Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread":
The History Channel is pushing the da Vinci Code as something to appeal
to devout but serious thinking people. There is enough of a little
smattering of biblical connection to lend it an assumed legitimacy,
while in fact it is a glorifying of pagan legends of the so-called Holy
Grail. Antichrist has been invested with an enticing allurement. The
idea deceived the Nazis.
The prominent female in the legend is a distorted personification of
the Mary Magdalene of the Bible. The History Channel purports to be
“history,” and lends credence to the supposed story of Jesus Christ
yielding to Mary’s sexual blandishments--unable to overcome the
supposedly irresistible temptation of illicit sex. Trying to track the
historical whereabouts of “Christ’s love child” is the TV mystery
ensnaring millions. The underlying idea is that sexual temptation is
beyond control. But it’s the basic stuff that makes AIDS and broken
lives. Fornication and adultery are made “holy” in the pursuit of the
Holy Grail. The fruit: broken hearts and blasted lives, a moral
tsunami. The soul devastation may be near you, even next door. There is
a nightmarish bomb that can kill the people in a city but leave its
glittering architecture unscathed; the da Vinci Code is its spiritual
counterpart.
Has it caught God by surprise?
His promise is that when the enemy shall come in like a flood, the
Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against the evil one (Isa.
59:19). That promise is in the final gospel message of Revelation
18:1-4. It will “lighten the earth with glory.” God’s Good News is the
message of three angels in Revelation 14 that must go to “every nation,
kindred, tongue, and people” before the return of Jesus. The third
one’s message is especially significant (vss. 1-12).
Just before His death, Jesus said that the Bible truth of the story of
the authentic Mary Magdalene must be told “wheresoever this gospel
shall be preached” (Mark 14:9). It’s a part of that third angel’s
message in verity!
