And here's someone who just saw the film, confirming what I said below. —ïž
Spielberg isn't dumb enough to make "Disclosure Day" an explicit rejection of God and of Jesus Christ. His Deceptionâand the ET/UFO Deception in generalâis more strategic; it's about pretending to accomodate religion while in fact destroying it. (2 Timothy 3:5)
As Fulton Sheen prophesied in 1947âprecisely as the UFO Deception beganâthe Antichrist will heavily praise Jesus, God, and Religion; but only to subtly destroy each.
"We are living in the twilight of a civilization ... progress is automatic thanks to scienceâeducation and evolution, which will one day make man a kind of a god as H.G. Wells said, with his feet on the earth and his hands among the stars ... The anti-Christ will not be so called, otherwise he would have no followers ... This masquerade has helped the devil convince men that he does not exist, for he knows that he is never so strong as when men believe that he does not exist. When no man recognizes, the more power he exercises. ⊠Our Lord tells us that [the Antichrist] will be so much like Himself, that he would deceive even the elect ... How will he come in this new age to win followers to his religion? He will come disguised as the Great Humanitarian; he will talk peace, prosperity and plenty not as means to lead us to God, but as ends in themselves. He will write books on the new idea of God to suit the way people live; induce faith in astrology ... he will invoke religion to destroy religion; he will even speak of Christ and say that he was the greatest man who ever lived ⊠[he will promote] a new religion without a Cross, a liturgy without a world to come, a city of man without a city of God, a religion to invoke a religion, or a politics which is a religion ... He will set up a counter-Church which will be the ape of the Church because, he the devil, is the ape of God. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content. It will be a mystical body of the anti-Christ that will in all externals resemble the mystical body of Christ. ...
... There are Times of Troubles and it is not so much a Third World War that is to be feared, as the rebirth of Leviathan, the coming of the Day of the Beast, when there will be no buying or selling unless men have been signed with the sign of the Beast who would devour the child of the Mother of Mothers. â ... once the taming talisman, the Cross is broken, the savagery of the old battlers will flare up again ... Then the old stone gods will rise from forgotten rubble and rub the dust of a thousand years from their eyes; and Thor will leap up and with his giant hammer start smashing Gothic cathedrals ... â
âVenerable Archbishop Fulton Sheen
