- A young slave girl, Anna, is rescued and adopted by Christians in the 2nd century Smyrna and befriended by their aged bishop, Polycarp. As Anna is taught by Polycarp and her new family, she struggles to reconcile her beliefs with those of the Christians. When the Roman proconsul demands that all citizens worship Caesar to show their allegiance to Rome, Polycarp and the Christians must find the courage to stand for their faith against the growing threat of persecution. Anna is forced to come to grips with the truth and choose whom she is willing to live - and die - for.

"One cannot truly live until he knows what he's willing to die for." 😭
AMEN!!!!😅
This movie had me crying a lot of tears, I can see my loved ones in these characters. And the persecution ramping up world wide right now on believers. I pray always I can have the strength and courage and faith to live for Yeshua until my death.
I cried too. Tears of joy! Satan already lost and he knows it.
This man was and still is an unwavering testimony of strength and dedication to the one true faith.
Yes, what an amazing faith our fathers had through the persecutions of Rome.
I have a list of movies like this that I am promoting now in shorts
This video randomly appeared on My feed. I had never heard of Polycarp and his story. What an inspiration during times such as these.... And for the difficult times I'm having. God 🙏 is indeed my Lord and savior, who gave his only Son, Jesus Christ, for my sins, and Lord knows they are many. Yet I can feel his Power and Love and the many blessings I receive every day. Especially when I pray, I feel peace come to me and I know I will be with him in this life and beyond. Thank you God 🙏 for blessing me.AMEN
Amen!!
Yes, watched this twice now, praying dedicating myself asking that I be strong in times of. Persecution.
Powerful POWERFUL movie.
St. Polycarp of Smyrna is a Church Father and a Catholic Saint, much more than that he is a disciple of the apostle John.

You will my brother true love of Christ casts out all fear.Greater is he who is in me than he who's in this world. Gird up your loins and believe.Peace and Love Brother
An excellent film! I love how they portray the love between christians in community as family. Almost every word that comes out of Polycarp's mouth is from scripture. You can see the fear in the christians, and yet how they turn to God for strength and wisdom in the midst of their adversity. Five out of five stars.
Well said. Now comes a prayer of complete surrender using caps as emphasis to help others gain victory in GOD THROUGH THE PERSON OF JESUS CHRIST.
On a balcony of space STEPPED A PURE AND HOLY GOD. IN AWESOME SOLITUDE YOU STOOD ALONE. Not one faint star to give YOU light; just endless darkness, it was blackest night. But somehow in the darkness YOU COULD SEE.
YOU SAW mountains high and lofty, YOU SAW valleys lush and green. YOU SAW babbling brooks, and wildflowers grow, YOU EVEN HEARD a robin sing. Then through YOUR COMPASSION STANDING OUT THERE IN YOUR TOMORROW, YOU SAW forum's visitors, their families and friends. 🥰
YOU SAW them as sinners (missing the mark resulting in their weaknesses prevailing causing guilt of wrong doing) because there is no intrinsic righteousness in any of us due to Adam’s sin. YOU SAW them as they grew from a baby into adulthood due to YOUR HANDS OF MERCY. 🥰 YOU SAW them pursuing a career path for the purpose of obtaining the gains of the world not realizing that it is a loss compared to what YOU DID on the cross. YOU SAW them working long and laboring hard to receive the grace by justification even though YOU stated, "This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent."(John 6:29 KJV) YOU SAW the unwillingness to accept YOUR PLAN OF SALVATION THROUGH YOUR SON JESUS CHRIST. YOU SAW them living with the guilt of committing crimes to the heart. YOU SAW them enduring personal crisis. YOU SAW the weight of the burden on their hearts with each tribulation. YOU SAW them seeking comfort from the above mentioned topography, ONE OF THE MANY MARVELS YOUR PERFECT HANDS HAVE MADE. 👏👏👏 YOU SAW their worries about tomorrow.
If their hearts were a window that they could look through, oh the pains and scars they would see. What a cruel fate the skin gives as a mask to the inward pain. But the skin couldn’t cover THE SUFFERING YOUR ONE AND ONLY SON BORED on the cross as PAYMENT for all our sins because HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ALONE HAD THE MERIT TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR HOLINESS. Indeed, ONLY HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS IS SUFFICIENT TO SAVE us from this present evil world as evidenced by Mary's song of praise. "And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour." (Luke 1:46-47 KJV) Awesome thanks to YOUR GREAT PARDON for being easy on the heart. 🥰
They have seen a lot of crazy things done in YOUR NAME. For example, the father of lies futile attempts to make crooked the right ways of the LORD to turn people away from faith in the WORKS OF JESUS CHRIST ALONE. How can anyone bear the thought of his or her life story detracting from the GLORY AND HONOR KNOWN TO BELONG TO CHRIST ALONE? As a consequence, YOU ARE A MYSTERY OF GREAT MYSTERY to them. Despite this conviction, YOU ARE MINDFUL of them as evidenced by the fact that YOUR JUDGEMENT is not speedy, allowing them to pursue the desires of the flesh.
They are aware of hypocrisy in religious assemblies that like to be seen and heard. In addition, secular education teaches that there is no right and wrong, if GOD exists there is no way of relating to HIM, and moral standards shift according to the whims of fashion. Therefore, their minds are conditioned to question everything this world has to offer including “THY POWER THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE DISPLAYED.” They have accepted the heavy burden of dealing with the troubles of this life and seek to know another way, YOU THE GREAT COMFORTER TO ALL who did receive YOU as their personal SAVIOR. Still, YOU have shown them NEW MERCY every day with each thought they make and each breath they take.
Unfortunately, like the prodigal son, we are all guilty of wandering far from YOU LORD because the negative experiences of our lives tend to build roadblocks to the TRUTH. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them to identify the way, truth, and eternal life (that is YOU). Since to know and follow your SPIRIT is more exciting than any 007 movies, and YOU DELIGHT MAKING the ordinary into extraordinary. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST MAKE them understand that there is no way around YOUR TRUTH, and that there is something about YOUR NAME. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them defeat in their minds what is false in YOUR EYES.
LORD GUIDE their thoughts to know that the path of sin is hard on their hearts for the purpose of crying out to YOU to know the joy, peace of having the heavy burden LIFTED by THE GOD OF PEACE I AM, and ANCHOR their souls in THE HAVEN OF REST. In other words, LORD use the storms in their lives to get a hold of them to trust YOU and believe. In truth, YOU ARE THE JOY that seekest them through pain.
LORD HELP their fainting hearts to believe that YOU, who was slain on the cross over 2000 years ago has the POWER TO CHANGE lives today through the INSTANTANEOUS GREAT FAVOR from GOD to the house of Israel made known in believers by YOU to make YOUR NAME EVERLASTING. 🥰 For as the statue liberates the citizens so the cross liberates the soul. ONLY YOU can calm the trouble waters of the mind when one admits to wanting salvation from one’s sinful nature, JESUS IS LORD, and believes in the heart that GOD RAISED HIM from the dead TO LIFT the heavy burden of sin's guilt away from the heart in accordance to YOUR WORD found in Psalm 51:1-10 KJV. 👏👏👏👏👏👏 O, the wonder of it all to experience within the flesh the feeling of a tree being cut back/pruned in order for it to grow stronger and more beautiful after meditating on the words of said Psalm. 🥰🙌
LORD MAKE them know that ONLY YOUR HOLY SPIRIT, through the experience of a new birth within believers, can prevent the family circle from being broken because THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE YOU HAVE GRANTED means a chapter of their lives is decided. Creation sings the rebirth song for them yearly, through YOUR PROMISE of springtime, giving rise to the idea that by the mention of YOUR NAME flowers grow, and the desert blooms again. 🥰
LORD GUIDE their understanding of words to use to come into YOUR PRESENCE with an honest reverence of WHO YOU ARE to experience the beauty that time can't erase YOUR WISDOM resting on their faces. LORD STRENGTHEN their determination to never waiver in efforts to search for YOU because the wages of sin is too high for anyone to pay. Additionally, THE KING OF KINGS is needed in their hearts to learn how to expand their capacity to love for YOU are LOVE in any language. 🥰 Once they learn to speak it with boldness through YOUR WONDERFUL COUNSELING all the world will hear, and know that LOVE is the language of their hearts. So LORD, KEEP KNOCKING on their door until they let YOU in to know hardships and struggles will end with a GREAT CELEBRATION WITH YOU. 🥰🙌
If one believes faith cannot be forced, YOU WILL GIVE that individual over to the stubborn heart to follow own counsel which will surely fail him or her to the extent that the punishment will last forever found in Psalms 81 NIV. Given this, I pray that YOU WILL MAKE that person see that this feeling is wasted for a world in which we become strangers as we age, gives us thrills instead of peace, aims to solve a problem but creates another, and unrest surges with each passing generation. Shed some light into their broken hearts for YOU ARE THE GREAT JEHOVAH, THE GOD THAT HEALETH thee.
Lastly, LORD when they call on YOU in earnest prayer to come into their hearts to be born again (repentance manifesting itself in a changed life), I pray that YOU WILL GIVE them the blessed assurance of their salvation because nothing breaks YOUR HEART, or tears YOU apart like when they cry from the trials of the devil who comes to slander, falsely accuse, steal, kill & destroy. Only by drawing nearer to YOU LORD will put them on a path to a glorious one way trip winding upward to YOU where pain is not welcome because the heart will never break anymore. For ONLY YOU UNDERSTANDS our tears since YOU LOOK at the heart, while humans look at the flesh.
O LOVE that will not let them go. When they don't have the strength to try, and have cried all they can cry hear their hearts that need YOU more today than yesterday. Many thanks LORD for speaking TRUTH in our lives TO BLESS those who are not offended by THEE. LET YOUR WILL BE DONE because YOUR LOVE ALONE CONQUERS everything by WAITING for them to cease struggling, and finally surrender to YOUR EMBRACE to learn about YOUR LOVE AND PROMISE TO TAKE CARE of your children exquisitely. 🥰 Since... "at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore"... (Psalms 16:11 KJV), and the nail print for them to know YOU by answering the following question. How did CHRIST LOVE people into a relationship with HIM? 🥰
For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. Matt 16:25
What a lovely encouragement. Really shows how many trials had to be endured by our early brothers and sisters! May the Lord of peace be with all.
This also represents the shedding of the old You (old ways), and the rebirth, being "Born again" to follow the righteousness of God,a follower of Christ. The trials still continue today in the spiritual warfare of the modern world. Many blessings to whoever reads this message.
Stay close to Jesus, my brother's and sisters.may God send his grace to all.
The trials continue. The Bible says all who want to live a godly life, will be persecuted.
A prayer of complete surrender using caps as emphasis to communicate no matter what may come LIFE IS IN THE HANDS OF GOD THROUGH THE PERSON OF JESUS CHRIST.

As were it happened then we will experience this soon in our lifetime. Be ready my brothers and sisters in the MESSIAH CHRIST JESUS. Sooner than you think!
Yes. Contrary to what present day "prophets" are saying.
@Alvin Ochola Yes, I know. And only time will reveal who is true and who is false. Base everything on the written Word of God. Be strong in Him ~~ stand firm.
True Followers of Yeshua are the "Two Witneses" of Revelation 11, the two olive trees and lampstands. Never in all of Scripture were Elijiah, Moses or any other Prior Covenants' person called an olive tree or lampstand as true Followers are repeatedly.
As promised in Rev. 11, we will be fully protected from harmful persecution for the first 3 1/2 years of the 70th Week of Daniel. During that time, we will perform wonderous miracles in the power of the Holy Spirit testfying that Yeshua is King of all.
Maranatha!
Ýes, stay strong
Amen stand firm in the Faith my dearest brothers and sisters in Christ. Be strong in the Lord and in the Strength of His Might for we wrestle not against flesh and blood but principalities and powers and wickedness in high places. Put on the full Armour of God…Ephesians 6:10-18. God be with you all, see you all one day in the Kingdom of Heaven in Jesus’ Name Amen 🙏
This movie has to be the most beautiful and inspiring Christian movie I've ever watched, I didn't know until the end that part of it was a true story. This is a must-watch movie for all. It was so well done as it just pulls you in. Each character did a phenomenal job with their acting I watch Christian movies all of the time, but nothing I've ever seen could compare to this movie. Thank you for sharing this movie with us!
Yeah Polycarp was very real and well documented just as our Lord Jesus Christ was and is.
Saint Polycarp, Bishop of Smyrna, who was “fruitful in every good work” (Col. 1:10), was born in the first century, and lived in Smyrna in Asia Minor. He was orphaned at an early age, but at the direction of an angel, he was raised by the pious widow Kallista. After the death of his adoptive mother, Polycarp gave away his possessions and began to lead a chaste life, caring for the sick and the infirm. He was very fond of and close to Saint Bucolus, Bishop of Smyrna (February 6). He ordained Polycarp as deacon, entrusting to him to preach the Word of God in church. He also ordained him to the holy priesthood.
The holy Apostle John the Theologian was still alive at this time. Saint Polycarp was especially close to Saint John, and sometimes accompanied him on his apostolic journeys.
Shortly before his death, Saint Bucolus expressed his wish that Polycarp be made Bishop of Smyrna. When Saint Polycarp was consecrated as a bishop, the Lord Jesus Christ appeared to him. Saint Polycarp guided his flock with apostolic zeal, and he was also greatly loved by the clergy. Saint Ignatius the God-Bearer of Antioch (December 20) also had a high regard for him. Setting out for Rome where execution awaited him, he wrote to Saint Polycarp, “This age is in need of you if it is to reach God, just as pilots need winds, and as a storm-tossed sailor needs a port.”
The emperor Marcus Aurelius (161-180) came to the Roman throne and started up a most fierce persecution against Christians. The pagans demanded that the judge search for Saint Polycarp, “the father of all the Christians” and “the seducer of all Asia.”
During this time Saint Polycarp, at the persistent urging of his flock, stayed in a small village not far from Smyrna. When the soldiers came for him, he went out to them and invited them in to eat. He asked for time to pray, in order to prepare himself for martyrdom. His suffering and death are recorded in the “Epistle of the Christians of the Church of Smyrna to the Other Churches,” one of the most ancient memorials of Christian literature.
Having been brought to trial, Saint Polycarp firmly confessed his faith in Christ, and was condemned to be burned alive. The executioners wanted to nail him to a post, but he declared that God would give him the strength to endure the flames, so they could merely tie him with ropes. The flames encircled the saint but did not touch him, coming together over his head in the shape of a vault. Seeing that the fire did him no harm, the pagans stabbed him with a dagger. So much blood flowed from this wound that it extinguished the flames. The body of the hieromartyr Polycarp was then cremated. The Christians of Smyrna reverently gathered up what remained of his holy relics, and each year they celebrated the day of his martyrdom.
A story has been preserved about Saint Polycarp by his disciple, Saint Irenaeus of Lyons, which Eusebius cites in his ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY (V, 20):
“I was still very young when I saw you in Asia Minor at Polycarp’s,” writes Saint Irenaeus to his friend Florinus, “but I would still be able to point out the place where Blessed Polycarp sat and conversed, and be able to depict his walk, his mannerisms in life, his outward appearance, his speaking to people, his companionable wandering with John, and how he himself related, together with other eyewitnesses of the Lord, those things that he remembered from the words of others. He also told what he heard from them about the Lord, His teachings and miracles....
“Through the mercy of God to me, I then already listened attentively to Polycarp and wrote down his words, not on tablets, but in the depths of my heart. Therefore, I am able to bear witness before God, that if this blessed and apostolic Elder heard something similar to your fallacy, he would immediately stop up his ears and express his indignation with his usual phrase: ‘Good God! That Thou hast permitted me to be alive at such a time!’”
During his life the holy bishop wrote several Epistles to the flock and letters to various individuals. The only one that has survived to the present day is his Epistle to the Philippians which, Saint Jerome testifies, was read in the churches of Asia Minor at divine services. It was written by the saint in response to the request of the Philippians to send them some letters of the hieromartyr Ignatius (December 20) which Saint Polycarp had in his possession.
The composer H.I.F. Bibier (1644-1704) has written a Sonata “Scti Polycarpi” for eight trumpets in honor of the holy martyr.

I agree
In total agreement with you sister. My faith is enriched every time I watch it! Love the music, too
By far my favorite movie ever
I PRAISE YOU LORD WITH MY WHOLE HEART ❤ 😭❤ YOUR GOODNESS CANNOT BE MEASURED!
♥✞♥Ephesians 4:29-32
29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.♥✞♥✞♥
Amen!
Amen
Kuck kuck
Thank you Jesus for your grace and mercy! May we continue to serve you Lord until our time comes or you come to take us home. Maranatha! ❤️
😵💫😵💫🤪
Amen 🕊💙
Wow. This strengthens my resolve to follow Christ my LORD!!!
Knowing that you follow a GOD who would allow you to be mercilessly slaughtered gives you strength? 😳😳 I will never stop searching for the real TRUTH because I can’t believe that THIS is the truth. Where is the goodness and mercy in that? 😢
@@KellyBell1 That is because He showed me He has power that is able to raise me immortal from death as He did with Jesus and He promised that death could no longer have power over me. That is in His Word and I believe that. Polycarp did and that is a testimony to me. I have been shot in the head, shot at, nearly drowned, seen my wife die as I held her and saw how peaceful she had died even though she was experiencing an aneurysm that the doctors could not stop, and have survived cancer. There is really nothing to fear about death when you KNOW that that is not the end. And I could tell a lot more. But dying for the sake of Christ means a whole lot more. He died for us and in the Bible it tells us in 2 Timothy 2:12, If we endure, we will also reign with Him; If we deny Him, He also will deny us; Be blessed
May we "know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death." Beautiful. Not many things cause tears to fall from my eyes except when Christ triumphs through his faithful servants.
Well said. Now comes a prayer of complete surrender using caps as emphasis to encourage the disheartened and help the weak to carry on this journey with SWEET JESUS AT THE WHEEL because our contract with survival is brokered with sadness, fragility and anxiety.

In addition, secular education teaches that there is no right and wrong, if GOD exists there is no way of relating to HIM, and moral standards shift according to the whims of fashion. Therefore, their minds are conditioned to question everything this world has to offer including “THY POWER THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE DISPLAYED.” They have accepted the heavy burden of dealing with the troubles of this life and seek to know another way, YOU THE GREAT COMFORTER TO ALL who did receive YOU as their personal SAVIOR. Still, YOU have shown them NEW MERCY every day with each thought they make and each breath they take.
Unfortunately, like the prodigal son, we are all guilty of wandering far from YOU LORD because the negative experiences of our lives tend to build roadblocks to the TRUTH. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them to identify the way, truth, and eternal life (that is YOU). Since to know and follow your SPIRIT is more exciting than any 007 movies, and YOU DELIGHT MAKING the ordinary into extraordinary. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST MAKE them understand that there is no way around YOUR TRUTH, and that there is something about YOUR NAME. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them defeat in their minds what is false in YOUR EYES.
LORD GUIDE their thoughts to know that the path of sin is hard on their hearts for the purpose of crying out to YOU to know the joy, peace of having the heavy burden LIFTED by THE GOD OF PEACE I AM, and ANCHOR their souls in THE HAVEN OF REST. In other words, LORD use the storms in their lives to get a hold of them to trust YOU and believe. In truth, YOU ARE THE JOY that seekest them through pain.
LORD HELP their fainting hearts to believe that YOU, who was slain on the cross over 2000 years ago has the POWER TO CHANGE lives today through the INSTANTANEOUS GREAT FAVOR from GOD to the house of Israel made known in believers by YOU to make YOUR NAME EVERLASTING. 🥰 For as the statue liberates the citizens so the cross liberates the soul. ONLY YOU can calm the trouble waters of the mind when one admits to wanting salvation from one’s sinful nature, JESUS IS LORD, and believes in the heart that GOD RAISED HIM from the dead TO LIFT the heavy burden of sin's guilt away from the heart in accordance to YOUR WORD found in Psalm 51:1-10 KJV. 👏👏👏👏👏👏 O, the wonder of it all to experience within the flesh the feeling of a tree being cut back/pruned in order for it to grow stronger and more beautiful after meditating on the words of said Psalm. 🥰🙌
LORD MAKE them know that ONLY YOUR HOLY SPIRIT, through the experience of a new birth within believers, can prevent the family circle from being broken because THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE YOU HAVE GRANTED means a chapter of their lives is decided. Creation sings the rebirth song for them yearly, through YOUR PROMISE of springtime, giving rise to the idea that by the mention of YOUR NAME flowers grow, and the desert blooms again. 🥰
LORD GUIDE their understanding of words to use to come into YOUR PRESENCE with an honest reverence of WHO YOU ARE to experience the beauty that time can't erase YOUR WISDOM resting on their faces. LORD STRENGTHEN their determination to never waiver in efforts to search for YOU because the wages of sin is too high for anyone to pay. Additionally, THE KING OF KINGS is needed in their hearts to learn how to expand their capacity to love for YOU are LOVE in any language. 🥰 Once they learn to speak it with boldness through YOUR WONDERFUL COUNSELING all the world will hear, and know that LOVE is the language of their hearts. So LORD, KEEP KNOCKING on their door until they let YOU in to know hardships and struggles will end with a GREAT CELEBRATION WITH YOU. 🥰🙌
If one believes faith cannot be forced, YOU WILL GIVE that individual over to the stubborn heart to follow own counsel which will surely fail him or her to the extent that the punishment will last forever found in Psalms 81 NIV. Given this, I pray that YOU WILL MAKE that person see that this feeling is wasted for a world in which we become strangers as we age, gives us thrills instead of peace, aims to solve a problem but creates another, and unrest surges with each passing generation. Shed some light into their broken hearts for YOU ARE THE GREAT JEHOVAH, THE GOD THAT HEALETH thee.
Lastly, LORD when they call on YOU in earnest prayer to come into their hearts to be born again (repentance manifesting itself in a changed life), I pray that YOU WILL GIVE them the blessed assurance of their salvation because nothing breaks YOUR HEART, or tears YOU apart like when they cry from the trials of the devil who comes to slander, falsely accuse, steal, kill & destroy. Only by drawing nearer to YOU LORD will put them on a path to a glorious one way trip winding upward to YOU where pain is not welcome because the heart will never break anymore. For ONLY YOU UNDERSTANDS our tears since YOU LOOK at the heart, while humans look at the flesh.
O LOVE that will not let them go. When they don't have the strength to try, and have cried all they can cry hear their hearts that need YOU more today than yesterday. Many thanks LORD for speaking TRUTH in our lives TO BLESS those who are not offended by THEE. LET YOUR WILL BE DONE because YOUR LOVE ALONE CONQUERS everything by WAITING for them to cease struggling, and finally surrender to YOUR EMBRACE to learn about YOUR LOVE AND PROMISE TO TAKE CARE of your children exquisitely. 🥰 Since... "at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore"... (Psalms 16:11 KJV), and the nail print for them to know YOU by answering the following question. How did CHRIST LOVE people into a relationship with HIM? 🥰
A beautiful story of enduring faith I pray to Father God almighty that the holy Spirit of Jesus within me strengthens me in my faith to endure what may come my way amen
It's very good to watch this illustration of early Christians' life, and thank you for publishing it.
It was truly said that the blood of martyrs was the seed of Christianity.
Very good and the acting was above what we often get having said that, it’s the message of perseverance that is the key as we see the world slip into chaos we understand on a level that God has awakened in us.
What a wonderful movie didn't know about this man thoroughly enjoyed it we may experiencing this before we know it our world is so godless now praise be to God the father and his holy and blessed son Jesus christ
Very timely. Thank you Lord, for your ever present help.
Every example of such heroes of faith helps prepare us for the challenges ahead. Thank you for this gift to today’s Body of Christ. May we all take this to heart… for such a time as this.
Great movie with a timeless message and actually perfect for today’s time.
Every day believers are dying for faith we just don't always know about it. This is mt second watching very inspiring and thought provoking. One if best movies
My mom recommended this movie ❤🙏just started watching I had never even heard of Polycarp love that TH-cam has these movies free!!!
I almost cried watching this- The BTS Is amazing how the town was just some cardboard pieces or something,this Is one of the best movies to exsist!Wish there was more!!
I cried my eyes out at the end when they said that they were trying to burn him, and the Flames wouldn't touch him. And then the young man when he ran to the Lions.. I better be quiet somebody might read this before they watch it . but I cried my eyes out at the end when they said they had to run him through with a spear. God is so good and he loves us so much!
It wasn't almost for me.
If you knew that polycarp was one of johns followers.if you did give a thumbs up!!👍👍
🔥
I learned that at school
I just watched this and ohh my gosh, my heart is 💥💥 There were so many Christians who were willing to die to get the gospel out there. This is a must watch. A very beautiful Christian movie based on true events xx Thank you Jesus 🥰
😮
We christians must stand and say no to tyrany and trust Jesus with all our hearts...even before death... Bless all
Ahhhh great awesome movie I'm practically obsessed with the Church of The Orthodox Christians during the 2nd Century I've gotten very familiar with St. Ignatius St Polycarp and especially St Irenaeus great acting as well 👍👍
2nd century? Isn't that the great schism happened on 11th century?
That church is still around, it's called the Catholic Church.
@@mikejames303
And I can just as rightly say “And it’s called The Orthodox Church”…
But why the Orthodox Church?
There was no division of the East and West in Polycarp’s time. There hadn’t been a ‘first Ecumenical Council’ as yet either so there were Priests, Deacons and Bishops in different cities and Countries staying afloat during horrendous upheaval and extreme persecution.
They tried to kill John by boiling him in oil, that's how he ended up on Patmos because they tried a few different ways of killing him and God wouldn't allow it. Much love in Christ everybody ♥️ This is one of the best movies ever!
@Phunkkelll Jherfphe haha.. eyy research about Smith Wigglesworth, Lester Sumrall, Oral Roberts.. they would have died but by Gods mercy they live.
Martin Luther was supposed to be burned at the stake but God didn't allow it. However he felt guilty because of some friends he had were burned for their beliefs.
@@4251-k9v I love these great men of God ♥️
Do you have a source for that burning oil claim? I havn't heard that before
@@konstantinallinforchrist9867 I think this is a ridiculous claim as oil was very expensive in those days.
Absolutely beautiful movie. Was not familiar with Garry Nation, but what an excellent actor he is! I love the way he spoke the scriptures, like they were his own words.
Many thanks from Russia for this amazing movie!
Beautiful story and so inspirational. Praise God.
History will repeat itself. May we be as faithful
Beautifully done. Wonderful telling of the story of Poly Carp. Thank you.
Caesar was lifted up and Worshipped throughout the message of this movie,but when we understand life today man has turned further away from God,but he still has the same Love and Mercy on us today
Man has not turned away, USA is filled with faith
I can't stop watching this movie
First time watching but I did read about polycarp
Do you know where the part is where he describes eternity using water? Or do I have the wrong movie?
Let us boldly preach Christ in love in all circumstances we may face.
Thank you for sharing this
yes ty...wow comments....yet 9 years later as I preach in the streets to gangsta rappers amazing grace, and my Jewish people lawyers and more with Isaiah 53, and to all. I get attacked and threatened. Live for the glory of God, not the praise of others, when wrong is called right, live in the light. thanks for this share. and videos God Is Not Dead ..series.
May our Lord strengthen us as we face these times. How privileged we are to live in this time. May we never be ashamed, let not our enemies triumph over us, indeed those who wait upon the Lord will not be ashamed.
I pray the LORD help us and give us grace that when it's our time well not give up but but give our all to HIM who first gave HIS all for us thank you for this life strengthening movie
What a fantastic movie. Glory be to God, always. ❤✝️
What a nice movie and encouragement for those in the faith... Persecution will come that is a must..We pray for Grace when indeed we face it...Tears
Amen Thank you God 😢😢🙏🙏
Superb, Had never heard of Polycarp's role in the early Church. Left me teary eyed at the end.🥲
Thank you my Lord for your love and mercy is endless to those that believe in your Word which is truth and it’s faithfulness is forever. If we live and die for you we will live in you for ever. Awesome move as the message it has brought through to us…God bless
"One cannot TRULY LIVE, until he knows what he is WILLING to DIE FOR" - St. Polycarp. May ALL of us, who truly love & follow Our Blessed Lord Jesus Christ, be willing to DIE for our faith, if that is what He asks of us. May we each take comfort knowing that we will be with Him in Heaven, praising & glorifying His Holy Name forever & ever. Amen ✝ !!!!
I like that very much, thank you . May God bless us all...
"May we all stand firm in the end, for His glory." GLORIFIED GOD'S GLORY. 🙏❤
A blessed movie. I've loved and venerated St Polycarp since reading his story in the book Early Christian writings by Fr Andrew Louth. Glory be to God! 🙏✝️
yes blessed movie. wow comments....yet 9 years later as I preach in the streets to gangsta rappers amazing grace, and my Jewish people lawyers and more with Isaiah 53, and to all.

What a movie and what a faith! Why haven't I seen this movie before or may be the impact of the movie would not have been so much then as it is now as the world is heading towards destruction and times will come where we need to stay strong in our faith in the Lord. This movie is an inspiration. Thank you Jesus for your Love ❤️
An amazing film! True life account from both the Bible and a documented historical figure. Had me in tears at the end.
agreed
For "Us" to live, is Christ, and to die, is gain
What an inspiring movie. The Lord will give you courage to face anything that may come upon us , we just need to Believe . He will send strength and Hope for us !
I love these dearly Christians. I wish they were alive now. Their love of Jesus was so great as well as their love for one another. Pray for us dear ones of God. God is love.
They are alive now and with the Lord in glory.
A very moving movie, very well done & to see the joy polycarp had as he died gallantly for Christ , may we all find that joy !
I know the scene was not as good as other movies portrait but the actors and actress play the role so well and I know it's the power of Holy Spirit that touch my heart by this movie.
I did heard about polycarp but never hear his full story. I can't imagine how hard Christians have been through long time ago...
Lots of praise for this movie, but what are Christians prepared to suffer for their faith in the 21st century? I'm preaching to myself here.
Great movie, this is right around the corner for us. Pray you have that strength.
A beautiful movie
A wonderful genuine brother Polycarp was. What a blessing for godly men who trust in the one true living God.
Soon and very soon. Persecution happens to one of us, it happens to all. All who desire to live godly lives in Christ shall see this too. Persecution takes many forms from both within and outside the people in the church.
Romans 15:13 to all who are true believers
Wow…just wow 🙌🙌🙌
Talk about a powerful movie!!! I felt the Holy Spirit in that movie through and through!!! Praise King Jesus!!!!!!!!!!! And remember Saints; to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord!!!!!!!! Our True Prince of Peace...Christ Jesus!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've seen a number of faith based movies, however, that one touched my heart and spirit in a mighty way. Stay encouraged my brothers and sisters, we have the Victory in Christ Jesus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
True legacy of Love, Righteousness and Sacrifice.
Jesus Give me and those who follow you in truth the courage to fearlessly proclaim your name and bring GLORY that the Father in Heaven be glorified. Amen. Lead us in your way.
I cried. Blessed is Our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
This move is true. Symrna was the second church John wrote to as told by the Lord Jesus in Rev 2: 8-11. Polycarp was the bishop of that church, a church foretold by the Lord, would be severely persecuted and some would be thrown in jail for 10years. All literally happened and they were commended for their perseverance to the point of death. Read what God promised them - a crown of life. What a powerful testimony!!
Wonderful. Very inspiring.
I've watched alot of movies about the times of old in the Christian way of living & have to say "Bar None" this one is the best I've ever seen. I give the producers a 5 Star rating.
Agreed!
Love this Christian movie. We die only once for Christ. Non-Christian die twice. 💒
@Ann D
The second death is mentioned on multiple occasions in the book of Revelation and is synonymous with the lake of fire. It is a "death" in that it is a separation from God, the Giver of life. It is called the "second" one because it follows physical death.
Wonderful movie !!!!!!!!!!!
Blessings from Canada! Best movie ever! Going to post a bio on fb of Polycarp on February 23rd.
Beautiful
Thanks for another great movie Gbu
Thank you . What a great movie.
Saint Polycarp, pray for us. Amen.
Don’t pray to the saints, they are dead and cannot hear you because they are not God and not omnipresent and omniscient. Pray only to Jesus Christ or Father God.
@@bibleistruth9814 AMEN! Praise the Lord 🙏🏼 we worship the living God not the dead. HalleluYAH
Oh my God, catholics don't get it, do they? Imagin its pope and rome who killed many and they are here worshipping and asking man to intercede for her yet bible is clear only Jesus can interced for us. Does it mean they dont read the bible or whats their problem? God have mercy on them.
Divert that prayer and worship to God and to Jesus Christ alone
Men are not to be worshipped for men can die but God can never die.
Jesus Christ is our intercessor
He intercedes our prayers to the father.
Do not be miss guided but walk in the truth and in the light of our Lord and savior
@@venessa18 HalleluYAH sister 🙌🏻 praise King Jesus
Thank your faithful love for me oh Lord Jesus....
Polycarp was a Christian bishop in Smyrna and a personal disciple of the apostle John (John actually ordained him). He was burned at the stake at 86 years old in the year 155, and then stabbed when the fire failed to consume his body.
Some scholars actually believe the pastoral epistles - 1 & 2 Timothy, and epistle Titus were about Polycarp.
(I can't BELIEVE only 12,000 people liked this movie)!!
Thank you.
Wonderful Video So Uplifting And True In The Name Of The Real Jesus Of Nazareth He His The Only One Can Save Us From This Dark World 🙏🙏🙏

May we all have the faith of Jesus when our trials come.
Polycarp was a bishop of the Catholic Church and martyr.
Yes Polycarp was a bishop of the church, I mean of the church.
Such an excellent movie! It shows the struggles and beauty of following the Lord, no matter the circumstances!! It is truly a story of faith and trust in The only true God! I highly recommend this historically based movie. May strengthen you in your faith,, and to God, be the glory!

@@road2apples Hello, what does these verses connects to my comment? Did I comment something bad??
By the grace of God, we shall stand like St. Polycarp!
The "St." is an unnecessary title. Unless you want to call me St. John, St. Rex! 😄
According to the Bible, all Christians are saints.
@@FRN2013All who persevere to the end. Polycarp is an example for all Christians and that is exactly why he is called Saint. Because he is certainly with Christ, participating in His Glory, right now.
@@FRN2013all Christians who die and make it to heaven are saints.
@@FRN2013 You can't be a saint until you have died without sin.
The Bible uses the word "saint" as synonymous with Christian, believer, and disciple. Everyone who is born again is a saint.
Great production! Trusting in Jesus Christ may have a cost in this life, but it has a far greater reward in the age to come. The days are quickly changing, and as we move closer to the end of this age, may all Christians stand strong in the Lord and share the Good News of Jesus Christ with everyone in this lost and dying world. Amen. †
The true Church is the Catholic Church
Jesus Christ founder of the Catholic Church in the 1st century
@@shannjakeseciban7510 - Catholic in the universal sense of the word, which is the one true Church of Jesus Christ. The Church of Jesus Christ is composed of all spiritually born again [Christians] who receive the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. We are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Jesus Christ alone, to God's glory alone, as revealed in Scripture alone.
Romanism or Orthodoxy Catholicism is pseudo-Christian and rejects the true Gospel of Jesus Christ, as taught by the apostles. The true Gospel of Jesus Christ teaches no sacramentalism salvation, no works justification, no penance, no Mass, no Marian worship, no infant baptism, no confirmation, no relics, no indulgences, no idols, no purgatory, no magisterium, no special Romanist priesthood, no transubstantiation, and no Popery. Clearly, Catholicism teaches a different gospel, which means it's accursed by God, according to the inspired writings of the Apostle Paul.
We are not saved through personal works of righteousness, observance of special rituals, or religious obedience. Christians must be spiritually born again, which comes by repentance of sins and faith in Jesus Christ.

Oh King Jesus please don't banish us from Your Presence, or take away Your Holy Spirit from us, for we need Him to keep going forward on a firm footing. We are nothing without You Lord, grant us that boldness to speak and apply Your Word in everything we do or say, for the glory of Your name, Lord. We want to know more of You. Teach us to walk right with You🙏
