Jack the Giant Slayer – Tales of the Nephilim?

Commentary & Analysis

L. A. Marzulli
The ancient war between humans and a race of giants is reignited when Jack, a young farmhand fighting for a kingdom and the love of a princess, opens a gateway between the two worlds.
“Fee, Fi, Fo, Fum–ask not whence the thunder comes,”
“For between heaven and earth, it’s a perilous place,
home to a fearsome giant race,
who hunger to conquer the mortals below,
waiting for the seeds of revenge to grow.”
The Wifey and I went and saw Jack the Giant Slayer last night and this is the subject of todays BLOG. While the movie has a PG 13 rating there is enough gore in it, as giants biting the heads off of humans, to warrant an R rating in my opinion. I went because I had seen the trailer and was intrigued by it. It’s also part of what I do.
Notice the lines of poetry above. I checked them against the original and it is not from the book. The lines have been re-written and this is the reason why I’m discussing it here.
We were sitting near a woman who was with her daughter. After the movie they asked Peggy and I if we liked it. We both nodded and I added, there’s more to the movie than what meets the eye!
The lines of the poem have been altered and now we hear: for between heaven and earth, it’s a perilous place.
As some of you who have read, The Cosmic Chess Match know, I believe what lies between heaven and earth is the second heaven, which is the dwelling place of the Fallen One. We also read in the review, … opens a gateway between two worlds.
Does this allude to the Fallen Ones coming to earth as we read about in Genesis 6? We are told in this passage that the offspring of Fallen Angels and the women of earth were giants!
The giants in the movie are cannibals and feast on the flesh and blood of humans, just like we read about in The Book of Enoch.
I may be reading too much into this and I would love to get a transcript as there was more in the opening scene that I am not able to find on-line.
In closing todays post: I would love to contact the writers of the script and ask a few questions, like who wrote the “new” poem we hear in the beginning of the movie and where did he or she draw the information from. As I replied to the women after the film, there may be more here than what meets the eye.

Awesome movie man could they run fast,I was wondering how long it would take Hollywood to dip into that story

According to Steve Quayle there is a giant underneath the Vatican that is fed live children. That is too strange to make up. It would not surprise me. There is so much going on that so many are clueless about. I’m all about speaking out these days. Time is short. Why regret for an eternity that you should have warned others more or shared the love of God more. Let’s go!

Hi LA!
re: ” I would love to contact the writers of the script and ask a few questions, like who wrote the “new” poem we hear in the beginning of the movie and where did he or she draw the information from. As I replied to the women after the film, there may be more here than what meets the eye.”
Reviewing Jack the Giant Slayer Screenwriters: https://www.google.com/search?q=jack+the+giant+slayer+movie+screenwriter&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&channel=fflb
It’s a toss up on who actually came up with the poem in the beginning of the movie.
My guess would be on Christopher McQuarrie because he has actual working knowledge of giants mentioned in the Bible. In lieu of college he took a job working as an assistant teacher at Christ Church Grammar School in Perth, Western Australia (source: Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_McQuarrie). He has a large filmography as a Screenwriter in: Public Access, NYPD Blue, The Usual Suspects, X-Men, The Wolverine, Mission Impossible, and Jack Reacher etc.
Mark Bomback, Screenwriter, has to his credits: The Nightcaller, Godsend, Constantine, Live Free Die Hard, Race to Witch Mountain, etc. His biography isn’t on the system to research.
Dan Studney appears to be a musician in this film. He probably wrote the musical score for it. He is listed in Reefer Madness for music.
and,
Darren Lemke, is listed as Screenwriter for Turbo; Shrek Forever After; Boogeyman
Screenstory: Jack the Giant Slayer; Director, Screenwriter: Lost
Scheduled to produce: Beasts of Burden; The Nutcracker and the Mouse King.
All of these people have a working in the supernatural through their writings but only Christopher McQuarrie has “assistant teacher at Christ Church Grammer School” for formal knowledge into the Bible and the second heaven principle.
That doesn’t negate the possibility of any of these screenwriters having actual working experience into the supernatural.
Very interesting.
Blessings,
Eric W. said
Like so many other things, I just don’t think these people woke up one morning and came up with all of this at random. We keep seeing this stuff. Giants. Nephilim.
Since the entertainment industry as a whole is being run by Satan for all intents and purposes it’s not hard to figure out what’s going on here. There’s no accidents or random anything.
Enjoyed the show with Doug Hamp last night.
The Zulli sounded like some voice rest was in order. Hope that’s all it was/is. Take it easy!
LookingUp said
Yep, the answers to those questions would be interesting. Plus, were they influenced by any of the material out there today about Nephilim? Why did they choose this particular time to produce it?
My initial responses as to whether there’s more than meets the eye here are:
1) Nephilim weren’t in the second heaven.
2) I don’t see how the dark side could be using this to lower the threshold of resistance like they have UFO’s. How could they ever portray these blood-thirsty giants as beneficial in any way – unless they figure out some way to convince people they only target Bible-believing, gun-loving, conservatives?
Thanks for the movie review. Think I’ll pass.

Yes, but the Fallen Ones are and they produced the Nephilim.

The bottom line is that none of us know as much as we think we do. Satan has used many ways to deceive man, right within their own churches, just like these movies attempt, possibly in ignorance, but maybe not. Just like the Catholics, and the Mormons, and most all of the man made dogma within the various churches. No matter what satan does to shake their faith in the times coming, if they hold fast to their understanding that Jesus Christ was their Sacrifice, and that His Work alone, no matter how hard they themselves work, is what saves them. He will bring them out of their error. I have always said that Jesus is the only Way…..not living peacefully, as you stated the other day. Works won’t hack it. It is very possible that there are things ahead of us, and movies like this will cause confusion in ways we don’t yet understand. If we keep our eyes on Christ, he will bring us through all of our error, except the error of not having Christ as our Savior. Many may be dissappointed that they were taught wrong by the men within their church gatherings, but somehow I doubt it when their belief in Jesus Christ has brought them through….inspite of all the other churches that told them otherwise. It is ALL Jesus Christ. The least here will be the best there. How dissappointed in some ways to find out that you will not receive the glory that man promised you, but that will fade very fast when you behold the Glory of God. Jesus knows that we are all foolish and lacking understanding….that is why He performed His Work, His Glorious Task.
LookingUp said
Right, I get that, LA. I’ve always wanted someone to do a movie based on Frank Peretti’s “This Present Darkness.”
Daniel Ellis said
LookingUp…I’ve always wanted to see that book made into a movie. Awesome book! I love Frank Peretti’s stuff.
Jimmy D. said
I agree Looking Up and Daniel. I believe Peretti did sell the movie rights to those books. But it would be so hard to produce a movie according to the books. I don’t know how it could be done. Anyone who has not read these books would have to read them first to see what they I am talking about. There are multiple characters engaged in battles going on at the same time, but in different realms.
The “Darkness” books were the first Christian fiction books I ever read. Soon after, I stumbled across this trilogy of books that were written by somebody named L.A. Marzulli.
Mariel Strauss said
This is all incomprehensible to me. I see so much evil around that I can’t imagine one more disaster, a recurrence of nephelim. But in labs everywhere, genetics experiments are going on. Foolishness to do that.
Genetic modification is not at a state where it can be done benignly. Mankind apparently CANNOT learn. Does this mean God wipes out most of the planet as he did with Noah’s generation. Maybe so. Very sad that we can’t get smart.
I read that Michelle Obama is promoting healthy eating again. Sounds like one really great idea to come from this administration. Maybe if people ate less saturated fat and sugar, their brains would work, and they would not “create” Nephelim. Go, Michelle.

Rose from Kentucky said
I thought it was very interesting that the “crown” that controlled the giants was eventually made into the crown of the king of England, part of the royal jewels displayed in the Tower of London.
The Tower sits in London, a city that was supposedly founded by two Giants:
Gog and Magog.
It’s one of those things that make you go hmmmmm…
lamarzulli said
Yes, I agree Rose. Very interesting.
letsburgeon said
L A you are not reading too much into this. Hollywood is a tool for the Fallen One to prepare mankind for his man the Anti-Christ and his NWO. After watching this film (which is filled with symbolic/metaphorical/allegorical/and subliminal messages regarding the Nephilim, Genesis 6, Revelation, etc) I saw the movie “Oz the great and Powerful”. In a nutshell the hidden message of this particular film is to prepare youth for the Anti-Christ. I could probably write a five page report on all the hidden messages in both films but suffice it to say, the Enemy is getting ready for The Lord Jesus to make His move(the Rapture). When that happens the Fallen One will need everything in place because he will only have 7 years( and maybe a few more beforehand) to accomplish his neferious plots and schemes. Needless to say our homecoming is getting closer then ever and to that I say “MARANATHA!!!!”😄
John Michael said
LA, I was hoping that you’d go see it and give us a review. In my opinion, the powers of the air are pretty much in control of the motion picture industry. As big as cedars, just like God said. In his autobiography, The Life of Honorable William F. Cody, Buffalo Bill told about the Pawnee Indians who said that giants were so big and swift that they could run down a buffalo and pick it up and tuck it under one arm.
Like Yeshua said, “For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah.” ie.Genesis 6
Maranatha
Pudding said
Well we are in short supply of buffaloes these day but we have plenty of N.Koreans.
Steve Mc said
Interesting that you should mention Buffalo Bill Cody, as he is the person who always comes to mind whenever I see a photo of LA………and thank you Pudding for that keen insight of yours, heh, heh,….although I’m not sure the N. Koreans would be all that appreciative.

And definitely NOT giants.

The main protagonist in “Jack” was a giant named “Fallon” – a play on words? I.e. Fallen One? At one point he falls into a lake of fire…..

Life said
Wow. I just found out that there is a bone from a swedish giant kept in a church today. It’s a piece of the giant’s head, and the skull bone is about 12 mm thick. That’s almost the double size of a normal skull bone. There are even modern photos of the bone on the net!
“http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bP23rdsQrng/T2Roi21PeVI/AAAAAAAAAGI/uYQfll3YzhM/s1600/IMGP2063.JPG”
“http://tannhauser3.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/kettil.jpg”
The giant who is thought to be connected to this bone was named Kettil Runske, and lived during the 11th century. He was grandfather to a line of medieval kings. This Kettil was also a sorcerer, who is said to have bound the famous sea monster “Storsjöodjuret” to the bottom of the Storsjö Lake by hammering magical runes on a stone nearby the lake.
This must clearly be more than just fantasy stories, as this man’s descendents were historical kings who are buried in prominent churches.
If the skull bone was almost double the size of a normal human, this man must have been at least as big as Goliath.
Think about it: Two pieces of his skull are still preserved! And it is confirmed by an osteolog that it is a human skull.
I must go there. Too bad it is about 300 kilometers to the place.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is playing down expectations for a Mideast peace breakthrough during his upcoming trip to Israel, telling American Jewish leaders that he won’t be carrying a “grand peace plan” when he arrives in the region later this month.
Obama, in an hourlong private meeting at the White House on Thursday, acknowledged that near-term prospects for peace are bleak, according to a person who attended the discussion. But the president said a deal with the Palestinians remains the only way for Israel to achieve long-term security.
Israel’s political climate makes the prospects for jumpstarting peace talks all the more unlikely during Obama’s trip. Elections in January weakened Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who since then has struggled to form a coalition government.
In his meeting Thursday, Obama said pursuing sweeping peace talks now would be premature, given that Israel is still working to form a new government. But he added that doesn’t preclude him from launching a peace effort in six months or a year, according to the person in attendance, who was not authorized to discuss the gathering publicly and requested anonymity.
Netanyahu recently asked Israeli President Shimon Peres for a two-week extension to build the coalition, putting his new deadline just ahead of Obama’s expected arrival in Israel.
The White House has not announced the dates for the president’s trip, although Israeli news media have reported he will arrive on March 20. Obama will also make stops in the West Bank town of Ramallah, and Jordan.
The president sought to restart peace talks in 2011, but the effort collapsed within weeks. Palestinians refuse to resume negotiations unless Israel stops building settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Netanyahu says talks should resume without any preconditions, and he has allowed stepped-up construction in the territories since the United Nations moved to recognize a de facto state of Palestine in November.
The White House did not put the meeting with Jewish leaders on the president’s public schedule. A White House official later said Obama sought input from the leaders on his trip and underscored that it would be an opportunity for him to speak directly to the Israeli people.
Marc Stanley, chairman of the National Jewish Democratic Council, was among those who attended Thursday’s meeting. He said Obama reiterated his “unshakeable support for Israel and explained that his upcoming trip will be focused on discussing with his Israeli counterparts the critical issues facing the Jewish state, including Iran, the peace process and Syria.”
In addition to his meetings with Netanyahu, Obama will hold talks with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. He told the Jewish leaders Thursday that he would emphasize to Abbas that peace remains possible, though very difficult given the current climate in the region.
While in Israel, Obama is also expected to note that Israelis live in an increasingly dangerous region, given the instability in Syria and the potential nuclear threat from Iran. He’ll likely reiterate that all options, including military force, remain on the table for the U.S. when it comes to dealing with Iran, while also touting the impact of strict economic sanctions.

Marlene said
Hi LA! I love coming on here and reading all there is. it keeps me informed. can you people keep me in prayer? im hurting real bad. emotional issues, extreme abuse in my past, huge rejection right now with family. everyone in my family has rejected me because, im saved. it hurts really bad, i have really no freinds, im alone most of the time, when my husband is at work. i dont have a good church to go to, i get ministered online with livestream services. right now, i feel like a big dark cloud is over me. its a struggle to have hope everyday. i try to be like david in the bible, and encourage myself in the Lord. but its not always easy, especially when you dont have any close freinds or anyone in a church to reach out and help. its a real lonely position to be in right now. thankyou for all you do, your ministry is pretty amazing.
claudiaishis said
I can understand where you are coming from Marlene. When all others seem to have forsaken you, that is often the time that God can draw closest to you. He has so much more to offer than all the humans combined. Lean totally on Him, and know that you are not alone. Sometimes this type of loneliness is another step in your refining, that God uses to share more with you. If we are so busy with human activities we often don’t have or take the time to really be alone with God and relish His company. There is a time coming when you will be surrounded and in touch with all Friends in Christ, when we are transformed. He showed me and it is awesome beyond words, and it is real. Look at those things around you that God made, and if you can, try to find someone who needs your help….even if it is one of his little creatures. Also keep in mind that satan is not happy that you are saved, and you may have to keep walking forward and not be distracted by his attempts to discourage you. Our life here on earth is sooooooo very short compared to etenity. We all love you, and for sure I will be praying for you to be able to feel God’s Arms around you. We are rather isolated here, and my husband is gone alot, but I have tons of God’s domestic creatures surrounding me and these beautiful woods with all His trees, and wild creatures: bugs, birds, deer, bear, cougars, squirrels, coyotes, skunks, possums…always something going on. Have you thought of setting up a bird feeder? There is real joy watching the birds enjoy the unexpected bounty from your hands. It reminds you of how God provides. You can imagine that He is looking upon you, just as you look upon those little birds through your window, that you have provided for.
amaezed said
Marlene, I agree with Claudia that God often uses times of isolation to draw us closer to Him. However, given some things you are saying, I would really like to have a one-on-one conversation with you. At the least, I’d like to encourage you that I have come out from a lot & what He’ll do for one – He’ll do for another.
Do you frequent a blog chat room where we might have a private word? If not, I could try to suggest one. I believe that I can offer you a “cup of cold water,” so to say. I hope you’ll get back to me. God bless you!
LookingUp said
I’m praying that the God of all comfort will make Himself known to you in a new, deep and powerful way, Marlene, and that He will lead you to passages in His Word that will minister His love and concern for you. Maranatha.
Marlene said
i am amazed at how wonderful the responses were. this just really uplifted me so much just now. thankyou! @Claudia, thats interesting you should say that. i just moved to the house im in right now little over a year ago, and im surrounded by woods. im isolated sort of..no one can build around us, all farm land and i feed the birds constantly, and deer in our back yard. hawks, eagles, etc. its beuatiful. but lonely. and sometimes i wonder if the lonliness will ever go away. i have a son, hes 32, im 49, he moved away to arizona, and doesnt speak to me much, i guess becuase im saved, and i have been asking God to save him. and was shown in a dream he would be. my mother was an intercessor in a church, she fell into depression, left the church moved away to florida with my youngest sister, who hates me and will not tell me where my mom is, i heard shes in a nursing home, and my family wont let me know where, this has had me heartsick for months, i can sleep or eat right. i cry just aobut every day, it hurts so bad, i have exhausted all efforts in finding her. for now, i cant deal with it no more, so i have to give it to god, whay other choice do i have, right?..so its been alot..im not trying to cry on anyones shoulder, i just need to talk about it, i need to get it out. i have no one else but my husband, and hes wonderful, but sometimes you just need someone else to listen.. @Amaezed, thankyou that would be great, i have a facebook account, if that helps? and @lookingup, i appreciate very much your kind words and praying for me. thankyou all so very much, it helps me just to let this out some.
Stonedragon said
Marlene, I firmly believe in prayer, and will pray for you. But on a here and now practical hands on level? I urge you to join a local craft type group. Knitting, needlepoint, rug hooking, crochet, needle felting- something like that. Something casual and low key, but active with a lot of ladies in it. Volunteer at your library, even. I’m alone a giant proportion of the time- but being an artist, I relish it. However, it lifts your spirits no end to work with your hands making things, and to be around happily engaged people. A hand-craft of some sort is neutral- conversation stays caring, but doesn’t often if ever stray into religious or political wrangling. Its just good company. It can help ease the pain of being estranged from your family. Once a week meeting with a group like that can be a Godsend.
Princesinha said
Hi Marlene, I will keep you in prayer. I’m kind of in the same boat right now–struggling with depression, loneliness, and many other issues–so I understand, at least a little bit, how you’re feeling. Hang in there. As Amaezed and Claudia said, God often uses our times of isolation and darkness to draw us to Himself. Sometimes He has to strip everything and everyone away from us in order to show us that only He can truly satisfy us. I’ve experienced this in my own life, as I’ve gone through some pretty dark periods, and He’s still wooing me as I continue to walk through painful and uncertain circumstances. I’ve called my own trials my “valley of Achor,” in reference to some verses in the book of Hosea (2:14-16). God continues to use my “valley” to draw me to Himself, and I know He wants to do the same for you in the midst of your struggles.
So I hope that encourages you. May the Lord fill you with His all-surpassing peace and comfort.
claudiaishis said
I wish we could all hold hands with you, Marlene. Someday we won’t have to deal with distance. Lots of love coming your way! Excellant advice too, especially about the craft type group. If you are located like I am you might be a bit isolated from things. I hope not. Subscribe to your local newspaper…even if it comes from a place an hour away. There may be some leads in there for group activities. I sympathize with you regarding your son. We moved here in hopes our son and his family would follow, but they are entrenched in the city life in California. Are there any dog clubs in your area? Dog ladies gathering to train their dogs in agility can be pretty fun and interesting, plus the bond that develops with your dog as you learn. I agree with you on your Mom. You do not have any power at this time, so give it to God and keep praying. Also, a local water color class or group would help you with your time. Sometimes you can also find Bible study groups that get together…that could offer some good fellowship. Do check out the local newspapers. You might want to think about a community college class also. Again, if you are as isolated as we are that could be rough. Nearest Walmart is a hour away. There are some online classes too. I am thinking about starting my little cowboy into agility…but it is so cold outside right now. Oh, yes, and finding somewhere, like another suggested, where you might volunteer, if gas money is not a problem, could be beneficial.
You take care….and we will keep you in our prayers, and your mother and son too.

Wow, some serious Christian love surrounding you Marlene and some super advice from the caring women on this blog. I will be praying for you as well. I’ll throw in some lovingly advice from a man’s perspective. In addition to keeping yourself busy and focusing on your relationship with God to lift your spirits, try and see the good that can come from suffering and rejection. I realise this tactic is not for everyone, but it can really put into perspective your situation and give you confidence that it isn’t all for nothing. Everytime someone demeans or insults me in context of my faith, i don’t shrink back, but I reveal my wounds to that person so that see their actions. And I don’t respond in anger, but I respond with perplexity about why they are treating me so bad when all I am doing is modeling my life after a loving kind man. It will be like you slugged them across the jaw and unless they are a total sociopath, they have to self evaluate their actions. It wounds their soul and you provide no further ammunition of animosity thus breaking the cycle.
Like it or not, your suffering plants the seeds of Christ into the rich soil of a burdened guilt stricken heart. Take heart… You are doing the Lord’s work.

Marlene said
thankyou all so very much for the outpouring of encouragement, you all gave to me. i didnt expect it all, thats for sure. i have been reading all your comments and meditating on the words you all shared with me. i appreciate it so very much. i sure dont mean to take away from what this blog is really about, and its not about me. i didnt intend on making myself sound like i have no life what so ever, i do get out. where i live, i have seen lots of UFO activity right outside my back window, in the sky. my husband and i will watch it, lights racing around, back and forth, and i think about what L.A teaches, and how he would most likely tell me, rebuke it first, ask questions later? i think..its crazy stuff to see. not long ago, my husband left on a hunting trip for a few days, all i could think of, is those black eyed kids, and i got super paranoid, hopeing i wouldnt have some strange enocunter at my door at nite. yikes! hes going to be teaching me to shoot a gun very soon. im great at archery, but a gun is more what i need out here where i live.

Really like the advice from Hopeful Watcher. When we are looking for the good in things we are more apt to learn whatever God is revealing. Also love the “revealing your wounds” response.

Coming at this from a physical perspective, you could have hypothyroidism. It is the most undiagnosed illness in America. I would wager a bet that the vast majority of people with “depression” actually have low thyroid output. I urge you to do some research on it and find a doctor who specializes in thyroids. Most doctors only test the T4 level, and the acceptable range for it is very broad. It’s worth any trouble it takes to find a good doctor.
I struggled with it for several years, was put on Paxil for depression, but kept sinking and sinking until I was hardly able to function. A friend referred me to her thyroid doctor, and it turned my life around. I’ve been SSRI-free for twelve years and feel good. I thank the Lord every day for leading me to the solution.

Praying for you also, Marlene. Just had a chance to read the blog and am in agreement with all the wonderful hearts here.
Hugs and blessings,

@lookingup, thankyou, but i have allready been tested for that, my thyroid is normal. been on paxil and lexapro, about ten years ago. i couldnt cope with the abusive relationship i was in, see, i made a huge mistake when i was 23, i met a guy in a bar, started living with him. for ten long years. i wasnt saved then. he almost killed me numerous times. it took alot of intercession for me to leave, my mother had everyone praying for me, i finally got out, with my life. i met the man im now married to (he loves the lord passionately) Praise God! and i was on those physco-tropic drugs, they screwed me up. i asked The lord to help me with it, that i wanted off of them, i wanted God to heal me, not be on drugs all my christian life, because to me, that didnt make sence. since Jesus came to set the captive free, right? so now im free from them. today, i not only struggle with all i have been thru, but also the phyiscal concseqences, to, i have severe lower back issues and pain thru out my body from all the abuse i went thru..i got hurt badly numerous time and it took a toll on my back and neck..the choices you make can have a lasting impact, and im paying for it now.
claudiaishis said
You seem very wise, Marlene, you are on good footing. In passing, learning to shoot well is a good occupation. We are protected from evil spirits and demons but when they enter the flesh of other humans, we need to be ready to protect ourselves and our families. My hubby is delighted that there are so many gun shows to go to now….boys love their cowboys and indians.

IMHO, one of the most debilitating, enslaving realities in life is to realize we are paying for bad decisions of our past. However, as believers, we don’t have to remain in that condition. The Lord came to set us free into abundant life, even if the physical part of that life is pain. Don’t let Satan continue to kill your joy, steal your awareness and acceptance of God’s blessings of this day, and destroy your hope for the future. God wants to use this whole situation for good, and His desire is to bring you out of this bondage. He often uses isolation to do a deep work. Take your thoughts captive and praise Him for where you are today.
“We exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character, and proven character, HOPE; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” Romans 5:3-5
claudiaishis said
Satan did not like God’s Plan and rebelled. Maybe he prefered a harvest of man to eat, rather than the Harvest that Christ Plans. Maybe that is why satan planned earthly mans’ fall, in the hopes that he could permanently convince God to leave us alone, so we could reproduce, just like cattle in a stock yard.

I saw the film and It’s pretty much a guarantee that If you even have a passing knowledge of the, “Jack and the Beanstalk,” fairy tale, then you will know the story of Jack the Giant Slayer, that said, it reminded me of other films such as “The Never Ending Story” and “The Dark Crystal.”
As far as the “giants” go, I found them to be pretty interesting… In a way, they reminded me of the trolls in last year’s “The Hobbit: an Unexpected Journey,” as they are excessively gross, uncivilized and high-tempered. I did appreciate good retelling of an old story without any low brow adult jokes or insinuations, although I must say there were some moderately rough visual moments at times for young kids. But I feel the true brilliance of Jack the Giant Slayer film is the thematic idea that ties the entire story together of how stories are told, and how stories change over time and become myth or are taken out of context, to where people often forget that something they read in a book actually occurred and is the truth. I found this film hitting very close to home. Whether it’s history, myth, or a religious tome, many people nowadays seem to not ever think twice about the stories that exist in our society and refuse to believe, and Jack the Giant Slayer has me genuinely thinking about the truths so often ignored in those stories.

That guy as sinister as can be. Chris Pinto did some great shows a few weeks ago about him. A Jesuit that possibly converted to Islam. That’s a gem.
claudiaishis said
I knew he was one of the henchmen that o b e is using, but, my gosh, I didn’t realize that he was Jesuit before becoming an Islam. Was it on this forum that I read or was referred to a great article concerning the Jesuits? Really learned from reading that article.

Just a side note here–The History Channel’s The Bible mini series which aired Sunday made NO mention of the Nephilim being the reason for the Great Flood. Was this done on purpose?

Of course! Roma Downey, whose husband is financing the project, is a devote Roman Catholic mystic. Check out Tom Horn’s website for more info on the Vatican’s role in the Alien/Nephilim deception.

They didn’t mention the story of Jacob (including Joseph) either. Even if they were trying to put forth a “standard” version of the Bible story….there was so much meaning in the story within Jacob’s family…Joseph, sibling rivalry, overcoming by being true to your standards and having faith in God…the Lion’s den…the furnace…forgiveness. Every time I read of that story and the brothers’ jealousy, for whatever reason I am reminded of satan’s jealousy and his actions. I didn’t see any of that there…but than it was late, and I may have napped through it. Was it there? I didn’t care for the face on the one cast as Jesus. Petty of me, but he seemed to have a foolish wild eyed look. Not a prophetic wise look to him.

“Angels, Aliens, and UFOs” on Netflix is quite interesting after the first few interviews….
Seems to me that if we take as given that fallen angels are other dimensional (spirits / supernatural), that their part human hybrid offspring would be more material but somewhat supernatural…. until they die leaving only the spiritual (demons, orbs, angels of light, apparitions …. and dare I say it … giant spiritual beings … possibly resident or native to the 2nd heaven).
And if spiritual creatures / supernatural insects and such are attracted to energy … like moths to flames … or see critters to flashers of their own kind … then we might be leaving in a sea of other dimensional creatures…. including dragons / leviathans.
But I really think Faithfulelect can speak to that issue much better, while we all avoid lovecraftian rabbit holes and the temptation to go ask alice or her fuzzy friends….

typos… “sea critters” vice “see critters” and “living in a sea” vice “leaving in a sea”

In the end gang Hollywood is going to continue to turn out films like this that are designed to prepare humanity for the Great Deception. Let us make the most of opportunities like the one L A talked about with the mother and daughter in the theater.

There could be some reverse psychology going on also. Like if we are conditioned to think they are going to be monsters when they return, and something to horrendously fear….if they come as the great peace makers by contrast, it will be easier to deceive the nations. Thus, they will have caused a spiritual death of great demensions as people flock to get thier “manna”.
letsburgeon said
Absolutely Claudiaishis. Certain ranks of demons/fallen angels 👿appear to “invade” earth disgused as bad Aliens only to have humanity “rescued” by “good Aliens” (other demons/fallen angels)😈. The scriptures make it clear in 2Thess 2:11 that God will send them a strong delusion😳. Again this is pure speculation but as we draw nearer to that day it is getting easier to see how the chips may fall😱

This is for Pastor Hector that has a tumor, i couldn’t find where i could reply under your post about him so i’m posting here if that is ok. Is there any way that he could go to a naturopathic doctor that treats cancer and get INJECTIBLE vitamin C INTO the tumor site (and also IV vitamin C)?
My cat who had a large malignant tumor in his sinuses and forehead (under the skin and bones) got injectible C into the tumor from his veterinarian and Praise the Lord it completely shrunk (all glory to God because we prayed fervently and asked Him to guide our path) but maybe this could help Pastor Hector?

Have you ever heard of the mathematical model, “String Theory”, that science is working on that attempts to describe all fundamental forces and forms of matter and other extra dimensions, as many as 10? Remember Enoch and his travels within God’s Realm? I used to say back in Highschool that if science ever became perfect it would find God, and than, when I first was taught the atom/electron/proton/neutron theory, and they did not yet know what the smallest bits were made of, it popped into my mind that they were vibrating bits of the Father, going so fast that it created solid matter. It seems that is what they are now theorizing….except they don’t realize the God part. All things go back to Him. They don’t realize it, but Eternal Father who is all Spirit holds everything together, is timeless, and is behind everything. If they were to be given enough time to finally get it right, they will all bow before Him…His manifested Form, Jesus Christ. The video shows future “tools” to enable what we Believers will all be able to do (time travel, teleportation) as Jesus said when we become like Him, in Him and in the Father. If our Faith was connected via the Holy Spirit strong enough we could move mountains! When next we see Him we will be like Him. Man and science without God will continue their quest for things that our God has already explained to us. We need to keep track of the science of man tho, because it will be used to deceive us, and by keeping track, we will know that their “truths” are all still just theories. We know that when Jesus Christ returns all mystery will be revealed.
