More and more biblically themed movies are coming out today in contrast with the Hollywood Woke-agenda that promotes decidedly anti-Bible, even anti-moral films. The largest of these studios is Angel Film Productions, a Mormon founded and owned film studio (Sound of Freedom, Truth and Treason, King of Kings (an animated film) and the extremely popular The Chosen series (which I strongly oppose as anything remotely biblical). Another is the Kendricks Brothers Productions that brought us films like War Room and The Forge. Previously we saw an Icon Production film (owned by Mel Gibson and Bruce Davey), The Passion of the Christ – an enormously successful film that Hollywood opposed. While the graphic nature of the film came closer to the historical Passion than any other film produced, it still actually fell short of the real event. It also was laced with various Roman Catholic themes but I find it a useful tool to present to the unsaved to give them a better grasp of the physical sufferings our LORD endured, and follow up with what His sacrifice was really about, and what it accomplished. When I saw a clip for another Angel Studios animated film, David, I liked what I saw visually and thematically, but I was cautious. Would there be Mormon theology laced in this film? As the premier came closer, I saw more and more clips from the film, and looking at the remarks after opening day, it seems this was very well received. The enthusiasm was palpable by adults, young people and children. So we decided to go and see the film for ourselves.

PART ONE-HOLY CHILD, DIVINE CHRIST

The virgin's name was Mary. 28 And having come in, the angel said to her, "Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!"
29 But when she saw him, she was troubled [disturbed, alarmed] at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was [I.O.W. “what could this possibly mean??”]. 30 Then the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 "And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son and shall call His name JESUS.

This resulted in a covenant between Abraham and GOD, that would include Abraham’s physical descendants (in the way of temporal blessings) as well as his spiritual descendants who exhibited the same faith in GOD as Abraham did (and inherit the kingdom of Israel (ACTS 1:6; REV 20) and become equal inheritors with the church and other saints in the eternal kingdom; REV 21 and 22).
This included his personal family line, starting with the son of promise, Isaac. Remember that before Isaac came, Abraham had Ishmael (through Hagar), but he wasn’t the son that GOD promised to come through Sarah; the one that GOD promised would be the vehicle by which all the world will be blessed!
We see how GOD’s promise to Abraham will carry on through Isaac and Jacob, and the twelve patriarchs.
