Tyler rules the world
I’ve seen every movie ever made… or one very much like it.
I posted last week a quote from Jordan’s worship series which observed that all western culture flowed from the church. I took my daughter on Saturday to see Cavalleria rusticana & Pagliacci at the Sydney Opera House. Christian (and Catholic) symbols abound, most notably the spilling of wine on a white table cloth as a challenge to a duel. The loser’s body was later laid on the same white cloth.
The final scene of the movie Fight Club (a film based on a book which is both ingenious and perverse) is more biblical than the author or producers might imagine. [Don't read the following if you haven't seen the film].
Tyler, newly united in one body by death, reconciled with his rescued bride, stands in the only skyscraper (mountain) safe from destruction (the bombs under this one have been defused in a bloody struggle). Holding hands, they watch from above (through glass/crystal) as the entire old world is destroyed – the financial records of all the major credit card companies. The debt history (read sins and genealogies) of the world is wiped, and an army of Tyler’s ‘average Joe’ disciples follow him into a new creation where everyone is equal. Sounds like AD70 to me.
The Bible is written into our subconscious.
(An added thought – the Bee Movie follows the pattern of the Hebrews from Egypt to Canaan. This stuff is written into us.)
