I tend to think of this website as a place for me to share deeply personal sides of myself. Each time I post an article, it speaks to my mindset or what is important to me. With that in mind, it is with both excitement and trepidation that I share something that I think is of the utmost importance that I fear could easily be discarded as of no worth. I have learned the true purpose of Cinematic Chiasmus, and I’d like to reveal it to you.

My Journey Getting Here

I’ve made no secret of the fact that I get a feeling about certain movies, which impels me to analyze them and discover the chiasmus in them. Once I figure that out, I turn them into Cinematic Chiasmus articles. The reason I’ve been able to have such confidence in finding chiasmus in the films I’ve analyzed is because I’ve learned to trust the feeling that guides me.

I’ve also enjoyed receiving ideas from others who have also had similar feelings about movies that either they or I then confirmed as being chiastic in their story structure.

I’ve pondered deeply on why I should find so many films that fall into this complex category of storytelling. You see, none of these articles have come from me. I believe that it is the Spirit of God that has helped me in this endeavor. Because of that, they must have been given to me for a purpose.

But I’ve been writing Cinematic Chiasmus articles blindly for the past 10 years, not knowing where this path was leading or why I was even on it. Recently, I decided to ask why I keep receiving the inspiration to write so many of these articles. I’ve written about 50 at this point.

I fasted and prayed for understanding, and the answer came much faster than I expected.

No Coincidence

My older brother (who writes for Nintendo Life) recently wrote a text to me in which he complimented me on Cinematic Chiasmus. He pointed out that it has inspired his family to discover chiasmus in the scriptures. There was also a really cool article about scriptural chiasmus that was sent to me by my father-in-law.

Both of those family members acted independently. I don’t think we’ve ever discussed chiasmus beyond films, but they both felt impressed to let me know that what I’ve written has had an effect on them. And they did it within a day of each other.

I knew it wasn’t a coincidence that both of them contacted me about exactly what I was praying and fasting about. In the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established, after all. So I asked for further knowledge from a third Witness, and I finally got my answer. The thing is, it’s both deeply personal and widely applicable to everything that’s going on right now in the world.

The Purpose of Cinematic Chiasmus

I feel that the reason I’ve been inspired to write about chiasmus so much is that the entire history of the world is one big chiasmus. From Adam to Jesus Christ, and from Jesus Christ to the Ancient of Days, everything that has happened could be put into the greatest chiasmus of all time.

I’ve pointed out before that I don’t know if the writers, directors, editors, and other people involved in filmmaking understand that they’re creating a chiasmus each time it happens. But I trust that there is a spark of the divine in this form of storytelling. To see the end from the beginning is a Godlike power. And I feel like that’s what we’re being given by the way world history has been laid out – an opportunity to see through God’s eyes and know what’s coming on the horizon.

I haven’t completed my chiasmus of the world. I don’t know if I can even do it justice because there are so many peoples and nations to account for. Thankfully, we have a streamlined history of the world in the scriptures where we get the highlights pointed out to us, so I’m doing my best to stick to those events while comparing them to other historical sources after the turning point between 1 A.D. and 34 A.D.

I love that the way we track time has a turning point from B.C. to A.D. And both measurements of time relate to Christ. That makes finding the turning point easy in this case, almost like it’s always been there waiting for us to discover it.

We’re Coming to the End of the Chiasmus

Why is this of such supreme importance? Not only because we can see the future, but because I believe that we are right on the cusp of the time that matches up with Noah’s Ark and the great flood. That flood nearly wiped out all mankind and other life on this world. Except this time it won’t be with water but with fire.

In Noah’s time, he was commanded to preach repentance to the people, but they didn’t listen. The best he could do was warn his family, prepare for the coming destruction, and save all that would come seeking safety.

There are many other similarities between our time and Noah’s, but perhaps I will share those in the future.

I plan to continue writing these kinds of articles, but now I won’t do so in the dark. I understand that what I’m doing is laying the groundwork and opening people’s eyes to the fact that the Second Coming of Jesus Christ is near. Finding chiasmus in films may seem like a small, trivial thing. But it helps us see how this type of unfolding works and then apply it to much greater things around us.

Thank you for reading. Hopefully this has been uplifting, and you’ve been able to get something out of what I’ve shared. Big things are coming, and I’m excited to be among those living to witness them unfold like a scroll.
