Double Entendre

"Twilight" the movie opens with the voice of Bella reciting the preface of the book "Twilight" but on the movie screen we see a small deer by a water brook. Immediately, two scriptures came to my mind - the first was in reference to the visual and is

Psalm 42:1 As the hart (deer) panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God.

The second scripture verse was in response to the spoken words and is

John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

A double entendre refers to spoken words that have two meanings one obvious and the other intending a meaning which can be ironic, risque or ambigious. To me; however, this double entendre is the spoken words having one meaning and the scene in the movie belying that meaning. Bella's words dying in the place of someone she loves gives the feel of nobleness but the killing of the deer does not. If the deer represents someone who loves God and the death of that deer is to feed the insatiable blood lust of a fallen angel; well there is nothing noble in that act. The scene and voice are more like a bait and switch act. Is this a stretch? I think not. Whether the author, Stephenie Meyer's, knows what is going on is debatable and no, this is no great piece of literature, but it is a message. There is someone who knows the word of God and has twisted it and used it to deceive the sheep and the goats of this planet for millenia. I'm not talking animals, I'm talking people. God classifies people into two categories sheep and goats (Matthew 25:33). "Twilight" opens with the first recorded twisiting of God's word in Genesis 2:17. Page 24 of "Twilight" we have our first reference to Eve despite the fact it is a cliche. Page 43 we are introduced to the musical voice (Exekiel 28:12) and on page 67 she's dreaming of Edward Cullen. Jeremiah 23:25-29 speaks of dreams and more than dreams. Here is the passage in

Jeremiah 23:25-29, "I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed. 26. How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart; 27. Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal. 28. The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? said the Lord. 29. Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?

What I find so incredibly fascinating when I pair the word of God with the scenes from the movie and pages from the book is how it reveals the truth behind the story. According to the vampire culture of "Twilight" the vampires are made of stone or rock and they can only truly be destroyed by fire. That is exactly what God says about his Word in

Jeremiah 23:29 Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?

For a thorough understanding of Baal you can read my older post on this blog. But the purpose of the dreams are to cause people to forget God and replace Him with Baal - Satan/Lucifer. And accordingly there was a huge embracing of Edward Cullen the vampire by the church for more on that follow this link: http://intotwilight.wordpress.com/2009/01/23/twilight-in-a-christian-perspective/ The day will come when Satan/Lucifer will be reduced to a pile of ash (just like the vampires in the "Twilight Saga") according to

Ezekiel 28:18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therfore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.

Between now and the day of Satan's destruction we the people of God are Satan's target. The opening scene of "Twilight" show us exactly what his intent is -- to eat us for lunch!! So, run little deer run and cling to the rock of your salvation, Jesus Christ. Quit being decieved by the dreams of people like Stephenie Meyer and J. K. Rowlings. Don't believe church leaders that tell you Edward Cullen is an example of Jesus Christ. No, he is an example of the anti-christ -- against Christ!

Full agreement. Hold tightly to the God of
your salvation, Jesus Christ, the only SON of the
living GOD.
Satan and demons are out to steal,kill and destroy and are very successfull.
There is no vampire, wolfman or creature from hell who is able to or ever will save you.
Like you said they will eat you alive.
