but Not Pre-Wise!”

By: Lou K. Coleman-Yeboah Lou K. Coleman-Yeboah

Listen, when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, let him that readeth understand, then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains: And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house… And let him that is in the field not turn back. But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! For in the days to come shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be… And if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, He is there; believe him not: For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce. Behold, I have foretold you all things. Take ye heed, watch and pray. What I say unto you I say unto all. [Mark 13].

Wake up! Discern the times. The hour is late! I don’t say that to scare you, but to prepare you. Many of the things that Jesus Himself describe as initial indicators of the last days are happening now. In [Matthew 12], Jesus told us that in the last days there will be people falsely coming in His name, wars and threats of wars, food shortage, earthquakes, and intensified persecution of God’s people, and a mass falling away. And all that Bible Prophecy said would happen, is happening right before our eyes, [Revelation 3:10] and all who are not firmly established upon God's Word and the righteousness of Jesus Christ will be deceived and overcome.

Understand, Satan "works with all power and signs and lying wonders with all deceivableness of unrighteousness" [2

Thessalonians 2:9-10] to gain control of mankind, and his deceptions will increase right up to the very end.

Please surrender your life to Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

For we are truly living in the end times now, and as the Bible reveals in [Revelation 12], Satan has come down to this earth with "great fury" knowing that his time is short, and he is using all his power to deceive us and keep us from Jesus Christ.

I tell you; the enemy is approaching! Do not be complacent. We can all see that something is awry in our world. All of the alarm bells are sounding. Even people around the world who don’t understand biblical prophecy can sense something has gone wrong. I admonish you to repent and turn to Jesus Christ before it is too late! Because the final crisis is coming! A man of Lawlessness, the Anti-Christ, the Beast.

"Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision."(Joel 3:14) Are you saved?

In the address to Spelman graduates, he continued: “The sound of the genuine is flowing through you. Don’t be deceived and thrown off by all the noises that are a part even of your dreams, your ambitions, so that

Film Review...continued

URLs, memes and live-streaming ensue. It’s enough to make fans of the thriller genre hold their collective breath. Enough to enthrall adolescents as they see bits of their cryptic tech world reflected on screen.

The inventive script gets more and more fascinating as 1h 51m of this rollercoaster ride jets by. It’s hard to figure out where the storyline will go next. Who is duping who? Who can be trusted? Poor June is project managing her mom’s rescue, and she’ just a kid. Tweens, teens, adolescents, young women and just about anyone who starts watching this nightmare will be glued to the screen until it ends.

Reid bears the weight of the story well. The fear in her eyes, frustration on her face and intelligent curiosity on display is all her. Nia Long as the quintessential mom, Megan Suri as June’s best friend and veteran actor Joaquim de Almeida (TV’s 24) as June’s eyes on the ground in Colombia are all captivating in their own way. When the script explores de Almeida’s character’s fractured father/son relationship, the film becomes particularly touching. June: “You may have given up on your son, but I’m not giving up on my mom!”

Kudos to the editors, Arielle Zakowski and Austin Keeling, for keeping the plot pieces tightly pulled together. There are very few sets, but those on view look appropriately homey or foreign (production design Kelly Fallon, Lauren Paonessa; set decorator Jennifer Herrig). The musical score pumps up the volume right on cue (Julian Scherle). And one of the reasons that this film pops off in the most normal, everyday ways is because the characters are dressed like the people next door (costume designers, Lindsay Monahan and Sona Rita Guekguezian).

Rarely has this generation of social media fanatics and tech heads been given their own film. This is their gift. A homage to their way of life. For all the moms and dads shaming their kids for spending too much time alone in their rooms on their devices, this is a warning. Texting and social media savvy may save your life one day. So shut the door and stay out of their business!

Almost singlehandedly, this innovatively crafted film is giving the mystery genre a fresh start!
