Our supernatural messengers.

I have recently been watching Vampire Diaries with my daughter, Julia. I must admit that there is something alluring about the series, other than the fascinating wardrobe. Albeit their mannerisms, beliefs, and symbols are rather intriguing too, I do however feel there is something more profound.
Based on a series of books by the same name, The Vampire Diaries has managed to add new energy to each household that it has 'been invited into', as vampires may only enter a home once invited. The drama television series, which was developed by Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec tells a story of supernatural beings, doppelgängers and witches, as it explains the origins of the family of Original Vampires, each and all justifying their own subterfuge in a small fictional town.

However, is this series, the Hobbit, Harry Potter or any supernatural movie far from the truth when it actually comes down to the sacred scriptures? Can media not aid us in becoming more aware of enlightenment?


Not all angels are of 'angelic nature'.
"As messengers of death is the king's wrath,
But a wise man will appease it."
Proverbs 16:14

He cast on them the fierceness of His anger,
Wrath, indignation, and trouble,
By sending angels of destruction among them
Psalm. 78:49

An evil man seeks only rebellion;
Therefore a cruel messenger will be sent against him.
Proverbs. 17:11

Psalm 104:4 Angels have supernatural qualities of spirit and fire of 'messengers'.

Who makes His angels spirits,
His ministers a flame of fire,
You who laid the foundations of the earth,
So that it should not be moved forever,
You covered it with the deep as with a garment
The waters stood above the mountains
At Your rebuke they fled;
At the voice of Your thunder they hastened away.

I leave you with a wonderful poem with which to ponder.

The Raven

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore –
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
"Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door –
Only this and nothing more."

Quoted from Edgar Allan Poe

I guess there are many ways in which life, religion, or spirituality is an analogy to our 'Where's Waldo' approach.
