Hello, and welcome to a special
Dare to Dream presentation.
00:00:14.54\00:00:18.35
I'm excited, Jason.
00:00:18.38\00:00:19.95
I'm excited too,
00:00:19.98\00:00:21.32
I can't wait to just really
get into the meat of things.
00:00:21.35\00:00:24.02
Yes, yes.
00:00:24.05\00:00:25.39
And you're going to love this
00:00:25.42\00:00:26.76
because we have some
special guests with us
00:00:26.79\00:00:29.02
and what's so amazing is that
00:00:29.06\00:00:30.76
they are involved,
they made this documentary.
00:00:30.79\00:00:35.03
And so our guests are...
00:00:35.06\00:00:37.30
We have pastor
doctor, is it doctor?
00:00:37.33\00:00:41.50
Yes.
00:00:41.54\00:00:42.87
Dr. Isaac Olatunji,
00:00:42.90\00:00:44.77
and he's a professor of religion
00:00:44.81\00:00:46.41
at Oakwood University and
then we have Scotty Meyer,
00:00:46.44\00:00:49.78
who is the director and founder?
00:00:49.81\00:00:52.51
Yeah.
00:00:52.55\00:00:53.88
And founder of
Little Light Studios.
00:00:53.92\00:00:55.75
Um-hm. Am I right?
00:00:55.78\00:00:57.12
Yep. Okay, great.
00:00:57.15\00:00:58.92
Making sure I don't mess it up.
00:00:58.95\00:01:00.76
Yeah, so what made
you do this documentary
00:01:00.79\00:01:06.03
on the Black Panther?
00:01:06.06\00:01:08.33
Now, Dr. O is the brainchild
behind this whole episode.
00:01:08.36\00:01:12.00
Okay.
00:01:12.03\00:01:13.37
I'll let him speak
on that. Okay, good.
00:01:13.40\00:01:15.30
Um, shortly after the
Black Panther movie came out
00:01:15.34\00:01:18.67
at Oakwood University church,
00:01:18.71\00:01:20.38
they were having a 40
days of prayer for the campus.
00:01:20.41\00:01:22.81
And one of the
things they wanted to talk
00:01:22.84\00:01:24.51
about was this
movie the Black Panther,
00:01:24.55\00:01:25.95
since a lot of our students
00:01:25.98\00:01:27.38
and even some of our
faculty and staff saw it
00:01:27.42\00:01:29.85
and just others in
the black community,
00:01:29.88\00:01:31.22
and the black
Adventist community saw it,
00:01:31.25\00:01:33.56
she wanted a presentation on it
00:01:33.59\00:01:36.52
and so she called
me out of the blue
00:01:36.56\00:01:37.89
and said, "I think you'd
be the best person for it.
00:01:37.93\00:01:40.20
Can you come up with something?"
00:01:40.23\00:01:41.56
And I almost said no,
00:01:41.60\00:01:43.06
but I decided to do it and then,
00:01:43.10\00:01:45.53
one thing led to
another, and I put it together,
00:01:45.57\00:01:48.17
presented, started presenting
it in different venues
00:01:48.20\00:01:50.91
until I came to...
00:01:50.94\00:01:52.57
Can you hear me
now in the month of May
00:01:52.61\00:01:54.88
where I did a presentation of it
00:01:54.91\00:01:56.75
and Scott will tell
you the rest of the story.
00:01:56.78\00:01:58.95
I got to see this presentation
00:01:58.98\00:02:00.45
because I was at
the same conference
00:02:00.48\00:02:01.88
and, man, it just really,
00:02:01.92\00:02:04.89
you know, was an
excellent presentation
00:02:04.92\00:02:07.36
and we both kind of sat
down afterwards and we said,
00:02:07.39\00:02:09.99
we got to turn
this into a soul project
00:02:10.03\00:02:11.56
so what you're going to
see is a, as a, you know,
00:02:11.59\00:02:16.26
collaboration
together on that project.
00:02:16.30\00:02:18.63
He came up with all the content,
00:02:18.67\00:02:20.00
we put it
together in the edit room
00:02:20.04\00:02:22.17
so it was a lot of fun.
00:02:22.20\00:02:24.37
Nice. That's great.
00:02:24.41\00:02:25.74
Look at how God
orchestrates everything, right?
00:02:25.77\00:02:29.04
I mean, you didn't
know you were going to meet
00:02:29.08\00:02:32.11
and yet you did
00:02:32.15\00:02:33.48
and the Lord just
brought this together
00:02:33.52\00:02:35.88
in the Black Panther deception.
00:02:35.92\00:02:37.75
So let's take a look at it.
00:02:37.79\00:02:39.79
What does the Black Panther
and the enemy of our souls,
00:02:56.71\00:02:59.31
namely Lucifer have in common?
00:02:59.34\00:03:02.11
Get ready for the
Black Panther Deception.
00:03:02.14\00:03:05.91
We wanna give a disclaimer
00:03:37.15\00:03:38.48
before we get
into this documentary
00:03:38.51\00:03:40.32
that this is not an
invalidation of any culture,
00:03:40.35\00:03:44.12
namely the black culture.
00:03:44.15\00:03:45.85
This is mainly an invalidation
to Satanic principles
00:03:45.89\00:03:49.59
that are seeking
to deceive people,
00:03:49.62\00:03:51.09
not only of the black
race, but of the human race
00:03:51.13\00:03:53.86
as Satan is preparing
his last day deceptions
00:03:53.90\00:03:56.70
to deceive the
whole entire world.
00:03:56.73\00:03:59.03
Greetings, my name
is Dr. Isaac Olatunji,
00:03:59.07\00:04:01.70
professor of
religion at Oakwood University
00:04:01.74\00:04:03.94
and this is the
Black Panther Deception.
00:04:03.97\00:04:06.47
The Bible says that
00:04:06.51\00:04:07.84
"Man should not
live by bread alone,
00:04:07.88\00:04:09.21
but by every word
00:04:09.24\00:04:10.58
that proceedeth out
of the mouth of God."
00:04:10.61\00:04:12.41
In this documentary,
00:04:12.45\00:04:13.78
we're gonna
talk about this movie
00:04:13.82\00:04:15.18
that has blown all
kinds of records at the blue,
00:04:15.22\00:04:19.29
at the movies and all
over, and in the minds of men.
00:04:19.32\00:04:22.29
This movie, the Black
Panther, talks about a superhero
00:04:22.32\00:04:25.36
that many people of
the African-American,
00:04:25.39\00:04:27.43
the black community
have identified with.
00:04:27.46\00:04:30.13
What we wanna do
in this documentary?
00:04:30.17\00:04:32.13
We wanna give a Christian
perspective on this movie
00:04:32.17\00:04:35.40
so that we can make a
biblically informed choice.
00:04:35.44\00:04:37.97
For the Bible says that man
shall not live by bread alone,
00:04:38.01\00:04:40.68
but by every word that
proceedeth out of this book.
00:04:40.71\00:04:44.08
Our decisions in everything
must be measured by this book
00:04:44.11\00:04:49.08
called The Holy Bible,
00:04:49.12\00:04:50.45
for it came from
the mouth of God,
00:04:50.49\00:04:52.42
for in the
beginning was the Word
00:04:52.45\00:04:53.86
and the Word was with
God, and the Word was God.
00:04:53.89\00:04:56.96
And because we trust God,
00:04:56.99\00:04:58.63
whatever comes out of His mouth,
00:04:58.66\00:05:00.40
we trust and we
put it in our life.
00:05:00.43\00:05:02.60
So we talk
about this movie here,
00:05:02.63\00:05:04.63
the Black Panther.
00:05:04.67\00:05:06.00
We want to look at
it from the standpoint
00:05:06.03\00:05:07.37
of what Jesus says in
the Book of Matthew 24:4,
00:05:07.40\00:05:10.17
Jesus says, "Take heed
that no man deceive you."
00:05:10.21\00:05:14.51
Brothers and sisters, deception
is a very serious thing,
00:05:14.54\00:05:17.18
and as people are
talking about Wakanda forever.
00:05:17.21\00:05:20.12
Wakanda forever!
00:05:20.15\00:05:22.68
And glorifying
this fictional place
00:05:22.72\00:05:24.55
called Wakanda
00:05:24.59\00:05:25.92
and the superhero
called the Black Panther.
00:05:25.95\00:05:27.79
Brothers and sisters, we wanna
talk about something here that
00:05:27.82\00:05:31.29
I believe that is
inherent within every superhero,
00:05:31.33\00:05:34.06
this issue of power.
00:05:34.10\00:05:36.20
When we deal with power,
we think of three things,
00:05:36.23\00:05:38.90
we think of
authority, we think of strength,
00:05:38.93\00:05:42.37
and we think of control.
00:05:42.40\00:05:44.04
Remember that, authority,
strength, and control.
00:05:44.07\00:05:48.54
These are three
things that are inherent
00:05:48.58\00:05:50.21
in every superhero.
00:05:50.25\00:05:51.81
As a matter of fact, is inherent
00:05:51.85\00:05:53.82
when we talk
about the word power,
00:05:53.85\00:05:55.45
whether it's power as a boss,
00:05:55.48\00:05:57.19
or power as a parent,
or anything in between.
00:05:57.22\00:05:59.95
Authority, strength,
and control is inherent
00:05:59.99\00:06:02.76
in this word power.
00:06:02.79\00:06:04.36
But there is a question
that deserves a good answer,
00:06:04.39\00:06:07.50
when it comes to this
issue about superheroes
00:06:07.53\00:06:10.77
and we have to talk about this
00:06:10.80\00:06:12.37
when we talk
about the Black Panther.
00:06:12.40\00:06:14.44
The number one question that
needs to be answered is this.
00:06:14.47\00:06:16.77
What do superheroes depend upon
00:06:16.81\00:06:19.41
when battling
against the forces of evil
00:06:19.44\00:06:22.08
in their worlds?
00:06:22.11\00:06:24.85
"Allow the heart-shaped
herb to restore the powers
00:06:24.88\00:06:28.28
of the Black Panther."
00:06:28.32\00:06:30.42
And what I found out is
and if anybody is honest,
00:06:30.45\00:06:33.59
you will find out that usually
00:06:33.62\00:06:35.52
it is upon a supernatural power
other than the God of heaven.
00:06:35.56\00:06:40.50
"Oh my queen, said the
royal sorcerer to Hatshepsut,
00:06:44.80\00:06:48.70
with this amulet,
you and your descendants
00:06:48.74\00:06:51.31
are endowed by the goddess Isis,
00:06:51.34\00:06:53.71
with the powers of the
animals and the elements.
00:06:53.74\00:06:56.48
You will soar as
the falcon soars,
00:06:56.51\00:06:59.31
run with the speed of gazelles,
00:06:59.35\00:07:01.95
and command the
elements of sky and earth.
00:07:01.98\00:07:05.39
Three thousand years
later, a young science teacher
00:07:05.42\00:07:08.89
dug up this lost treasure
and found she was heir to,
00:07:08.92\00:07:12.89
the secrets of Isis
00:07:12.93\00:07:15.13
and so unknown to
even her closest friends,
00:07:15.16\00:07:18.33
Rick Mason and Cindy
Lee, she became a dual person,
00:07:18.37\00:07:23.24
Andrea Thomas teacher
00:07:23.27\00:07:26.37
and Isis, dedicated foe of evil,
00:07:26.41\00:07:30.21
defender of the weak,
00:07:30.25\00:07:32.15
champion of truth and justice."
00:07:32.18\00:07:37.82
And these superheroes
depend upon a supernatural power
00:07:37.85\00:07:40.99
which is not the
God of the Bible.
00:07:41.02\00:07:42.92
"Hello?"
00:07:45.36\00:07:48.20
"Say my name so my
powers may flow through you."
00:07:48.23\00:07:51.70
"But I don't
know your name, sir."
00:07:51.73\00:07:53.87
"Shazam." "Shazam!"
00:07:53.90\00:07:56.44
As you saw here, we see
here blatant spiritualism,
00:08:00.64\00:08:04.05
blatant witchcraft,
and you see Billy Batson,
00:08:04.08\00:08:07.05
the young Billy Batson
receiving power from a wizard,
00:08:07.08\00:08:10.19
but what does the
Bible say about wizards?
00:08:10.22\00:08:12.35
The Bible makes this very plain
in the Book of Leviticus 19:31,
00:08:12.39\00:08:16.52
that we're not to be defiled
by wizards to seek after them.
00:08:16.56\00:08:20.96
The Bible's blatant about this.
00:08:21.00\00:08:23.67
The Bible also says
in Isaiah Chapter 8,
00:08:23.70\00:08:26.20
the Bible makes it very plain,
00:08:26.23\00:08:28.27
"For when they
shall say unto you,
00:08:28.30\00:08:30.07
seek unto them that
have familiar spirits,
00:08:30.11\00:08:33.07
and unto wizards
that peep and that mutter,
00:08:33.11\00:08:35.58
should not a people
seek unto their God,
00:08:35.61\00:08:37.51
for the living to the dead?"
00:08:37.55\00:08:38.88
Instead of going
to wizards for power,
00:08:38.91\00:08:41.02
as you see human models
00:08:41.05\00:08:43.28
in the superhero
movies depend upon,
00:08:43.32\00:08:45.42
we should seek
for the power of God.
00:08:45.45\00:08:47.76
What does the Bible say?
00:08:47.79\00:08:49.12
We have to measure
everything by the Word.
00:08:49.16\00:08:50.83
For the Bible says in verse 20,
00:08:50.86\00:08:52.73
"And to the law
and to the testimony,
00:08:52.76\00:08:54.50
if they speak not
according to this word,
00:08:54.53\00:08:57.07
it is because there
is no light in them."
00:08:57.10\00:08:59.30
So as a Christian,
00:08:59.33\00:09:00.97
as a biblical
student of the Word,
00:09:01.00\00:09:03.94
I cannot subscribe
00:09:03.97\00:09:05.47
and you should not
subscribe to anything
00:09:05.51\00:09:08.04
that subscribe to getting power
00:09:08.08\00:09:09.41
from another power
outside of the living God.
00:09:09.44\00:09:13.15
And as you saw
in the clip on Isis,
00:09:13.18\00:09:15.62
what you will find out is that
00:09:15.65\00:09:16.99
Isis was part of
the Egyptian trinity.
00:09:17.02\00:09:19.49
Isis, Horus and Set
00:09:19.52\00:09:22.46
and that's very, very important.
00:09:22.49\00:09:24.46
And so as you look at it,
00:09:24.49\00:09:26.09
we gotta look at it
from a biblical standpoint
00:09:26.13\00:09:28.43
and this leads to the next thing
00:09:28.46\00:09:29.80
as we talk about
the Black Panther
00:09:29.83\00:09:31.97
because it's dealing
with black superheroes,
00:09:32.00\00:09:35.90
and black a cast,
and black representation.
00:09:35.94\00:09:39.01
A lot of people
are looking at it
00:09:39.04\00:09:41.04
from an empowerment standpoint,
00:09:41.08\00:09:43.01
but what I want
to share with you
00:09:43.04\00:09:44.38
is where the real
power source comes from?
00:09:44.41\00:09:46.31
In John 14:12,
Jesus makes it very plain,
00:09:46.35\00:09:50.22
"Verily, verily, I say unto you,
00:09:50.25\00:09:52.42
he that believeth on me,
00:09:52.45\00:09:53.79
the works that I
do shall he do also,
00:09:53.82\00:09:56.29
And greater works
than these shall he do,
00:09:56.32\00:09:58.29
because I go unto the Father."
00:09:58.33\00:10:00.50
Brothers and
sisters, we receive true,
00:10:00.53\00:10:02.10
supernatural power,
00:10:02.13\00:10:03.47
not calling upon Shazam or Isis,
00:10:03.50\00:10:05.30
or in any other
name, but one name,
00:10:05.33\00:10:08.14
and his name is Jesus Christ.
00:10:08.17\00:10:09.70
When we call upon Jesus,
00:10:09.74\00:10:11.34
we receive supernatural strength
00:10:11.37\00:10:12.71
to battle against the
forces of evil in this universe.
00:10:12.74\00:10:16.04
The Bible makes it very
plain, "That the weapons
00:10:16.08\00:10:18.51
of our warfare are not carnal,
00:10:18.55\00:10:20.52
but they are mighty through God
00:10:20.55\00:10:22.42
to the pulling
down of strongholds,
00:10:22.45\00:10:24.19
casting down imaginations,
and every high thing
00:10:24.22\00:10:26.69
that exalts itself
against the knowledge of God
00:10:26.72\00:10:28.72
and bring it into captivity,
00:10:28.76\00:10:31.06
every thought to the
obedience of Christ."
00:10:31.09\00:10:33.16
The real battle is
fought in the mind,
00:10:33.19\00:10:35.16
and we use the weapon
found in the Word of God
00:10:35.20\00:10:38.47
and faith in
prayer to bring down
00:10:38.50\00:10:40.84
all the strongholds
not only in our lives,
00:10:40.87\00:10:42.84
but in the lives
of every human being
00:10:42.87\00:10:44.61
upon this earth.
00:10:44.64\00:10:46.21
Where does the
true power come from?
00:10:46.24\00:10:47.81
We said, it came from Christ.
00:10:47.84\00:10:49.51
And in Luke 10:19,
the Bible plainly says,
00:10:49.54\00:10:53.55
"Behold, I give unto you
power to tread upon serpents
00:10:53.58\00:10:57.22
and upon scorpions,
00:10:57.25\00:10:58.59
and over all the
power of the enemy
00:10:58.62\00:11:00.96
and nothing shall
by any means hurt you."
00:11:00.99\00:11:04.36
We have the assurance that
00:11:04.39\00:11:05.73
when we call on
the name of Jesus,
00:11:05.76\00:11:07.46
Christ gives a
supernatural power.
00:11:07.50\00:11:10.67
As His disciples as we
fulfill this gospel commission
00:11:10.70\00:11:13.60
over all the power of the enemy.
00:11:13.64\00:11:16.81
And the Book of
Acts 1:8, the Bible says,
00:11:16.84\00:11:20.18
"For ye shall receive power,
00:11:20.21\00:11:22.04
after that the Holy
Ghost is come upon you."
00:11:22.08\00:11:25.18
And in Luke 11:13,
00:11:25.21\00:11:28.12
the Bible makes it very plain
00:11:28.15\00:11:29.48
that we receive the
Holy Spirit simply by asking.
00:11:29.52\00:11:32.45
So by asking for the
power of the Holy Spirit
00:11:32.49\00:11:35.86
and as Jesus said,
"Receive ye the Holy Ghost."
00:11:35.89\00:11:38.93
We receive supernatural power
00:11:38.96\00:11:40.90
to battle against
the forces of evil.
00:11:40.93\00:11:43.13
But these superheroes are
the counterfeit superheroes.
00:11:43.16\00:11:47.34
The real superheroes are those
who are connected with Christ
00:11:47.37\00:11:50.37
as we go forth in
the gospel commission
00:11:50.41\00:11:52.91
to help save people
from eternal damnation.
00:11:52.94\00:11:55.98
That's the reason why the
burden of this documentary
00:11:56.01\00:11:58.41
is not to fall for
the great deception,
00:11:58.45\00:12:01.28
for the Bible
makes it very plain
00:12:01.32\00:12:02.72
in the Book of 2
Thessalonians 2:9,
00:12:02.75\00:12:06.25
"Even him, whose coming
00:12:06.29\00:12:08.39
is after the working
of Satan with all power
00:12:08.42\00:12:12.06
and signs and lying wonders."
00:12:12.09\00:12:13.90
These superheroes
that you're looking at,
00:12:13.93\00:12:16.26
their displaying works,
signs, miracles, lying wonders,
00:12:16.30\00:12:20.27
battling evil per
Se, by using power
00:12:20.30\00:12:24.14
which originates
from the father of lies,
00:12:24.17\00:12:27.18
and this is
only but a precursor,
00:12:27.21\00:12:29.14
what's gonna happen worldwide.
00:12:29.18\00:12:31.41
And the Bible makes
it very plain that Satan
00:12:31.45\00:12:33.65
is gonna let all the batteries
of his deceptive power loose
00:12:33.68\00:12:38.15
and perform
miracles, signs and wonders
00:12:38.19\00:12:40.52
and sad to say,
many will be deceived.
00:12:40.56\00:12:43.73
This is very important.
00:12:43.76\00:12:45.33
So what we must do?
00:12:45.36\00:12:46.70
We must follow
biblical principles
00:12:46.73\00:12:48.06
when it comes to what we watch
and not just take anything,
00:12:48.10\00:12:51.23
rather it's white representation
00:12:51.27\00:12:52.83
or black representation
through superheroes.
00:12:52.87\00:12:55.27
The Bible says in the
Book of Philippians 4:8,
00:12:55.30\00:12:58.24
the Bible says,
"Finally my brethren,
00:12:58.27\00:13:00.81
whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are honest,
00:13:00.84\00:13:05.01
whatsoever things are just,
whatsoever things are pure,
00:13:05.05\00:13:09.48
whatsoever things are lovely,
00:13:09.52\00:13:11.45
if whatsoever
things are of good report,
00:13:11.49\00:13:14.32
if there be any virtue
and if there be any praise,
00:13:14.36\00:13:17.99
think on these things."
00:13:18.03\00:13:19.56
When you watch a movie,
00:13:19.59\00:13:20.93
we ponder and think
about what we watched,
00:13:20.96\00:13:23.43
and one of the things
we must understand is that
00:13:23.47\00:13:25.93
we must measure
everything by the Word of God.
00:13:25.97\00:13:28.47
Do we wanna
ponder and think about
00:13:28.50\00:13:30.51
how superheroes received
their power from the wizards
00:13:30.54\00:13:33.94
and powers outside of God,
00:13:33.98\00:13:36.31
or rather ponder on
how we can receive power
00:13:36.34\00:13:39.98
from the power source,
00:13:40.02\00:13:41.35
the true power
source and that is God.
00:13:41.38\00:13:43.99
When they
present a false reality,
00:13:44.02\00:13:45.75
it is not true,
00:13:45.79\00:13:47.42
and the Bible tells
us in Philippians 4:8,
00:13:47.46\00:13:49.79
whatsoever things are true.
00:13:49.82\00:13:52.49
And what you saw in these
Shazam and Isis of clipping,
00:13:52.53\00:13:56.30
what we will show it
to you in this documentary
00:13:56.33\00:13:58.53
with the Black Panther is
that we see pagan idolatry,
00:13:58.57\00:14:02.07
we see witchcraft at work,
which the Bible calls a sin.
00:14:02.10\00:14:06.74
The Bible says in
the Book of Psalms 101:3,
00:14:06.78\00:14:09.84
you have to measure everything
you watch by the word,
00:14:09.88\00:14:12.35
the Bible says, "I
will set no wicked thing
00:14:12.38\00:14:15.28
before my eyes."
00:14:15.32\00:14:16.99
And according to the
Bible, 1 Samuel 15:23,
00:14:17.02\00:14:20.46
tells us that witchcraft
is a sin in its wickedness.
00:14:20.49\00:14:25.56
Why?
00:14:25.59\00:14:26.93
Because its power
sourcing is a power source
00:14:26.96\00:14:29.96
and the workers of his power
00:14:30.00\00:14:31.60
come from another
source other than God.
00:14:31.63\00:14:33.64
And when you have
superheroes and human beings,
00:14:33.67\00:14:36.57
the movie
scripts, and playwright
00:14:36.60\00:14:39.91
teach the lesson
that you can receive power
00:14:39.94\00:14:41.94
outside of Christ to save evil
00:14:41.98\00:14:43.91
or to battle
against the forces of evil,
00:14:43.95\00:14:45.88
then we have a problem.
00:14:45.91\00:14:48.62
"I hated drawing power
from the Dark Dimension.
00:14:48.65\00:14:51.85
But as you well know,
00:14:51.89\00:14:53.22
sometimes one
must break the rules
00:14:53.25\00:14:55.32
in order to serve
the greater good."
00:14:55.36\00:14:57.19
The Bible says, "I
hate the work of them
00:14:57.23\00:14:59.09
that turn aside,
00:14:59.13\00:15:00.66
it shall not
cleave unto me," why?
00:15:00.70\00:15:02.83
Because by
beholding, we become change.
00:15:02.86\00:15:05.17
We got to be very careful
00:15:05.20\00:15:06.53
because our minds
can adapt ourselves
00:15:06.57\00:15:08.70
to the things that we watch.
00:15:08.74\00:15:10.27
The Bible makes it very plain,
00:15:10.31\00:15:11.97
"That he that worketh deceit
00:15:12.01\00:15:13.34
shall not dwell
within our house,
00:15:13.38\00:15:15.08
and he that telleth lie
shall not tarry in my sight."
00:15:15.11\00:15:18.31
Could it be
00:15:18.35\00:15:19.68
that the superhero movies
and this movie Black Panther
00:15:19.71\00:15:23.82
be promoting a false reality
thereby telling lies before us.
00:15:23.85\00:15:29.69
Let's go to the
story of the Black Panther.
00:15:29.72\00:15:34.03
As for those who
watched the movie,
00:15:34.06\00:15:35.90
the movie Black
Panther is centered in a nation
00:15:35.93\00:15:38.73
called Wakanda, as you will see
00:15:38.77\00:15:41.80
that there's
paraphernalia out there
00:15:41.84\00:15:43.81
such as straight out of
Wakanda and glorifying Wakanda.
00:15:43.84\00:15:47.94
And there is an
article that came out
00:15:47.98\00:15:50.18
recently in the New York
Times of February 12, 2018,
00:15:50.21\00:15:54.72
before the movie
Black Panther came out.
00:15:54.75\00:15:57.09
The name of the article is
simply "Why 'Black Panther'
00:15:57.12\00:15:59.89
is a defining
moment for Black America."
00:15:59.92\00:16:02.92
And this goes into something
that we really need to cover.
00:16:02.96\00:16:05.83
It says, "Ryan Coogler's
film is a vivid re-imagination
00:16:05.86\00:16:09.33
of something black Americans
have cherished for centuries.
00:16:09.36\00:16:12.13
Africa as a
dream of our wholeness,
00:16:12.17\00:16:14.24
greatness and self-realization."
00:16:14.27\00:16:16.37
And from the standpoint, I
do understand psychologically
00:16:16.40\00:16:19.54
and emotionally why people
00:16:19.57\00:16:21.84
of
African-American race identify
00:16:21.88\00:16:24.51
with the Black
Panther and champion it.
00:16:24.55\00:16:27.45
Why?
00:16:27.48\00:16:28.82
Because it describes Africa
00:16:28.85\00:16:30.42
as something that
we as blacks desire
00:16:30.45\00:16:34.16
to have in this
world and in this country.
00:16:34.19\00:16:37.13
Because of colonialism, slavery,
00:16:37.16\00:16:39.19
Jim Crow, and oppression,
00:16:39.23\00:16:40.96
blacks have had it
very, very hard in this world.
00:16:41.00\00:16:45.00
And so when you have a movie
00:16:45.03\00:16:46.67
that deals with
black representation,
00:16:46.70\00:16:48.77
black empowerment, we
immediately flock to it.
00:16:48.80\00:16:51.91
The article says, "Superheroes
are powerful and beloved,
00:16:51.94\00:16:56.28
held in high esteem
by society at large.
00:16:56.31\00:16:59.78
The idea that a
normal black person
00:16:59.81\00:17:01.82
could experience such a thing
in America was so farfetched
00:17:01.85\00:17:05.72
as to effectively
constitute gallows humor."
00:17:05.75\00:17:09.79
Blade, released in 1998,
00:17:09.82\00:17:11.86
featured Wesley Snipes
as a Marvel, vampire hunter
00:17:11.89\00:17:15.43
and Hancock 2008,
00:17:15.46\00:17:17.27
depicted Will
Smith a slacker anti-hero
00:17:17.30\00:17:21.94
but in each case,
00:17:21.97\00:17:23.30
the actor's blackness somewhat
seem somewhat incidental,
00:17:23.34\00:17:27.91
but Black Panther by contrast
is steeped very specifically
00:17:27.94\00:17:32.65
and purposely in its blackness.
00:17:32.68\00:17:36.82
"It's the first
time in a very long time
00:17:36.85\00:17:39.09
that we're seeing in a
film with centered black people,
00:17:39.12\00:17:42.22
where we have a lot of
agency" says Jamie Broadnax,
00:17:42.26\00:17:44.99
the founder of Black Girl Nerds,
00:17:45.03\00:17:47.20
a pop culture
site focused on sci-fi,
00:17:47.23\00:17:49.86
and comic-book fandoms.
00:17:49.90\00:17:51.77
These characters she
notes, "are rules of a kingdom,
00:17:51.80\00:17:54.64
inventors and creators
of advanced technology.
00:17:54.67\00:17:57.91
We're not
dealing with black pains,
00:17:57.94\00:17:59.87
suffering and poverty,
00:17:59.91\00:18:01.54
the usual topics
of acclaimed movies
00:18:01.58\00:18:03.71
about the black
experience on whole."
00:18:03.75\00:18:06.31
And so, from that standpoint,
it's very understandable
00:18:06.35\00:18:09.62
why many people are promoting it
00:18:09.65\00:18:13.42
and patronizing it,
but as a black person
00:18:13.46\00:18:17.16
that happens to be a
Bible believing Christian,
00:18:17.19\00:18:19.66
I have to measure
it by the Word of God,
00:18:19.69\00:18:21.80
and we have to deal with it
00:18:21.83\00:18:23.20
because we don't want to
fall for the great deception.
00:18:23.23\00:18:26.33
What we must
understand is going back
00:18:26.37\00:18:28.14
into biblical times.
00:18:28.17\00:18:29.84
We want to talk
about some world paradigms,
00:18:29.87\00:18:32.81
very important
00:18:32.84\00:18:34.18
so that we can be
able to decipher this.
00:18:34.21\00:18:36.85
Which you must
understand is that
00:18:36.88\00:18:38.21
God called the
children of Israel out of Egypt,
00:18:38.25\00:18:41.42
and God through His
servant Moses told the Pharaoh,
00:18:41.45\00:18:44.75
"Let My people go
that they may serve Me."
00:18:44.79\00:18:47.92
And Pharaoh was the god
of Egypt, in human form.
00:18:47.96\00:18:52.23
And notice that if you
read the Bible carefully,
00:18:52.26\00:18:56.30
these were Egyptians
00:18:56.33\00:18:57.80
and the
Egyptians were sons of Ham
00:18:57.83\00:18:59.87
and Egyptian hieroglyphs,
00:18:59.90\00:19:01.37
and it's very
much common knowledge
00:19:01.40\00:19:03.10
that the Egyptians
were people of black skin.
00:19:03.14\00:19:05.74
This was a black nation.
00:19:05.77\00:19:07.78
A black nation of pagans
00:19:07.81\00:19:09.44
who did not served
the true and only God,
00:19:09.48\00:19:11.65
centered in a
man called Pharaoh.
00:19:11.68\00:19:15.32
For when God dealt
with the Egyptians,
00:19:15.35\00:19:18.92
He wasn't looking at the
fact that these were black folk,
00:19:18.95\00:19:21.52
and well, I'm
gonna have mercy on them.
00:19:21.56\00:19:23.53
Oh, no, they were
enslavers of His people
00:19:23.56\00:19:26.76
and so God dealt
with the Pharaoh.
00:19:26.80\00:19:29.30
So when God brought
the children of Israel
00:19:29.33\00:19:30.87
out of Egypt,
00:19:30.90\00:19:32.23
He was bringing them
out of humanistic living,
00:19:32.27\00:19:34.07
which was
centered in the Pharaoh.
00:19:34.10\00:19:35.67
And when He brought them
out of Egypt and to Himself,
00:19:35.70\00:19:39.71
and when He gave them
His laws on Mount Sinai,
00:19:39.74\00:19:42.11
He was bringing them
into a theory or philosophy,
00:19:42.14\00:19:45.45
or theology
called "Yahweh" centrism
00:19:45.48\00:19:47.98
which is centered
always in God's Word,
00:19:48.02\00:19:50.62
which leads to prophetic living.
00:19:50.65\00:19:53.22
And, brothers and
sisters, that is very important
00:19:53.25\00:19:55.69
as we talk
about this movie, why?
00:19:55.72\00:19:58.19
Because we're dealing with
the thing today in society,
00:19:58.23\00:20:02.16
dealing with Eurocentrism.
00:20:02.20\00:20:04.27
Descendants of African descent
00:20:04.30\00:20:06.94
know very well
about Eurocentrism.
00:20:06.97\00:20:09.74
Eurocentrism is
centered in the white man
00:20:09.77\00:20:12.84
which leads to
humanistic living.
00:20:12.87\00:20:14.84
But one thing about
the Black Panther movie
00:20:14.88\00:20:17.75
as it relates to
apparently all superheroes,
00:20:17.78\00:20:21.18
depending upon a
power outside of God
00:20:21.22\00:20:24.35
is always humanistic to
where we must understand
00:20:24.39\00:20:28.69
what we're dealing with.
00:20:28.72\00:20:30.06
We're dealing with a
thing called Afrocentrism,
00:20:30.09\00:20:32.73
which is
centered in the black man
00:20:32.76\00:20:36.30
which leads to
humanistic living.
00:20:36.33\00:20:39.43
And I'm here to tell you
00:20:39.47\00:20:40.94
that the Black Panther is
a humanistic, spiritualistic
00:20:40.97\00:20:45.51
version of a denial of
the Lordship of our Lord
00:20:45.54\00:20:49.68
and Savior Jesus Christ.
00:20:49.71\00:20:51.85
And with that,
there's three questions
00:20:51.88\00:20:53.95
that must be answered
00:20:53.98\00:20:56.12
in order to validate this point.
00:20:56.15\00:20:57.95
Number one, who is
the god of Wakanda?
00:20:57.99\00:21:01.39
Number two, how
does the Black Panther
00:21:01.42\00:21:03.43
receive his power?
00:21:03.46\00:21:05.23
And number three,
are the spiritualistic
00:21:05.26\00:21:07.46
and witchcraft undertones
in the Black Panther movie?
00:21:07.50\00:21:11.03
These three
questions need to be answered.
00:21:11.07\00:21:13.30
And when these
questions are answered,
00:21:13.34\00:21:15.10
it will give us a biblical basis
00:21:15.14\00:21:17.77
to make an informed choice
00:21:17.81\00:21:19.51
on the
suitableness of watching this
00:21:19.54\00:21:22.01
or any other Black Panther movie
00:21:22.04\00:21:23.91
that can come out in the future.
00:21:23.95\00:21:26.01
And so in doing
my research on this,
00:21:26.05\00:21:29.15
I found out that
the god of Wakanda,
00:21:29.18\00:21:33.56
the nation of
Wakanda is the cat god Bast.
00:21:33.59\00:21:37.56
It says here, "I am
Bast, cat god of Egypt,
00:21:37.59\00:21:41.96
panther god of Wakanda.
00:21:42.00\00:21:44.73
And in Marvel wiki,
it makes it very plain
00:21:44.77\00:21:47.14
that the Panther
cult is the state religion
00:21:47.17\00:21:49.24
of the African
nation of Wakanda.
00:21:49.27\00:21:51.77
And that's very interesting
00:21:51.81\00:21:53.14
because the Bible
makes it very plain that,
00:21:53.17\00:21:54.51
"We shall have no
other gods before Him."
00:21:54.54\00:21:56.58
So we are to reject
the gods of any nation
00:21:56.61\00:21:59.71
whether it's Egypt or Wakanda.
00:21:59.75\00:22:02.18
And what does the Bible say?
00:22:02.22\00:22:03.55
The Bible says in the
Book of Leviticus 20:26,
00:22:03.59\00:22:08.29
"And ye should be holy unto me,
00:22:08.32\00:22:10.53
for I the Lord am holy,
00:22:10.56\00:22:12.69
and have severed
you from other people,
00:22:12.73\00:22:15.06
that ye should be mine."
00:22:15.10\00:22:16.70
God has severed His
children from other nations
00:22:16.73\00:22:20.64
that were worshiping
other gods to serve Him
00:22:20.67\00:22:23.57
and then in the next
verse He says in verse 27,
00:22:23.61\00:22:26.44
"A man also or a woman
that hath a familiar spirit,
00:22:26.47\00:22:30.21
or that is a wizard,
shall surely be put to death."
00:22:30.25\00:22:33.62
So God was very
serious about contacting
00:22:33.65\00:22:36.45
and being in contact with those
00:22:36.48\00:22:37.99
who are dealing with demonic
spirits to receive power.
00:22:38.02\00:22:41.29
So based on the
Bible, just on that point
00:22:41.32\00:22:44.16
understanding
that the cat God Bast
00:22:44.19\00:22:47.86
was the state religion
or the god of the Wakandans,
00:22:47.90\00:22:52.17
on that point alone I
reject the Black Panther
00:22:52.20\00:22:55.50
and based on the Bible
00:22:55.54\00:22:57.21
no one who believes in
the Bible for this time,
00:22:57.24\00:22:59.61
no one who believes
the truth for this time
00:22:59.64\00:23:01.68
should patronize such
a movie and philosophy.
00:23:01.71\00:23:07.85
The religion,
00:23:07.88\00:23:10.52
the Wakandans have
ties to the African gods
00:23:10.55\00:23:13.15
known as the Ennead or Osiris.
00:23:13.19\00:23:16.49
Ancient beings who
visited earth centuries ago,
00:23:16.52\00:23:19.33
they were wildly
worshiped in Egypt,
00:23:19.36\00:23:21.90
but had ties to
other regions of Africa,
00:23:21.93\00:23:25.83
and that's also
from Marvel wiki.
00:23:25.87\00:23:27.77
So we see here
that the religion,
00:23:27.80\00:23:29.84
the state religion,
00:23:29.87\00:23:31.21
the gods of the Wakandans
is not the gods of the Bible,
00:23:31.24\00:23:34.64
the very gods which
Jesus through His Holy Spirit
00:23:34.68\00:23:38.01
through His servant
Moses told us to reject.
00:23:38.05\00:23:41.38
And one of the cities of Wakanda
00:23:41.42\00:23:43.55
'cause Wakanda is a nation,
00:23:43.59\00:23:44.95
in order to have a
nation you must have cities.
00:23:44.99\00:23:47.26
One of the
cities of the Wakandans
00:23:47.29\00:23:51.36
is the city called Necropolis,
00:23:51.39\00:23:54.16
and we look at
the word Necropolis.
00:23:54.20\00:23:56.03
Polis means
city, necro means dead.
00:23:56.06\00:23:58.57
So necropolis is
simply the city of the dead.
00:23:58.60\00:24:01.94
Necropolis, the
Wakandan city of the dead
00:24:01.97\00:24:04.84
where black panthers go to die.
00:24:04.87\00:24:07.01
Where you will rule
as king of the dead,
00:24:07.04\00:24:10.61
every Black
Panther that's ever lived,
00:24:10.65\00:24:12.68
their strength, their
knowledge is now yours.
00:24:12.71\00:24:15.12
Every battle fought,
every battle won unbeaten,
00:24:15.15\00:24:18.15
unbroken a crown
of the unconquered,
00:24:18.19\00:24:20.66
a king of kings my
champion, my Black Panther.
00:24:20.69\00:24:24.96
The Bible tells us that
Jesus is the King of kings,
00:24:24.99\00:24:28.60
and the Bible
makes it very plain
00:24:28.63\00:24:30.77
that Jesus is the King
00:24:30.80\00:24:32.67
and will be the
King of this earth.
00:24:32.70\00:24:36.04
So this city of
the dead, Necropolis
00:24:36.07\00:24:38.67
and as you see the Black Panther
00:24:38.71\00:24:40.28
talking to the
spirits of the dead.
00:24:40.31\00:24:42.74
It says so I seek your counsel
honored fathers, warriors,
00:24:42.78\00:24:46.78
and priest, Black Panthers all,
00:24:46.82\00:24:49.28
but what does the Bible tell us?
00:24:49.32\00:24:50.89
The Bible tells us in the
Book of Ecclesiastes Chapter 9,
00:24:50.92\00:24:53.96
that "The dead do
not know anything."
00:24:53.99\00:24:56.73
The Bible makes it very
plain in the Book of Job 7:9-10,
00:24:56.76\00:25:01.86
that "Those that
go down to the grave
00:25:01.90\00:25:04.50
do not come back anymore
00:25:04.53\00:25:05.97
and they return no
more to talk to anybody
00:25:06.00\00:25:09.20
in their homes
or in their houses."
00:25:09.24\00:25:11.47
So based on the Bible,
the Bible makes it very plain
00:25:11.51\00:25:14.18
that those that
are dead are dead,
00:25:14.21\00:25:16.54
they did not come
back to contact the living.
00:25:16.58\00:25:19.11
In the Book of
Deuteronomy Chapter 18,
00:25:19.15\00:25:21.48
the Bible makes
it very plain that
00:25:21.52\00:25:24.02
"We are not to be defiled
by those who are necromancers."
00:25:24.05\00:25:27.72
And a necromancer is
someone who speaks to the dead.
00:25:27.76\00:25:31.96
And we see here this superhero,
00:25:31.99\00:25:33.60
the Black Panther widely revered
00:25:33.63\00:25:35.83
and esteemed by the world is,
00:25:35.86\00:25:38.17
he speaking to the
spirits of the dead.
00:25:38.20\00:25:40.77
In this next comic book strip,
00:25:40.80\00:25:42.67
it says here he's sitting
around the Black Panthers,
00:25:42.70\00:25:45.77
these other Black
Panthers in the past
00:25:45.81\00:25:48.11
that have died and
have gone to the ancestors,
00:25:48.14\00:25:50.65
as they say in folklore
00:25:50.68\00:25:52.71
and it says here the
Black Panther's saying,
00:25:52.75\00:25:55.08
"Honored
fathers, mighty warriors,
00:25:55.12\00:25:57.32
fearsome priests,
Black Panthers all...
00:25:57.35\00:25:59.62
In the name of Bast,"
not in the name of Jesus
00:25:59.65\00:26:02.92
but in the name of a
false god, in the name of Bast,
00:26:02.96\00:26:05.89
"I call upon you to counsel."
00:26:05.93\00:26:08.16
Hold on, based on the scriptures
00:26:08.20\00:26:10.40
the Bible says "In all
thy ways acknowledge Him,
00:26:10.43\00:26:14.34
and He shall direct thy paths."
00:26:14.37\00:26:16.54
Proverbs 3:6.
00:26:16.57\00:26:19.37
So we see here contradiction,
a biblical contradiction.
00:26:19.41\00:26:22.04
Where is he
getting his power from?
00:26:22.08\00:26:23.68
Who is he
getting his wisdom from?
00:26:23.71\00:26:25.28
He's not getting it
00:26:25.31\00:26:26.65
from the so called
spirits of the dead
00:26:26.68\00:26:28.52
which were
ancestors that have once lived
00:26:28.55\00:26:30.62
and are now living.
00:26:30.65\00:26:31.99
He got them from
the spirits of devils.
00:26:32.02\00:26:36.76
Satan has the
power to personally
00:26:36.79\00:26:39.53
or come in the
form of dead loved ones.
00:26:39.56\00:26:41.93
In the Book of 1
Samuel Chapter 28,
00:26:41.96\00:26:44.27
we see King Saul
asking the witch of Endor,
00:26:44.30\00:26:46.87
to bring up Samuel who had died
00:26:46.90\00:26:49.00
and we see that the
devil personates Samuel,
00:26:49.04\00:26:53.84
speaks some back and forth.
00:26:53.88\00:26:55.68
And, brothers and sisters,
the Bible calls that a sin,
00:26:55.71\00:26:58.81
the Bible called that forbidden.
00:26:58.85\00:27:00.62
But we know based on the Bible,
00:27:00.65\00:27:01.98
it was not Samuel
who he was speaking to
00:27:02.02\00:27:04.05
but it was
simply a demonic spirit
00:27:04.09\00:27:05.59
personating Samuel.
00:27:05.62\00:27:07.86
And in 1 Chronicles 10:13-14,
00:27:07.89\00:27:12.29
the Bible makes it very plain
00:27:12.33\00:27:14.30
that God's slew him
for connecting himself
00:27:14.33\00:27:17.67
with the familiar spirits.
00:27:17.70\00:27:19.03
And so we've to be very careful
00:27:19.07\00:27:20.60
about dealing with
the spirits of the dead.
00:27:20.64\00:27:23.51
So, brothers and sisters,
00:27:23.54\00:27:24.87
this Black Panther
superhero is connecting himself
00:27:24.91\00:27:27.64
with
spiritualistic demonic spirits
00:27:27.68\00:27:30.61
to receive
counsel and with that,
00:27:30.65\00:27:33.25
so let's deal
with this issue about
00:27:33.28\00:27:36.22
where does the Black
Panther receive his power?
00:27:36.25\00:27:38.75
And when you look at the
first scene of this movie
00:27:38.79\00:27:42.62
as we're gonna show
you in just a few...
00:27:42.66\00:27:45.73
This gives you
everything that you need to know
00:27:45.76\00:27:48.00
from a biblical standpoint
00:27:48.03\00:27:49.36
of where the Black
Panther receives his power.
00:27:49.40\00:27:55.07
"Baba..."
00:27:55.10\00:27:56.44
"Yes my son."
00:27:56.47\00:27:57.81
"Tell me a story."
00:27:57.84\00:28:00.31
"Which one?"
00:28:00.34\00:28:01.78
"The story of home."
00:28:01.81\00:28:04.85
"Millions of years ago a
meteorite made of Vibranium,
00:28:04.88\00:28:10.12
the strongest
substance in the universe
00:28:10.15\00:28:12.99
struck the continent of Africa,
00:28:13.02\00:28:16.93
affecting the
plant life around it.
00:28:16.96\00:28:19.93
And when the time of men came,
00:28:19.96\00:28:22.03
five tribes settled on
it and called it Wakanda.
00:28:22.06\00:28:28.67
The tribes lived in constant war
00:28:28.70\00:28:30.71
with each other
until a warrior Shaman
00:28:30.74\00:28:33.64
received a vision from
the Panther goddess Bast
00:28:33.68\00:28:36.75
who led him to
the heart-shaped herb,
00:28:36.78\00:28:40.52
a plant that granted
him superhuman strength,
00:28:40.55\00:28:43.92
speed and instincts.
00:28:43.95\00:28:46.49
The warrior became king
and their first Black Panther,
00:28:46.52\00:28:50.46
the protector of Wakanda.
00:28:50.49\00:28:53.56
Four tribes agreed to
live under the king's rule,
00:28:53.60\00:28:56.46
but the Jabari
tribe isolated themselves
00:28:56.50\00:28:59.53
in the mountains.
00:28:59.57\00:29:01.60
The Wakandans used
vibranium to develop technology
00:29:01.64\00:29:05.01
more advanced
than any other nation.
00:29:05.04\00:29:08.31
But as Wakanda
thrived, the world around it
00:29:08.34\00:29:11.01
descended further into chaos.
00:29:11.05\00:29:13.21
To keep vibranium safe,
00:29:17.39\00:29:18.95
the Wakandans vowed
to hide in plain sight,
00:29:18.99\00:29:22.92
keeping the truth of their power
00:29:22.96\00:29:24.86
from the outside world."
00:29:24.89\00:29:28.36
"And we still hide, Baba?"
00:29:28.40\00:29:31.37
"Yes."
00:29:31.40\00:29:32.73
In this scene, you see
00:29:32.77\00:29:34.24
where the Black
Panther receives his power.
00:29:34.27\00:29:36.54
First of all, the first
Black Panther was a Shaman.
00:29:36.57\00:29:39.67
And we'll define
what a Shaman is later on.
00:29:39.71\00:29:42.61
And as you see, he had a vision,
00:29:42.64\00:29:44.61
the prophetic
vision where he had,
00:29:44.65\00:29:46.72
where he saw the cat god Bast,
which we know is a false god,
00:29:46.75\00:29:50.72
which we know is
really the devil,
00:29:50.75\00:29:52.42
and he leads him to
go to a heart-shaped herb
00:29:52.45\00:29:56.46
and to eat it to receive power.
00:29:56.49\00:29:59.09
Now based on the
Bible, where's the last time
00:29:59.13\00:30:01.80
or the first time you see
00:30:01.83\00:30:03.26
an animal
speaking to a human being
00:30:03.30\00:30:05.17
to eat something
to receive power?
00:30:05.20\00:30:07.50
We know very well what
it is. When the devil...
00:30:07.54\00:30:11.91
And he possessed a serpent,
00:30:11.94\00:30:13.27
spoke through the
serpent and told Eve
00:30:13.31\00:30:16.18
that if you eat of the
fruit, you will become like God,
00:30:16.21\00:30:20.05
and we know the
rest of the story.
00:30:20.08\00:30:23.82
And so we see
that the Black Panther
00:30:23.85\00:30:26.32
receives his power,
really from the devil.
00:30:26.35\00:30:29.16
His inspiration
from a false god,
00:30:29.19\00:30:32.03
and brothers and sisters,
00:30:32.06\00:30:33.50
this represents
the enemy of our souls.
00:30:33.53\00:30:36.60
But more than that,
let's go to another scene.
00:30:36.63\00:30:40.27
Now, in this scene we see
the Shaman Zuri in this movie,
00:30:40.30\00:30:45.37
dealing with the Black
Panther receiving power,
00:30:45.41\00:30:48.58
the heart-shaped herb
00:30:48.61\00:30:49.94
going into the
Black Panther but notice,
00:30:49.98\00:30:52.51
he calls upon the
Black Panther's father
00:30:52.55\00:30:56.69
to come to his son.
00:30:56.72\00:30:58.65
Now...
00:30:58.69\00:31:01.99
"Allow the heart-shaped
herb to restore the powers
00:31:02.02\00:31:05.63
of the Black Panther
00:31:05.66\00:31:08.00
and take you to
the ancestral plane.
00:31:08.03\00:31:10.83
T'Chaka, we call on you.
00:31:14.80\00:31:19.04
Come here to your son."
00:31:19.07\00:31:23.24
Who is this T'Chaka
that has to come to his son?
00:31:23.28\00:31:29.25
He was the former Black Panther,
00:31:29.28\00:31:31.02
the father of this Black Panther
00:31:31.05\00:31:32.79
who had passed away.
00:31:32.82\00:31:34.36
And in the next scene
we're gonna show you a scene
00:31:34.39\00:31:37.36
where the Black
Panther's mother,
00:31:37.39\00:31:39.49
which was starred
by Angela Bassett,
00:31:39.53\00:31:42.56
calls upon the cat
god Bast to heal her son,
00:31:42.60\00:31:47.27
and then you see a transition
00:31:47.30\00:31:48.74
to where he is speaking
to his father in this movie
00:31:48.77\00:31:53.04
but the problem
is, his father is dead.
00:31:53.07\00:31:56.04
And the Bible
makes it very plain
00:31:56.08\00:31:57.75
that the dead cannot
talk with the living,
00:31:57.78\00:32:00.12
which is a blatant
misrepresentation of truth
00:32:00.15\00:32:03.79
and blatant disregard
of biblical principle.
00:32:03.82\00:32:06.55
"One of our fisherman found him
00:32:06.59\00:32:08.12
at the edge of the river border.
00:32:08.16\00:32:10.03
He brought him to me."
00:32:10.06\00:32:11.39
"Why do you have
him in the snow?"
00:32:11.43\00:32:12.79
"It is the only
thing keeping him
00:32:12.83\00:32:14.16
from joining the ancestors."
00:32:14.20\00:32:15.66
"We need to get him to my
lab. I can heal him there."
00:32:15.70\00:32:18.17
"Take him. He'll
be dead in seconds."
00:32:18.20\00:32:21.70
"Nakia, the herb.
00:32:21.74\00:32:23.24
I call upon the
ancestors. I call upon Bast.
00:32:40.12\00:32:45.33
I'm here with my son, T'Challa.
00:32:45.36\00:32:49.06
Heal him.
00:32:49.10\00:32:50.43
We must bury him.
Cover him. Cover him."
00:33:02.48\00:33:05.41
"Wake up, T'Challa. Wake up."
00:33:27.44\00:33:31.84
"The time has come
for you to come home
00:33:41.78\00:33:44.92
and be reunited with me."
00:33:44.95\00:33:46.79
"Why didn't you
bring the boy home?
00:34:01.87\00:34:06.81
Why Baba?"
00:34:06.84\00:34:09.98
"He...
00:34:10.01\00:34:12.31
He was the truth
I chose to omit."
00:34:12.35\00:34:16.62
"You are wrong to abandon him."
00:34:16.65\00:34:19.25
"I chose my people.
00:34:19.29\00:34:22.26
I chose Wakanda.
00:34:22.29\00:34:24.83
Our future depended..."
00:34:24.86\00:34:26.80
"You were wrong!
00:34:26.83\00:34:28.90
All of you were wrong
00:34:28.93\00:34:31.93
to turn your backs on
the rest of the world.
00:34:31.97\00:34:36.74
We let the fear of
our discovery stop us
00:34:36.77\00:34:39.44
from doing what is right!
00:34:39.47\00:34:42.68
No more!
00:34:42.71\00:34:44.21
I cannot stay here with you.
00:34:47.78\00:34:53.46
I cannot rest while
he sits on the throne.
00:34:53.49\00:34:58.26
He's a monster
of our own making.
00:34:58.29\00:35:02.96
I must take the
mantle back, I must.
00:35:03.00\00:35:08.34
I must right these wrongs.
00:35:08.37\00:35:10.81
Do you have a blanket?"
00:35:21.98\00:35:23.82
You see the son
T'Challa, the Black Panther,
00:35:23.85\00:35:29.46
speaking to his dead father
00:35:29.49\00:35:32.86
and as you see
in the background,
00:35:32.89\00:35:34.23
you see other ancestors
00:35:34.26\00:35:35.76
and what do you
see in the background?
00:35:35.80\00:35:37.90
You see a Black Panther.
00:35:37.93\00:35:40.47
Brothers and sisters,
this is purely spiritualistic,
00:35:40.50\00:35:43.97
this is demonic,
this is purely satanic,
00:35:44.01\00:35:47.18
this is witchcraft.
00:35:47.21\00:35:48.74
And, brothers and
sisters, based on the Bible,
00:35:48.78\00:35:51.81
this answers the third question
00:35:51.85\00:35:53.72
that there are spiritualistic
00:35:53.75\00:35:55.08
and witchcraft
overtones in this movie,
00:35:55.12\00:35:58.09
the Black Panther.
00:35:58.12\00:35:59.92
The Bible says in
the Book of Exodus 23:13,
00:35:59.95\00:36:03.79
the Bible says,
00:36:03.83\00:36:05.16
"And in all things
00:36:05.19\00:36:06.53
that I have said
unto you be circumspect:
00:36:06.56\00:36:09.26
and make no mention of
the name of other gods,
00:36:09.30\00:36:14.30
neither let it be
heard out of thy mouth."
00:36:14.34\00:36:17.51
Now, if we're
gonna obey the Bible,
00:36:17.54\00:36:20.54
based upon this
scripture right here,
00:36:20.58\00:36:22.98
we shouldn't call on
Bast or the Black Panther.
00:36:23.01\00:36:27.02
Where the Black Panther
and Bast are connected together
00:36:27.05\00:36:31.42
with the heart-shaped herb.
00:36:31.45\00:36:33.49
The Christian
Standard Bible says,
00:36:33.52\00:36:35.19
pay strict
attention to everything
00:36:35.22\00:36:36.83
I have said to you,
00:36:36.86\00:36:39.06
you must not invoke
the name of other gods,
00:36:39.09\00:36:42.10
they must not be
heard upon your lips.
00:36:42.13\00:36:44.87
God was very serious about it,
00:36:44.90\00:36:46.43
because when God
brought the children
00:36:46.47\00:36:48.24
of Israel out of Egypt,
00:36:48.27\00:36:49.60
He was leading
into the land of Canaan.
00:36:49.64\00:36:51.37
In the land of Canaan,
00:36:51.41\00:36:52.74
the Canaanites serve other gods,
00:36:52.77\00:36:54.54
just like the Egyptians did.
00:36:54.58\00:36:55.98
As a matter of fact, the
whole world was paganised,
00:36:56.01\00:36:58.71
and God said,
"I am the true God,
00:36:58.75\00:37:00.85
don't make any mention
of names of any other gods,
00:37:00.88\00:37:03.18
whether they be in Egypt,
or whether they be in Canaan."
00:37:03.22\00:37:05.92
And, brothers and sisters,
00:37:05.95\00:37:07.42
this movie the Black Panther
is glorifying the very thing
00:37:07.46\00:37:10.33
that the Bible says
that we should not champion.
00:37:10.36\00:37:14.03
And this is the reason
why we must follow the Bible.
00:37:14.06\00:37:16.46
And Ellicotts commentary
on this verse in Exodus 23:13,
00:37:16.50\00:37:21.40
"Contempt for the
'Gods of the nations'
00:37:21.44\00:37:24.11
was to be shown by
ignoring their very names."
00:37:24.14\00:37:27.58
That's very powerful.
00:37:27.61\00:37:29.01
So we must apply this
to the movie Black Panther,
00:37:29.04\00:37:32.35
we need to ignore the
very names of the very god
00:37:32.38\00:37:35.18
or gods of the Wakandans,
they were not to be spoken of,
00:37:35.22\00:37:40.36
unless by preachers in the
way of warning or by historians
00:37:40.39\00:37:43.73
when the facts of history
cannot otherwise be set forth.
00:37:43.76\00:37:48.36
And that's very,
very, very, very, serious.
00:37:48.40\00:37:54.14
So we understand this.
Let's go back a minute again.
00:37:54.17\00:37:58.37
Let's go back
again, let's kind of
00:37:58.41\00:37:59.74
do a rehearsal of it
00:37:59.77\00:38:01.11
because we
asked three questions.
00:38:01.14\00:38:02.48
Who was the God
of the Wakandans?
00:38:02.51\00:38:03.85
Number one.
00:38:03.88\00:38:05.21
Number two, how and where does
00:38:05.25\00:38:06.58
the Black Panther
receive his power?
00:38:06.61\00:38:07.95
And number three,
witchcraft overtones?
00:38:07.98\00:38:10.69
Who was the first Black Panther?
00:38:10.72\00:38:12.32
Just do a little recap.
00:38:12.35\00:38:13.76
According to Wakandan
lore, the great Bashenga
00:38:13.79\00:38:16.99
was a warrior shaman of Wakanda.
00:38:17.03\00:38:19.83
Remember what it said
00:38:19.86\00:38:21.23
in the first scene of the movie,
00:38:21.26\00:38:22.60
the shaman...
00:38:22.63\00:38:23.97
"The warrior
shaman received a vision
00:38:24.00\00:38:26.03
from the Panther goddess Bast.
00:38:26.07\00:38:28.00
Bashenga was guided
by the goddess Bast.
00:38:28.04\00:38:31.44
You know, that's the devil.
00:38:31.47\00:38:32.87
"Who led him to
the heart-shaped herb,
00:38:32.91\00:38:36.68
a plant that granted
him superhuman strength,
00:38:36.71\00:38:40.02
speed, and instinct."
00:38:40.05\00:38:41.78
Wait hold on that.
Who was Bast really?
00:38:41.82\00:38:44.12
It's Satan.
00:38:44.15\00:38:45.55
Satan or Bast
instructed Bashenga
00:38:45.59\00:38:48.39
to consume the herb
00:38:48.42\00:38:49.92
and the process
gave him the power
00:38:49.96\00:38:51.83
to unite the warring
tribes into a powerful knights.
00:38:51.86\00:38:55.03
"The warrior became king
and their first Black Panther,
00:38:55.06\00:38:59.03
the protector of Wakanda."
00:38:59.07\00:39:01.50
So how did this nation
Wakanda become powerful?
00:39:01.54\00:39:03.94
Upon the instruction
of the prince of darkness.
00:39:03.97\00:39:07.98
This is the first Black Panther,
00:39:08.01\00:39:10.25
and the Black
Panther is a ceremonial
00:39:10.28\00:39:12.11
and religious title,
00:39:12.15\00:39:13.82
given to the chief
of the African nation
00:39:13.85\00:39:15.95
of Wakanda.
00:39:15.98\00:39:17.32
That reminds me
in the Old Testament,
00:39:17.35\00:39:20.62
to where all the
kings of the Canaanites
00:39:20.66\00:39:23.06
was worshiped as gods,
00:39:23.09\00:39:25.03
whether it be
Sodom, Gomorrah, Ai,
00:39:25.06\00:39:27.53
all the cities of the plain.
00:39:27.56\00:39:29.13
All the Canaanite
cities were led by kings,
00:39:29.16\00:39:31.90
and any reliable
history would tell you
00:39:31.93\00:39:35.00
that all the pagan kings,
including the god of Egypt,
00:39:35.04\00:39:39.54
which was the
Pharaoh in human form,
00:39:39.57\00:39:41.71
were worshiped as gods.
00:39:41.74\00:39:43.18
So therefore, the Black Panther
is a ceremony religious title,
00:39:43.21\00:39:46.95
false god worship.
00:39:46.98\00:39:49.28
Remember Zuri?
00:39:49.32\00:39:51.45
Essence
magazine of January 2018,
00:39:51.49\00:39:54.32
gives us insight to who Zuri is?
00:39:54.36\00:39:56.83
Zuri is a shaman
00:39:56.86\00:39:58.19
who protects the
heart-shaped herb
00:39:58.23\00:39:59.56
that gives the
Black Panther his powers.
00:39:59.59\00:40:01.90
He was extremely
close to T'Challa's father
00:40:01.93\00:40:04.03
and becomes a
father figure to him.
00:40:04.07\00:40:06.87
Now the shaman is defined
00:40:06.90\00:40:09.57
as one who can
interact and mediate
00:40:09.60\00:40:12.01
with the spirit world on
behalf of their community
00:40:12.04\00:40:14.58
usually by
ecstatic trance techniques.
00:40:14.61\00:40:17.21
That is their
spirit or their soul
00:40:17.25\00:40:18.78
leaves their physical body
00:40:18.81\00:40:20.15
in order to travel to
a world of pure spirit
00:40:20.18\00:40:22.78
rather than physical matter,
for the purposes of divination,
00:40:22.82\00:40:26.49
information gathering,
healing and to receive wisdom.
00:40:26.52\00:40:30.23
Some anthropologists maintain
00:40:30.26\00:40:32.16
that shaman are the
basis of most magicians,
00:40:32.19\00:40:34.93
sorcerer archetypes in folklore.
00:40:34.96\00:40:37.47
The Bible makes it
very plain that sorcerers
00:40:37.50\00:40:39.37
in the Book of Revelation 21:8,
00:40:39.40\00:40:41.54
will be cast
into the lake of fire.
00:40:41.57\00:40:43.14
The Bible plainly forbids
of intercourse with sorcerers.
00:40:43.17\00:40:47.18
So therefore, Zuri, as you see
here again connected with Bast,
00:40:47.21\00:40:51.08
the heart-shaped herb, the
Black Panther is a sorcerer
00:40:51.11\00:40:54.42
that is a father
figure to the Black Panther.
00:40:54.45\00:40:57.02
Bottom line is this right here,
if you take the witchcraft,
00:40:57.05\00:41:01.42
and the spiritualism,
and the false god worship
00:41:01.46\00:41:04.13
out of the Black
Panther movie, guess what?
00:41:04.16\00:41:07.00
You won't have a Black Panther.
00:41:07.03\00:41:09.76
This is the integral
part of the character.
00:41:09.80\00:41:12.23
Witchcraft, which is
forbidden by the Bible
00:41:12.27\00:41:15.17
and according to Galatians 5:20,
00:41:15.20\00:41:17.11
is called one of
the works of the flesh.
00:41:17.14\00:41:20.61
So therefore,
brothers and sisters,
00:41:20.64\00:41:21.98
we have a decision to make
and before we go any further,
00:41:22.01\00:41:24.88
I wanna say this to you
00:41:24.91\00:41:26.25
as I said
before in the beginning
00:41:26.28\00:41:27.62
that this documentary
00:41:27.65\00:41:28.98
is not an
invalidation of black culture
00:41:29.02\00:41:31.42
because as a black man,
00:41:31.45\00:41:32.79
my culture is
not found in Wakanda,
00:41:32.82\00:41:34.49
it is found in the Word of God,
00:41:34.52\00:41:36.62
to where New Jerusalem
will be my future home.
00:41:36.66\00:41:39.93
As a spiritual Israelite,
circumcised by the Holy Spirit
00:41:39.96\00:41:43.30
and as a new covenant Christian
00:41:43.33\00:41:44.67
where God will
write His law in my heart.
00:41:44.70\00:41:47.47
God's word
condemns and forbids for me
00:41:47.50\00:41:51.24
to go after any false god,
00:41:51.27\00:41:53.34
whether in reality
00:41:53.38\00:41:54.71
or by patronizing it in a movie.
00:41:54.74\00:41:58.15
Brothers and sisters,
we have a decision to make.
00:41:58.18\00:42:00.65
Now there may be
some who understand that
00:42:00.68\00:42:02.62
"Yes, I understand
that this is um, you know,
00:42:02.65\00:42:05.79
that's not of god
and this is spiritualism"
00:42:05.82\00:42:07.62
and all these kinds of
things, but it's just a movie.
00:42:07.66\00:42:10.79
Brothers and
sisters, it was just a snake,
00:42:10.83\00:42:12.83
it was just a
serpent in the Garden of Eden
00:42:12.86\00:42:14.56
that spoke to Eve to
give her a false reality
00:42:14.60\00:42:17.93
and she bought into it.
00:42:17.97\00:42:19.50
There's gonna be
a grand deception
00:42:19.53\00:42:20.87
in these last days.
00:42:20.90\00:42:22.24
And the Bible says
00:42:22.27\00:42:23.61
in the Book of
Revelation Chapter 16,
00:42:23.64\00:42:24.97
that the spirits of
devils will go forth
00:42:25.01\00:42:26.71
to the kings of the
earth and of the whole world
00:42:26.74\00:42:28.88
to prepare people
for the grand deception.
00:42:28.91\00:42:31.51
I'm reading from a Book
called Patriarchs and Prophets,
00:42:31.55\00:42:33.62
page 685,
00:42:33.65\00:42:35.62
where it says,
"The familiar spirits
00:42:35.65\00:42:37.95
were not the
spirits of the dead,
00:42:37.99\00:42:40.02
but evil angels,
the messengers of Satan.
00:42:40.06\00:42:43.36
Ancient idolatry,
which as we have seen,
00:42:43.39\00:42:46.29
comprises both the
worship of the dead
00:42:46.33\00:42:48.90
and pretended
communion with them,
00:42:48.93\00:42:50.97
is declared by the Bible
to have been demonic worship.
00:42:51.00\00:42:55.17
The Apostle Paul,
in warning his brethren
00:42:55.20\00:42:57.21
against
participating in any manner,
00:42:57.24\00:42:59.51
in the idolatry of
their heathen neighbor says,
00:42:59.54\00:43:02.24
"The things which
the Gentiles sacrifice,
00:43:02.28\00:43:04.58
they sacrifice to
devils and not to God,
00:43:04.61\00:43:07.42
and I would not
00:43:07.45\00:43:08.78
that ye should have
fellowship with devils."
00:43:08.82\00:43:11.12
1 Corinthians 10:20.
00:43:11.15\00:43:13.02
And the psalmist,
speaking of Israel says,
00:43:13.05\00:43:15.22
that "They sacrificed
their sons and daughters
00:43:15.26\00:43:17.93
unto devils."
00:43:17.96\00:43:19.49
And In the next verse,
00:43:19.53\00:43:21.20
he explains that
they sacrificed them
00:43:21.23\00:43:23.60
unto the idols of Canaan.
00:43:23.63\00:43:25.23
Psalms 106:37-38,
00:43:25.27\00:43:28.10
"In their supposed
worship of dead men,
00:43:28.14\00:43:31.34
they were in
reality worshiping demons."
00:43:31.37\00:43:34.01
And that's
really the bottom line
00:43:34.04\00:43:36.31
of what we're talking about.
00:43:36.34\00:43:38.05
The Black
Panther, this superhero
00:43:38.08\00:43:40.18
that many
people are going after,
00:43:40.22\00:43:41.88
many people are reverencing,
00:43:41.92\00:43:43.32
many people right now
can't wait for part two,
00:43:43.35\00:43:45.89
or part three, or part
four, or just a whole series.
00:43:45.92\00:43:49.49
Black Panther,
this Black Panther,
00:43:49.52\00:43:51.06
this Wakanda forever.
00:43:51.09\00:43:53.36
Brothers and sisters,
00:43:53.40\00:43:54.73
what we're talking
about is a pagan nation
00:43:54.76\00:43:56.60
where superhero is
communing with the dead
00:43:56.63\00:43:58.57
to receive his power
and communing with the devil
00:43:58.60\00:44:01.50
and by deceiving
you and I to believe
00:44:01.54\00:44:04.81
that a heart-shaped herb
gives this superhero his power.
00:44:04.84\00:44:08.21
Brothers and sisters,
00:44:08.24\00:44:09.58
we need to make a better choice.
00:44:09.61\00:44:11.88
The better choice is
Jesus to where He had all power,
00:44:11.91\00:44:15.42
Jesus says, "All
power is given unto Me
00:44:15.45\00:44:17.19
in heaven and in earth."
00:44:17.22\00:44:18.55
Jesus would spent
all night in prayer,
00:44:18.59\00:44:20.36
receiving power from the Father
00:44:20.39\00:44:21.96
to cast out devils
to perform miracles,
00:44:21.99\00:44:23.96
signs and wonders
00:44:23.99\00:44:25.33
and most
especially to adopt you and I,
00:44:25.36\00:44:27.70
as the atoning
sacrifice for our sins.
00:44:27.73\00:44:30.33
He is the true superhero
that needs to be reverenced,
00:44:30.37\00:44:33.13
not some false
superhero god or false messiah,
00:44:33.17\00:44:37.27
or false christ,
whether it be Isis,
00:44:37.31\00:44:39.01
Shazam, Superman, Iron Man,
00:44:39.04\00:44:41.04
or even the Black Panther.
00:44:41.08\00:44:43.14
Based on the Bible, we
reject the Black Panther.
00:44:43.18\00:44:45.78
We accept Christ
as the hero of all.
00:44:45.81\00:44:49.62
And Jesus, when He comes
back to take His church home,
00:44:49.65\00:44:52.15
when He comes
back the second time,
00:44:52.19\00:44:53.76
has a better place for us.
00:44:53.79\00:44:55.39
It's not Wakanda, it
is the New Jerusalem,
00:44:55.42\00:44:59.36
the City of God.
00:44:59.39\00:45:00.73
Twelve days into the city,
00:45:00.76\00:45:02.20
prepared for people
that will stand for Him.
00:45:02.23\00:45:05.33
The Bible says in the
Book of Revelation 22:14,
00:45:05.37\00:45:10.71
the Bible makes it very plain,
00:45:10.74\00:45:13.01
"Blessed are they
that do His commandments,
00:45:13.04\00:45:16.14
that they may have
right to the tree of life,
00:45:16.18\00:45:18.18
and may enter in
through the gates
00:45:18.21\00:45:20.48
into the city."
00:45:20.52\00:45:21.85
But verse 15 says,
"For without the city,
00:45:21.88\00:45:23.59
those who will be lost in
hell are dogs and sorcerers.
00:45:23.62\00:45:28.36
And all you see is
sorcery through this movie,
00:45:28.39\00:45:30.69
and whoremongers, and
murderers and idolaters."
00:45:30.73\00:45:33.96
Those who worship the God Bast,
00:45:34.00\00:45:35.66
those who are going
after these superheroes,
00:45:35.70\00:45:38.17
which are nothing
more than false god
00:45:38.20\00:45:40.57
in spandex and capes,
00:45:40.60\00:45:42.30
and whosoever
loveth and maketh a lie.
00:45:42.34\00:45:45.31
I'm here to tell you
00:45:45.34\00:45:46.68
that the Black Panther is a lie,
00:45:46.71\00:45:48.18
inspired by the father of lies.
00:45:48.21\00:45:50.05
We want to acquaint
ourselves and our children
00:45:50.08\00:45:52.35
with the truth
as it is in Jesus.
00:45:52.38\00:45:54.32
Jesus says, "Sanctify
them through thy truth
00:45:54.35\00:45:57.85
for thy word is truth."
00:45:57.89\00:46:00.22
And when we stand
on the banner of truth,
00:46:00.26\00:46:02.49
we will not be swept away.
00:46:02.52\00:46:05.83
Brothers and sisters,
00:46:05.86\00:46:07.20
if we can fall
for this deception
00:46:07.23\00:46:09.23
on a superhero that's not real,
00:46:09.26\00:46:11.23
how in the world can we stand
against the grand deception
00:46:11.27\00:46:14.54
when Satan will personate
and come and counterfeit
00:46:14.57\00:46:17.64
the second
coming of Jesus Christ
00:46:17.67\00:46:19.47
to where if it were possible,
00:46:19.51\00:46:20.84
the very elect
would be deceived.
00:46:20.88\00:46:22.98
Are we now so firmly established
00:46:23.01\00:46:25.18
upon the Word of God,
00:46:25.21\00:46:26.55
that we will not yield to
the evidence of our senses.
00:46:26.58\00:46:29.68
God has a better place for us,
and that is the New Jerusalem,
00:46:29.72\00:46:32.95
not a fictitious place,
00:46:32.99\00:46:34.52
where it's controlled
by the prince of darkness.
00:46:34.56\00:46:37.49
Brothers and sisters,
00:46:37.53\00:46:38.86
Jesus is offering
something better to us,
00:46:38.89\00:46:42.10
and that is eternal
life and a real reality.
00:46:42.13\00:46:45.77
This is the real City of God.
00:46:45.80\00:46:47.80
And this is where
we must put our faith,
00:46:47.84\00:46:52.14
confidence and our support,
00:46:52.17\00:46:54.64
not Wakanda forever
but New Jerusalem forever.
00:46:54.68\00:46:58.85
My appeal to you
is this right here,
00:46:58.88\00:47:00.48
maybe somebody
watching this program,
00:47:00.52\00:47:02.25
you're deciding "I'm gonna watch
00:47:02.28\00:47:04.19
on the next Black Panther series
00:47:04.22\00:47:05.65
that comes out."
00:47:05.69\00:47:07.02
We need to take and to consider
00:47:07.06\00:47:08.39
what we're talking about
here on this documentary,
00:47:08.42\00:47:11.16
and make a
biblically informed choice.
00:47:11.19\00:47:13.23
Do not allow your emotions
or even racial preferences
00:47:13.26\00:47:17.63
cause you to say,
well, I want to supersede
00:47:17.67\00:47:20.34
what scripture says,
00:47:20.37\00:47:21.70
and go along with
what I want to watch.
00:47:21.74\00:47:23.81
Brothers and sisters,
that's always dangerous.
00:47:23.84\00:47:26.07
What happens is,
feast on the truth of God.
00:47:26.11\00:47:29.04
Watch this
documentary over and over again,
00:47:29.08\00:47:31.61
and spread it to those
who need to hear the warning,
00:47:31.65\00:47:34.68
to come out from among them
00:47:34.72\00:47:36.25
and be separate, saith the Lord,
00:47:36.28\00:47:38.12
and touch not the unclean thing,
00:47:38.15\00:47:39.95
and I will receive you.
00:47:39.99\00:47:42.39
We want to thank God,
00:47:42.42\00:47:43.76
for you just taking a
few moments of your time
00:47:43.79\00:47:45.59
to watch this documentary.
00:47:45.63\00:47:47.20
But always remember,
00:47:47.23\00:47:48.56
when it comes to
the truth of God,
00:47:48.60\00:47:50.07
it is the truth of the hour,
00:47:50.10\00:47:51.90
and it's filled
with the Holy Ghost power
00:47:51.93\00:47:54.04
and it is too sweet to be sour.
00:47:54.07\00:47:56.24
This is Dr. Olatunji.
00:47:56.27\00:47:58.01
May God bless you
00:47:58.04\00:47:59.41
and I'll see
you in New Jerusalem
00:47:59.44\00:48:01.41
where we'll live with
Jesus happily, forever.
00:48:01.44\00:48:06.48
Was that powerful or what?
00:48:06.51\00:48:08.28
It was, it was.
00:48:08.32\00:48:09.78
I can only imagine the
backlash that's gonna come
00:48:09.82\00:48:12.99
as a result of that documentary.
00:48:13.02\00:48:15.79
Yeah, yeah, well, you
know, yes, and no, I mean,
00:48:15.82\00:48:19.76
if you're, if you seek truth,
00:48:19.79\00:48:21.40
if you really want
to know what's true,
00:48:21.43\00:48:23.93
then yeah, I mean,
it might have a reaction
00:48:23.97\00:48:28.94
but, you know,
that the main thing is,
00:48:28.97\00:48:31.31
I think, this
forces you to ask yourself,
00:48:31.34\00:48:34.84
do I want truth
00:48:34.88\00:48:36.21
or do I just want
to exalt my culture.
00:48:36.24\00:48:38.11
Yeah, my prayer is that people
will embrace the truth that's,
00:48:38.15\00:48:41.92
that's my prayer like this,
00:48:41.95\00:48:43.39
this documentary
is very eye opening.
00:48:43.42\00:48:45.82
Uh-hm.
00:48:45.85\00:48:47.19
You know, because
these aren't the things
00:48:47.22\00:48:50.33
that they talked
about in the media,
00:48:50.36\00:48:51.99
they just promote the movie,
00:48:52.03\00:48:53.36
everybody goes to see the movie
00:48:53.40\00:48:55.43
and then you have
a bunch of hashtags
00:48:55.46\00:48:57.77
on social media and
all these other things
00:48:57.80\00:49:00.64
but this is not talked about.
00:49:00.67\00:49:03.20
Right.
00:49:03.24\00:49:04.57
So it's my prayer that
people will embrace truth
00:49:04.61\00:49:08.28
and live a
principle oriented life.
00:49:08.31\00:49:11.51
Absolutely.
00:49:11.55\00:49:12.88
And to begin to
look at everything
00:49:12.91\00:49:14.55
through the lens of the Bible,
00:49:14.58\00:49:16.32
I mean, isn't
just movies in media
00:49:16.35\00:49:18.55
but everything, how do we begin
00:49:18.59\00:49:20.16
to filter our daily
lives in order them after
00:49:20.19\00:49:23.46
"Thus saith the
Word of God, right?
00:49:23.49\00:49:25.59
I mean, that's where we
know what's right and wrong
00:49:25.63\00:49:29.26
and so when we
start, kind of like,
00:49:29.30\00:49:31.03
erasing parts of
the Bible that we say
00:49:31.07\00:49:33.23
"Man, I don't
really believe in that
00:49:33.27\00:49:34.60
or I don't believe in this."
00:49:34.64\00:49:36.17
It'll get real confusing so.
00:49:36.20\00:49:38.04
Well, that's not that important.
00:49:38.07\00:49:39.91
That's right.
You know what I mean?
00:49:39.94\00:49:41.28
Like okay, whoa,
well, this is okay,
00:49:41.31\00:49:43.61
but you know
that's not that important,
00:49:43.65\00:49:45.81
you know, if God
said it, it's important.
00:49:45.85\00:49:48.18
Yeah.
00:49:48.22\00:49:49.55
What are some of the takeaways
00:49:49.58\00:49:50.92
that you have from
watching this movie
00:49:50.95\00:49:53.52
and its effects on Christians?
00:49:53.56\00:49:57.36
That Satan is after your mind.
00:49:57.39\00:49:59.09
He will come in any form.
00:49:59.13\00:50:00.46
He'll come in a form
that is familiar to you,
00:50:00.50\00:50:03.63
which will cause
you to be disarmed,
00:50:03.67\00:50:05.83
so therefore you're more readily
00:50:05.87\00:50:07.24
to accept it,
00:50:07.27\00:50:08.90
so what happens
is though we may see,
00:50:08.94\00:50:11.11
though we do see
spiritualistic and witchcraft
00:50:11.14\00:50:13.88
overtones in the
white superheroes
00:50:13.91\00:50:16.14
with this one for
some because it's black,
00:50:16.18\00:50:18.98
because it's a culture,
00:50:19.01\00:50:20.62
we may not see it as clearly
or we may not care to see it
00:50:20.65\00:50:24.29
or not even think as
it, of the devil at all.
00:50:24.32\00:50:27.36
But what we want to do is
put the truth in your face
00:50:27.39\00:50:30.13
to you to see that we
have to measure everything,
00:50:30.16\00:50:33.56
no matter what form it comes in,
00:50:33.60\00:50:35.13
whether it's familiar
or unfamiliar by this book,
00:50:35.16\00:50:37.57
the Holy Bible,
because by this book,
00:50:37.60\00:50:39.13
we shall all be judged.
00:50:39.17\00:50:40.50
That's right.
00:50:40.54\00:50:41.87
I love how he made the
comment in the end of that film,
00:50:41.90\00:50:44.67
that there's a
deception that's coming.
00:50:44.71\00:50:47.71
We know this,
we've preached about it
00:50:47.74\00:50:49.74
for so many years in our church
00:50:49.78\00:50:52.45
and, you know, it's
like you kind of hear it
00:50:52.48\00:50:54.65
so often that "Hey, I know that
there's a deception coming."
00:50:54.68\00:50:58.35
But I love the
comment that you said,
00:50:58.39\00:51:00.56
if you can't
understand this deception,
00:51:00.59\00:51:03.59
how are you going to understand
some greater deception?
00:51:03.63\00:51:06.03
That's good. That's deep.
00:51:06.06\00:51:07.40
And that was deep,
that really stuck with me.
00:51:07.43\00:51:09.20
Exactly.
00:51:09.23\00:51:10.57
Because as I meditated upon it,
00:51:10.60\00:51:12.40
you know, the enemy is this...
00:51:12.43\00:51:14.17
the Bible, and
the Bible says that
00:51:14.20\00:51:15.74
"Ain't so much,
if it were possible,
00:51:15.77\00:51:17.37
the very elect
will be deceived."
00:51:17.41\00:51:18.84
That just shows how deceptive,
this deception is gonna be.
00:51:18.87\00:51:21.88
And so what Satan does,
00:51:21.91\00:51:23.48
he puts little
deceptions out here
00:51:23.51\00:51:24.98
through these entertainment,
through movies, through songs,
00:51:25.01\00:51:27.55
through just all kinds of
venues to condition the mind,
00:51:27.58\00:51:30.79
so when he comes to
this grand deception,
00:51:30.82\00:51:32.95
our minds have been
so trained to be deceived
00:51:32.99\00:51:36.46
that he'll win.
00:51:36.49\00:51:39.36
If we don't fall in
love with the truth, right?
00:51:39.39\00:51:41.73
That's right.
00:51:41.76\00:51:43.10
God's gonna send
a strong delusion.
00:51:43.13\00:51:44.90
Those that don't love the truth,
00:51:44.93\00:51:46.74
they're gonna be
swept up into that
00:51:46.77\00:51:48.24
so this is where we need
to strengthen our discernment
00:51:48.27\00:51:51.87
and how we do that
00:51:51.91\00:51:53.44
is literally by understanding
and reading the Bible,
00:51:53.48\00:51:55.78
that's where it begins.
00:51:55.81\00:51:57.15
That's right. You
can't spot a counterfeit.
00:51:57.18\00:51:58.75
All these
things are counterfeit.
00:51:58.78\00:52:00.12
So that's really
what God's doing.
00:52:00.15\00:52:01.95
You know, it's really
easy to pop in a movie
00:52:01.98\00:52:03.99
and watch a two
hour movie, right?
00:52:04.02\00:52:06.12
It's a little more challenging
00:52:06.15\00:52:08.22
to sit and study
your Bible for two hours,
00:52:08.26\00:52:10.29
it takes a lot of
energy and effort to,
00:52:10.33\00:52:12.36
to dive into the Word of God.
00:52:12.39\00:52:13.73
This is where we need to
get our information from.
00:52:13.76\00:52:16.26
Absolutely, you know,
when, when people are learning
00:52:16.30\00:52:20.74
how to differentiate
between counterfeit money
00:52:20.77\00:52:23.71
and the real,
they learn the real,
00:52:23.74\00:52:28.08
they don't
learn the counterfeit,
00:52:28.11\00:52:29.44
they learn the
real and so they study
00:52:29.48\00:52:31.58
what goes into an
authentic dollar bill.
00:52:31.61\00:52:34.72
That's right. And
then you can't be tricked.
00:52:34.75\00:52:37.95
What, that's what we
have to do with the Word,
00:52:37.99\00:52:40.29
we have to stay in that Word
00:52:40.32\00:52:42.09
because that's
where the real is,
00:52:42.12\00:52:44.33
that's what's authentic.
00:52:44.36\00:52:46.03
And I think we also
need to make the decision,
00:52:46.06\00:52:49.03
when we are
confronted with something
00:52:49.06\00:52:50.70
that is
conflicting of our Bible.
00:52:50.73\00:52:52.43
What do we do then?
00:52:52.47\00:52:53.80
To be get up and walk away,
00:52:53.84\00:52:55.50
turn it off, do we, do
we, you know, discuss it.
00:52:55.54\00:52:58.47
I think sometimes we...
00:52:58.51\00:53:00.38
Sweeping things under the carpet
00:53:00.41\00:53:01.98
is more damaging
to us down the road
00:53:02.01\00:53:03.91
because it just
breaks down our defenses
00:53:03.95\00:53:06.48
that much more until
all of a sudden, where,
00:53:06.51\00:53:08.98
we're lost and we don't know
00:53:09.02\00:53:10.35
what's up and down
and left and right.
00:53:10.39\00:53:12.72
And the interesting
thing, I mean, the Bible says,
00:53:12.75\00:53:14.59
"By beholding,
we become change."
00:53:14.62\00:53:15.99
That's right.
00:53:16.02\00:53:17.36
So if you're
beholding all these things,
00:53:17.39\00:53:18.73
like you said,
it desensitizes you.
00:53:18.76\00:53:20.50
It's the pleasure
element of watching these things
00:53:20.53\00:53:22.53
that really keeps us there.
00:53:22.56\00:53:25.20
We know it's wrong, we
know something's wrong with it,
00:53:25.23\00:53:27.10
but there's something about
it that's keeping me there.
00:53:27.14\00:53:29.90
And that's the pleasure element.
00:53:29.94\00:53:31.27
And that's why the Bible says,
00:53:31.31\00:53:32.64
we gotta die to self
and take up our cross daily.
00:53:32.67\00:53:35.64
Wow, that's so true.
00:53:35.68\00:53:37.01
So what takeaways
00:53:37.05\00:53:38.68
would you like to
share with the audience
00:53:38.71\00:53:40.55
from the Black
Panther deception?
00:53:40.58\00:53:43.22
What takeaways do you have?
00:53:43.25\00:53:46.25
I'll let Scotty
to talk about it.
00:53:46.29\00:53:48.46
You know, I hope that
we want to be sensitive
00:53:48.49\00:53:52.66
to the culture that's around us,
00:53:52.69\00:53:55.30
I mean, honestly,
00:53:55.33\00:53:56.67
there is some truthful
things about the black community
00:53:56.70\00:53:59.87
is
underrepresented in Hollywood,
00:53:59.90\00:54:01.54
that is a sheer fact.
00:54:01.57\00:54:04.01
And it is a terrible
thing to think of the cultures
00:54:04.04\00:54:07.84
in different levels
or something like this.
00:54:07.88\00:54:09.88
So I think that
this is a beautiful thing
00:54:09.91\00:54:13.01
for us to have something
that we say no, we're all,
00:54:13.05\00:54:15.72
you know, worthy
of something, right?
00:54:15.75\00:54:17.75
That's what the
Bible talks about.
00:54:17.79\00:54:19.12
We're all worthy
in Christ, right?
00:54:19.15\00:54:21.52
But we have to literally
say, this is first and foremost,
00:54:21.56\00:54:25.89
how we begin to look
at everything around us
00:54:25.93\00:54:28.43
and not get wooed into,
00:54:28.46\00:54:30.53
you know, the
emotional experience of,
00:54:30.57\00:54:33.94
"Everybody's going
and seeing this, okay,
00:54:33.97\00:54:35.50
if I don't go,
I'm gonna be left out
00:54:35.54\00:54:37.04
if I don't go
and see it, you know.
00:54:37.07\00:54:38.91
What a stance, it says.
00:54:38.94\00:54:40.34
If it's like, no,
00:54:40.38\00:54:41.71
it takes a little bit of
research, honestly, right?
00:54:41.74\00:54:44.01
Right.
00:54:44.05\00:54:45.38
You look at a
two minute trailer,
00:54:45.41\00:54:46.75
you know what that
thing is about, right?
00:54:46.78\00:54:48.12
Yeah. Exactly.
00:54:48.15\00:54:49.48
And so, you know, we
need to be discerning
00:54:49.52\00:54:53.02
and really make those decisions
00:54:53.05\00:54:55.12
and don't allow the
devil any footholds.
00:54:55.16\00:54:57.63
Umm. Good
00:54:57.66\00:54:59.23
With that, what
I like to add is,
00:54:59.26\00:55:00.83
is that just as a black man,
as we said in the disclaimer,
00:55:00.86\00:55:05.33
this is not an
invalidation of black culture
00:55:05.37\00:55:08.17
and a documentary like this,
00:55:08.20\00:55:11.94
just a title of it may
cause people to lock up,
00:55:11.97\00:55:16.31
but they don't want to
see it for whatever reason.
00:55:16.34\00:55:19.31
And number two,
when they see it,
00:55:19.35\00:55:22.35
they're gonna have to
accept the fact that look,
00:55:22.38\00:55:24.62
I shouldn't have watched it
and another sequel comes out,
00:55:24.65\00:55:27.76
we need not to watch it.
00:55:27.79\00:55:29.12
And so what we're trying to
do is we're trying to prevent,
00:55:29.16\00:55:30.79
so we're trying to
prevent people being deceived,
00:55:30.83\00:55:32.43
whether it's the Black Panther,
00:55:32.46\00:55:33.80
the White Panther
or the Pink Panther,
00:55:33.83\00:55:36.50
so we got to make sure that
our decisions are biblically,
00:55:36.53\00:55:42.20
founded in the Word of God,
00:55:42.24\00:55:43.57
not even allowed
culture to deceive us,
00:55:43.61\00:55:45.37
because I hate to say it,
00:55:45.41\00:55:47.48
but there are
people of my own culture
00:55:47.51\00:55:50.45
that have done some things to...
00:55:50.48\00:55:53.98
It has been the
thing that aren't liked,
00:55:54.02\00:55:55.72
you know, we all
talk about the white man,
00:55:55.75\00:55:57.32
there's white man that,
but people of our own culture
00:55:57.35\00:55:59.75
have done
things on a micro scale
00:55:59.79\00:56:02.32
and on a macro scale
00:56:02.36\00:56:03.69
but we'll just
leave that for other time.
00:56:03.73\00:56:06.46
That's another conversation.
00:56:06.49\00:56:08.53
You know what, after people
have watched this documentary
00:56:08.56\00:56:11.47
that we just saw, I
know they're gonna wonder
00:56:11.50\00:56:13.87
where can they get it?
00:56:13.90\00:56:15.40
How can they get it on DVD?
00:56:15.44\00:56:17.51
So you can go to
littlelightstudios.tv
00:56:17.54\00:56:20.28
and you can order
from our shop or, Dr. O.
00:56:20.31\00:56:22.81
You can go to my
website at projectlatterrain.org
00:56:22.84\00:56:28.12
and go to the product section
00:56:28.15\00:56:29.48
and you can order it from there.
00:56:29.52\00:56:30.85
Wonderful because I
know they're gonna call here
00:56:30.89\00:56:32.22
and call us and say,
00:56:32.25\00:56:33.59
"Hey, we want that
DVD. We need that DVD."
00:56:33.62\00:56:35.92
So I just wanted them to know
00:56:35.96\00:56:37.63
where they can get
what they just saw.
00:56:37.66\00:56:39.49
Yeah, we appreciate
your taking the time to come
00:56:39.53\00:56:43.70
and to share with us
because this whole thing
00:56:43.73\00:56:48.17
is so much deeper
than just entertainment.
00:56:48.20\00:56:51.61
It's not just entertainment.
This is a spiritual battle.
00:56:51.64\00:56:55.14
And we're not wrestling
against flesh and blood,
00:56:55.18\00:56:57.95
you know, so
all of these things,
00:56:57.98\00:57:00.22
these impressions that
are coming in on the brain,
00:57:00.25\00:57:02.55
the brain has to
do something with it.
00:57:02.58\00:57:06.02
And so what it's doing is,
00:57:06.05\00:57:07.79
it is just basically
filing all this information.
00:57:07.82\00:57:11.46
So if we don't have
the basis of the Bible,
00:57:11.49\00:57:15.80
to go back to and
to say, you know what?
00:57:15.83\00:57:18.37
This is false, I
shouldn't even watch this
00:57:18.40\00:57:21.37
because this is implanting
this information in my brain.
00:57:21.40\00:57:24.74
So thank you so much...
Thank you for having us.
00:57:24.77\00:57:26.71
For doing it. We
really appreciate it.
00:57:26.74\00:57:28.81
And thank you, Jay!
00:57:28.84\00:57:30.25
My pleasure.
00:57:30.28\00:57:32.15
It was so good to have you
and thank you for watching.
00:57:32.18\00:57:34.85
Make sure that you use
the Bible as your foundation.
00:57:34.88\00:57:38.72
Don't let
culture, don't let media,
00:57:38.75\00:57:41.29
don't let anything take you away
00:57:41.32\00:57:44.06
from the Word of God.
00:57:44.09\00:57:45.56
That is what you are
to base your life on.
00:57:45.59\00:57:48.90
If you say you're a Christian,
if you're not a Christian,
00:57:48.93\00:57:51.07
then okay, but if
you are a Christian,
00:57:51.10\00:57:53.50
then you know that you are
to base your life on the Bible.
00:57:53.54\00:57:57.17
Thank you for joining us.
00:57:57.21\00:57:58.71
We pray that this
program was a blessing for you
00:57:58.74\00:58:01.41
like it was for us.
00:58:01.44\00:58:02.91
