Dune (2021) Review

 


Dune has been an enigmatic disaster to adapt to the screen.  The desert “Game of Thrones” epic has been difficult to translate on the big screen, much like trying to harvest spice when a worm is nearby. 


I am going to forgo getting into the details of this rather complex story. What you need to know is there is a planet named Arrakis, on it spice which is made from the worms allow people to travel through space via hyperspace beings called engineers; there is an Emperor who selects one of the houses, or Baronages/ dukedoms to take control of the harvesting of spice. Intrigues lead to betrayals, violations of honor codes, and death. On Arrakis are bedouin people known as the Fremen who have been awaiting a messiah, a Mau’Dib, and a group of witches who have mind controlling powers called the Bene Gesserit have been breeding bloodlines to create their own messiah, Kwisatz Haderach, who they will control. That is a lot to digest, and for some reason its more arduous to understand than A Galaxy, Far, Far Away… or Boldly Going Where No sone Has Gone Before. 


This iteration of Dune is gorgeous. The cinematography is breathtaking, reminds me of a Ridley Scott film. But spiritually this is one of the most Satanic films I’ve ever seen (and I just saw Dracula 2000). 


The director of this new Dune adaptation, Denis Villeneuve, also made “Blade Runner 2045.” In Bladerunner 2045 the maker of Replicants looks like Jesus from The Jesus of Nazareth movie, he even quotes Scripture as he hurts and acts sadistic towards his creation; the aim of the director for the audience to draw parallels to Christ being sadistic. Well Denis Villeneuve  does it again here in Dune, where the Mother Superior Witch insists their witchcraft voice mind controlling powers is The Way, and their messiah they have waited for, for thousands of years, A parallel to how long people waited for Christ, is a Dune version  of Christianity?! (Crazy?!) Then we see Paul Atreides, who will be the Fremen messiah, is close to his mother, Jessica, almost in Madonna and Child way, and she has taught him the Voice power, again this word power to denote Word of God, but its taught by witches?! Then Paul has a fit in exile where he tells his mom “you made me a freak,” and his visions he makes clear will become a holy war in his name (Crusades) and the sense this scene gives and makes clear is Paul has been created into a messiah, manipulated, brainwashed, and the director’s hope is we consider this about Jesus. That Jesus was brainwashed into thinking he was God. Which is a lie, Jesus is the True God who has saved us. 


How much of this antichrist allegory is in the actual Herbert book I cannot say. But how evil this is, how insidious, how next level Satanic propaganda this is: the idea witches are keepers of the Way, when in Bible witches who converted to the Way got rid of their sorcery, “Many of those who believed in Christ now came and openly confessed what they had done. A number of them who had been practicing sorcery brought their incantation books and burned them at a public bonfire. The value of the books was several million dollars. So the message about the Lord spread widely and had a powerful effect” (Acts 19:18-20); that’s the real effect of the Gospel on witches, they give up dark powers.  The idea the messiah is just a brainwashed and manipulated pawn with precognitive powers, rather than the very Son of God who came to save us is a high level Luciferian lie. 


If the book reads this way, then Herbert was a Satanist. If not, this Antichrist director Denis Villeneuve has twisted the story to mock Christ and get people to question the Truth. In fact, Oscar Issacs being attached as Leto, Paul’s father, is telling. Most Christian brothers and sisters might feel the movie is safe because Isaacs played Joseph in “The Nativity Story,” or was in “The Choice,” which documents The Armenian Genocide. But there is another movie he is in where he serial killer in a desert, and around a fire he says, “Let's talk about the desert. Jesus came out here. The desert. Not this one. Another one. Kiln of religions, the desert. 

T.E. Lawrence said that. Look at where the world is because of solitary dudes, going mental in the desert. Jesus came out.” (Jack, Mojave, 2015). Interesting that Oscar Isaacs stars in Dune 2021 which is another film making a case that messiahs like Paul go nuts in desert believing they are redeemers. That Isaacs is in two movies making an attack on Jesus’ sanity directly and allegorically is telling. Its seems this actor wishes to emulate Jesus’ family, “ Then he went home, and the crowd gathered again, so that they could not even eat. And when his family heard it, they went out to seize him, for they were saying, “He is out of his mind.” (Mark 3:20-21). I hate to be Isaacs on judgement day, when our Lord Jesus Christ separates the sheep and the goats. 


I recommend you do not see Dune (2021). There is a demonic touch to this iteration, that wasn’t even in last adaptation. The goal of this antichrist director (Denis Villeneuve) is to make you see Christ as nuts, and in his other film, Bladerunner 2045 , that Christ is cruel. Beware, unbelief has power, it can be used by our unseen enemy to try and turn you away, “And then many will fall away from the faith, and betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures (keeps believing Jesus Christ is Son of God, God, and Savior) to the end will be saved.” (Matthew 24:10-13). Your soul is more important than seeing the CG sand worms of Arrakis, you going ot heaven is more important than seeing Harkonnen, and your relationship with Christ is more important than a crysknife. Amen.

Israel’s Conquest of Canaan: The Nephilim and Giants

  Christianity Today asserts that the conquest of Canaan can be a “stumbling block” for believers. This probably is because of a foolish idea of comparing it to a modern conquest happening in our world. The truth is that God had Israel conquer Canaan because it was ruled by evil giants, “We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.” (Numbers 13:33). These are Anakim or Nephilim, the children of angels and human women, “When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, the sons of God (angels) saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. Then the LORD said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. The...

Dispensationalism

John Nelson Darby (1800-1882) was a man who did two things, he took 70th week of the Book of Daniel and stretched out to the End Times, and he was the father of  Dispensationalism , a belief system that God dispenses different peoples with separate blessings and covenants. According to Darb'ys doctrine of Dispensationalism, God dispenses different covenants. There are total of seven dispensations that divide the history of man: I. Dispensation of Innocence (prior to the Fall, "Do not east of the Fruit of Good and Eve, Eden), II. Dispensation of Conscience ( You must assuage guilt and sin with blood sacrifices.) III. Dispensation of Human Government (Multiply and Subdue the world, example the Tower of Babel Gen 11:1-9, and Genesis 1:28). IV. Dispensation of the Promise (Dwell in Canaan, Jerusalem) V. Dispensation of the Law ("Obey the Law of Moses and the Prophets"). VI. Dispensation of Grace (The Church, Jesus Christ has come...

Jesus’ Name in Aramaic

There has been a trend to render Jesus’ name Hebrew, יֵשׁוּעַ , Yeshua. The problem is neither Christ nor his apostles, nor the Jews in 30-33 A.D. spoke Hebrew, they spoke Aramaic. A ramaic is the oldest language on earth and was the language Jesus spoke. In fact, the oldest Old Testament is the Septuagint a Greco translation around 132 B.C.E. (165 Years Before Christ)that was translated from Aramaic. The Masoretic Text, The Hebrew Old Testament most Bibles use, dates from 7th to 10th Century A.D. (Medieval Times).  This translation does not cross reference with the words of Christ in the New Testament which are Aramaic and Koine Greek.  If the Aramaic was what Jesus spoke, then by what name would have been called? Jesus’ name in Aramaic is Isho or Eesho, spelled ܝܫܘܥ . That is the name of our Lord in Aramaic! He would have heard his name in this dialect, “Hail Isho or Eesho!” as well as the Greek, Ἰ ησο ῦ ς , Iesous.  Aramaic is disappearing, only a few peop...
