There are more of course. Q talks about some specific movies, or how certain events are like a movie, but I have been pondering the question, what makes a good movie? I have been thinking about the events currently unfolding, and movies.
Movies contain many elements. Heroes, villains, action, tension, suspense, character arcs, gadgetry, symbolism, story, overcoming great odds, journeys, special effects, dialog, schemes.... etc. Why would we be told to, think movie? One thought I've had is we were being primed to expect a movie level of absurdity to manifest in reality. Like the absurdity of the old Bond villains, set on world destruction. I always found those characters so extreme as to be absurd, but now it seems reality contains more than Bond villian levels of absurdity. We were being told, yes, such evil is real. Such plans are on motion. Believe that you are in mortal danger, and the future of humanity is in question.
This has been pressed on me by the Holy Spirit: (Wuest Expanded Translation) (2 Timothy 3:1 Wuest) (1-5) This be constantly knowing, that in the last days difficult times will set in, for men shall be fond of themselves, fond of money, swaggerers, haughty, revilers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, implacable, slanderers, lacking self-control, savage, haters of that which is good, betrayers, headstrong, besotted with pride, fond of pleasure rather than having an affection for God, having a mere outward semblance of piety toward God but denying the power of the same. And these be constantly shunning.
This is what THEY are; it is not what any of us wish to become.
That said, the current government in seat in this time in the United States is:
and Paul says in Romans: (Romans 13:3-4 NAS77) For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same;
for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath upon the one who practices evil.
This is written to Christians, not the 'world' at large so that we must, for conscience sake, allow God's established government, that which is founded upon the Constitution, to be that vehicle of righteous judgment. We can't judge righteously and neither can our current civil courts, and so a strong judgment is to be rendered by military courts (the military is the only way).
If these trials are televised and so too the judgments rendered, it is not for "entertainment" it is so that this nation never again falls into a net set by the evil one to destroy us.

Thank you. I like that.
