Default Re: Review: The Purge: Election Year (Or: What if "The Purge" movies were real?) - 01-30-2018, 03:25 AM

Your review reminded me of a similar collapse of order, when Satan decided to challenge the order of God. For a short time, an individual's lifetime, here in the world rules were stripped away. We had to manage as best we could and the circumstances were much as you've described. When Eve took notice of what the serpent was telling her mayhem sprang up in humanity but there was a policeman standing there, watching and willing to save. In order to do that certain rules, a form of the manorialism you mentioned, were established but people chose to ignore those rules most of the time.


Yet over this purge a word had gone out, to keep certain things safe. Not human lives obviously. They were there to understand the need for Salvation and to accept or reject God's Wonderful Gift as they saw fit. But the Gospel has been preserved intact and the offer of Redemption stands through all this turmoil. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us but still we need to ask Jesus for help, and to love Him, so that He will help us. Otherwise why should He do any more that your policeman? He is not there to take our freedom of choice away but to safeguard God's Plan for Salvation.

Cue a scene where police are guarding a bank and a Gucci store while a screaming victim gets slowly and clumsily hacked to death right in front of them - and they do nothing.

Satan hacks away at all of humanity and although Jesus watches and is willing to save us, first of all we do need to tell Him we love Him and to reject all the trappings of falsehood which in many cases the victims have been brought up with. Hideous goblin idols encrusting every building, indoctrination to grovel like a grovelling thing, every form of evil during this purge surrounding the victim from infancy and preventing Jesus from assisting. So they reject His Perfect Love and go for imperfection instead. There are many examples. Some pretend to be "religions" which would start off like the street gangs, exploiting happenstance to broaden their base. Others are less subtle: do this or I'll chop your head off. Not unknown as a strategy among warlords and clearly having nothing to do with protection.

God knew in that situation there'd be plenty of people just pretending to follow the rules. They would as readily say "I love Jesus, now help me," as they'd claim to love Warlord or False Prophet or Idol. And within their bubble some help may be available, a few extorted resources diverted, but there'd be a price to pay later when Warlord needed some grunt. How does God deal with such a situation?

He needs to know whether you belong to the facility being guarded or whether you should just continue to be murdered while He watches, waiting for you to accept His love. That means really accept, not just mouthing some formula as let's face it He's had to put up with for thousands of years, and this is what He said:
Zechariah 13:7-9 Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones. And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God.
