[clank of marbles]

[music]

Thomas, Henry,
time to come in.

[music]

[clank of marbles]

Roger!

Hold on there young man.

Let me go,
let me go.

Settle down, I am not
wishin' you any harm.

Let me go home!

Roger.

Where do you think you are going
with those marbles?

I wanted to play with them.

But the marbles
do not belong to you.

I need some to play with.

Young man, it is wrong to steal
items from other people.

But I like marbles.

Roger, I am sure that
the children would be happy

to share their
marbles with you.

Please return the marbles
young man.

And you should apologize to
Mrs. Matthews and the children

for this unjust act.

--Hey!
--Roger!

Gentlemen as you all know,

our Dr. Carlisle has authored
a manuscript entitled

The Changing Times.

His publisher has requested
a statement by the seminary

for the back cover of
the book which, they feel,

will aid in the
book's credibility.

And sales.

Yes, that too I suspect.

We have as you well
know a strict policy

that any such endorsements
by the board be unanimous.

Well I regret to say

that Dr. Anderson is still
recovering from his illness

and will not be able
to be with us.

Unfortunately he has
also informed me

that as of two days ago,

he had as yet still been unable
to read the manuscript.

Consequently,
his vote will be excused.

But he did express
deep disappointment

and assured me that he would
read it as soon possible.

Is Norris's health improving?

Yes, yes, his doctor
says happily so.

He should be back teaching
perhaps within the week.

Did they ever find out what
was wrong with the poor fellow?

Not exactly, no.

He seems to have contacted
some sort of infection

that caused him to become
delirious and weak.

Well, I have missed Norris.

He's certainly the most
interesting Professor

to speak with amongst my peers.

Thank you.

Now gentlemen,
I suggest we all take a moment

to express our opinion of
the manuscript to Dr. Carlisle.

You have great
courage, Carlisle.

Well, if Daniel can
face the lions,

I am prepared
to face this group.

[laughing]

Dr. Henry?

Insightful, Russell.

Excellent reading.

You have my endorsement.

Very kind of you, Dr. Henry.

Dr. Wiseman.

Well, despite several
misspelled words

and much bad grammar,
I have no objections.

[laughing]

Thank you, Dr. Wiseman.

The spelling we can correct.

But as for the bad grammar...

I am afraid that
now you are starting

to encroach upon my style.

[laughing]

Well we certainly would not
want to encroach.

Dr. Butler.

You have my "yea" vote

predicated on my receiving
a complimentary copy.

I believe we can make
those arrangements.

[laughing]

I, too Russell, found your work

to be highly thought-provoking,
excellent scholarship.

You are to be congratulated.

I'm sorry to interrupt
your meeting, gentlemen.

Norris, what a surprise.

Are you certain you are well
enough to be here?

Oh yes, thank you
for your concern sir.

I came because I had wanted
to speak with Russell

about his manuscript.

Well, yes, we were just
discussing it.

We all found it
quite stimulating

and certainly helpful to
whomever might read it.

Yes, Russell's work shows
great attention to detail

and an impressive
amount of research.

But I would like to
speak to him privately

pertaining to one matter, sir.

You have difficulty
with something, Doctor?

Well, there is just
this one matter

I'd like to clear up, sir.

What do you not
agree with, Norris?

Russell please,
I would like you and I

to discuss this
privately first.

Let us discuss it now.

We have no secrets here.

Yes, Norris.

I should like to hear
your thoughts.

Well, I appreciate
your interest gentlemen.

But, I do not think
this is the proper place

for an open discussion.

No worry Norris,
I give you my permission.

Russell, please.

I give you my permission.

If you wish.

One of the themes
in Dr. Carlisle's book

is the encouragement
to proclaim

the moral standards taught
by Jesus to all people.

And what is wrong
with this premise?

AND, I am quoting
from page sixty seven,

"...even if it is apart from His
name and if people are rejecting

"the authority of Jesus Christ
in their lives.

"We must still teach
the ways of Christ

"for the better
interest of society.

The Lord's teachings
are best for all."

The Lord's teachings
are best for all.

You cannot be disagreeing
with this statement, Norris.

No, what Dr. Carlisle
is implying

is that we can put forth
the standards of Christ

apart from His name.

And I think this is deadly.

Are you saying
that it would be wrong

to simply tell a boy
not to steal?

If this is all the information
we give the boy,

yes I believe it would be.

Oh come now, Norris.

Without the authority
of Christ,

mankind is merely
left to compare ideas

and morality becomes
a matter of opinion.

One person says
it is wrong to steal,

the next person
says it is not.

No standard is set.

We need to tell this boy

that the Lord Jesus Christ
said not to steal.

Well I agree this is best

but we cannot always
mention the name of Jesus,

it may not be received,

especially by those already
offended by the church

or brought up
in another religion.

But Jesus is the authority
behind His commands

and people need
to understand this fact.

If we remove His authority,

then we have no basis
on which to command.

We understand what
you're saying Norris

but do you think you might
have taken this thought

to an extreme?

It is quoting a source

without giving credit
to the person who said it.

When we quote Shakespeare,

we always say
"Shakespeare said this".

It should be the same
with the Scripture.

Observe the Old Testament
as our example.

How often do we read
where the prophets first say,

"Thus saith the Lord"
before they speak?

Yes Norris, however these moral
standards taught universally

would greatly benefit
social behavior.

Here, here.

Gentlemen, gentlemen,
please hear me.

Satan is not against
good morals,

He is opposed to Jesus Christ.

A man can have good morals
his entire life,

yet you and I know he will
go to hell when he dies.

It is Jesus Christ that everyone
needs and the devil knows this

more than all of us.

Dr. Anderson.

Satan's goal is to remove
the name of Christ

from His commands.

And when we do this,

people are deceived
into thinking

that if they live a good life

they will receive God's
approval and attain heaven.

I think we can use morals
to attract people to the Lord.

Yes, but the ultimate
issue in Christianity

is the authority of Christ

and the devil is
attacking this authority

by convincing us to teach
morals alone.

Look at our families,
they are weakening.

Records are showing

that over 5 percent
of marriages end in divorce

and our young people are
becoming more disrespectful.

Now I believe this
is a direct result

of eliminating the
authority of Jesus Christ

from His commands.

Norris.

In the case of telling
this boy not to steal.

If I can not tell him that this
command is from the Lord,

I would rather say nothing
and let him steal.

And then, perhaps some day

he will sense his need
for the Saviour.

You could not have
possibly derived all of this

from one statement, Norris.

See where the statement
leads, Russell.

I think you are taking it down
your own path just nicely, sir.

Gentlemen.

Dr. Anderson, Dr. Carlisle,

I strongly encourage you both
to meet privately

to resolve your differences

and I pray you will allow
the Lord to be your mediator.

When you are in agreement,
we will all reconvene.

Until then, let us commit
this matter to prayer.

This meeting is adjourned.

May I have a word with you?

You've already had
quite a few.

Remember Russell, I wanted
to speak privately with you.

Yes you did.

Well, it looks as though
you have your wish.

I would like you to come
to my home tonight.

No thank you, Norris.

There is something
I must show you.

And what might this be?

Your official written critique
of my manuscript?

No, nothing like that.

Something you must
see to believe.

I am surprised you will not
endorse the book.

Actually, to be more accurate,
I am shocked.

Russell, I did say it was
well researched, but--

But, to tell a boy
not to steal is wrong

if apart from the
name of the Lord.

Russell, there must be
a connection

between the Lord
and His teachings,

we can never separate the two.

Now, I have invited
you to my home

to explain why
I am saying this.

The others, including the Dean,
have endorsed the book.

Do you see yourself
better than these fine men?

Oh, come now, Russell.

Why do you say such a thing?

And why must we
discuss it at your home?

Why not discuss the matter
here and now.

No, no this is not
the place.

You must come to my home.

I will look for you
this evening.

And if I shall not?

You must.

...But Russell, this endorsement
will not only be helpful

for your book but also
beneficial to this seminary

which needs continued exposure

for the work being
accomplished here.

Yes, but I do not think
Norris will change his mind.

I would not give up so easily.

I encourage you to try to
speak with Norris again

or perhaps talk to the Dean

to see if an exception
can be made.

The Dean?

I would not wish to alienate
anyone on the faculty staff,

nor infringe upon our
friendship with Norris.

This is nothing personal
against our good friend.

I just see this as a matter
of standing up for something

which you believe is important.

Norris will understand.

Perhaps...

Why would Norris wish
to cause me this pain?

Norris is a wise
and kind man.

He would never do anything with
the intention of hurting you.

For some reason though

he's trying to
keep the seminary

from endorsing the book.

You should go
and speak with him.

You do remember
he had taken ill.

The Doctor said
he'd become delirious.

Russell, please.

Go and speak with him,
you will feel better.

Yes, I believe his illness could
be affecting his judgment.

The endorsement
will also be beneficial

for this seminary which
needs continued exposure

for the work being
accomplished here.

This is my most diligent effort.

And, an excellent effort it is.

As I have said, I think it
is extremely well written.

And the others did, also,
if I may humbly say.

But I am not understanding
Dr. Anderson.

He has always supported my work
in the past.

Have you had the opportunity
yet to meet with him

to resolve this matter?

I spoke with him briefly
yesterday in my classroom.

And?

He has asked for
another meeting at his home.

And?

I do not foresee us
coming to an agreement, sir.

[sigh]
I see.

Sir, I would like
to ask for an exception

to the unanimity
rule by the board.

An exception?

Yes, so I may receive
the endorsement.

Doctor, I cannot change
the policy.

Such endorsements
must be unanimous.

But it does seems a shame, sir,

that because of one,
the work remains unpublished.

The work will not
remain unpublished.

You may not receive the
endorsement of the seminary,

but the work will not
remain unpublished.

Sir, we both know

it would greatly aid
the work's circulation,

and I would not wish
to publish a book

without the endorsement
of my peers.

I appreciate your feelings.

Sir...perhaps Norris' illness
is still affecting his judgment.

Dr. Carlisle!

Well, it is possible, sir.

I'm afraid I can help you
no further.

You did say so yourself, sir--

Thank you sir.

Are you certain?

Yes, very certain.

It came to me last evening.

A seventy-five percent
majority vote

by the seminary
board of directors

can overrule
any policy in place.

If we change the
unanimous policy,

I would be certain to receive
the seminary's endorsement.

I am only pointing out
a possibility.

Yes, and perhaps a solution.

But how would this action
appear to Norris?

I am not intending to breach
our friendship with Norris

but I, too, in times past,

have questioned the unanimous
policy in my mind.

It seems to me that we are not
always going to see eye to eye

on every last detail
in our published works.

And it seems to me that
we are not always going to see

eye to eye on every last detail
of our published works.

Now as you know, a seventy-five
percent majority vote

by the board can overrule
any policy in place.

Therefore, I can
not personally see

why Dr. Anderson's disagreement

should stand in the way of
the seminary's endorsement.

No offense towards
our mutual friend.

Are you certain you wish
to take this next step?

Yes sir, and I have counseled
with another professor

about the entire matter.

And who would this be?

I would rather not say sir.

Very well.

I shall endeavor
to set up a meeting

for the early part
of next week.

Thank you, sir.

And I would strongly urge
you to make one last effort

to resolve your differences
with Dr. Anderson.

Yes, sir.

I will speak with him.

You look unhappy.

It appears the board will most
likely change the policy.

Yes, but we may be too late.

The publisher is ready
to take the book to printing

and they're asking
for the endorsement.

I may not be able to get
the meeting assembled

in time to get the
statement I desire.

Go and visit with Norris.

I'm sure the two of you
can work this out.

No, I do not think so.

Russell, you promised the Dean.

I am so glad you came, Russell.

Norris, my publisher is
waiting to begin printing.

Now I'm sure you
have a fine barn,

but we need to settle our
misunderstanding quickly.

Now what I want to tell you,
as well as show you,

must be kept secret.

No one must know.

Do I have your word?

You have my word.

No one must know.

Yes, of course.

I am sorry you never met
my father, Russell.

He was a godly man and
very committed to the Lord.

I'm familiar with
John Anderson.

His articles on science and
the Bible are brilliant works.

But I came here to--

He was also fascinated
with inventing.

It was his hobby.

An inventor?

Yes.

It seems I have inherited
his passion for it myself.

Norris, please I--

Before my father
went to be with the Lord,

he came upon an idea, a theory,
something incredible.

He completed his project,

yet sadly died before
he had a chance to test it.

Why are you
telling me this?

Russell, the result of my
father's work...is this.

Beautiful, is it not?

What is this?

Something incredible.

Yes, but what is it?

It is a singularity
chrono displacement device.

I beg your pardon.

It's my father's
technical term.

It is a transporter of sorts.

This machine can transport
a person...through time.

Transport a person
through time?

As in time travel?

This is impossible.

No, it is possible, Russell.

My only regret is that my
father never experienced

time travel himself.

Then how do you know it works?

I tested it.

You tested it?

You travelled through time?

Yes. I traveled over one
hundred years into the future.

[chuckles]

Over one hundred years,
to the twentieth ...

no, the twenty-first century?

Correct.

You?

This is an absurdity.

It is the truth, Russell.

Norris, time travel
is impossible.

I'm afraid that your illness
has affected your judgment

more than I thought.

My friend,
time travel is possible.

What proof can you provide?

I tried to acquire some
physical evidence

but the machine
will not allow me

to bring anything
back from the future.

And why not?

Well, I have reasoned

it was because the article
would not yet exist.

It would be impossible for me to
show you a coin from the 1950's

before it was even minted.

Of course.

It would not have
been minted yet.

I see.

This is why I have
arranged a journey for you.

A journey?

For me?

Yes. Into the future.

[chuckles]
Oh come now.

Russell, you must see

where the teaching of
good morals alone will lead.

You must see for
yourself what happens

when we remove the authority
of Christ out of life.

You've gone way beyond
reason here, Norris.

This is all nonsense.

Now you needn't worry
about your wife or your classes.

When you leave tomorrow night,
you will return from the future

just seconds after
you had originally left.

It is impossible
to travel through time

and I shall not listen to
these delusions any longer.

Now if you'll excuse me
please Norris--

Russell you must listen--

It is impossible to
travel through time.

But it is possible.

Good evening, Norris.

Russell, please.

Good evening.

You must see for yourself
what happens in the future.

And remember gentlemen,
science and scientific findings

do not make the statements
in the Bible true.

Scripture is always true
and never needs verification.

Scientific support
of the Scripture

only means that
the science is true,

because we know that
the Scripture already is.

My advice to any scientist
would be to make sure

that his findings coincide
with God's Word.

This is, if he wants to be
a good scientist.

[laughter]

[Bell rings]

Tomorrow we shall speak

on Jesus' view of Scripture
out of Matthew chapter four.

Class dismissed.

Good day, Dr. Carlisle.

Good day, men...

Hello Dr. Anderson.

Hello, hello...

Hello Dr. Anderson.

Norris, what brings you here?

You should be home resting.

I wanted to make sure you
were coming by my home tonight.

Everything is set.

You leave at eight o'clock.

Eight o'clock?

Yes, for your journey.

My journey.

Why do you persist?

You had me up half the night
thinking on this absurdity.

Russell, you still do not
believe me?

Do you honestly
expect me to?

I expect you to explore
the possibility.

What possibility?

It is impossible to travel - -
to travel through time

and I will not be
a part of any jest.

Russell, we cannot continue
our disagreement forever.

And you cannot continue
this notion of time travel.

Your journey will resolve
all our differences.

Russell, I am urging you

come to my home tonight
at eight o'clock.

I will not be coming.

You must.

Eight o'clock.

Gentlemen.

Dr. Carlisle.

I have just spoken with
the other Professors

about the unanimous policy

and they too are
in agreement with us

that it should be changed.

Thank you,
but we may be too late.

Oh?

I have just received
a telegram from the publisher

requesting the
endorsement immediately

as the book is ready
to be taken to press.

However, I heard from the Dean

we may not be able
to assemble a meeting

for almost two weeks as
one of the board members

is away from the city.

I'm sorry to hear this.

Yes, this is a problem.

Perhaps you could ask them
to delay the printing

until the meeting is assembled.

Perhaps, I could try.

At any rate you must try
to speak with Norris again.

I'm afraid our friend
Norris is not well

and this will not
end in my favor.

You must try Russell.

This may be
your only remaining option.

I will speak with you later.

[music]

(Carlisle)
And you cannot continue
this notion of time travel.

(Norris) Your journey will
resolve all our differences.

Russell I am urging you,

come to my home tonight
at eight o'clock.

[music]

I have arranged your journey

so that you'll be arriving
on a Saturday at noon

and returning the following
Wednesday evening

at nine o'clock.

This will give you over
four days in the future.

Your entry point will
be a remote alley

in the city where
I made my entry.

Norris, as I have said--

You must be at that
same point on Wednesday

by nine o'clock.

Norris, please, I have
come to reason with you.

This is a timing mechanism.

When it becomes nine PM
on Wednesday night,

it will activate the transporter
and bring you back.

This is how I traveled alone.

Dr. Anderson, if you please...

And I would not tell anyone
you are from the past.

It will only cause difficulties.

And do not try to look up
your own fate.

It is not for us to know.

Not for us to know?

I insist you stop this
nonsense right now

and we sit down together
and settle our differences.

Russell, your journey
into the future

will settle all
our differences.

Here, take this.

What is this?

Coins.

Coins?

Yes. You will need money
for food and clothing,

and also for an inn
in which to stay.

You can exchange those coins for
modern currency when you arrive.

You will simply not believe
the price of merchandise.

Fortunately for you,

these coins are worth a lot
of money where you are going.

Is this so?

This is a great opportunity
for you, Russell.

You must see,
with your own eyes,

where the teaching
of morals alone will lead.

Now, just stay right there.

Norris.

In case you're wondering,

the machine works by stored rays
and energy from the sun.

Bottled up and time-released,

it creates an
electrical disturbance

and acts as a transporter.

It is much more complex,

but we do not have time
to discuss it now.

You have a journey to take.

Norris, this silliness
has gone far enough.

I wish I could go with
you on your journey,

but I have yet
to calculate a way

to transport two travelers
simultaneously.

But rest assured,
I will keep trying.

I am about to leave.

Yes, my friend.
You are.

Now....observe.

One more piece
of instruction.

While I was in the future,

I received helpful information
from a Christian woman

who works as a librarian
at the university library.

Her name is Michelle Bain.

She knows who I am,
but not where I am from.

Try to speak with her
if you can.

Michelle Bain.

[music]

Norris, what is happening?!

REMEMBER!

WEDNESDAY NIGHT,
NINE O'CLOCK IN THE ALLEY!!

[music]

Norris!

[music]

...Norris!

[music]

Norris...Norris...Norris!

Oh, my...

[music]

October 21st,
Two thousand and -

This cannot be.

[music]

So, uh, where did you get
these old coins?

A...colleague gave them
to me.

Well, they're beauties.

They are?

Yeah, they actually look
like they're...new.

Leo?

Give me a second here...

I'm afraid we
can only give you,

uh, this much for them, Mr...

Carlisle.

Carlisle.

Is this, uh, acceptable?

There must be
some mistake.

This amount?

Um, well, yes.

Very kind of you sir.

Um, Good, well, uh...

We'll just get the money for you
and you can be on your way.

Thank you sir.

And thank you for treating me

in such a fair
and Christian manner.

Sure...

Here you go Mr. Carlisle,
right this way.

Thank you.

Your key sir.

Key?

I trust you'll find these
accommodations acceptable.

Oh, they are quite nice.

Thank you very much.

And keep in mind your television
features a satellite hook up

with over one hundred
and fifty channels

for your viewing pleasure.

Television?

Plus you can receive
over one hundred radio stations

through the TV.

All digital, of course.

Digital?

And we have an
additional terminal

right here next to the phone
if you need to go online.

On Line?

Of course you can also
connect through the TV

using this remote.

Remote?

Are you okay, sir?

Oh, yes...very well,
thank you.

Well, if there's nothing
else I can do for you...

Nothing else, whatsoever,
you've been most helpful.

Thank you.

So everything is satisfactory?

Most satisfactory, thank you.

Because if there is
anything you need...

Oh, I'm so sorry, thank you so
much for you hospitality, sir.

You've been most kind.

Thank you.

Must have come in
on a long trip, huh?

One could say that.

Suffering from a bit
of jet lag I bet.

Enjoy your stay.

Jet, lag?

[music]

Well, it's about time...

[music]

well it's about,
'bout, 'bout time...

[music]

It's about time...

[music]

C'mon...

[music]

Well, it's about time...

[music]

Well, it's about time...

[music]

Excuse me, sir.

What is this device
on your head?

This?

Yes.

This is a radio, man!

Where have you been?

Is someone
communicating with you?

SHH!
Bottom of the eighth.

Two men on.

Bottom of the eighth?

Yeah, the ball game.

Baseball!

What do ya need?

Please allow me
to introduce myself first,

I am Russell Carlisle.

And your name is?

Eddie.

Eddie?

Eddie Martinez.

Pleasure meeting you,
Mr. Martinez.

What do you need?

Change?

Change?

Yeah, for the machines.

No, um, actually, I was hoping

you could recommend a Bible
believing church nearby

where one might attend
a service tomorrow morning?

Church, huh?

Yes, to attend a service
tomorrow morning.

Well, here ya go.

Let your fingers
do the walking.

Let your fingers
do the walking?

I'm sorry,
I am not familiar with this.

It's the Yellow Pages, man,
everything you need from A to Z.

Oh my.

May I ask where
you attend church?

Oh, I ain't got no time
for no church.

No time for God's people?

We all need accountability and
encouragement from each other.

Hey, Eddie Martinez
is a good guy.

You ask anybody.

Yes, this is important.

We should all strive to be good
people towards our fellow man

but if one separates oneself

from a local fellowship
of believers,

it makes it difficult
to live for the Lord.

What are you man,
some kinda preacher?

No.

However, I am a
Professor at a Bible seminary.

Perhaps the two of us could
attend a service together?

Hey look,
I already told you,

I ain't got time
for no church.

Besides, I gotta work
here tomorrow.

Tomorrow?
On Sunday?

Well this should
be a day of rest

where we enjoy
fellowship with family,

friends and God's people --

Shh, quiet.

Bases are loaded.

Come on, Losalas,
strike him out.

Strike him out?

Yes!

Very nice to meet
you as well, Sam.

This is a beautiful sanctuary.

Very different from that
to which I am accustom.

Yeah, she's a beaut.

Only a couple years old.

This your first time here?

Yes, yes it is.

Yeah, it's a good place.

You'll like it here.

We've got plenty of activities
to keep us hopping.

Activities?

Oh, there's always
something going on.

Like tomorrow night,

our Sunday School Group's
gunna go catch a movie.

A movie?

I'm sorry I'm not
familiar with this.

Oh, we go almost
every Monday night.

It's bargain night,
half price.

You should come with us.

Be a good way to meet people
since you're new and all.

Yes, that's very
kind of you to include me.

Thank you,
I would like to join your group.

Great!

Meet us outside the church
entrance, about 6:30.

We'll take the church van.

A van...very well then.

Like I was saying, Tuesday
night is church wide visitation.

Visitation?

Yeah, every Tuesday night,
we go visit people

who are interested in learning
more about our church.

Not many people
have been showing up,

but it's there for those
who are dedicated.

I see.

Then, Wednesday night we
have supper and prayer service.

Food's not bad.

This week we have
a business meeting

to talk about the new
building project.

And Friday nights
I got church bowling league,

so I keep busy.

That's pretty busy indeed.

Well thank you,
you've been most kind.

No problem.

Hope to see you tomorrow.

Yes, I plan to...
...attend.

[Singing]
Holy, holy, holy

Lord God All Mighty

Early in the morning,
our song shall rise to Thee

The Word of God is our light,

our guide,
and our trusted friend.

The Bible says the word of God
is profitable for teaching,

doctrine, correction and
training in righteousness.

You can trust in this book
with your heart,

with your mind,
and with your soul.

[music]

Yes, I believe I'd like
to try a...hot, dog.

What do you want on it?

Sorry.

You want everything on it?

Is this customary?

What's that?

This will be fine.
Thank you.

How about a soda?

Soda?

Something to drink?

Um, tea?

Tea?

[music]

Young lady!

[music]

Young lady!

[music]

Young lady, young lady
you've just stolen my hot dog!

Why would you do
such a thing?

I was just playing
around mister.

Well I would be happy to
purchase one for your very own

if you are hungry
and in need of food.

Here, take your dog.

This is not a proper
thing you have done.

It is important that you
respect your elders

and that we be kind
to one another.

I said I was just
playing around.

It's no big deal.

Oh, but it is a very
important matter.

You do understand
that stealing is a sin?

Says who?

The Lord says.

[music]

Hi.

How may I help you?

Are you the proprietor
of this establishment?

The proprietor?

You mean the owner?

No, he's not here,
he's my father.

Uh, how may I help you?

I would like to
comment in regards

to those women garments
on display over there.

Well, I don't think
they'd look very good on you.

I beg your pardon?

Just kidding,
just a joke, mister.

I know, I know.

You know your wife
would look just great

in that outfit over there

and you wanna see if I can
work out a special deal?

I think we can
work something out.

I am not wishing to
purchase that garment, sir.

Huh?

I do not know how
this will be taken by you,

but I am sure that this manner
of dress arouses sinful passions

in the customers
as they walk by.

Sinful passions?

Yes, sinful passions
of promiscuity,

especially in the younger males.

We must be careful as
to the example we portray

to our young people.

For the goodness of all society.

Sir, I appreciate you
voicing your opinion

and I'll be sure to
let my father know.

And I wanna thank you...

But to be honest,

this is the first complaint
we've had like this.

Our customers, most of
them don't seem to mind

this sort of thing.

OK?

Hello again.

Hey, Preacher man got himself
some new threads, huh?

Threads?

Yeah.

You know, clothes,
rags, ropa.

Oh, yes.

And I see you still enjoy
listening to this device.

Oh yes I do,
especially when we win.

And we won yesterday.

Listen, I wanted to um...
is it Edward?

Huh?
Oh no, no, no.

It's just, just Eddie.

Just like it sounds.

Eddie, Ready Eddie, you know.

Alright then, Eddie.

I wanted to speak
with you again

about the importance
of attending a local church.

Oh, I go to church,
yeah...Christmas, Easter...

Yes, but we need
to attend church

more than two times a year
for spiritual growth.

Oh, well, you know,
at least I ain't never been

to the slammer.

Slammer?

Yeah, the Big House.

Jail.
Clink clink.

Man, and I thought
my English was bad.

But Eddie, we need
consistent Bible study

and fellowship if we are to
become mature spiritual men.

Shhhh.
Yeah!

Jesse Gonsaga just hit
a double with two men on.

We're up three to two!

Eddie, I am attempting
to talk to you

about your spiritual life.

Look, preacher man,
with all due respect.

I ain't no angel.

But I ain't never cheated
or lied or shot anybody.

Ask people.

Eddie Martinez is a good guy.

Yes, these are all
important virtues Eddie.

But it is important

that we do more than just
not offend each other--

Yeah! We got another run!

We're up four to two.

Yeah, you stick
around Preacher man,

you good luck.

(Norris) One more piece
of instruction.

While I was in the future,
I received helpful information

from a Christian woman
who works as a librarian

at the university library.

Her name is Michelle Bain.

She knows who I am,
but not where I am from.

Try to speak with
her if you can.

Michelle Bain.

How is Mr. Anderson?

I haven't seen him
in quite some time.

Very well.
Thank you.

Although I am curious as to
how you met our mutual friend.

Oh, well, he came
in here one day,

um, gosh, maybe six months ago.

He was doing some research

and I helped him find some
reference materials.

We started talking.

Very nice man.

He's a Bible professor,
but you know that.

Yes. I, too, am a professor.

Norris and I are colleagues.

Oh, well, how did his
experiment turn out?

Sorry?

His experiment.

He said he was part
of a science experiment

and couldn't tell me
where he was from

or what he was
really doing here.

Yes, the experiment.

I'm afraid Norris is still
making his observations

and has not yet made
public his findings.

Ah.

Well, he was very interested
in biblical matters.

I'm a Christian, too,
and he had a lot of questions

about the spiritual state
of the times.

So I tried to fill him
best I could.

Yes, like Norris I too,
am interested in these matters.

For example, yesterday
I attended a worship service

in a large church
on Main Street.

Um, I'm familiar with it.

Hopefully, you will not
find this offensive,

but by my observation

there seemed to be boredom
with the whole service;

with praise hymns,

hearing of God's
Word, everything.

Although, I did find the
teaching to be accurate.

Well, I, I can understand
your concern.

Personally, I think this is
an extremely critical time

for the church in so far as
evaluating our priorities--

(Secretary)
Sorry to interrupt Michelle.

You have a call on line 2.

The state office.

Thanks.

I'm sorry, Mr. Carlisle.

I'd love to chat with you more
but I've gotta take that call.

Why don't you come back
tomorrow, one o'clock.

That's when I have lunch.

We'll have time.

Thank you.

I look forward to it.

Good.

Um, may I ask, who is this?

My secretary.

Thank you.

Have a nice evening, sir.

Um, Pardon me,
my good man.

Could you recommend
a good place to get a meal?

A meal?

What are you looking for,
a burger joint?

A burger--

--'Cause there's a good one
right up the street there.

Yeah, I eat there all the time.

Yes, I believe I would
like to try it.

It's a fifties diner, you know,
a real throwback.

Fifties Diner?

You know, from the 50's.

Burgers, shakes, fries.

That kind of thing.

I'm sorry, I'm not
familiar with this.

You never seen a fifties diner?

What's wrong with you?

You been livin' in the 1890's
or somethin'?

Well, as a matter of fact,

to be perfectly
honest with you--

Oooo, baby, you are fine!

Hey look, I'll be off
in about an hour,

how about you and me get--

Pardon me sir,

you should not be talking to
this woman in this manner.

What would your wife say?

What wife?

I'm not married anymore.

Anymore?

Is she deceased?

Deceased?

You mean dead?

I wish she was, I wouldn't be
payin' all this alimony.

We're divorced.

Divorced.
Oh, I'm very sorry.

Sorry?

I'm happy,
except for the alimony.

She was drivin' me crazy.

People don't understand what I
went through with this woman.

I mean, dealin' with her moods
and her demands every day...

But, the Lord hates divorce.

Hey, don't be dumpin'
no guilt trip on me, alright?

One out of two marriages
get divorced these days,

it's not like I'm the only one.

Besides, it was her fault.

She was driving me crazy!

One out of two marriages
ends in divorce?

This is fifty percent.

[music]

What do ya have?

Evening, madam.

What do ya have?

Very well then.

Yes, I would like
this selection...

the number two, please.

NUMBER TWO!

Something to drink?

Something to drink?

...Tea?

TEA!

(GIRL 2)
Don't worry, we'll be fine.

(GIRL) I don't know,
are you sure?

(GIRL 2) Yes, I'm sure.

Would you trust me?

We're gunna have
the best time.

You already missed out
last weekend, really...

Look you don't know
how strict my parents are.

Seriously, what is the
worst thing that could happen?

Well, if I come home
with alcohol on my breath

my parents will kill me.

So stay at my house.

Your parents won't say
anything to you?

They'll be in bed way
before we get home,

they'll never know.

Don't worry, it'll be fine..

I don't know, are you sure?

Yes, I'm sure.

Would you just trust me?

We are going to have
the best time!

Okay.

Well, who's gunna
get the alcohol?

Tommy's older brother.

Young ladies, excuse me

but I could not help but
overhear your conversation

and I am shocked at
what you are saying.

I cannot believe you would
want to deceive your parents

in this manner.

And who are you mister?

And you are also speaking

of consuming strong
alcoholic drink

which should be forbidden,
especially for your age.

Right, and so who do you
think you are,

like our parents or something?

Certainly not,
but I am someone

who has a genuine concern
for your welfare,

and I am your elder.

We should always
conduct ourselves

with honesty and integrity.

Alright look, you know what,

I am sick and tired
of people telling me

what I can and cannot do.

It's not like
we're hurting anyone.

So why don't you
just chill out!

Let's go.

Perhaps you should be
the party to "chill out"...

...where's my tea?

[music]

Stop the movie!

YOU MUST STOP THIS MOVIE!!

The man on the screen just
blasphemed the name of the LORD!

There must be some mistake.

You must stop this movie!

THIS IS AN ABOMINATION!

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Mr. Carlisle, are you alright?

I...I still cannot comprehend

how they could allow a
player on the movie screen

to blaspheme the
name of the Lord.

It's not that big
a deal, Carlisle.

It's just a movie.

Yes, but to defame
the name of our Lord.

It was a moral film.

The guy went back
with his wife in the end.

Yes, but to speak so blatantly
against the name of Jesus.

Look, buddy.

There's a lot worse movies
we coulda gone to see.

Then perhaps it is better
not to attend at all

if this is the only selection.

This guy must be
one of those legalists

thinks all movies are sinful.

Pardon me?

Don't mind our husbands,
Mr. Carlisle.

They think they're comedians.

Yes, they're only joking.

So, where are you from?

I'm from here, originally.

Although, I have been living
away for quite some time now.

Where abouts?

A place I do not think
you are familiar with.

I will tell you this much,
it is in another time zone.

And what brings you
back here?

Actually, I am partaking
in an experiment.

You're a scientist?

No, no I am a Bible professor
by trade.

I teach science and the Bible
and also church history

at the Grace Bible Seminary.

Grace Bible Seminary?

Yes, it's located on the corner
of Spencer and Downey streets.

Grace Bible Seminary...
hmm, I'm not familiar with it.

No...you know, Ann teaches
science and chemistry

at the high school.

Yes, I'd love to have you
come talk to my class.

Oh, thank you,
but I prefer not.

Oh, you must.

The students would
really enjoy it.

I am only here
for a few more days

and I have no means of travel.

I'll be glad to pick you up.

And we can hear more
about your experiment.

I best not.

(Kate) Oh, the kids
would love it.

(Ann) Yeah, it'd be great
for them to have somebody

who's was really
in the field--

(Carlisle) Well,
I'm not really in that field--

(ANN) I'm sure
there's something

that you could share...

There's something strange
about that guy.

What do you mean?

That seminary he just
talked about,

over on Spencer and Downey,

there's no seminary there,
it's an industrial park.

Yeah, that's right...

Why would he say that?

I don't know.

Like to find out what his
little experiment is though...

Tell you what,

why don't you run him through
the computer tomorrow

down at the station,
see what you find out.

Just for fun.

Tom Sharp.

Hey, I think I found something
interesting on our new friend.

Oh really.

Yeah, I checked out
that Grace Bible Seminary

where he said he worked.

Oh yeah, the one located in the
middle of the industrial park?

Well, it seems there used to
be one in that exact location.

It moved across
the state in '51.

And there was
a Russell Carlisle

once employed there
as a professor.

No kidding.

There is one catch, though.

This Russell Carlisle's
been dead since '36.

1936?

1936.

Well it can't be
the same guy.

This isn't making any sense.

I know. It isn't.

What time is your wife
is picking up Carlisle

to go to school today?

Around 10:30 I think.

Pick me up at 10:20.

(GIRL) Can you tell us a
little more about the experiment

you're working on?

Well, not as of yet, for I am
still making observations.

Scientists are
supposed to observe

everything they can first,
then record their observations,

and then make public
their findings.

You need some help, man?

I'd be glad to skip school.

Not at present, but thank you
kindly for your offer.

May I ask if you are familiar
with the works of John Anderson?

John Anderson...I don't
believe I've heard of him.

He lived in the late 1800s.

Brilliant mind.

Published some
valuable information

on the art of science
and experimentation.

We'll have to locate
his material.

Yes, please do.

His discoveries are fascinating.

The best part about
Mr. Anderson's work

is how he relates
everything to the Bible.

Remember students,

if any scientific record
contradicts the Scriptures,

it is the scientific finding
that is in error.

The Scriptures are never wrong.

Mr. Carlisle...

God's Holy Word
is so trustworthy,

it is amazing how it has
recorded scientific fact

hundreds of years before
Science ever discovered them

and is proven accurate
100 percent, every time.

Mr. Carlisle.

The Holy Scripture, students,

is always your most reliable
science book.

MR. CARLISLE!

Yes?

Mr. Carlisle,
this is a public school.

You can't talk about
religion in class.

I was not talking
about religion.

I merely mentioned
the accuracy of the Bible.

This school has rules.

No religious views
expressed to the students.

No religion taught
to the students?

No!

Do you want me
to lose my job?

Lose your job?

Of course not,
this would be disastrous.

Well okay then.

I'm sorry this
has to end this way.

I'll just tell the students
you had to leave.

Thank you for coming.

This guy travels light.

Nothing in here either.

There's nothing in the drawers.

Hey Rex,
take a look at this.

What?
The Bible?

This note.

"Given to Russell in honor
of his high school graduation.

"Love, mother and father.

June 23, 1865."

1865?

And I just simply
mentioned the Bible.

I meant no harm by it.

And the teacher informed me

that she could lose
her job over the matter.

Well, our nation
is no longer built

on the biblical principles
set forth by our fore fathers.

We haven't been able
to study the Bible

in public school for years.

We've lost prayer in schools

since the Supreme Court
decision in what...1962?

Children not allowed
to pray in school?

How unthinkable.

Well, we're part of a society
that, for the most part,

lives without Christ
and His Word.

Oh my.

And what's worse,
people are beginning

to rely on their own goodness
to achieve salvation,

as if they could earn
their way to heaven

when it's a free gift
from God through Christ.

It's, it's just the sign
of the times.

This is wrong.

Last evening, something
very shocking occurred.

I attended a movie with a group
from the church.

And the person up on the screen
blasphemed the name of the Lord.

Unfortunately,
that happens all the time.

Oh, I know because I used to be
in the film industry.

As a player up there
on the screen?

As an actor? No.

No, I was as a booking agent
for a theatre chain.

I was making all kinds of money,
the whole package.

But I was miserable
inside...empty.

And then one day,
an old girlfriend of mine

came by the office
and we were talking.

And I told her how I felt,

and she told me that
she felt the same way

before she became a Christian.

That she accepted
Christ in her life

and committed to follow Him.

And she was so happy!

Oh, she also said that
her life had real meaning

now that she had Christ
at the center of it.

There was something about her,
something I wanted.

The peace, the joy...

So, I started
reading the Bible again.

I could remember
some of the Bible stories

from when I was a kid
in Sunday School.

And I always believed in God,

but I didn't have a clue
who Jesus Christ was.

Or that he had died for my sins.

It's a...it's a good
thing God is patient.

I finally asked
Jesus into my heart

and I've never looked back.

And then I met a godly man,
and married him,

and came to work at this library
18 years ago.

My husband and I never could
have our own children,

but this work here has been
a real ministry for me.

It's given me so
many opportunities

to talk to people about Christ.

Bravo, Mrs. Bain.

Oh...Well,
I say all of that

because when it comes
to the film industry,

I've been there and know
the powerful and influential

it is to society.

I believe that
secular entertainment

is one of the biggest
tools that Satan uses

to mislead people.

He, he desensitizes us
through it.

Murder, violence,
sexual immorality, you name it;

sin has slowly but surely
become acceptable to us,

because we see it all the time,

so it, it's no longer
shocking to us.

But, why were these
things ever allowed?

Well, frankly I think
that Satan's smarter

than we give him credit for.

And he's very deceptive.

When the movie industry
started back in the 30's,

it was moralistic
for the most part.

There was a censor board

that regulated what could
and could not be shown

on the screen.

And movie makers
were very careful

about what they
were portraying.

And that's when the
people didn't realize

that the devil won his
greatest victory.

His greatest victory?
How so?

Because he got the name
and the person of Jesus Christ

out of the movies.

I mean the morals
were there for awhile,

but the Lord Himself was not.

And as people became more
liberated with their views,

there seemed to be
less and less conviction.

Because there was
no absolute authority.

And that is why people can
curse the name of the Lord

and they don't even
think about it.

But how can these movie
makers so mock the Lord?

Do they not understand that He
is the one who has created them

and gives them
their every breath?

Mr. Carlisle,
it says in the Bible

that the fear of God is
the beginning of wisdom.

If people don't hold reverence
for the Lord,

what can we expect?

[music]

Excuse me, sir.

Is this where we meet
for the visitations?

This is the place.

The visitations,
where we speak with people

interested in knowing more
about the church and our Lord.

That's right, this is it.

Excuse me.

Okay people,
we're about to get started,

we have several names
here tonight--

Excuse me,
these are the volunteers?

Yeah, actually this is
a pretty good turnout.

You're welcome to join us.

Thank you.

Okay people, we have several
names so let's pass them around

and see if there's anybody
you know first...

Where is everyone?

This is Tom.

(Rex) You're working late.

Well, no later than you.

(Rex) Yeah, but I get overtime.

I hear you.
What's up?

(Rex) I don't know.

Carlisle published
some religious books

his seminary endorsed.

He had one called
"Science and the Bible,"

"Interpretation of Scripture,"
"The Changing Times,"

a couple of others.

There's also an article
that talked about

some of his colleagues
from the seminary.

There's a Dr. Wiseman,
Dr. Anderson,

a Dr. Henry--

Wait, wait, wait,
a Dr. Anderson?

Yeah, Dr. Norris Anderson.

My wife told me Carlisle
asked her if she had ever read

the writings of a
guy name Anderson

published in the late 1800's.

You know what it's beginning
to look like?

I think this guy might have
taken on the identity

of this Professor Carlisle.

Yeah, but what's
his agenda Rex?

I mean, why's he only here
for a couple more days?

And where's he going?

(Rex) I don't know.

I could pull him in
for some questioning.

No...you know what?

I just came up with something.

Okay, it says on this
visitation card

that this family
is real interested

in joining the church
so this one should be easy.

Just let me do all the talking.

Shall we pray first
before we enter?

Nah, no need to.

I mean we already prayed
back at the church, right?

(TV) And Bobby ran and ducked
just in time... Oh, Bobby...

...And the church has lots
of sports programs,

you know physical activities,
keep you in shape.

You know what they say, "The
body is the temple of the Lord"!

Right!

We've got church
volleyball teams,

basketball teams,
and softball.

Some of the guys wanna
start a church golf league

in the summer.

Jerry, you'd like that.

Oh, you're a golfer, Jer?

He loves to golf.

Well, there you go!

And we have great
programs for the kids.

Twice a year,
big trips like to Six Flags,

major league ball games--

Sorry, excuse me.

William, William please turn
the television down right now.

Thank you. Sorry.

Like I said, we've got great
programs for the kids.

Twice a year we have big trips
like to Six Flags,

major league ball games.

Two years ago, our high school
group went to Disney World.

William...I said NOW!

Sorry.

(GUY) --Now on
Wednesday nights

while the adults meet
in the worship center,

we have the kids get together,
sorta like a kids' club.

You know, they play games,
they sing songs.

There's lots of snacks
and refreshments for them.

With kids their own age,
their own age group.

(LADY PROSPECT)
That's great!

My son would love that.

He loves to play games...

Hello, William.

Hey.

Oh, my...Oh my my my!

What?

What is this couple doing?!

HEY! What are you
doing, mister?

I cannot fathom that this
young married couple

would kiss in front of a child!

What is becoming of them?

They're not married.

They're just actors
in a show.

Not married?

Come on, mister!
Get out of the way!

Everything alright, Carlisle?

[music]

Lord.

Forgive me, I was wrong.

I was wrong...

[music]

Sorry I'm late.

What's up?

I just ran into Carlisle.

Just now?

About an hour ago, downtown.

Really?

I trailed him for awhile,
he never saw me.

Okay, did you see
anything unusual?

No, not really.

He just went in and out
of a bunch of stores.

Did he buy anything?

Yeah, bought a book
at a Christian Bookstore,

but I didn't get
a good look at it.

Did you see him
talk to anybody,

approach anybody?

No, nobody in particular.

I tell you what, though,
this guy acts like

he's never seen
anything before.

I mean, he takes
the longest time

looking at the simplest things.

I can't figure out
what he's up to.

Did you set it up
with Pastor Burton?

Yes, he will be speaking
at the service tonight.

Good.

Maybe we'll get some more
insight as to what's going on.

You know what Rex?

I think it's time
we had a little talk

with Dr. Carlisle
before the service.

Hello again, I am here
to see Mrs. Bain.

Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Carlisle.

She unexpectedly had to go to
the state office this morning.

In fact, she won't be back
until Friday.

Oh. I see.

But she wanted me to tell you
that she enjoyed meeting you

and to give her best to Norris
and to have a safe journey.

And then, she has in brackets,
"wherever that may be".

She said you would understand.

Yes I do.

Please give Mrs. Bain
my kindest regards

and tell her that I enjoyed
meeting with her, as well.

And that it has been...
most educational.

She will know what I mean.

I'll tell her.

Thank you.
Good day.

Learn about the past.

What is this?

Ah, it's our microfiche
computer program.

Micro, fiche?

Microfiche.

It's a specially
programmed computer

where we have scanned in

all the old newspaper articles
in the city's history.

It's a great way for people
to discover the past.

Why it certainly would be.

Would it be too much to ask
for someone to assist me

in its usage, perhaps?

No, not at all.

I'll get Greg to help you.

Ok, here it is.

Grace Bible Seminary.

Is this what you want?

Yes, this is it!

Alright, so you scroll down
through the articles like this.

This is amazing.

Have you not ever seen
one of these before?

I mean, it works just like
a computer.

Just like a computer...
of course!

Stop!

That's Dr. Norris Anderson!

I know him!

What do you mean
"you know him"?

It says right here this
guy was born in 1819...

That means he'd be dead.

I mean, I knew of him.

Brilliant Bible Scholar
that he is...was.

Okay...you can search
for your names and subjects

by typing it in here.

Hit the return key,
and it does the rest for you.

Type in any name?

Right.

I think I have it.

Thank you so much
for your assistance.

Alright.

Look, you need anymore help,
you just ask.

I'll be around.

Thank you.

[music]

No, it is not
for us to know.

Oh, Mr. Carlisle.

Do you mind if we
have a word with you?

How may I assist you
gentlemen?

Well, we found out about
that little experiment

you're working on.

Is this so?

Yes, see Rex here does
all the background checks

for the city police.

Yes, and I did some
checking up on you.

May I ask what you
gentlemen have against me?

As I firmly believe you truly
do not know why I am here.

Well, maybe you could
enlighten us.

I'm afraid, Detective,
if I were to "enlighten" you,

you would never believe me.

Oh, come on, Carlisle,

why don't you tell us
what the big secret is?

I am not at liberty to disclose
my purpose for being here,

but I assure you it is
altogether harmless

and perfectly legal.

Well, we're gunna find out
what's going on.

You know that, don't you?

If you will
excuse me gentlemen.

Hey, Carlisle.

Does the date June 23, 1865
mean anything to you?

Or what about the names
of a Dr. Wiseman,

Dr. Henry, Dr. Anderson?

Those guys friends of yours?

[Singing Accapella] On Christ
the solid rock I stand,

all other ground
is sinking sand.

All other ground
is sinking sand.

Would you please be seated?

I want to thank you for coming
to our Wednesday night service.

It's great to see all of you.

As you know, we will be voting
on some important decisions

regarding our building
program tonight,

but, before we do so,
I first would like to introduce

a special visitor
with us this evening.

This gentleman
is a seminary professor

and is visiting us from afar,

and so I asked him to share a
few words with us this evening.

Afterwards, we will continue
with our business at hand.

So, will you please welcome
Dr. Russell Carlisle.

[applause]

Thank you, Pastor.

And good evening.

I must admit,
I was very surprised

when Pastor asked me
to speak with you.

I am not quite sure why I,
in particular,

was chosen for the occasion,

but I will see this as an
opportunity from our Lord

to share with you some matters

that have been
pressing on my heart.

Friends, I have been away
for quite sometime.

A very long time.

It would be truthful to say

that I have been living
as if in another culture.

A culture much simpler than the
one I have been observing here.

This is not to say
we do not have problems

where I have come from.

We do.

We know that all people
are born with a sinful nature

and that all of us like
sheep have gone astray

from the Lord our God.

AMEN.

However, let me say
that the lifestyle

I have been observing here
these past few days

has been, at the very
least, startling.

In the third chapter of Paul's
second letter to Timothy,

Paul warns us
about the last days.

In verses one through five,
the Scriptures say

that in the last days
men will be selfish, proud,

without natural affection
for one another, unthankful,

unholy, lovers of pleasure
more than lovers of God.

The list goes on.

From what I have seen, the state
that this society is now in,

reminds me of the days of Noah
just prior to entering the arc.

And of Lot,
and Sodom and Gomorrah.

Sin appears to be as blatant
and as open now as it was then.

Surely these must be the last
days that Paul is referring to,

and the second coming of our
Lord Jesus Christ is imminent.

Please do not
misunderstand me, friends.

I am not setting myself
on a higher moral position

than anyone else here tonight.

I, too, have failed my Lord
in many ways.

In fact,
I feel partly to blame.

In these last few days I have
come to realize how wrong I was

in thinking that we
could reform society

through the teachings
of the Lord,

without the Lord
of the teachings.

The Lord God,
who created all things,

appears to have been eliminated
from your schools,

your government, businesses.

Attacked in the arts,
and in your entertainment.

And through these amazing
inventions of the radio,

television, and the movies,

the devil has mightily planted
sinful thoughts and ideas,

and alternatives in
the minds of the people.

So much so that Jesus Christ,
and what He did,

and what He stands for,
and who He is...has been lost.

My friends,
I urge you this evening,

as I have personally done
this past week,

to first reconsider your
own relationship with God

through Christ.

Please be abundantly clear

that you have truly
submitted yourself to Jesus

and received Him into your life

as your personal
Lord and Saviour.

We know that Jesus will not save
any man He cannot command.

And, if you are playing
a game of pretend

with the Lord tonight,
if you know deep in your heart

you have never truly
submitted to Him,

or if you're unsure
of your standing with Christ,

now is the time to make
yourself right with God

by calling out to Christ.

Jesus died for our sins
and to save our souls

from the eternal suffering
that is to come.

One final judgement
will come upon mankind

and all those who do not come
under the covering of Christ.

And of the Christians
present here this evening,

let us take this time to renew
our purpose and commitment

to be a people who
shall live for Christ

and to tell others of His
enduring act of love.

I apologize for speaking
so soberly this evening,

but these are the things
that are in my heart

and I'm afraid will remain
with me for a long, long time.

The truth is, is that all
of us will live forever.

And we will either
spend eternity

in the presence of our Lord
or in a place of darkness

the Bible calls
the Lake of Fire.

If you have not,

please give your life
to Jesus Christ right now.

Your eternity will depend on it.

I have said enough.

Pastor?

Well, uh, thank you,
Dr. Carlisle.

I'm sure that we will take
what you've said to heart.

Alright, then.

As the men prepare to pass out
the voting materials,

um, why don't we all stand
together and sing another hymn.

How about "Amazing Grace," hmm?

[Singing Accapella]Amazing Grace,

how sweet the sound,
that saved a wretch like me.

I once was lost,
but now, am found.

Was blind, but now I see.

[music]

I am leaving you now, Eddie.

Okay, Preacher.

You take care.

I would like to leave
this fine suit with you.

That's really nice
of you, but, uh,

I don't think it's
gunna fit me.

You're a big hombre.

I know, Eddie.

I was hoping someone else
might have some use for it.

Oh.
Well yeah, yeah.

Eddie'll find somebody
who can use it.

I also brought you this.

A Bible, huh?

Yes, God's Holy Word.

That's alright, Preacher...

Hey, will you look at this?

It's in Spanish!

Please read it, Eddie.

Wow...yeah, I'll read it.

May I have your word, Eddie?

If Eddie Martinez tell you
he's gunna do something,

he's gunna do something.

Now I'm gunna read this.

I believe you, Eddie.

May the Lord speak to you.

Yeah, Preacher,
you're a good egg.

Via con Dios.

Eddie, there is something
I must tell you.

Jesus is coming back soon
to set up his earthly Kingdom.

The requirement, though,
to enter this Kingdom

is that we must be absolutely
perfect and without sin.

Well, that leaves me
out of that party.

No one is without sin,
Eddie, not one;

all of us face
eternal judgment,

and separation from God.

This is why we must
receive Jesus Christ

into our life as Lord.

He is the only one
who lived a perfect life

and thus became the
substitute for our sins.

For me too?

Yes, for you too.

He rose from the dead,
proving He was God

and He wants to save us
from the penalty of our sins

and give us eternal life.

But we must first individually
receive Him, Eddie.

This is what it means
to believe in Jesus.

Wow, you know, no one ever
quite explained it to me

like that before.

God wants us to be
reconciled to himself.

So much so that He gave
His only son to die for us.

It is all in this book, Eddie.

I pray that you will consider
what I am saying.

Yeah...

Good night, Eddie.

Hey Preacher.

Hey listen, I gotta
confess to you somethin'...

You know earlier
when I gave you my word

that I was gunna
read this book?

Well...I was lying.

But that was before.

Now I give you my word
from my heart,

that I'm gonna to read
this book.

God bless you Eddie.

[music]

Genesis.

En el placiblio...

[music]

Come on Norris!
Hurry!

Carlisle!

In a hurry to go somewhere?

Gentlemen,
do not come any closer.

You must leave
here immediately!

There's not much time!

Not much time for what?

I'm afraid I'm not
allowed to explain,

but you must leave immediately!

Look we've had enough of your
little secrets, Carlisle.

I want the truth
and I want it now!

Gentlemen, I highly advise you
to leave this area at once!

I'm taking you downtown
for some questioning

unless you tell us
what's going on right now.

I appreciate your
concern gentlemen,

but you must understand,
I have not hurt anyone,

nor do I intend to.

Now, please,
for your own safety--

We're not leaving, Carlisle.

But there is not much time!

You keep saying that.

Not much time for what?

For Jesus.

Jesus is coming.

Jesus is coming.

Yes. Yes, I believe
Jesus is coming,

and it's any moment now.

Don't you think you're
taking this a little too far?

Look, that's enough, Carlisle.

You're coming downtown.

No, you see gentlemen,

I am a messenger
sent from the Lord!

A messenger from the Lord?

Yes, and I have been sent to
warn you that Jesus is coming!

Look, Carlisle,
don't make us use force.

[music]

Gentlemen, as I have said,
Jesus is coming.

Look!!
It's TIME!!

[music]

I think we just missed
the Rapture.

Norris!
You're still here!!

Oh, thank the Lord!

Yes, my friend.

You've only been gone
for a few moments.

Norris, the future.

Oh my heavens,
where does one begin?

It is incredible!

But, sin abounds!

The Lord is not feared.

Morals have replaced Christ,
and with liberal teachings.

The families are in disarray,
no authority, no respect.

The world lives without Jesus

while the Church
seems to be filled

with professing Christians

who do not follow the Lord
they claim they believe.

Yes, it appeared
to be this way.

I was wrong in my thinking.

Very wrong, Norris.

To separate the authority
of Jesus from His teachings

is, indeed, deadly.

As I have just witnessed
the end result.

Yes, it would lead
many astray.

I am so sorry I doubted you,
my friend.

It took great courage
to do what you did

and I am forever grateful.

Remember Russell,
I had the advantage.

I had already seen the future.

This machine is...
truly amazing.

We have been given
a great privilege.

We must use it for good.

Yes, indeed.

Well, I have some crucial
re-writing to do, sir.

I understand.

Norris?

I believe I was witnessing
the last days.

Did you ever see how
far this machine

would send someone
into the future?

I figured traveling into
the future over a hundred years

would be about as much change
as we could endure.

But, to directly answer your
question, no, no I have not.

[chattering]

Please excuse my
tardiness, gentlemen.

Well, Dr. Carlisle,
nice of you to join us.

Dr. Butler.

Yes. We were beginning
to wonder.

Dr. Wiseman.

And my sincerest
apologies, Dean.

Dr. Carlisle.

Gentlemen, I have asked
for another meeting

as I would like you to please
read through revisions

I have made to the manuscript.

I've already informed
the publisher

that these changes
were necessary.

And I look forward
to meeting with you

at your earliest convenience.

Dr. Carlisle,
are these revisions

a result of your conversations
with Dr. Anderson?

This is the result of the Lord
opening my eyes a little more

to His glorious truth, sir.

Very well then.

We'll all review the changes
and call another meeting.

Thank you, sir.

And good day, gentlemen.

Good day...

Dr. Carlisle?

I notice you've changed
the title of your book to,

"Time Changer".

Yes, sir.

I believe that times
must change,

or time as we know it will end.

Good day gentlemen.

[music]

Roger?

Yes?

Please come here
for a moment.

I have a small gift for you.

A gift? For me?

Yes. Please come.

Here you are, your very
own marbles to play with.

Thank you sir.

We should also be
properly introduced.

I know your name is Roger,
and my name is Mr. Carlisle.

Nice to meet you,
Mr. Carlisle.

The pleasure is mine.

There is something else
I wanted to say to you, Roger.

Last week, when I scolded you
about stealing the marbles,

I told you that stealing
is wrong, and it is.

But, I neglected to tell you

the person who said
that stealing is wrong.

Jesus commands us
not to steal from each other.

Do you know who Jesus is?

Not exactly.

No one has ever explained
to you about Jesus

and what He did.

No sir.

Well then, I have some very
exciting news for you, Roger.

Jesus is our God.

He is the one who
has created us

and gives us life
and our every breath.

He came to this earth
almost 1900 years ago

for a very specific task.

He wants to enable us to live
forever with Him in Heaven--

[music]

(Carlisle's voice) Norris,
I believe I was witnessing

the last days...

Did you ever see how
far this machine

would send someone
into the future?

[music]
