"The Twilight Saga" and the Issue of Blood, Breath and Eyes

Vampires drink blood. The Cullens are somehow portrayed as a cut above other vampires because they only drink the blood of animals. I don't think anyone who saw the movies can forget the scene in "New Moon," as the men, women and children are being led into the inner chamber of the Volturi to be slaughtered like sheep. Or the scene in "Eclipse," where the newborn army is feasting and fighting over the human beings they have captured for their bloodfeast. What does God have to say about the consumption of blood?

Leviticus 17:10-14 And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people. 11. For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. 12. Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust. 14. For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof; therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.
The vampire culture of blood drinking does indeed cut them off from humanity, from society, and most especially from God. Drinking animal blood instead of human blood does not save them nor does it make them better somehow than other vampires. Blood is blood. Blood has a voice that God can hear,

Genesis 4:9-11 And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper? 10. And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of they brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. 11. And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;

Breath: apparently the toxic venom of vampires can be expired through their breath to daze their intended victim. On page 92 of "Twilight" Edward breathes on Bella and she is immediately dazed and her mind goes blank. But we find that the breath of God gives life in

Genesis 2:7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

It is interesting to note here that it does not say that God breathed into Eve's nostrils instead He took one of Adam's ribs which already had the life of Adam's blood contained within the bone and marrow of that rib to form Eve. I am making an assumption but it is reasonable to consider that it was unnecessary for God to breathe into Eve's nostrils because the blood contained in Adam's rib would have carried the necessary oxygen of life to Eve's body. However, there is no way for me to ascertain this information. But it is interesting to think that while Adams rib gave life to Eve's body, Edwards bite takes life out of Bella and makes her devoid of blood. In the New Testament we also find that Jesus imparted the Holy Ghost by breathing on the disciples after His resurrection.

John 20:19-22 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. 20. And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord. 21. Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. 22. And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:

God's breath and the breath of Jesus impart life and the third person of the trinity, the Holy Ghost, to mankind. Vampire breath is toxic and helps to daze or paralyze their victims for the subsequent kill. Eyes: God says in

Proverbs 4:20-22 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.

God says in

Proverbs 22:12 The eyes of the Lord preserve knowledge, and he overthroweth the words of the transgressor.

Jesus said in

Matthew 6:22-23 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. 23. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

The eyes according to the word of God reveal our souls. I have always found it unnerving to look into eyes that I just know I can't trust. I think most of us can sense a lot about people when we look into their eyes. It is a biblical principle. If our ears and our eyes keep God's sayings in our heart then we will have life and health. God's eyes preserve knowledge and overthrows the words of transgressors another word for the unredeemed. The eyes of vampires mesmerize and if caught in the gaze of the wrong kind of vampire it will not bring you life but it will bring you death. When a vampire is hungry his eyes are black and frightening. If he is a Cullen and fed then he has warm golden eyes. If he is a drinker of human blood then his eyes reflect the bloodlust that is in his heart. According to

Proverbs 29:10 The bloodthirsty hate the upright: but the just seek his soul.

Whether it is the likes of the Cullens or the Volturi they are both bloodthirsty and by definition they both hate the upright (or redeemed.) Either way, if you are turned into a vampire or simply killed by one, it is death. It is interesting to note that the fifth chapter of Proverbs is about Wisdom. Contained in this chapter is the following

Proverbs 5:14-19 Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men. 15. Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away. 16. For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall. 17. For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence. 18. But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. 19 The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.

Once again I have to consider that the "Twilight Saga" was produced by a supernatural force that knows the scriptures of the Bible and every nuance contained in them. Is it not interesting that vampires do not sleep and that Bella stumbles through life even when there is nothing over which to stumble in her path. Satan's whole agenda since he was cast out of heaven has been to overthrow God and defile God's creation, man. The "Twilight" saga is just another weapon in his arsenal to draw people away from God and into an eternal seperation from God. To become a vampire promises a life of immortality and prefection if you can avoid being killed by vampire hunters, shape shifters and rival vampires. The truth is that the entire human race is going to become immortal. The question is will that immortality be with God in eternity or will that immortality be in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone (Revelation 21:8, Revelation 20:14, I Corinthians 6:9, Galatians 5:19, Ephesians 5:5, I Timothy 1:9.)

If the fans of "Twilight" go to church it is doubtful in this day of apostate christianity that they have even heard a teaching on any of the scriptures I have cited. They probably have no idea it is forbidden to eat blood. They have no idea that Bella's stumbling and desire to become a vampires represents a wicked heart. They have no idea that Edward is not offering her life but death in every sense of the word for eternity. Edward is very clear about who he is and his character. He states that he is a monster and a murderer and that becoming what he is will destroy her soul. But Bella doesn't care.

I think the fans of "Twilight" sum up how vacuous the times are in which we live. They hound the actor, Robert Pattinson, begging him to bite them. Some of them are very young, where are their mothers? The actor finds this behavior bizarre and I daresay unnerving. Why else would he choose the long lonely drive across Texas, from Los Angeles to New Orleans for the shooting of Breaking Dawn.  He stated in an interview it was to avoid the commotion that his appearance causes in airports. http://www.breakingdawnmovie.org/robert-pattinsons-vanity-fair-cover-shoot-interview/

Wake up people!! There is an immortal predator of superior intelligence and superior strength seeking to destroy all of us. But there is also a Savior who made a Blood Atonement for each of us -- there is only one thing necessary to be saved from the evil predator -- receive the Blood Atonement of Jesus Christ then read the Word of God so you will have knowledge and understanding. I think you may be able to see it, the Bible, is the most amazing BOOK of all times!!
