The Bride of Frankenstein

[Protestant]

Have you ever noticed biblical prophecy hidden in secular horror films?

The Bride of Frankenstein is one such excellent example.

Frankenstein, a created manmade monster, desires a bride: the Bride of Frankenstein.

Antichrist, a created satanic-made monster, whose power, authority and position were bestowed by Satan, also desires a bride: the Bride of Antichrist.

In the biblical narrative found in Rev. 17, she is described as the Great Whore, a drunk, dripping in costly jewels, wearing purple and scarlet rather than the pristine white innocence of a virgin.

Her drink of choice? The blood of saints.

Rev. 17 tells of a true horror story too horrific for many to believe or grasp.

To horrific for many on this board to believe or grasp.

Satan has foisted his greatest delusion upon the world.

It comprises the Roman Catholic Church, the bride, and her head, her husband, the Pope.

The Pope, in reality a beastly monster though claiming to be the Vicar of Christ who comes in the righteous name of Christ, professes to be the moral voice of God to the world.

Though he speaks blasphemies like a dragon, insulting, at every turn, the very Lord he claims to love and serve, the world of the reprobate, both pseudo-Christian and non, are drawn to him, responding positively to his call for adoration, honor and praise.

His subjugated bride is mesmerized and awed by his beauty, fair words, signs and lying wonders.

As is the bride of Frankenstein.

While the reprobate world wonders in admiration at the Antichrist and his bride, God’s elect, though few, are keenly aware of the enormous hypocrisy and lies spun by his father, the father of lies.

They alone are able to discern the fulfillment of prophecy before their very eyes.

Unlike Futurists who are always searching but never finding the arch enemy of Christ and His virgin bride.

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

Frankenstein, a created manmade monster, desires a bride: the Bride of Frankenstein.

The creator of Frankenstein was a man, who lived the average lifespan of a man. Frankenstein also, the creation of that man, did not outlive the lifespan of the man who created it. No man can live throughout a number of centuries. Let that be very clear in the interpretation of these passages.

Antichrist, a created satanic-made monster, whose power, authority and position were bestowed by Satan, also desires a bride: the Bride of Antichrist.

The Antichrist is a man, a man that will be possessed by Satan. Realize however that Revelation 13 speaks of two different beasts that must not be confused with each other: the first beast is the Antichrist, and the second is the False Prophet, a religious figure that helps the Antichrist.

In the biblical narrative found in Rev. 17, she is described as the Great Whore, a drunk, dripping in costly jewels, wearing purple and scarlet rather than the pristine white innocence of a virgin.

Revelation 17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:

Revelation 14:8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.

What is being described here is the final world system which no one has seen yet. In Rev.14:8 the Great City of Babylon is described as already fallen. It is a city of prostitution (idolatry or religious apostasy). The same imagery is found in the OT.
The colors of purple and scarlet are colors of royalty, nobility and wealth. The woman is portrayed as a prostitute who has become very successful and wealthy. She is a religious city as well. She lures nations into her grasp. That sounds ecumenical, but it is filthy and immoral. The Bible refers to it as spiritual fornication.

Her drink of choice? The blood of saints.

The interpretation of this verse has been disputed. The point is that she is a murderer.

Rev. 17 tells of a true horror story too horrific for many to believe or grasp.

Even if you believe it is the Pope, you have to choose one. Which one? The Antichrist and False Prophet both, are real people. They can only live one life. Was it John Paul II, Benedict, Francis, John XXIII, etc. Which one?

The Pope, in reality a beastly monster though claiming to be the Vicar of Christ who comes in the righteous name of Christ, professes to be the moral voice of God to the world.

Though he speaks blasphemies like a dragon, insulting, at every turn, the very Lord he claims to love and serve, the world of the reprobate, both pseudo-Christian and non, are drawn to him, responding positively to his call for adoration, honor and praise.

His subjugated bride is mesmerized and awed by his beauty, fair words, signs and lying wonders.

As is the bride of Frankenstein.

While the reprobate world wonders in admiration at the Antichrist and his bride, God’s elect, though few, are keenly aware of the enormous hypocrisy and lies spun by his father, the father of lies.

They alone are able to discern the fulfillment of prophecy before their very eyes.

The Antichrist will come on the scene after the Rapture. He will be a one world leader and will make political alliances as is described here in this chapter.

Revelation 17:7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the seven heads and ten horns.
--Note the beast (the Antichrist) with the political alliances mentioned--seven heads and ten horns.
The woman is different than the beast. The woman is the False Prophet. She will set up a one world church to go along with the Antichrist's one world government. Both will work together. Eventually the Antichrist will do away with the False Prophet.

Unlike Futurists who are always searching but never finding the arch enemy of Christ and His virgin bride.

The enemy of Christ is Satan. Someday he will takehold of the man of sin and rebel against God, but God shall overthrow him. God's wrath will be poured out on this earth during a period of seven years called the Great Tribulation.

Now don't go upsetting Rick Warren and his Homey the Pope.

The Antichrist has not yet come into history, not been revealed yet, neither as his false prophet, and the Bride/Whore of Babylon might by the Church of rome, but not yet in history!

The creator of Frankenstein was a man, who lived the average lifespan of a man...

The author of Frankenstein, Mary Shelley, died rather young.


...but of course you're writing about the fictional creator.

The scientists name was Frankenstein.

Yes, the point remains the same. People don't live forever. The antichrist is a person, not an organization, a machine, etc. He is a person and in the Bible is always referred to as "he." He is the man of sin. He is a person. He is still to come. He will meet death. He will meet his death when Christ comes again.
Since Christ hasn't come again it is doubtful that the antichrist is alive today.

I enjoy reading novels chiefly because I often find that the same themes found in the bible often are reinforced in a fictional tale.

I find "Protestant's" interpretation unfulfilling personally but have no problem allowing him to interpret the tale in a way that brings it meaning to him.

In middle school English class (just a few years back) we often read "Scholastic Readers" [a bunch of short stories] and sat around proposing our own personal interpretation of what the author was implying in the story about the culture of the time.

Dracula, now there's a religious fiction novel with enormous possibilities!
