At
The Cinema
This
has been hanging around NetFlix for awhile, but I wasn't much into
watching yet another of the Bible end-time prophesies. Not that I
discount the possibility of their truth, but because I've seen so many
of them already. I accidentally clicked on it last
night—if you watch the beginning you'll understand why I
wasn't immediately alerted to what ticket I'd just punched,
When I did, it was too late; I was hooked. This is
quite different from anything you've seen
along this line before. I have only included the last 13 minute
wrap-up
in this clip (Hulu allows that bit of engineering).
Since it's Bible prophesy being looked at, it's impossible of course to
leave
Judaism and Christianity out of it. And Israel is central to
Biblical prophesy. What I hadn't put together before was how
central.
At one point, leading up to what
Christians call the Anti-Christ,
a world leader who will unify the
world with the promise of making everything okay again, it's
noted that
Islam is waiting for the Mahdi; Buddhist the 5th Buddha, and even
hippies, who worship lines in the sand, have someone which name I
forget. So there's room for everyone. I'm telling you this to maybe
overcome a reluctance you
may
have to watch anything with religious overtones.
A blood curdling-for-me moment is when Obama is shown prattling
on about "what God wants." Reading my mind, one of the commenters
says, Obama
was the first person to come to my mind, but since the (Anti-Christ)
will
be at first viewed as being full of wisdom and widely accepted; that's
not possible. Or to that effect.
Another interesting point is the prophesy that all people will be
marked on their head and right hand with the mark of the beast.
Not to
have that mark means you die. Chip implants, anyone? But
what set me back on my heels was this question. The
Bible specifically says the mark will be on the Right Hand. To what group
would this have special significance? (Who wipes there arses
with the left hand? )
You can watch it in fill
on Hulu
(with advertising interruptions every 10 minutes) or on
Netflix.
For what it's worth. If you were meant to watch it, you will.

OK I'll bite. I was going to watch something anyway after I get done reloading a few more hundred rounds for my security blanket but, I'm doing so reluctantly.
ReplyDeleteFollowing the statement "a world leader who will unify the world..." you knew right then it wasn't obongo.
I'm a Buddhist, and this is the first time I've heard of a "fifth Buddha". (I like fifths, but of a different sort.) My sect isn't waiting for anyone.
ReplyDeleteWe return you now to your regular Christian broadcast...
he musta been talking about the 5th Day Buddhists who are always knocking on my door selling rice cakes??
ReplyDeleteFifth Buddha....

It might be an entertaining piece of fluff for a slow weekend, like "2012". Then I will need to locate an underutilized U.S. proxy server. Hulu is not viewable outside the U.S. and Dependencies.
ReplyDeletereminded me of this reading of Ezekiel 38-9. When one reads these chapters and not knowing the historical geography it is confusing. This makes it easy to understand and see how close we are.
ReplyDeleteAlso they talk about a fire that will burn for 7 years before they could go in to clean it up and it happens in the North of Israel.
When I heard that Israel was nervous about Syria. I thought, this would be the one thing that would unite the syrians, a war with Israel.
Don't be put off by the superfluous editing in 38, 39 gets better.

Fun stuff but that's not the "Last Days" most of us should be worried about.
ReplyDeleteI don't worry that this might be the "end times."
ReplyDeleteI worry that it's not.
Doug - I am now positive that we are twins separated st birth - except you got the brains and I say the rosary.
ReplyDeleteI've studied eschatology (the study of last things) on and off for 30 years. The common mistake is that everyone is so fixated on the anti-Christ they forget he is preceded by the False Prophet. Yet you hardly hear anyone speak of him. The common belief among evangelical Christians for over a thousand years being that the false prophet would be a pope. Even a 10th century RC prophet, who named every pope up to the one that just retired, indicates the next one will be that false prophet who paves the way for anti-Christ.
ReplyDeleteAll that being said a time of false peace is coming which will put folks off guard. "For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape." - 1 Thessalonians 5:3
