The most celebrated movie of the year depicted a serpent god having intimate relations with a human woman.
A “Fairytale Romance”![]()
“…the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose..” – Genesis 6:2.
VIDEO LINK And here is the synopsis: “Elisa is a mute, isolated woman who works as a cleaning lady in a hidden, high-security government laboratory in 1962 Baltimore. Her life changes forever when she discovers the lab’s classified secret — a mysterious, scaled creature from South America that lives in a water tank. As Elisa develops a unique bond with her new friend, she soon learns that its fate and very survival lies in the hands of a hostile government agent and a marine biologist.” ![]()
Elisa develops a bond with the amphibious serpent hybrid that soon turns into a romantic relationship.
“He’s not an animal, he’s an elemental river god,” says del Toro. “It’s a movie where a woman falls in love with an elemental god of the water. The creature is not a slimy monster from a B-movie. He’s the shape of water. He’s a representation of a river, of the water as a force. And he’s gorgeous. He’s – we jokingly used to say, we’re going to create the Michelangelo’s David of amphibian men.” (source).The movie also goes out of its way to emphasize the notion that the Asset is a deity. “The natives in the Amazon worshiped it as a god,” says project leader Colonel Richard Strickland in the film. In Brazilian mythology there are many gods but Boiuna, is known as the “personification of the Amazonian rivers.” It is a serpent creature that can change its shape and form to frighten unsuspecting travelers and destroy them. In the Bible the Devil is known as: “… the great dragon…that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world” (Revelation 12:9). In the movie the Asset has superhuman abilities. It can understand and communicate in sign language. It restores the hair of a balding character and later its own blood is shown to heal that man of a wound. When the villainous Strickland shoots the Asset multiple times, it falls to the ground only to stand up again – fully healed. At this point Strickland responds “…you are a god”before the reptilian hybrid kills him. But rather than being a monster, the Asset is a sympathetic figure who deeply loves Elisa. She remarks on how it knows her on a level that surpasses any human being. She no longer feels ashamed of her scars or muteness around him. They have touching, heart-felt moments together as she attempts to introduce the hybrid creature to human culture. And the movie shows graphic depictions of their intimacy. Leaving no doubt that Elisa and the god-like amphibian creature have a sexual relationship. All this bears striking resemblance to the account of Genesis 6 when rebellious angels entered the earthly realm and took human women as wives: “And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” – Genesis 6:1-5.As covered in the Beginning And End Nephilim Series, the incursion by the fallen Sons of God led to intimate relations with human women and the birth of the Nephilim – human-angelic hybrid giants who dominated the antediluvian world and brought humanity to the brink of destruction (necessitating the global flood which restarted humanity with Noah and his family). As shown in our article ‘The Nephilim And Pop Culture’ in recent years there have been numerous books, TV shows and movies which reference the account of Genesis 6 and the Nephilim. But in each instance the message of the Bible is distorted. The illicit relations between humans and angels led to the humanity becoming genetically and spiritually corrupted. The giants were a threat to the redemption of humanity itself as they had the potential to corrupt the gene pool and the birth of the Promised Messiah. Yet in pop culture, the romance between the gods and humans or hybrid creatures and humans are depicted as beautiful, touching romances where the Nephilim are often heroic and even Messianic figures. All the while, God is portrayed as an angry, irrational despot trying to ruin “true love.” In The Shape of Water, the Asset in addition to his healing powers, resurrects Elisa from the dead after she is shot by Strickland. He turns the scars on her neck into gills so that she can breathe underwater and they can remain together forever. Thus, he bestows immortality upon her. This is precisely the point made in our article The Nephilim And The Great Secret Of The Occult, where Beginning And End detailed the expectation in the New Age and the occult for the fallen angelic host to return to Earth and endow humanity with all manner of supernatural abilities. Guillermo Del Toro – A History of Occult Movies![]()
In Pan’s Labyrinth, Del Toro explored the love and relationship between a demonic being and a 12-year old girl.
Pan is revered in occult circles as a god of fertility, rampant sexuality and mischief. Albert Pike, an occultist and revered Freemason wrote of Pan: “Satan is not a black god, but negation of God … this is not a Person, but a Force, created for good, but which may represent evil. It is the instrument of Liberty or Free Will. They represent this Force … under the mythologic and horned form of the God Pan; thence came the he-goat of the Sabbat, brother of the Ancient Serpent, and the Light-bearer. “ – Albert Pike, Morals and Dogma, p. 102. ![]() Del Toro also said the movie was influenced by The Great God Pan, a 19th century British horror novel by Arthur Machen. The Great God Pan’s plot centered on a scientist who wanted to experiment on a subject’s brain to allow them to “see the great god Pan” – essentially using brain surgery to open a person’s “third eye” to see into the spirit realm and view the Devil himself. Soon a woman is selected for the experiment and it turns out that in her interactions with Satan she is sexually assaulted, impregnated and gives birth to a hybrid child who later has supernatural abilities. The young girl leads other children into the forest where they return in a state of undress. She also seen playing in the woods with a “naked man.” And as an adult she terrorizes the many men she marries by allowing them to “see Pan” which causes them to commit suicide. And this was Del Toro’s inspiration for Pan’s Labyrinth. Del Toro also directed Hellboy Parts 1 and 2, which were about a demon summoned from hell to work for the Nazis. The Bible warns: “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” (1 John 4:1) What kind of spirit is guiding movies like Pan’s Labyrinth and The Shape of Water? Is it a spirit of God? Do not be deceived. The Shape of Water Casts Christians As The Villains![]()
Guillermo Del Toro no doubt intended professing Christian Colonel Strickland to be the monster of the film.
He repeatedly references the account of Samson and Delilah from the book of Judges – viewing himself as Samson – the anointed Judge who God bestowed supernatural strength to. In the Biblical account, Samson was betrayed by Delilah, who told the Philistines of his secret – that his hair could never be cut, or he would lose his strength. In The Shape of Water, Strickland remarks that Samson was a hero because even after suffering the loss of his hair and strength, he called on God who returned his supernatural might one last time to allow Samson to destroy his enemies (even though it required him losing his own life). In The Shape of Water, Elisa betrays Strickland and is cast as the hero for doing it – turning the Biblical account on its head. In the end, Strickland acknowledges that the Asset is a god – showing that he no longer even had his faith in the God of the Bible in his final moments. ![]()
The Story of Ruth being shown in Elisa’s building is one of the subtle allusions to the Bible in The Shape Of Water.
Poor and without social status, Ruth ends up meeting and marrying the successful and noble Israelite Boaz. And their family ultimately becomes a part of the lineage of King David and The Lord Jesus Christ. Presumably, The Shape of Water is somehow comparing this wonderful story of faith and love to Elisa’s love affair and fornication with an animal-human hybrid. In the book of Isaiah, the Bible states: “Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink: Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!” – Isaiah 5:20-23.Del Toro who describes himself as raised Catholic but now a “raging atheist” creates films that attempt to make sympathetic, heroic figures out of spirits summoned from hell, demonic goat hybrids who prey on children and amphibious hybrid creatures that seek to have illicit relations with human women. All the while Christians and those who actually question such depictions are the villains. Be Wary of Hollywood’s Message“And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” – Romans 12:2.Time and time again, Hollywood attempts to preach its own message of what is right, moral and praiseworthy. And it rarely ever involves God, The Lord Jesus Christ or the Bible. Movies and media have such a power over the hearts and minds of society it is hard to even grasp how the constant bombardment of pop culture entertainment influences us. Therefore, it is critical to maintain a right relationship with God. The book of 1 John states that: “…the whole world lieth in wickedness.” We should not look to Hollywood to learn about the meaning of love (especially considering the horrific litany of sexual harassment and assault scandals) or to know who God is. We should look to God’s Word. The true God – the God of The Bible, proved His love not by sending His Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross and take the punishment for our sins. God’s love for us was not conditioned on our loving Him. It was given even though we did not love Him. God says: “…Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with loving kindness have I drawn thee.” (Jeremiah 31:3).When Jesus Christ was beaten and mocked on the way to His unjust execution on the cross, He prayed to God the Father to forgive those who were hurting Him. This is what God wants: reconciliation and peace with a people who have run rampant into sinful desires and lusts heaping praises on our works and celebrating our version of love – even if it is between an amphibious demon and a human being. Despite this, God still loves us. Pray that Guillermo Del Toro will spend less time trying to attack God and repent and receive the true love that Hollywood could never fabricate. |

Once again demonstrating that the pop culture industry has no qualms about disrespecting the Christian faith, Australian rapper Iggy Azalea took the blasphemy against God to new heights in her video ‘Savior.’ The video, filmed entirely in a church, features satanic, sexualized and blasphemous imagery all the while subtle promoting the false gospel that salvation comes from within a person and not from God.
According to the rapper (who though having a heavy Australian accent raps with a faux American southern dialect for marketing purposes) explained the reasoning behind the video which was written during a “dark period” in her life when her career and engagement were falling apart: “The song is isn’t about ‘needing a man or a woman to come and save you in a relationship,” but rather about you as “your own savior and finding your own strength within yourself to figure it the f— out.” (source).Well despite her own statements, the video shows a message that is distinctly anti-Christian. The video opens with Azalea wearing lingerie and writhing in a bed that is placed at the location of the pulpit of a church. The precise location of where God’s Word is to be preached. Webster’s 1828 dictionary (which was based on the language of the King James Bible) defines blasphemy as: “An indignity offered to God by words or writing; reproachful, contemptuous or irreverent words uttered impiously against Jehovah.Why would an artist use such a sacred place for millions of people for an erotic display in their video? It is the product of an unsaved heart that has no gear of God in it. The Lord Jesus Christ said: “But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:” – Matthew 15:18-19. The Occult Madonna Symbolism![]()
Azalea walks with a halo and pyramid directly overhead – symbolism from ancient Babylonian mysteries.
![]() These works, which seek to promote the very heretical notion that Mary herself is a deity to be prayed to, has no Biblical basis whatsoever. For centuries the Catholic Church has promoted the notion that Mary is a “co-redemptrix” – providing salvation alongside The Lord Jesus Christ. There are many scripted, rote rosary prayers that Catholics all over the world memorize to pray to her. Reciting a “hail Mary” is often used to seek God’s forgiveness. None of this is Biblical and it is all in clear violation and disobedience to God’s Word. Scripture is clear: “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;” (1 Timothy 2:5). Jesus Christ alone serves as the mediator between humanity and God The Father. It is Christ’s atoning work on the cross that provides forgiveness – not any action by Mary. Mary was indeed a special woman as she was chosen by God to give birth to The Messiah. This was an honor she readily acknowledged and in humble obedience agreed to. But she is not supernatural, sinless or on par with The Lord. This of course has not stopped Pope Francis from praying to statues of Mary and even placing a crown on a statue of Mary to proclaim her “Queen of Heaven.” This title stems from Babylonian mystery religions: “Once people began to worship the mother more than the child, Babylonian priests felt forced to issue an edict deifying the mother also. After the passage of still more time, “her son’s birth was boldly declared to be miraculous, and therefore she was called …the Virgin Mother.” (p.76) “The highest titles were then bestowed upon her. She was called the Queen of Heaven. In Egypt, she was styled Athor, i.e., the Habitation of God to signify that in her dwelt all the ‘fulness of the Godhead'”. (p.77) From this pagan beginning, the story of the Virgin Mother(Queen of Heaven) spread throughout the world.” (source).In the book of Jeremiah, the Israelites were rebuked by the prophet and punished by God for giving offerings to “the Queen of Heaven”: “Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.” – Jeremiah 7:17-18.As she approaches her “groom” the hood is lifted and there is no one there. This was presumably an ode to her broken relationship with professional basketball player Nick Young. The wedding scene is interspersed with a shot of Azalea rapping at the front of the church and notice the shape of the pendant she is wearing: ![]() The pendant is subtly similar to the shape of the Baphomet – the goat headed figure of Satan created by occultist Eliphas Levy. ![]() Of this symbol, Anton LaVey, former head of the Church of Satan wrote: “The symbol of Baphomet was used by the Knights Templar to represent Satan. Through the ages this symbol has been called by many different names. Among these are: The Goat of Mendes, The Goat of a Thousand Young, The Black Goat, The Judas Goat, and perhaps the most appropriately, The Scapegoat.” (source). Occult Baptism – The Dying And Rising GodThe next scene features Iggy Azalea being placed into a baptismal pool. Baptism is of course one of two rites mandated by Jesus Christ in the New Testament (the other being The Lord’ Supper). It is a new Christian’s signature on the covenant they enter with God when they believe in The Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of their sins (and a replacement for circumcision – which served the same purpose in the Old Covenant). Jesus commanded His disciples to go all over the world “…baptizing in the name of The Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost.” (Matthew 28:19). It is indeed a very special and powerful moment in the life of a born-again Christian.But how is the baptism of Iggy Azalea portrayed in the Savior video? Certainly not in a God-honoring manner. Azalea is fully immersed in the baptismal pool as if she is taking a bath. She is wearing a lingerie corset and a hooded figure presses her under the water to drown her: ![]() This is all an ode to occult rituals centered on the dying and rising god. Whether it be freemasonry or witchcraft, for centuries, ancient mystery religions have had rituals based on the myth of a god who would die and rise from the dead again: “A dying-and-rising god is born, suffers a death-like experience, and is subsequently reborn. A dying-and-rising, death-rebirth, or resurrection deity is a religious motif in which a god or goddess dies and is resurrected.” (source).Freemason philosopher Manly P. Hall wrote in his occult encyclopedia, The Secret Teachings of All Ages: “The Dying God shall rise again!… he time may yet come when the chants of the Illumined shall be heard once more in its ancient passageways and the Master of the Hidden House shall await in the Silent Place for the coming of that man who, casting aside the fallacies of dogma and tenet, seeks simply Truth and will be satisfied with neither substitute nor counterfeit.” (p. 120). ![]() The hooded figure is soon revealed to be Azalea herself – showing her willingness to sacrifice her life and be her own savior. When she emerges from the baptismal she is clearly reborn: ![]() Exiting the baptism, Azalea lies on the church floor surrounded by candles presumably in the shape of angels’ wings. He corset even has feathers to demonstrate her angelic rebirth: ![]() It is at this point that the congregation begins to raise their hands in praise and worship. Though they previously appeared comatose or in a trance, they are now energized and excited to worship the reborn goddess before them. ![]() The video ends with a bizarre looking figure who was playing the pipe organ holding up his hands in a pyramid symbol. ![]() Losing Your Soul – The High Price Of Fame“Again, the devil taketh [Jesus] up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.” – Matthew 4:8-10.When the Devil made this offer to Jesus Christ it was no idle boast. Satan is referred to as “the prince of this world” and “the god of this world” in the New Testament. But the “world” he rules over is the temporary age of this world today. Jesus Christ is Lord and will come to reclaim the Earth from Satan forever. But in the meantime, the Devil bestows worldly treasures, power and influence to those who do his bidding. Time and time again, Hollywood entertainers are more than willing to promote fornication, violence, murder, suicide and even outright satanic worship to secure money and fame. In our first article on Iggy Azalea, Beginning And End detailed how she achieved stardom making some of the most perverse, profanity-laced music of her genre. She also became infamous for twerking and striking graphic, overtly sexual poses in her videos and photo shoots. When an artist is willing to lead millions of children and adult fans into sinful rebellion they have a chance to align with Satan. Having run into a clear need of a career boost, Azalea now resorted to blaspheming Christianity outright. ![]()
“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” – Matthew 8:36.
Azalea seems to have found a great deal of emptiness, pain and despair despite being “on top of the world.” Pop culture history is filled with tragic tales of artists who took their lives in their prime of their success because they could not handle the literal and figurative demons that plagued them. The Devil is the enemy of humanity and trying to “make a deal” to achieve worldly fame and success will lead down the dark road many of the biggest entertainers of all time have trod – dying alone, depressed, drug addicted and with no hope. Do not be deceived. If you are a Christian pray for Iggy Azalea and all those associated with her blasphemous video to repent of their sin against God. And stand up for the faith – share the Gospel and help bring the unsaved into the Church of God. If you are not a Christian – at some point you must ask yourself why so many pop stars continually attack and disrespect Christianity in their music videos? Why is it that despite all their money and worldly glory, these stars are so depressed they want to end their own lives before even reaching the age of 30? It is because without God, there is no peace. Without Jesus Christ there is no true joy. No amount of money can buy the peace that comes from knowing your sins are forgiven and you are reconciled to God. Jesus Christ died on the cross, so you can have that peace. Jesus Christ said: “I will build my church and not even the gates of hell shall prevail against it.” Let’s pray Iggy Azalea and others stop disrespecting Christ’s church and instead go to it for free forgiveness and joy no one can ever take away. |
