Once again we journey to middle earth and plunge into the allegorical depths of a genius author J. R. Tolkiens Lord of the Rings - the Two Towers -

as the voice of one thousand prophets speaking to our times - l.o.t.r. lifts the veils from our eyes and pulls back the curtain from this present age revealing what is unfolding right before us.

"they do not see what lies ahead when the sun has failed and the moon is dead."-smeagol

A small band of loyal to the death outcasts against the innumerable armies of darkness who must encourage each other to never give up and not let their mission fail no matter how hopeless the odds seem - no matter how strong the lure of evil becomes  ( a good reflection of saints in a sinners world)

an antichrist (Saruman).. a devil (Sauron) gathering the armies of the world together to fight a war to end all wars. ripped right from the pages of revelation - right from the headlines of our times..
 
Leading them is one who sacrificed His life for them (at the end of the fellowship of the ring ) went down into the pit.. defeated the beast then ascended on high and came back to them Resurrected with greater power. I believe Gandalf the white was to be an allogary of  Our leader and King Jesus who also comes riding on a white horse glowing with the brightness of the sun and will return from the east at the War to end all wars that leaves all other wars in shadow. At which all the armies of the world are gathered against Him and His..

WE must bring hope to the hopeless ..as Aragorn declared so must we ,"There is always hope"! Bringing out the greatness in those considered the least.. believing in them when no one else does as Frodo did with Gollum... reminding him he was realy  smeagol ..giving him a chance...trusting him when Sam said there was no hope for him and called him names....
 oh the inner battle between good and evil , flesh and spirit ..gollum and smeagol we all face...voices in our heads telling us lies.. luring us from truth to paths of darkness.

  As Frodo we to are on a quest to free the world of evil that will cost our lives ..and we to must resist the lure of evil and the power and pleasures of the temporal world it offers...Realize our Destiny our purpose is much greater...many are depending on us as Gandalf declared all our hopes lie in the hands of two hobbits...So God has entrusted much to us and to who much is given much is required...arise to the challenge of our times...

There is so much to explore in this movie ..it will take some time so this will be an on going page that will grow as we explore the depths together and  await the Kings Return .....
to be continued....
