I
could not think
of a better way
to spend a
Saturday morning
than to veg out
on a good,
entertaining
sci-fi movie. I
have loved doing
that very thing
for over 50
years so why
stop now. I
loved movies
like
Forbidden Planet
with Robbie the
Robot and The
Day the Earth
Stood Still.
I had seen the
trailers and it
looked fast
paced and
exciting which
it turned out to
be but the
reaction to the
movie by the
critics (it was
panned) and the
general public
(it was #1 at
the box office)
as well by me
turned out to be
not what I was
expecting. I
guess that I
have matured
over the years
and now have
more
discernment.
With all the
talk nowadays of
science
fiction movies
like the
Race to Witch
Mountain
“acclimating
people to the
idea of alien
disclosure and
preparing us all
for the new
realities
dawning in the
21st
Century” and
“being a
wonderful way to
indoctrinate the
masses by being
a great piece of
propaganda”,
Knowing
seemed to
wrap up all
those
assumptions in
one apocalyptic
fireball. The
movie had
mysterious
Watchers (fallen
angels aka
extraterrestrial
beings) who
the writers
wanted to roar
like God did in
Job 37:4-5
when they
talked, but who
actually sounded
more like the
devil who prowls
about like a
roaring lion
seeking someone
to devourer
(1 Peter
5:8) and
their UFOs were
wheels within
wheels like the
Prophet Ezekiel
saw. These alien
Watchers wore
black suits but
were revealed
later to
masquerade as
angels of light
just like Satan
(2
Corinthians
11:14).
In spite of this
lame attempt at
biblical
imagery, the
theme of this
movie, in my
mind at least,
seemed more
centered around
the dichotomy
between
determinism and
randomness. And
even in this
area which
caused many
critics to pan
the movie
because God
forbid there be
any meaning to
the universe
lest anyone
judge, they
still got it
totally wrong.
A
review of this
movie which
appeared in the
Chicago
Tribune on
Friday, 3/20/09
by Christopher
Borelli
symbolizes this
distaste for the
movie by high
browed,
atheistic,
literary
critics. Borelli
wrote that the
movie had an
“evangelical
fervor of a
movie made
during W’s first
term.” He said
that it was a
“potent slice of
disaster porn
like the Left
Behind
movies and that
it dabbled in
faith and doubt
and had no
patience for
fence sitters.”
“It slipped off
of the tracks
into self
righteousness”,
Borelli
concluded by
saying that “if
you believe in
determinism then
we are all just
cogs in an
unraveling
cosmic joke.”
To show you the
ridiculousness
and narrow
minded bigotry
of men like
Borelli towards
anything
religious (i.e.
determinism),
let me briefly
explain that
this movie has
nothing to do
with the Bible
or the word of
God. This was
not a Christian
gospel message
but was entirely
an alien gospel
message. If you
want to call
this determinism
as well fine,
but please make
the distinction
between a God
centered
determinism and
an alien
centered one.
The only
evangelistic
fervor in this
movie was for
the alien
mindset and
maybe as well
for an alien
disclosure
before the
apocalypse.
In the movie, a
school fifty
years ago (1959)
wanted to put
children
drawings of the
future into a
time capsule to
be dug up in
2009. On of the
young children
goes into a
trance and
channels a long
list of numbers
onto a piece of
paper. She
appeared to be a
little peculiar
and ends up in a
closet bloodied
and was
obviously not
doing anything
of God. When the
capsule is dug
up in the
present, a MIT
astrophysicist’s
(Nicholas Cage)
son opens the
letter with all
the strange
numbers. The
father who is a
random type
cosmological
scientist
stumbles onto
the fact that
these numbers
are really
predictions of
disasters and
accidents both
past, present
and future which
rocks his world.
Also, his father
is a Pastor who
he has not
spoken to since
his wife
accidentally
died in her
sleep in a hotel
fire. Although
his father the
Pastor believes
that everything
including his
son’s wife’s
death happens
for a reason,
this does not
make this movie
religious
determinism.
First of all,
channeling or
divination of
information from
God only knows
where or from
whom, is not of
God. It is
witchcraft.
We find
out later that
it probably was
from these alien
Watcher gods who
are ultimately
trying to warn
all us
earthlings of
impending
apocalypse.
Remember, this
was not from God
but was from
what I would
call fallen
angels of Satan
so to set up
this straw man
of randomness
and knock him
down in the name
of (alien)
determinism is
nonsense at
best. Thus,
Borelli’s
critical review
about
“evangelical
furor” and “self
righteousness”
was misguided.
There was no God
or Christian
morality within
a million miles
of this movie so
to speak.
Cage, the
astrophysicist
discovers that
everyone on
earth will be
annihilated by a
mass solar
ejection in the
near future.
This sounds very
much like all
the hysteria
about 2012, when
according to the
Mayan Long
Calendar our
solar system
will intersect
the galactic
equator and will
coincide
according to
NASA with a
terrific solar
storm greater
than anything
ever before Cage
goes to the
isolated trailer
of this former
girl of 50 years
ago with his son
and her daughter
and
granddaughter to
learn more. He
finds a picture
of a sun with
the name of the
Prophet Ezekiel
underneath.
Maybe the
writers were
trying to refer
to:
“And when I
extinguish you I
will cover the
heavens and
darken the stars
I will cover the
sun with a
cloud”
(Ezekiel 32:7).
There were all
kinds of
religious
symbolism in
this syncretism
of alien
religion,
science and the
metaphysical.
They finally
find the safest
place on earth
from the
impending
apocalypse which
Cage has
verified will
indeed happen
with his
colleague friend
at MIT. His son
and the crazed
woman’s
granddaughter
are rescued by
alien Watchers
in UFOs which
are just like
Ezekiel’s wheels
within wheels (Ezekiel
10:10).
These two
children are
transported by
the alien
saviors to
another new
planet to begin
the human race
anew.
They run
through fields
which reminded
me of the
Elysian Fields
of the Greeks
which was the
final resting
place of the
blessed as
chosen by the
Greek gods and
ruled over by
Rhadamanthys.
As
the movie ends,
these supposed
Adam and Eve
wanabees move
towards a silver
tree which could
have been the
biblical Tree of
Life (Genesis
2:9) or the
mystical Tree of
Life of Kabbalah
symbolizing the
ten sephiroth or
kundalini energy
points or maybe
it was supposed
to be the Sacred
Tree of the
Mayans which was
symbolic of 2012
or the center of
the universe
revealed as the
solar system
passes through
the galactic
equator. Who
knows for sure
but it was
mystical at its
best.
Look, the word
of God speaks of
a time when the
earth will be
destroyed by
fire like so
many fear
happening in
2012 or in 2009
as n this movie.
“Heavens pass
away with a roar
and the elements
will be
destroyed with
intense heat and
the earth and
its works will
be burned up…and
the heavens will
be destroyed by
burning and the
elements will
melt with
intense heat.” (2
Peter 3:10, 12).
But unlike the
pseudo alien
gospel presented
in this movie it
will be a time
when
“According to
His (God)
promise, we are
looking for a
new heavens and
a new earth in
which
righteousness
dwells (2
Peter 3:13).
This gospel of
the Lord
promises
salvation to all
who repent and
believe not just
two small
children.
“But the Lord is
not slow about
His promises as
one counts
slowness but is
patient towards
you not wanting
any to perish
but for all to
come to
repentance”
(2Peter 3:9).
Thus, this
movie, despite
what the secular
critics say, is
not about the
difference
between a
determinist
(religion) model
of the universe
and a random
(scientific)
model. Unlike
what the movie
critic Borelli
alleged, it was
not evangelistic
and judgmental.
It compared
randomness with
an evolved alien
model which
surely was not
determined by
God. His was a
specious
argument. The
real question is
what this movie
has to do with
alien
disclosure. It
is telling us
that no matter
what happens to
the cosmos,
these
intelligent
Watcher gods
have our best
interests in
mind and will
save humanity
for a new
future.
These aliens
Watcher gods are
really fallen
angels
and roam
around like
Satan who is a
roaring lion
seeking someone
to devourer.
Sure, the
universe was not
random to the
writers of the
movie
Knowing
but it was
rather
determined but
it was
determined by
alien demonic
beings.
The only alien
disclosure that
this movie
alluded to is to
the reality of
an alien gospel
which will lead
you straight to
hell. As I have
stated many
times before,
UFOlogist Trevor
James Constable
had it right
when he wrote
that “the battle
with UFOs is not
for the planet
of man but for
the soul of
man.”
