The planet "Arrakis" was a desert planet, where
not one drop of rain had fallen from the skies for centuries.
This setting in the film "
Dune" very accurately describes
the lack of spiritual rain (from God, Who is a Spirit-Being -
Num. 23:19;
John 4:23-24) we are experiencing here on Earth today, which is why Christ asked if He would find faith on Earth upon His Second Coming (
Luke 18:8).
Revelation 11:3-7
11:3 And I will give [power] unto my
Two Witnesses (
Isa. 43:12), and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred [and] threescore "days", clothed in sackcloth. (42 months of 30 "days" each = 1260 "days", each day for a year -
Num. 14:34;
Ezekiel 4:6;
Dan. 12:7).
11:4
These are the two "Olive" trees, and the two candlesticks (Ephraim and Manasseh) standing before the God of the Earth.
11:5 And if any man will hurt them, fire (gun-fire which looked as though it) proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
11:6
These have power to shut heaven, that it "rain" (spiritually) not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over "waters" (
ch. 17:15) to turn them to blood (reds/communists), and to smite the Earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
11:7 And when they shall have finished their Testimony (the 1260 "days" ended on 9/Dec./1917 - the day that Jerusalem was liberated from Gentile domination by Israel - British forces -
Ezekiel 25:14), the beast (system - Satanic-Communism) that ascendeth out of the Bottomless Pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and KILL them.
The "
Two Witnesses" are
NOT two individuals that show up during these
end-times, as many in "Christianity"
wrongly teach (
Matt. 24:5;
Matt. 23:10). The two "Olive Trees" and two candlesticks are the U.S. and U.K., which are about to be defeated in WW3, as punishment for not keeping their Covenant with God to keep The Law He gave us.
Had Ephraim (the English) and Manasseh (the Americans) kept The Law, God would be blessing them right now instead of punishing/cursing them.
So
Dune is a very interesting film, depicting both Scripture prophecy and how to defeat the evil system with "the (right) hand of God" (The Angel/Messenger of God).
