Noah - Artistic License...or Total Blasphemy?

1. First, from the studio, Paramount’s disclaimer:

“The film is inspired by the story of Noah. While artistic license has been taken, we believe that this film is true to the essence, values, and integrity of a story that is a cornerstone of faith for millions of people worldwide. The biblical story of Noah can be found in the book of Genesis.”

2. Artistic license? Some of what Paramount terms “artistic license” can be discerned in this next quote:

“Darren Aronofsky and co-writer Ari Handel pepper the story with a number of flashier ingredients, some fairly routine and others less so. These include Noah’s hulking army of four-armed rock giants, an elaboration on the fallen angels known as Nephilim, who initially resist Noah’s cries for help and eventually aid in the construction of the Ark; the screenwriters also give Noah a single antagonist, in the form of the scheming Tubal-Cain (Ray Winstone), who manages to wind up as the Ark’s sole human stowaway and attempt to surpass even the will of the Creator to restart civilization…Nobody in “Noah” ever says the word “God.”

“True to the essence” is the claim. How can leaving God out of the biblical story of Noah be “true to the essence”? Moreover, the ‘Nephilim’ theme is apparently predominant. Entering into the Nephilim debate here is not the point, but that the movie essentially puts Nephilim, i.e. “fallen angels”, Lucifer’s cohorts in heavenly rebellion against God Himself [Rev. 12:9], as Noah’s helpers. Message?

Obvious is it not – fallen angels, aka devils, not God, are actually the saviors of mankind. And why should anybody have a problem with that? According to the filmmakers these are the true values and integrity of the biblical account of Noah. Message? Obvious again – ‘Nephilim’ aka devils good; God..? – what about him [The producers commit the same sin God punished with the flood. Deut. 32:15-18]? Artistic license…or total blasphemy?

3. Talmudic – Kabbalistic scripted; Agenda 21 global-warming themed:

1. Aronofsky has confided to his confreres that his “Biblical epic” will actually have a Kabbalistic and Enochian [Enoch - fallen angels aka nephilim] foundation hitched to the Cryptocracy’s depopulation agenda. [source]

2. “Aronofsky has admitted that “Noah” was being written by “two not very religious Jewish guys,” (so they called upon Rabbi Dennis, author of the “Encyclopedia of Jewish Myth, Magic and Mysticism” (Llewellyn Publications), and a 2007 National Book Award finalist, to give a Jewish sense of the story.

Aronofsky…told The New Yorker, “There is a huge statement in the film, a strong message about the coming flood from global warming.” Aronofsky told other entertainment reporters: “It’s about environmental apocalypse which is the biggest theme, for me, right now, for what’s going on on this planet. … Noah was the first environmentalist.”

After seeing an undated script, Brian Godawa, a screenwriter and the author of a novel, “Noah Primeval,” articulated the Christian critique on Breitbart.com. The film, he writes, presents us with “an anachronistic doomsday scenario of ancient global warming. How Neolithic man was able to” destroy the environment “without the ‘evil’ carbon emissions of modern industrial revolution is not explained.”

Postmodernists “changing the meaning of texts to suit their agenda … is manipulative narcissistic nonsense. … Was Noah the first environmentalist and animal rights activist? Was themoral failure of man in Genesis, disrespect for the environment? Was that why God completely destroyed the environment and killed all of the animals of the land except those on the ark? Of course not.”

If you want to see Aronofsky’s original vision, says Rabbi Dennis, “You need to see his French comic book of Noah [available on Amazon]. It’s a storyboard for a movie.” There is a reference, said the rabbi, to six-winged angels in Isaiah. The film refers to the Tzohar, the gemstone given by an angel to Adam, and used by Noah for illumination in the ark. Watchers (thought to be the Fallen Angels), is found in the apocryphal Book of Enoch, written by Noah’s great-grandfather.”  [source]

Jewish myth, magic, and mysticism is called the Kabbalah. The Kabbalah has nothing to do with the God of the Bible. Absolutely nothing. It does have to do with sorcery though.

Note the above reference to the word “tzohar” being said to refer to a gemstone “given by an angel to Adam” and in the movie used by Noah to light the ark, as apparently in the movie the ark is window-less. A magical stone to “illuminate the ark”? The English translation for the Hebrew word ‘tsohar’ in the bible is window.

 Put a window (tsohar) in the ark, God told Noah: Gen. 6:16 ‘A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.’ No, say the Talmudic-Kabbalists, that is much too dull, let’s rewrite that and instead of having a window let’s make it into a magical stone that illuminates. Interesting to note is the fact that the main book of Kabbalists is called the Zohar.

 It to them is their source of mystical magical “illumination” [link]. Whether or not there is a direct correlation between the two terms was not able to be determined with any certainty. Seems likely though.
