How did the entire Western world wander away from a Biblical way of looking at reality over the last 80 years? They go to church and watch the latest blockbusters on the weekends, of course. Kevin Swanson enters one of the temples and takes notes in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the greatest blockbuster of all time. As the director and movie stars preach, Kevin takes careful note of the anthropology, political theory, social theory, witchcraft, and metaphysical worldview perspective that make up the world of Star Wars.

“ Stormtroopers: Compared to Christian Saints ” Given the Gnostic overtones of Star Wars and sci fi in general, it appears that liberal Lucasfilm is comparing the stormtroopers to Christian Saints. This is because the stormtroopers are adorned in alabaster armour from head to toe. As with a lot of other liberal fictional stories centered on illiberalism like most of sci fi, the "villains", who are made to look like oppressive "tyrants" are adorned in alabaster apparel, while the "heroes", who are made to appear as liberal liberators, are adorned in umber apparel. References to alabaster apparel for Christians are noted in Revelation 03, particularly Revelation 03:18, Revelation 04, particularly Revelation 04:04, and Revelation 19, particularly Revelation 19:08 and Revelation 19:14. Also, umber apparel is not only associated with death, but also the demonic and Satanic Goth subculture. The liberal attack on Righteous Alabaster Apparel should advice us to embody said Righteous Alabaster Apparel. Thus, the liberals are the real rebel soldiers revolting against The King of Kings.

“ Darth Vader: Compared to Jesus ” If there is one thing that we know to be true about Darth Vader, he is most compared to Jesus. This is because he, Darth Vader, is referred to as Lord as well as his standard outfit being modeled after the High Priest Outfit noted in Exodus 28. Also, Darth Vader has a pectoral panel on his armoured outfit closely resembling the priestly breastplate called the hosen (חֹשֶׁן ḥōšen). Darth Vader is also referred to as Father, much like how Abafu (Ābàfù 阿爸父) is referred to as Father. It is very clear that the liberal sci fi industry is blaspheming Jesus by depicting Him as a villain in the form of Darth Vader. A podcast like this is needed in response not only to the liberal ideology presented in Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015), but also in response to the liberalism of the sci fi industry itself.

“ Star Wars: Tales of Pantheism ” The central theme of Star Wars is what is known as "The Force," a pantheistic entity collectively connected to all living things. While Star Wars may appear artistically creative on the surface, the stories are laden with pantheism. This was clearly admitted by even the likes of George Lucas. The general assumption of the Star Wars stories is that the "good psychic powers" practiced by the "heroes" always defeats the "bad psychic powers" practiced by the "villains."
As of now, the mythical Star Wars Universe is known under the common ownership of Disney. Most of us are aware that Disney makes many productions with superficially high artistic quality, but are rooted in the occult. Indeed, the force of Star Wars is strong with the Disney company, but it is the force of mythical pantheism.
Never forget the wise warnings about the occult in Deuteronomy 18:10-12.

“ Great Sermon! ” An example of movie entertainment to awaken us?
'Wolverine was panned by the critics here, but we enjoyed it. I agree that the language was unneccessary and offensive. In fact, given the rating, I was shocked at it. The sad thing is I never even noticed the blasphemous swear words. I noticed others. My wife told me afterwards. Lesson learned about becoming comfortable with garbage.'
An English Reformed Baptist pastor's comments above proving my point? He enjoyed it despite the offensive language and DIDN'T even notice the blasphemy, then learns the lesson about being comfortable with garbage?
Surely Christian pastors have better things to do? Why not set the same time aside to pray for a member of the congregation or the salvation of sinners in the locality or for God to grant a pure heart dedicated to His Glory. We wonder why there are so few conversions...yet we are sat at the movies or in front of our 50 inch TV screen? Part-time soldiers are of little use in a full time, full scale, spiritual battle?

“ Great Sermon! ” I didn't really notice these things until you'll pointed it out. Go check out the trailer to the new x-men movie due out in 2016. Listen to what's being said. You will be quite surprised. What should we (Christians) think of these movies? I'm guilty of watching the other x-men movies but won't go see this one.

“ Great Sermon! ” Also, when doing reviews, don't include SPOILERS (regarding the son), or at least add a spoiler warning.
I wonder if it's at all OK to even read non-Christian worldview fiction.

“ Great Sermon! ” This is how it started; first, the ACLU unhinged Christianity, then drugs mainstreamed, along with occult religions.
Lastly, most christians dont have the strength to put down ISLAM when it takes over the west. It just might radicalize.
Ive even heard, that in pagan cultures, they heard about a redeemer....but it was clouded by drug use and child sacrifice centuries ago.
Drugs were a door into the occult

“ important! ” George Lucas admitted in an interview at the advent of the first Star Wars that the purpose of the series was to introduce Americans to a new way of thinking. It is filled with occult mystery religion, witchcraft, it's not innocent fiction. It's indoctrination on a much greater scale than that of Harry Potter. Christians have no business patronizing this film or taking their families and children to it for mere Entertainment.
Kevin Swanson has served as elder and pastor of Reformation Church, OPC since its inception. Kevin was raised on the mission field in Japan in the 1960's and 1970's. Together with his wife Brenda, they are bringing up five children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord....
