Comic Book Characters and Christian Allegories

[Manonfire63]

Many comic books writers were Jews. There are interesting allegories, for one reason or the other, for spiritual things woven into them.


Superman

Superman is Kal of the House of EL. God's Angels are Micha-El, Gabri-El, Uri-EL, Ragu-El, and so on. That makes Superman Earth's Guardian Angel?

Superman's origin story is like the Story of Moses. A baby is sent down the Nile, figuratively, to be raised by foster parents.

Given you watch the movie "Man of Steel" and catch on to this, you may be able to find a lot more.

Batman

From [Picture of a Prophet](Picture of a Prophet by L. Ravenhill) by Leonard Ravenhill we learn:

>The prophet is God's detective seeking for a lost treasure. The degree of his effectiveness is determined by his measure of unpopularity. Compromise is not known to him.

In general, someone has an idea...why? Maybe an artist or writer became drunk and woke up with an epiphany. Maybe he had some food for thought at a coffee shop. When we find recurring themes it is a Sign of The Times. (Matthew 16:3) It was a Spirit giving an idea.

A Prophet may be Batman. The Joker would be Satan.



In Bush "The Only Way Out" the lead singer is shown hearing a voice. Lucifer was known as an Angel of Light. The lead singer says he is the only way while denying Christ and God. He blows up a hospital.

Joker blows up hospital

["Joker and the Thief"]


() Wolfmother.


Satan is a Joker. The day of the Lord comes as a Thief in the night. (1 Thessalonians 5:2)

There are a lot of riddles in the spiritual which is why you need a detective. The Stone rejected by the builders becomes the chief cornerstone. (Psalms 118:22)(Luke 20:9-19)(Acts 4:11)(1 Peter 2)

There are a lot more allegories. It depends how many you want given to you verse self-discovery.


[Batmoses]() Jerusalem U

It is not that God is a Riddler as in a villain, but that these allegories or metaphors are sort of like God's Clothes. Like the Emperor's New Clothes? Given we peel back all the layers someone could uncover the Father's Nakedness? (Genesis 9)

More

In the Marvel Series, "The Defenders" on Netflix we have The Hand as the main bad guy. The Hand is a shadowy organization with a nefarious agenda. The Hand uses the word "Vessel" many times in reference to Electra's body like she is a possessed person.

In Batman you have The League of Assassins which is a similar organization to The Hand. Both secret societies have ways to make their life longer. The head of the League of Assassins is known as the Demon's Head. Coming out of The Lazarus Pit someone ends up possessed?

In the Bible, your Body is a Temple. Jesus lives inside you. Someone accepts The Spirit of God. He lets his ego down, and God in. He i s reborn in Christ. God is God of the living and not of the dead. (Luke 20:38)When someone refers to their body a vessel, that is like being a temple. Jesus Christ cast out Spirits. What Spirit is someone of?

Freemasons are a shadowy Secret Society. Walt Disney was a 33 Degree Freemason. What happened to a lot of the former female Disney stars like Lohan and Miley and so on? They seemed to be in a bad crowd? Bad fruit?

Christina Aguilera sang "Genie in a Bottle." Genie is an Arabic Djinn or Demon. A genie gives you wishes like a Money's Paw wish or a deal with the devil? Christian Aguilera sang a fun pop song for the time, or stating that her body is a vessel, and she is a possessed person?

The following was first posted about a day or so after "Avengers Affinity War" came out.   Given you have seen meme's with Shrek in a particular way........or Jesus with an Affinity gauntlet around that time.....why?  Some of it may have been the spiritual references people caught onto.  Why Shrek? 

Kingdom of God: Infinity War

For today, I am Skrek. Why Skrek? The Spiritual or Principalities have layers. It has layers like the atmosphere. Some of these layers have been like God's Clothes. (The Emperors New Clothes?) We shouldn't expose the Father's nakedness? (Genesis 9) Someone pulling back the layers for you, so you can see, may be an Ogre.

Shrek beats up Thanos. Shrek takes the Infinity Gauntlet like a warrior from the Iliad taking the armor of a Hero he vanquished as a trophy. Skrek now has The Soul Stone. What exactly is The Soul Stone and what does it do?

Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' (Matthew 22:37)

Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.(Deuteronomy 6:5)

Christians are to love The Lord their God with their Heart and Soul. Before Christ, this may have come partially in the form of Nationalism. Jacob's name was changed to Israel. God Almighty is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Isaac was a child of promise. God promised Abraham sons. Isaac is special. David defending Israel against Goliath was an act of National pride and patriotism. It was an act of love and faith with God. Loving God with your heart and soul, in terms of the Old Testament, may have come in the form of identity, like identity politics, how someone identifies and sees themselves. It was tied to a form of Nationalism.

In Ezekiel 23, Israel and Judah are like two sisters God married. They prostituted themselves with foreign gods and foreign nations. That is multiculturalism. Someone with a heart for God is Zealous like David was. Zealous in defending his brothers and his God. Love of money is the root of all evil, and those looking to make money with foreigners or looking for foreign titles or foreign acceptance would be a multiculturalist and prone to sin and idolatry to fit in? Jesus is a Bridegroom looking for a Bride. Men are to love their wives as God loved the Church. The Church is said to be a Bride for Christ.

Identity has a lot to do with the make up of the soul. Where is someone's heart and soul? Someone should identify themselves as a Child of God. They should work to build The Kingdom of God. That is where their soul should be. The Counter Culture is Satanic and based on Marxism and Crowley. It works to splinter and divide man, divide nations, divide the Church. Christians should reject it zealously.

Men who tend to love God and love God's law tend to be traditional people and Nationalists. In Britain, for example, a lot of the coronation of the King or Queen and the symbolism is based on Prophet Samuel and the Anointing of King Saul like the King of Britain is God's Anointed. The Queen is God's Anointed and the head of the State Church, the Anglican Church? Love of God for many British would look like Traditional Nationalism? Multiculturalism would be like drinking a harlots wine? (Ezekiel 23)(Revelations 17)

The head of man is Christ, the head of woman is her husband. (1 Corinthians 11:3)

Christ is to man as man is to woman. (1 Corinthians 11:3) The head of man is Christ. The head of woman is her husband. God is said to have married Israel or Jerusalem in the Old Testament. The Greater Church is a bride for Christ.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her (Ephesians 5:25)

There is a 16 year old girl. She starts dating. She has a boyfriend. This is her first boyfriend. She loves him. They end up in sin together. She molds and changes for him. She sees the two of them as a couple. She works to build an identity as a couple. Her identity is shaped by the relationship. As she is shaping their identity together, and because they were in sin, they became "one flesh," she has a Soul Tie. Their souls are tied together.

He dumps her after a 9 months. He didn't really take the relationship that seriously, and may be headed for an extended adolescence. The US Government says he is not a man till age 26 for reasons to do with Healthcare, and he may not understand responsibility and manhood and know who he is due to a variety of factors till around that time anyway. He wasn't ready for that type of commitment.

The 16 year old girl is now a hurt woman. She is damaged. She has to build an identity outside of that relationship. She hates her ex. She ends up a feminist. She wants a career, and she hates men. Her identity around feminism starts to form. That is what she is loving with her soul and her heart.

In college she meets has a new boyfriend. He doesn't like all that feminist stuff. She likes him. Her plan is to be married by 25. Her biological clock is ticking, and he came along at the right time. She drops a lot of the feminist identity to forge a new identity with that relationship.

Kingdom of God

The Avengers movie came out recently. Someone has The Soul Stone. Given someone had the Soul Stone, he could make Captain American a Captain Russia. Captain America's Identity and what he loves and fights for is tied to his patriotism and love of country, what he loves with his soul. It is tied to the pre-Counter Culture value system of what makes a man. With the Soul Stone, someone could make Captain America Captain Russia. His identity and what he loves is changed. How Captain America perceives himself is changed.

When David defended God and Israel against Goliath, he Loved God and Israel with his Heart and Soul. David is a Patriot. God in the Bible is God of Israel, Isaac, and Jacob, God of David's Ancestors who lead his people out of Egypt and slavery. God gave David victory over the lions and bears that would try to steal David's lambs away as he was shepherding. Surely that Philistine stood no chance?

As Christians we are Children of God. Christianity is transformational. Someone accepts in the Spirit of God, and is baptized. They become part of The Body of Christ. The Family of believers. They become a Child of God. That means something. As a Christian, they are important, and play a role in the Body. They should love God with their Heart and Soul. My Father has a House.

Song: "In my Father's House." All are welcome.

We are neither Jew nor Gentile. God will take a servant who fears him from any Nation. God likes Glory. Would you like to work to bring God Glory or work for God's Glory?
