I’m referring to the watchers as portrayed in the Spielberg movie, Noah.
These so called “watchers” are supposedly angels who got cast out of heaven onto earth and got stuck in the mud.
There is no theological value in this extra-biblical presentation, but graphically it represents something interesting.
The spirits that look like “fire”, which is a term the Bible uses to describe angels, are cast to the earth and gets stuck with rocks. Like bubble gum cast into sand.
This looks a lot like what happens when one of us gets saved and also when we start preaching. There is some divine spark but there also is still a lot of earth (flesh) stuck to the spirit.
A divine spark in an imperfect human rendition.
Our favourite preacher and even the man who got us saved is still very far from where God wants him. Even though they have the Spirit, that does not mean they are a very good representation of Christ. Some are better than others, for sure, but none are complete.
We are still dust an ashes before God and even before one another, even though we have some divine spark in us.
Baby Christians are forever confused that the wonderful man of God got divorced, lied, loves money, plays politics or holds ridiculous doctrine, in between his anointed sermons.
Yet if we realize that each regenerated person, (born again) is like the watchers. There is some divine spark of Christ, but there is still huge amount a mud (flesh) also.
So we must more than ever before, eat the meat and spit out the bones. Learn what you can from the man of God, but remember that he is not God.
You have to grow past him and towards and into Christ.
The pastor is like your mother. In the early stages you must submit, but you cannot remain submitted when you grow up and want to marry.
The only way to remain “under cover” is if you don’t grow.
