Wanted, Bible References to Abraham and Issac?

Alroight, so, after a phone call, I had "Wall-E" and "Wanted" downloaded onto my desktop. "Wall-E" was what i planned on watching first, but it turns out it was bad quality, so i quickly disposed of it and double clicked the video file "Wanted," as Quicktime opened up and started playing the movie. (WARNING, LONG ASS ENTRY)

I wanted to watch this movie primarily for the crazy action sequences, but had low expectations. But as I watched the sweet visual affects and crazy stunts, I began making some connections with the movie to references from Genesis, with the story of Abraham and Issac. Now we're all familiar with this bible passage right? God says Abraham's gonna get a kid, Abraham goes "pftt nah son im mad old." Then all of a sudden, God humbles the crap out of Abraham and says "BAM" and Issac's born. Awesome, life is sweet again.

but then God goes, "Aight, now I want you to kill your kid. I gave you a blessing, and now I'm taking away your blessing. 

But now things are different! God has Abraham's utmost faith. So Abraham submit's to God, and prepares to kill Issac. As he's about to, God goes "Aight, thats good enough for me, 'don't kill your kid yo."

(God.) (Abraham) (Issac) 

Right? everyone knows the story. 

Now, with this movie. I don't think this movie was intended to be like the Genesis story, but there were too many parallels to ignore. (spoiler alert)

-------this is just movie background and parallel if youre committed----------

                                                scroll down from here

01) First off, like Abraham, Angelina Jolie's character, "Fox," was a skeptic before she enters the assasination group known as "The Fraternity." The Fraternity claims that fate gives them a target, and they eliminate it without question. But later on, after a life changing experience, Morgan Freeman's character, "Sloan," shows her that something greater was at work before she knew it, and thats when her faith in Fate and The Fraternity became absolute. PARALLEL: Abraham is skeptic, God shows him his power, Abraham is a believer.

02) Second, as the main character enters the scene, guy named "Wesley," The Faternity trains Wesley, and Angelina Jolie aka "The Fox," starts to form a special bond with Wesley. However later on, Fox is told that Fate has issued an order to kill Wesley. With unwavering faith, The Fox goes to complete the job, not worried about the consequences of her actions, but just trusting in Fate. PARALLEL: Abraham is told to kill Issac, and Abraham goes to do it, fully trusting in God.

I would spare you the conclusion of the story, but i have to tell you in order to get my point across. Basically what happens is that in the end, it turns out that Morgan Freeman, aka Sloan, didnt really have the orders from Fate, and was just using Fate as a way to gain the power and trust of his followers, and away from the real Fate. Sloan sends Wesley to unknowingly kill Wesley's dad, dad tells Wesley that he was tricked after all this time. Wesley finds this out, lets The Fox know. Turns out the real Fate originally had Fox and the rest of Sloan's followers die. Realizing the truth, The Fox kills the rest of Sloan's followers, and ultimately kills herself to carry out the real Fate's original plan. And then our hero Wesley kills Sloan. 

This was supposed to be some brief entertainment before bed, but as I watched it, i felt like God was showing me these connections. Basically, I've been going through some struggles, spiritually, and this movie was just what i needed. I didnt mention this previously, but before the movie starts, apparently Sloan sent Wesley's dad to kill Wesley, saying that he needs to follow "Faith" in the Fraternity, but Wesley's dad (aka Cross) didnt listen because obviously he didnt want to kill his own kid. My interpretation: Sometimes you have to figure out and ignore God's plan from the voices of the world (like "studying and partying is fine as long as you go to church once in awhile right?) The Fox didnt really sift through the truth from the lies, and following blindly, and ultimately led to her own destruction.

-------------------------------------------------------

now for me, my spiritual struggle these days is sifting through what I want, and what GOD wants. I like to think that i know what God wants and that i'm doing it, but thinking like that even, is a sin, to remain stasis in faith. We need to continue seeking him, in a state of utter humility. but sometimes i have my own desires, and i want to do whatever I want, even if it might be not pleasing to God. The problem with that is that I tend to reason with myself, telling myself all these different reasons as to why what i want is okay. Not only myself, but the Satan (in the movie, Sloan) works hard to deceive you, convincing you that some things are permissible (but not all things are beneficial). But through all this, i realized that only when my desires match up with God's plan does everything work out beautifully. If i try to fulfill my own desires against God's plan, then it might work well for me for a little bit. It might even make me happy, for a little bit. but ultimately, it'll all fall apart miserably. And currently, there is somethings that i want to do, that i want to see happen, but I dont want it to end badly. i want it to be freaking perfect.  I just need to pray for His go-ahead nod. 

hey, eprops if you read all this.

seriously, this was mad reading haha

you could call it a time commitment even.
