Thor

The movie, Thor, is, of course, Marvel Comics’ version of the mythological character from Norse mythology.  But there are a couple of important points made in the movie.  The character Thor represents several different biblical principles.

Like humanity rejected from the Garden, he doesn’t obey his father (Gen. 3:12), he’s ejected from Paradise & kingship (Gen. 3:22-4), & he faces humiliation & capture by mankind (Matt. 26:57-27:14).

Like Christ, he cries out to his father as if he’s been forsaken, as if he were crying, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” (Matt. 27:46)  He gives his life for his friends (Jn. 15:13), he appears to die (Matt. 27:50), & by the authority of his father & because he pleases his father, he rises again in glory to be restored to his power & authority.  (Matthew 28:7)

And he is fit to rule, having been faithful to his father.

Nuff said.
