End Times Entertainment

Q

Thanks so much for taking the time to help us learn more about God’s word. Your website has been a blessing to me and helped me to understand many things that before were not clear. I Praise God for you and the marvelous work you are doing.

I have noticed that some Hollywood movies & TV shows being churned out today are about the end times, prophecy, the end of the world, the Antichrist, etc. and all from a secular view point. Comments from friends and acquaintances lead me to believe that this could be the devils way of poking fun at God’s Word and perhaps making the sinners less apt to accept Christ and His Word as truth. It seems the devil has taken the terror of being left behind away and causes sinners to think that only “fanatics” would believe that God would do this to the world today.

Are there any scriptures that tell us that Satan might use this approach to confuse sinners and make “the end of the World” seem like a fable and not a real event? Do you think we can combat such a tactic or are we losing this battle for lost souls today? I know satan is the great deceiver and I fear for the Lost in our World.

The Bible doesn’t go into that much detail. What it says is that the time will come when people will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths (2 Tim. 4:4). This is an accurate explanation of what’s going on in the world, and it doesn’t just concern the movies and TV. Other forms of entertainment can be just as bad. It’s a sign that the End of the Age is upon us.
