Comments

The frequent mentions of Mabus possibly refer to the writings of Nostradamus. Mabus is popularly considered to be the name of one of three supposed antichrists in the writings of Nostradamus. This is disputed by others, but nonetheless the name "Mabus" for the Antichrist remains tied to Nostradamus mythology.

• From 1:58, a prayer from the end of televangelist Jack Van Impe's 1990 video tape "A.D. 2000: The End?".

I am a sinner
All have sinned
You bore my sin
You shed your blood for me
To cleanse me
I receive you
And your shed blood
For the remission of my sins
Come into my heart
Save me now
Help me to be ready for your return

In your name, I pray this
