Can't speak for the DVD, but I actually saw the movie at the theater for its schlock value -- it's horribly boring. It's also utterly failed as an evangelical piece, because its spiritual message is so mired in Bible code mumbo-jumbo that nothing makes a lick of sense. Curiously, there's a sequel in the works. A better piece of Christian-exploitation cinema would be Judgment with Corbin Bernsen, or maybe Left Behind with Boner's buddy Kirk Cameron. But as far Revelations-obsessed flicks go, you can't beat A Thief In The Night, which was the first of a series of "The Anti-Christ is Gonna Git YOU!" flicks made back in the '70s.
Here's a review of Judgment and one of Left Behind.

Some other movies of this type on DVD include this trilogy:
Revelation is the only one I've seen, it's better than Left Behind
(not saying much there).
I have the other 2 in my Netfilx list, if nothing else just for something driffrent.
Apocalypse (1998)
Army after army descends into the Valley of Armageddon in Central Israel. Millions of people suddenly vanish. It's a media event unlike any in history, and the entire world is glued to their television sets. At that very moment, a great charismatic leader arises and performs a miracle of astounding dimensions. Is he the long-awaited Messiah? The whole world is convinced he is.
Revelation (1999)
With Jeff Fahey, Nick Mancuso & Carol Alt.
Has a very strange storyline of the Anti-Christ using Virtual Reality
& computers to take over the world.
Tribulation (2000)
With Gary Busey, Margot Kidder, Nick Mancuso & Howie Mandel?
This sequel to "Revelation" stars Gary Busey in a role that parallels his own personal life and death experience. After a tragic accident, Tom Canboro (Gary Busey) awakens from a coma to find the mark of the beast everywhere. Or is it just a dream?
