This morning before I finally start working on my 3d modelling again I had a free time to just rest in my room and watch movies. I was trying to find a good one when I came across Star Movies and Scary movie 4 is about to end, so I shuffle and shuffle again until the next movie came and the title is: “NOW YOU SEE ME” I became interested and landed the remote to my bed and watched. From the beginning I was already hooked. It was about magic tricks. Now I know why it was titled “now you see”, but then afterwards I got a lot more interested when the “EYE” was brought up. Most of you will know that it is related to the illuminati and to my further amazement the magicians came with a group name: “THE FOUR HORSEMEN”, which most of the people who already have read the book of revelations in the bible will know that there will be four horsemen in the end times that will lead the destruction; the beginning of destruction actually to a much worst destruction. I believe that this movie is not just a fictional concept of the script writer and director. It was an early message, the beginning.
In chapter 6 of the book of revelation the seven seal was mentioned and the first four was the four horsemen. It describes the events that is about to be unfold in the end times; the destruction that will be brought by the four horsemen. Revelations 6:1-8 1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. 2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. 3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. 4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. 5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine. 7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. 8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. One commentary explained that: "Who are the four horsemen of the apocalypse?" Answer:The four horsemen of the Apocalypse are described in Revelation chapter 6, verses 1-8. The four horsemen are symbolic descriptions of different events which will take place in the end times. The first horseman of the Apocalypse is mentioned inRevelation 6:2: “I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.” This first horseman likely refers to the Antichrist, who will be given authority and will conquer all who oppose him. The antichrist is the false imitator of the true Christ, who will also return on a white horse (Revelation 19:11-16). The second horseman of the Apocalypse appears inRevelation 6:4, “Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make men slay each other. To him was given a large sword.” The second horseman refers to terrible warfare that will break out in the end times. The third horseman is described inRevelation 6:5-6, “...and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, ‘A quart of wheat for a day's wages, and three quarts of barley for a day's wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!’” The third horseman of the Apocalypse refers to a great famine that will take place, likely as a result of the wars from the second horseman. The fourth horseman is mentioned inRevelation 6:8, “I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.” The fourth horseman of the Apocalypse is symbolic of death and devastation. It seems to be a combination of the previous horsemen. The fourth horseman of the Apocalypse will bring further warfare and terrible famines along with awful plagues and diseases. What is most amazing, or perhaps terrifying, is that the four horsemen of the Apocalypse are just “precursors” of even worse judgments that come later in the tribulation (Revelation chapters 8–9 and 16). I tried to get something from the plot of the storyline of the movie but it all says only what the audience wants to hear. The plot is very interesting that I will never forget that in the bridge scene the Alma character said: “that to be able to defeat them we just need to have a little faith. Faith moves mountains.” In the last run after scene she again reminds Mark Ruffalo to have faith. The magicians described magic as deception with very important elements. One of that is trust; they described the cruel world of deception that leads to different lies and crime. At the end of the story they framed a person that the main aim is to reveal the truth about magic, sounds familiar and later on they all joined the group “THE EYE”; with a warm welcome. I must tell you, the movie was great. It totally did its purpose. Full of deception, amazing magic tricks and interesting flow of story; but the very thing that really get me interested is what message they want to deliver? What are underneath the surface of those acts, of those tricks? What is the underlying truth and intention of the writers? Is it to bring awareness? Is it to give warning or is it a revelation? If you already have watched the movie and you did not see, well then maybe you should take a look again and this time maybe you should not be looking so closely because what you really need to see is what is happening in the background. One very interesting relation of the movie to the book of the revelations God revealed to me is: It’s interesting that in the book of revelations if you will pay attention carefully every time the seal is opened, the beast will ask: “Come and see!” So, NOW YOU SEE??? In my last morning in my mission trip in Isabela while doing my devotion and reading acts chapter 10 and came to this verse:
Acts 10:17 (NIV) While Peter was wondering about the meaning of the vision, the men sent by Cornelius found out where Simon’s house was and stopped at the gate. "I closed my eyes and asked God for a vision. As I closed my eyes I see nothing but darkness. Then I prayed and seek: God show me a vision. Then out of the darkness suddenly something came out of the ground its like a growing plant from the ground but its close and bowed down then it opened and I saw a pink flower, bright pink flower that blossoms from the dark and it is shining so bright. Then a bright light come going around the flower while it blossoms and grow bigger and it lighten up." When I opened my eyes with tears and joyful heart I thank God for All He have done. For all the things He allowed me to witness. For all the lives He allowed me to touch. For all the pain He allowed me to conquer and all the blessings He allowed me to enjoy while serving Him. Thank you Lord. I am certain of what is about to come. I will make sure that I will fulfil what you want me to do. I pray that you will give me the strength to sustain my light. "Habakkuk 2:2-4 2 And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. 3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. 4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith." |
