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 ( see my The Upcoming Great Deception www.ufodigest.com/news/1206/deception.html) 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 (www.ufodigest.com/news/0408/burnup.html ). 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 in 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” (2 Peter 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 a portion of 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.”
