THE STORY OF GOD WITH MORGAN FREEMAN continues this Sunday, April 10, at 9/8c with APOCALYPSE. Host Freeman examines both the past and the future to determine what various faith traditions predict about the End of Days. His journey takes him to the desert, where he pores over the Dead Sea Scrolls, and to Rome to decode the enigmatic Mark of the Beast: 666. A meditative session with one of Buddhism's holiest men begins to realign Morgan's perspective - what if the apocalypse is not a planetary bloodbath, but rather a mental paradigm shift?
