In order to prepare for the imminent Second Coming—which Robertson believes will occur on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem according to biblical prophecy—he acquired METV (Middle East Television), a station then based in southern Lebanon that could broadcast into Israel. Straub was given marching orders to be ready to televise Christ’s return. CBN executives drew up a detailed plan to broadcast the event to every nation and in all languages. Straub wrote: “We even discussed how Jesus’ radiance might be too bright for the cameras and how we would have to make adjustments for that problem. Can you imagine telling Jesus, ‘Hey, Lord, please tone down your luminosity; we’re having a problem with contrast. You’re causing the picture to flare.’”

Dumb.

They should just get a bunch of big bright spotlights for fill lighting.

Glad to see they are planning for every contingency.

These things can be quite a logistical nightmare.

The hardest part of this television cast is going to be capturing the sound.   There is some speculation that angels will be singing and no one is real sure how that's going to come across.   Some people have suggested that music be piped in case the angelic singing causes some equipment overload.   Based on biblical references, angels singing seems to be loud enough for people to hear with clarity, but no one is sure how that's going to work with recording equipment.

I'm glad, though, he's giving us time to get our systems together.   I hope he gives us a good date soon and maybe have a couple of run throughs like they do with the Oscars.   This will be huge.
