Avatar's Pandoran Prophecy

By definition a prophecy is a statement by someone who predicts the future. When this prediction comes to pass then faith in the predictor, or prophet, is established. Then the next question would be where did the prediction come from since most people do not know the future on their own. In the Bible the only One who knows the future is God, for He claims to know the end from the beginning and that there is no one else who knows. Isaiah 46:9-10

In the movie Avatar, there is no specific prophecy mentioned but since James Cameron appears to be using a Judeo/Christian system of symbols we can draw some interesting insights from the materials that were presented. We know that the people from Earth had found large deposits of Unobtanium on Pandora. We know that this mineral is selling for 20+ Million dollars a kilo. We know that the Na’vi were able to drive off the corporate miners for a period of time. We also know that the needs of Earth have not changed and we know that the mind set of the people who need Unobtanium have not changed so we should be able to predict that the people from Earth will come back for another try at getting their “drug” of choice.

We can also predict certain behaviors off their behaviors in the past, for Ecclesiastes 1:9 says that “The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be, and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.” In an old movie by Robert Deniro called “The Mission” there is a message sent to the Roman Catholic Church about certain events in the new world of South America. After pondering the ramifications of all involved the decision is made that the people involved in the international event in South America should be killed so that political issues in Europe would not blow out of proportion. This concept is repeated in John 11:47-53. In this story Caiaphas the leader of the Jewish religious counsel called the Sanhedrin, prophesied that Jesus needed to die – one mans death for the sake of the nation – was approved of by God. So the prophecy was fulfilled, Jesus did die for the nation. So we should predict that Earth will try again to get the mineral of their desire and the sacrifice of a small set of tribes, that no one is sympathetic to on Earth is a small price to pay for the safety and functionality of Earth.

In the Pandoran prophecy Jake Sulley died for the nation of the Na’vi was resurrected and went on to lead the people to victory over the invaders. In order to do that he had to bond with the Great Leonopteryx and by this bonding he reveals to the Na’vi that he is in harmony with Ewya and is approved to lead them into battle. Thus he becomes the 6th Toruk Makto. Since we are using Judeo/Christian symbolism this would indicate that a 7th and final Toruk Makto will come. The number 7 is a major symbol in the Bible and 6 is an unfulfilled symbol – a symbol for fallen mankind.

With these thoughts in mind let us prophesy about the coming events for Pandora. James Cameron has indicated that Avatar will be a 2-3 film series. In at least one of the coming movies should be another attempt by Earth to overthrow the Na’vi to get to the Unobtanium. By this time we should have a son of Jake Sulley and Neytiri that should be coming of age by that time. He will undoubtedly have heard of his father’s and mother’s exploits and he will have to decide if he will follow in their footsteps to deliver the people. This will create the setting for the developmental struggles on both sides to enhance the next movie(s). For this to become complete, within the settings of the spiritual symbolism, Jake’s son will have to decide to be the 7th Toruk Makto – the final Deliverer. This of course will require and Armageddon (Revelation 16) to match the symbolism.

This same issue will also have to be addressed in real life as well. In the Bible Jesus is the Real Deliverer. He has come to earth and He will come again to deliver His people in the “time of the end”. One of the names given to Jesus is that He was the Creator God of the Eden story (Colossians 1:12-18). The sign, or symbol, of His Creatorship is that of the 7th day. He came to earth to die for man, He was resurrected, and He will return to rescue the people from the forces of the greedy, sinful people of the earth. He will come riding on a symbolic beast (Revelation 19), He will be recognized by the true people and He will have victory in the battle of Armageddon. He will make all things right, He will pass judgment on the evil, destroy them once and for all, and will create a peaceful Eden once more on Earth. His people will have peace everlasting and they will participate in all of the wonderful things God has planned for His people to keep them ever growing, developing, and to be of service.

I hope that all will learn the truth from the Pandoran prophecy and find the True Deliverer – Jesus Christ.
