The end of the world always interested me. My first apocalyptic image was Charlton Heston in “The Omega Man.” Due to a test vaccine, Dr. Robert Neville is the only survivor of a global war waged with biological weapons. Everyone has died except for a few hundred deformed, nocturnal people. They are sensitive to light and homicidally psychotic. They believe technology caused the war and Neville, as the last symbol of that world, must die. Neville, using bright electric lights and machinery, attempts to hold them at bay and restart the human race.
Since “The Omega Man,” hundreds of movies have depicted the End. The glut of these films depict an earthly remnant who kill to survive in the wake of whatever apocalyptic cataclysms destroyed mankind: a nuclear holocaust, an asteroid, a collapse in nature, a techno take-over, a global plague, an alien invasion, the Devil in a little boy named Damien, even a couple of fallen angels with attitudes - whatever people fear. The plot is always about avoiding the End or surviving when others do not survive.
Our culture is obsessed with the End. Shouldn’t Christians wisely take advantage of this preoccupation? Hollywood has. Numerous films deal with the end of life, as we know it, but they never quite end. They mutate from apocalyptic to post-apocalyptic themes, revealing only our fears and lack of genuine faith. I find this trend alarming because these movies propagate an end without God. An empty, godless world view that says man must save himself since there is no God who will ever intervene to save man.
The Book of Revelation tells us that God will end this evil age and rescue His own! Yet sadly, most Christians either ignore this book or make it into something it is not. Instead of learning God’s version, we watch the latest ‘apocalypse now’ or we accept our favorite TV preacher’s rundown on the End. Do we leave the End for others to explain because we think Revelation is impossible to understand - the eschatology of the Matrix more lucid?
Join me on a journey through the last book of the Bible, the Book of Revelation.
