Excellent take Jocelyn. I’ve also compared the scene where Strange talks about looking at all those outcomes to find that only one comes out victorious. Students ask all the time, “why did God put the tree in the garden in the first place? Couldn’t that have avoided the fall?” Or they ask, “Isn’t God all knowing? Why didn’t He prevent Satan from talking to Adam and Eve?” I use the example from the movie with Dr. Strange. I compare it like this. God can see anything and everything at the same time. Past and future. God created us to bring glory to His name. Not to stay “sin-free.” I believe that God knows that this path that leads to Jesus on the cross is the path that brings the most glory to His name. Thus, He set the scene exactly how He knew it needed to be set. “We’re in the ENDGAME now.”

Too bad we can’t time travel yet, so we could go back and fix our mistakes!!

What? You made very little sense. The whole fact that these kinds of movies continue to discredit Christ proves the world’s hate for him. I did not see this movie the way you did at all. My son was also quick to point out the Santanic star in a scene where Dr. Strange is using his shield or whatever it is..

The backwards upside down kingdom is what many elites believe in. They insist on the unnatural. Ritual abuse to force obedience, and break their spirit and program(watch Cathy Obrien or Brice Taylor) often their children are given to others to raise(many world leaders now have famous parents that didn’t raise them). People however miss the obvious occult references that jesus hints at. Combining heaven and earth is the opposite of what a divide and conquer globalist like Soros does.

1.) This conversation:
“Dr. Stephen Strange : I went forward in time… to view alternate futures. To see all the possible outcomes of the coming conflict.
Peter Quill : How many did you see?
Dr. Stephen Strange : Fourteen million six hundred and five.
Tony Stark : How many did we win?
Dr. Stephen Strange : …One.”
This situation in which there was only one way to truly save the world, though it would take much sacrifice and would seem to work backwards or be counterproductive at times, reminds me of God’s plan of salvation! Jesus came and taught about a backwards/upside down kingdom in which the last will be first, those who give up their lives will find it, and requires a savior who would be killed and raise back to life in order to truly defeat evil.

2.) Ash Wednesday uses ashes to reflect on repentance, Jesus’ mission, and walking through Jesus’ journey toward His death; I imagine His followers thinking things like “Really? After all He did, this is how it ends? This can’t be the plan.” It makes me think about the end of “Infinity War”, when many main characters dissolve into ashes, and you’re left thinking “But, Dr. Strange said they would win! This can’t be the end of the movie! This is NOT happening.” (At least, that’s what I was thinking.) But we know that there’s another movie coming, the “End Game.” And we have hope that in this finale there’ll be some resolution and closure to this saga. And even MORE so, we know that Jesus rose from the dead, is alive NOW, and has promised to return to truly restore His creation. The story is far from over.

There is a part where the protective shield is breaking and instead of running away from these horrible creatures coming through they turn and charge. Risk, love , laying down your life for the greater cause . All come to mind
