I was quite disturbed when I first saw a trailer for Birth of a Nation; a movie written, produced and directed by Nate Parker. I was even more disturbed by the number of professing Christians supporting and promoting the film when it was released. To me, the film has "devil" written all over it. In short, the movie is antichrist. It goes directly against a number of things Messiah taught and stood for.

From the trailer and description, you see the Gospel made of no effect. You see a boy raised up on the Word of God and due to manipulation, violence and brutality from a particular group, this young man turns his back on what he learned from the Messiah and pursues what he now believes to be a more "effective" means of liberation. From this film, viewers are encouraged to question whether or not the teachings of Yeshua are actually relevant. Young black men are devilishly urged to question whether or not the Judaeo-Christian faith is even for them. The age-old thought is planted in their minds that Christianity is just the "white man's religion" which he put on young African males in order to keep them under control.

A brief glance at history will show you that the murderous actions during Nat Turner's revolt merely led to more murder. The dark notion that black men were savages was simply reinforced and white slave owners meted out what they believed to be due justice as a result. Hundreds of blacks were brutally killed in the aftermath and many of them had nothing to do with the slave rebellion.

The children of Israel were in slavery in Egypt for 400 years (Acts 7:6). We know from God's talk with Moses (Exodus 3:7) that Yehovah heard their outcries due to their suffering. Though deliverance never came in the lifetime of many individuals, it most assuredly came for Israel as a people, in God's own time. As horrible as life in this age can be, a very important thing is to learn to TRUST Yehovah in all circumstances and never doubt His character or His resolve. Vengeance is His and He will repay and deliver in His own time (Deuteronomy 32:35).
