lord
Canwait to see this movie...you aren't saying its name. Did I miss that?
Mentioned by the 7 second mark Disciples in the Moonlight
Uh. I thought this video was News. This is what's already happening, yes, even here. Where have you guys been?
Ok the title is too close to that old song by Anne Murray,
so I will now alter the lyrics since it is running through my head:
We'll be disciples in the moonlight,
right up til the break of day.
oooh, the night is young,
and on bended holy knee
Darling I'll meet you after midnight,
hand in hand we'll pray,
dancing through the Milky way
And we will find a little hideaway,
where we can pray the whole night away.
this would mirror the beginning of Christianity - when early christians had to mark secret entrances to a cave to meet in secret, and spread the manuscripts from paul and others.
This is what our chinese brothers often endure
The thing I’m confused about is that it is a constitutional right for us to follow any religion (in this sense faith) we please. It’s constitutionally wrong for them to ban the Bible
This is not America when the constitution is essentially being trampled along with bill of rights...and pretty much natural law
Correct & so there will be a new constitution for a new global order, with new founding fathers
Yes, things are lining up. We take our freedoms for granted so often now. When it is lost... we will finally understand everything. We can't even begin to imagine how it could be like to experience it, until it's right there in our faces.
But even in the face of danger, we must stand firm: steadfast and immovable.
Im guessing GAM will review this.
Where can we watch this movie???
🙏❤️👍🙏
June 24th y'all a 5 day run in the theaters!!!!
I’ve been wanting to buy extra bibles for a while now. I think it’s time.
They are not going anywhere.
Whered you hear that?
I know other people even myself who have had dreams of persecution in the united states
Please read and pray over acts 16. Pray for yourself & for everyone who had those dreams.
By the way, the insanity of God is also a book too.
There are poor translations of the bible also, that lead people astray.
Okay? I get people have their own views, but some people go way overboard with religion.
Religion, way overboard- yes! But NOT true Christianity. Religion and Christianity are two different things . Its important to know the difference.
@rhondawilliams6643
Christianity is a religion; Bible religion.
Religion = Any system of faith & worship. (1828 Noah Websters Dictionary).
Unfortunately Christianity today isn't what it was when the church was 1st founded, & that's because it has been infiltrated by Roman paganism due to lowering the high standard of righteousness & uniting with pagans/idolaters. What's called Christianity today is nothing short of baptized Paganism or shall I say, Roman Catholicism, but the Bible is a religion; in fact its the only true religion, the only religion that came from GOD & so its the only 1 that can lead to HIM.
27"Pure religion & undefiled before GOD and the FATHER is this, To visit the fatherless & widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world." James 1:27
I hope I'm wrong (I Really Do) but looking at The Trailer, I suspect there will be an Altar Call at the end. ie you basic Christian Movie.
Why will you feel convicted?

I hope I will be carried away by normal death or the rapture before the great tribulation starts where these things can become reality! 😮
Was the apostolic church or the Protestant reformers, who suffered unimaginable persecution for over 1,200 years at the hands of the pagan Roman church "raptured" out of great tribulation?
