Insights:
20th Century Fox's apocalyptic
film, The Day After Tomorrow, opened on Memorial Day
Weekend 2004. With its obvious references to global
warming, many thought the movie was Hollywood's political
statement against the environmental policies of the Bush
Administration. Scientists were quick to point out
that the "science" of the film was pure fiction and the
cataclysmic events impossible. That is because they
were looking through the lenses of science and man's reason.
There is another way to "see" the film and, perhaps in that
sense, it may truly be prophetic.
The Movie Outline
|
Warnings Unheeded |
The voice of the prophets
are silenced. |
| A Storm of
Global Proportions |
The likes of
which have not been seen in ten thousand years, and for
which the only model is prehistoric. |
|
Refuge Is Taken |
A group flees into a box
like the ark amidst an ocean of water and ice. |
| A Choice To
Be Made |
There are
those who listen to the voice of man's reason and leave
the ark. There are those who listen to the voice
of the son, who trusts in the word of his father,
creator of the storm's model.
One choice leads to death and the other to salvation. |
| A Remnant
Saved |
The son
pleads for people to listen to him, but only a remnant
believe him and stay. They keep the fire burning
by burning the books (tree) of knowledge and clinging to
the Word of God, The Bible. |
|
A Promise Kept |
The father keeps his promise
and comes for the son and those with him. |
|
Good News |
The word that there are
survivors is "good news". |
|
A Changed Reality |
The earth is cleansed. |
The message of the
movie?...... It is not global warming; it is salvation.
The prehistoric model is the Noaic Flood, God's judgment on
a sin sick world where only a remnant was saved in the box
like ark.
The storm that is to come?......
God's final judgment in which only a remnant will inherit
salvation, those who are within the Son, Christ Jesus.
The lessons of the Movie?.......
Don't let the fire go out.
Remain with the Son.
Guard the Bible.
Wait for the Father to come.
Finally, for those who are like
the Vice President in this film and scoff at such wild
ideas, ponder the time of release -- Memorial Day. Who
would have thought on Memorial Day 2001, when the movie
Pearl Harbor was released, that another "day of
infamy" was just around the bend?
Scripture:
II Peter 3:3-18
