Great 1961 film about Jesus, saw this film for the first time in South Africa at a Jehovah Witness gathering my father used to attend at that time. Even though I was regular Catholic Sunday church attendee always with the rest of my family, my father had swayed into the Jehovah sect and sometimes he took me along. They played this movie on a half size screen like five feet wide and four or less feet long white screen in front of the attendees in that very big hall they held the meetings. 

 

 

This was way before television had even arrived in South Africa! So I was pretty excited about seeing this movie there in that hall. I was so captivated by it, the clothes, the times, the places, the story of Jesus like I had never seen it before! Got to see it again years later at the APF club. This movie was done in a Ten Commandments style, that 50s movie technicolor just the best, giving it such artistic images like those we see in church or christian art.

 

 

Pretty decent job by the actor who played Jesus, it so could be true that Jesus did have blue eyes and a whiter appearance. There is a lot of real white people with blue eyes in nearly all races, including the Jewish people. Great action scenes there with Barabbas, always remembered it had a quite a bit of action in this film. This Jesus in this epic was the first I ever saw on screen.

 

                   

Still as I watch this today along with many Jesus productions including The Passion Of Christ that I watched before, the one that is the best and untouchable is the mini series Jesus Of Nazareth! That mini series just is it, the best! None have come close to Jesus of Nazareth.

 

 

Where it is opposite with Moses and The Ten Commandments, the technicolor 1950s classic is untouchable and no other production to date has been able to capture the story and feel of Exodus of the bible and that time period as well as Cecil B. Demille's The Ten Commandments! Franco Zeffirelli the director Jesus Of Nazareth probably would have a good shot given the chance to do it.

 

 

 

 

This weekend is Easter and all week long Jesus's much anticipated return to Jerusalem happened about 2008 years ago. Not long after his return his enemies were plotting in secret his capture. Little did they know he knew it all and had told his apostles before hand that he would die in Jerusalem. He also prophesied to his apostles as he stared out into Jerusalem from a far. Including that, when people see all the armies in the world surrounding Jerusalem know that the time has arrived, lift up your head because your redemption is near. Brings me to my observation that a lot of people are forgetting regarding Jesus's return. That he will return tolerant and submit himself to his enemies like the first time around, very sadly, sadly mistaken! This time he is coming to take what has been his all along, the true ruler and king of the earth to rule forever and ever! He will come to battle with his mighty angels to do battle with all the armies and the Antichrist that surround Jerusalem to do it harm. There will be blood spilled and them armies and Antichrist will be taken care of! If you think Jesus will be like a Democrat like an Obama or a Hillary or a Pelosy, embracing Evil dictators and taking the troops out of Iraq and let the terrorists have their way and attack Jewish people and ultimately after that Christians, you are dead wrong! A lot of people that are not happy with Bush's policies and actions, no doubt will not be happy with Jesus, because Jesus will do on a more grander scale what Bush has done. It amazes me, so many are blind to see that, that they will be caught by surprise and be found on the wrong side when Jesus does return. His return will also be accompanied by punishments by God to the earth, there will be earthquakes, fires, waters will be made bitter, one third of man will die with all plaques prepared for the earth. It will be like never before on such a grand scale, lucky are those who have been taken before hand in the rapture. It sure will be an amazing time as well as scary to be alive during that time. There will be such a commotion upon the earth, that people will realize they are living within the bible, in bible times, the revelation will be happening before their very eyes. I believe we have began to get a little taste of it with the events of 9/11! How many times did I hear broadcast journalists during 9/11 and after like the one year anniversary at Ground Zero, make references to the bible and utter biblical phrases. Like what was said at that anniversary, the howling wind is blowing as the names are being read, a setting almost like in biblical events. What happened to the twin towers is what the Antichrist will do to all nations that appose him. He will defeat many, but his attempt in the Holy land will fail, and this will bring his end, because the Savior stopped him. Them who meant us harm on 9/11 will join up with the Antichrist and terrorize the world into submission. Hope that America continues it's fight for the lord and stay on the right path and not submit as the democrats want to do. ABC plans to air it's annual showing of The Ten Commandments Saturday night. Watched Jesus Of Nazareth on DVD last week, pretend to watch the second part this Easter weekend, brilliant mini series! Happy Easter and I hope you find the joy and hope and faith in meditating in his life this Easter. Jesus Christ, God who walked the earth and was with us and taught us the road to salvation. He will return again and his reign will have no end, he shall rule forever and ever!

Great film, that 70s motion picture sure plays well on the Internet, check out the video. Plays excellent on the YouTube full screen feature also! This documentary feature film captures the early on faith of Amy Grant, I like a lot of what she sais through out the film. Most of all, God's plan for her life, and she goes on about how sometimes it turns out different than what we expect.

 

Wow, on Amazon they say this was released in 1982. So it was probably shot in 81, I was like 13 and going to Junior High School when this was being filmed. Amy Grant was 21 years old, oh my God, that's amazing! Looking at her then, and all she went onto, breaking into the pop mainstream in the mid 80s and then the 90s was all about Amy Grant.

 

              Amy so stunningly beautiful as always!

 

She hasn't changed all that much from these early days from her career in this film to the present. Sure looks like she was tapping into the fountain of youth even back then, incredible! Enjoyed watching this, it was great!
