Cultural references

Marcussen's National Sunday Law was in part the inspiration for the 2004 action movie, The 4th Beast: Mask of the Antichrist. Director Nathyn Masters, an alumnus of Chicago's Columbia College, recounts[6] how he desired to create an endtime Christian action film with a post-tribulation scenario as an alternative to such pre-tribulation films as Left Behind.[6]
