MY REVIEW OF DISCLOSURE DAY -- A DIRECT ASSAULT ON CHRISTIANITY (AND SPIELBERG'S WORST MOVIE) Because of how intentional I believe this film is in attempting to deconstruct Christianity, and because I want to warn people about not seeing it, this will be a very spoiler-filled review. You have been warned before proceeding further. This review will be done in two acts: 1) the worldview of the film, 2) the quality of the film. Neither will be positive. Disclosure Day's Worldview This is a rather blatant attempt to evangelize into a new religion. In many respects, the transition Steven Spielberg makes from his 1970s classic Close Encounters of the Third Kind, to now Disclosure Day, is very similar to what you see from a lot of the prominent UFO/alien obsession proxies like Dr. Steven Greer. At first they start off in wonderment about what else is really out there in the cosmos and whether we're alone in the universe (or Close Encounters), but they always eventually end up at the aliens are really our saviors to show fallible human beings the way to salvation (or Disclosure Day). If you only see people like Greer or Luis Elizondo on cable news networks, you'd think they're just scientifically inquisitive and want "the truth to be told." But if you watch their documentaries, as I have, it becomes increasingly obvious they are really selling a religion. Greer is basically just a wannabe prophet of the non-human intelligence phenomena as deliverers at this point, and Elizondo is on his way there by angrily dismissing the possibility this is all just a demonic spiritual deception (as he did in last year's The Age of Disclosure documentary). Here are some examples of how this film head-on intends to deconstruct Christianity (in chronological scene order): --The main character's love interest, who is now his admitted fornication partner, is a former nun. She specifically tells him early in the film she left the convent behind because "I lost my belief that God is divine." Hold on to that language later, because it's going to put everything else I point out next in its proper context. --When the shadowy agency conducting the decades-long coverup attempts to use alien technology to subvert the former nun's consciousness and turn her into a traitor, she grabs her crucifix and tries to invoke its power to resist the alien tech -- to the point she essentially stigmatas herself. However, the crucifix is rendered powerless in the face of the superior alien technology and thus she is given over to it. --The entire story is unfolding under the backdrop of pending nuclear war and planetary annihilation (between the US and Russia, of course, because apparently it's still 1985). In other words, we are in the end of days and lost as a species unable to save ourselves. We need a salvation we cannot acquire on our own. --We learn the aliens specifically chose a male and a female to be the "vessels" at the vanguard of this next step of our evolution. Which the aliens are here to guide for us, of course. It is eventually revealed the male is given mathematic revelation (or logic) and the female empathy (or nurturing) -- with the female's gift depicted as superior in its intensity. Or a divine feminine. --The climax of the disclosure broadcast occurs when the largest of the aliens is brought in by several humans in what is basically a gestatorial chair, which he emerges from to pronounce blessings upon the new Adam and Eve with a priestly whisper in his native tongue of clicks and tones (I guess Latin would've been too on the nose). The whisper is translated for all of humanity into the final line of the film: "Listen." Some might say sort of like, "Let those with ears to hear let them hear." --Though the film makes it clear the climactic day of disclosure is being felt globally, the only religion wrestling with it is Christianity. At the convent we see several of the nuns desperately clinging to their Rosaries looking for guidance, while the Mother Superior lets out a wry smile in approval of the coming syncretism. No other religion is even depicted, let alone shown to have to grasp with the significance of all this. Why is that? All the potential answers to this question are bad. Though I'd love that to be the case, Christianity is not the only global religion on this planet. Furthermore, the only Christianity depicted in the movie is Catholicism. --Now, back to the smiling Mother Superior at the end of the movie, and the former nun saying she lost her belief that God is divine in its opening act. The movie says this at the same time it makes it clear humanity needs saving, and the former nun also makes the case that even though she doesn't believe in God anymore the world needs that belief to maintain any form of order. Enter the aliens, who check all the boxes of what is required. They are sinless, while we are not. They have knowledge kept secret, that we do not. They are the only ones who can share such revelation with us, we can't acquire it ourselves. And by embracing this singular truth mankind can be saved, because we can't save ourselves. If all that's not a religion, I don't know what is. If all that's not a direct attempt to redirect Christianity, I don't know what is. Marcion, Arius, and Pelagius were more subtle. Quality of Disclosure Day Itself Thankfully, this movie is also not very good. Had it been executed better, we might really be in trouble as a people here. It's the worst movie Spielberg has ever done. The film doesn't really have a plot, but is just one long chase scene of not believable things. Like we are supposed to believe a nerd who admits he was never in the field before this, is now able to suddenly drive cars at high speed through houses and evade the world's most effective private security firm that has successfully protected this secret for over 75 years. We are supposed to believe if you hide behind rocks just five feet from that same organization's operatives they won't look for you there, or hear you running away in the woods as you step on branches. In another scene the "good guys" use the alien's invisibility technology to escape, but for whatever reasons turn on the sirens of the firetruck they're in so now "the bad guys" know they're there. Finally, we are supposed to believe that same shadowy organization ejects and just angrily gives up at the end without a fight to permit disclosure day to happen, even though they could've just pulled out their guns and shot everybody there before the cameras went live. You make these kinds of continuity and believability errors when you're more about the message than the movie. I recognize it, because it's why Christian movies were so bad for so long. More concerned with checking ideological boxes and shoehorning in favored tropes over telling the best possible story. Spielberg made mistakes with this film he would've never made before as possibly the greatest director ever. And we see a lot of left-wing Hollywood making this mistake nowadays. The industry has lost patience with subverting us with good stories over time, and it's now just knocking on doors and putting their pitch right in your face like the evangelists they are. Consider it a blessing that America's greatest director cast his pearls unto swine by shrouding all this deconstruction and deception within a hot mess of a film -- otherwise we might've had a real birth of a dangerous cult on our hands. The Lord works in mysterious ways.

ERIC METAXAS: In America there is a real God moment. People are recognizing that without the God of the Bible, you cannot have America, you cannot have American liberty. We can no longer pretend that we can have this without God. He's at the center of it. It's because people dedicated to Him were willing to suffer and die 250 years ago. -- You, you don't have to like it, but you have to acknowledge that without God and without the men in the Revolution knowing consciously and explicitly saying, "What we're doing is a God thing. We're declaring independence from the earthly king, King George, and we're declaring dependence on the King of Kings, Jesus is the King." @ericmetaxas

It was astonishing to me that I'd never heard of James Otis, Jr. until I did my REVOLUTION research. God bless John Adams for giving us his account of what happened that day in 1761 that started it all!
Reading, Revolution, by @ericmetaxas, on young John Adams witness of James Otis Jr in the courtroom, and my reaction. “ Even though Otis’s side lost that day, something changed for those who were there, or who afterward heard of what had taken place. ‘Every man of an immense crowded audience appeared to me to go away, as I did, ready to take arms against writs of assistance,’ Adams recalled. ‘Then and there was the first scene of the first act of opposition to the arbitrary claims of Great Britain. Then and there the child Independence was born.’” ***Goosebumps*** The birth of a nation right there.

God is sovereign. Over all. But He will never force us to accept that. Even thought it's true. It's up to us to accede to reality and truth.
“There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is sovereign over all, does not cry: ‘Mine!’” —Abraham Kuyper

ERIC METAXAS: At the heart of it is this algebraic equation, X = God. You take God out the whole thing falls apart. There is no America. But at the heart of it is this idea that they all knew back then and that we have forgotten, that without God, you cannot have any of this stuff. — This is the only revolution ever in the history of the world where this biblical idea comes in, and God comes in and enables people to govern themselves. Every American needs to know what we have is unique. It is utterly unique. We've got to sacrifice, be willing to sacrifice everything because this is God's idea in history. There are millions of unborn people looking to us today. Will we sacrifice what the people sacrificed in 1776? Will we be the good guys or the bad guys? We don't have the cards. God has the cards. If He wants to play His cards, we win. We side with God. @ericmetaxas

STEVE BANNON: One of the things about these turnings is that history speeds up. Things accelerate, and then they start accelerating at an accelerating rate until you come to some sort of at least initial climax . — You had the Revolution, then you had a War of Independence, then you had Nation-Building. That War of Independence and the Spirit flowing through these people, the sacrifices they made in the first 90 days, starting right after July 4th mid-July to til we retreated to Delaware. But those 100 days, it was all in the mix, and we came so close, this close from losing it all. — Because that's the Spirit going through people that said, "I will give my life for something” - yeah that was just a kind of a concept at the time.

‼️STOP & PRAY -By now, many of you have heard the tragic news of what happened to East Lake Community Church last night. Below is the pastor's statement. A statement from Pastor Troy Keaton: Our church family suffered a great tragedy tonight after an outdoor tent collapsed during a celebration service for our 20th anniversary. Just as I had walked to the stage to release people to their cars, a burst of wind picked up the tent. There were several people transported to local hospitals, and we are currently focused on caring and praying for them. We do not have details on their condition. Sadly one of our dear brothers suffered a fatal injury. Our hearts are broken for his precious family. We are grateful for all the first responders who are serving us tonight. We will have more to say at an appropriate time.

But what if President Trump's goal is not to defeat Iran, but to defeat the IRG lunatic theocrat mullahs running the country -- and to give Iran back to the people of Iran?
From the beginning of this war, I warned that bible prophecy is against any nation that goes to war against Persia, intending to defeat it. And also the fact that the United States has not won a war since World War II - not well for us. Iran (Persia) will remain until God uses it in Ezekiel 38, which is coming. This deal of Trump’s is a deal from Hell. Like Israel of old, I’m thinking of Isaiah 28:15 for America. “Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves.” This could bring our well-deserved judgment.
