The Prophecy, released in Europe as God's Army, is a 1995 American horror film starring Elias Koteas, Virginia Madsen, Christopher Walken, Eric Stoltz, and Viggo Mortensen. It was written and directed by Gregory Widen, and was followed by four sequel. The film tells the story of the Archangel Gabriel and his search for an evil soul on Earth, and a police detective who unknowingly becomes caught in the middle of an angelic war.

In the prologue, Thomas Daggett (Elias Koteas) is about to be ordained as a priest of the Roman Catholic Church, but he is stricken by horrific visions of angel at war with each other. Several years later, Thomas, having lost his faith and abandoned the church, is now a detective with the Los Angeles Police Department.

Two angels fall to Earth: one, Simon (Eric Stoltz), warns Thomas of coming events, before disappearing. The second, Uziel, tracks Simon down and attempts to kill him, but is killed himself. Investigating the scene of the disturbance, Thomas goes to Simon's apartment and finds an obituary for a recently-deceased Korean War veteran, Colonel Arnold Hawthorne, clipped from a newspaper in Chimney Rock, Arizona. More puzzling, Thomas finds a copy of a theology text that he himself wrote years ago.

In Chimney Rock, Simon (badly wounded after his fight with Uziel) finds war veteran's empty funeral and removes the soul from the body.
