Prophecy? "The Da Vinci Code" and "The book of 2 Peter"
Recently my Bible reading got to the book of 2 Peter, and I have been seeing all these "The Da Vinci Code" advertising posters around me (what a "big business" on "fiction"!)… Then phrases from chapter 2 of the book of 2 Peter became bold to me:
But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them - bringing swift destruction on themselves. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping. (2 Peter 2:1-3)
...Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings; yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish. (2 Peter 2:10-12)
Are there any correlations on "big business" with "greed", and any correlations on "fiction" with "slanderous accusations"? Any prophecy being revealed here?
More response can be found from the Holy Bible - Jude 1:4-21
On the side, the subject also leads me to think of the term "absolute purity" and its importance. I guess fiction has to be pure fiction including its character names and its content, and truth has to be pure truth; when mixing fiction and truth: slanderous accusations follow.
