2012 Movie Shows Destruction of the Vatican

A reader forwarded me the following article related to Sony’s upcoming 2012 movie:

The maker of the upcoming apocalyptic film “2012” has conceded he enjoyed orchestrating the visual disintegration of the world’s religious symbols, such as the Vatican and the famous statue of Jesus overlooking Rio de Janeiro.

But he left an Islamic symbol alone because he feared the reaction from the Muslim world.

In an interview with the online SciFiWire website, Roland Emmerich said he had considered including the destruction of the Kaaba, the cube-shaped structure in Mecca worshiped by Muslims as being built by Abraham and his son Ishmael.

“Well, I wanted to do that, I have to admit,” Emmerich said. “But my co-writer Harald [Kloser] said I will not have a fatwa on my head because of a movie. And he was right. … We have to all … in the Western world … think about this.”…

The new movie depicts the destruction of Rome, Rio and Washington. The White House gets it when a wave carries the aircraft carrier John F. Kennedy and drops it atop the structure, and St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican rolls over onto a crowd of the faithful…

“Because I’m against organized religion,” he said. http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=115011

While I will not comment now on Roland Emmerich’s views on religion, it may be of interest to note that although flooding is not supposed to be the cause, there are biblical and non-biblical prophecies that indicate that Rome will fall.

Some of Catholic predictions associated with this are included in the article Catholic Prophecies: Do They Mirror, Highlight, or Contradict Biblical Prophecies?

A more detailed and in-depth sequence, including how certain non-biblical predictions line up with biblical passages, is available in my book 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect.

BTW, we just got the printed copies of my book in Spanish this week and it is available at 2012 y el surgimiento de la secta secreta.
