    You got **Mary and Gabriel.** Now Mary, she's just a young woman, mindin' her business, probably thinkin' about settlin' down. And suddenly an angel, Gabriel himself, walks right in! Not a dream, not a vision, but he came directly to her.! This ain't some whisper in the wind, understand? This is a *messenger* from God, telling her she's gonna carry the Messiah. This shows you the spiritual ain't some far-off thing. It's *right here*, can touch you, can change your whole life in a heartbeat! The divine is *present*!

    Then you got **Jacob, wrestlin' an angel!** Now this ain't no polite conversation, no "How do you do?" This is a full-on *struggle*! Jacob, he's been running from his past. But this night, he's gotta face something bigger than himself. He's literally grappling with the divine! He holds on tight, refusing to let go until he gets a blessing. This ain't no walk in the park, church! This shows you that the spiritual life, it ain't always easy. It can be a wrestling match, a struggle to find your place with God. But if you hold on, if you *persist*, you can get a blessing, a *change*!

    And finally, **Lot and the angels in Sodom!** Sodom, it was a wicked place, full of sin and corruption. And these angels, they came in disguise, lookin' like regular men. But Lot, he recognized somethin' different. He offered them hospitality. But the city… the city didn't want no parts of them. They wanted to defile these messengers of God. This here highlights that the spiritual, it's often hidden in plain sight. We gotta have eyes to *see* it, hearts to *receive* it. And sometimes, standin' up for the divine means standin' *against* the world.

    So what are we sayin'? These stories, they ain't just fairy tales, y'all. They're real encounters, real moments where the veil between the earthly and the heavenly, it got thin. They show us that God ain't distant, that He sends His messengers, that He's present in our lives, even when we least expect it. Open your eyes, church! Open your hearts! The spiritual dimension, it's all around us!

    In the book of Daniel, chapter 12, verse 4, it states, “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” This verse suggests that as we approach the end times, there will be an increase in both travel and the growth of knowledge.

    In the book of Genesis, chapter 11, we learn that the whole world once spoke one language. The people united to build a city and a tower whose top could reach unto heaven. The people were one. In response, God confounded their language so they could not understand one another. Consequently, they were scattered across the earth, and they left off to build the city.

    Today, we see Technology has greatly advanced, and we now have tools like Google Translate, which allows us to easily understand foreign languages.

    Additionally, artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming our lives and work, making information more accessible than ever before.

    These developments show that the amount of knowledge available in our world has indeed increased, just as predicted in the Bible.

    Well, here’s something I didn’t see coming: Mel Gibson, that fiery actor we all know, decided to take achance at filmmaking by co-producing, co-writing, and directing a biblical epic back in 2004 called The Passion of the Christ. Now, if memory serves, I was under the impression that he had some Christian beliefs, but truth be told, I didn’t know a whole lot about his past or how he ended up there.

    When the film hit theaters, it was like a crowd—people flocked to see it. I remember standing in a long line, feeling as if I was about to witness some miraculous event. There was a fear that my family and I might miss out, that we might not get tickets. But lo and behold, we finally got into the theater. What unfolded on that screen was something else. I was struck by the sadness of it all, and it certainly didn’t unfold the way I had imagined. The movie was not like all the other movies I had seen about Christ. There were folks in the audience, visibly moved to tears.

    You see, this wasn’t just any ordinary portrayal of Christ; it was Mel Gibson’s unique take. And, of course, critics didn’t hold back—they claimed it was a brutally violent film. They argued that rather than explaining Christ’s teachings, it showcased Gibson’s fascination with violence, almost as if it were the main attraction of the picture. Some folks thought he spent too much time on the blood and guts rather than the message. Who would have thought a film about Christ could stir up such a disturbance?

    So there I sat in the theater surrounded by tears and powerfully haunting, imagery, pondering life, suffering, and the vision of faith. When I walked out, I realize there are more people who love Christ than I had previously thought. Many came to see the film, and it seemed that art has a unique power to confront us with what we might prefer to ignore even when it’s a bit too vivid or uncomfortable. Regardless of how we see it, Gibson certainly left his mark on the world of biblical films.
