The Dark Side of Dune 

The Holy Bible is my favorite book and as a child Dune was my second. I actually met the lead Actor who played in the original. Whats extremely telling is the original actor Kyle Mclaughlin was filming Twin Peaks on my city block. We worked on the set before we realized that show was very Satanic. It was very disappointing. God is Sovereign. 🙌

I took my 6 year old to watch the movie. During the last scene he turned to me and said, “so he’s an evil Jesus” I told him, that’s a great observation, it’s called an anti-Christ.

I haven’t seen it, but from what I have read, the movie itself is aware the protagonist isn’t a good guy. It of course flies over the heads of the viewers

I will admit I have watched both films, the second film 3 times. Both times I became aware of the witchcraft. The second film goes DEEP into it, so much so that I questioned why I was watching it. I felt deeply ashamed at how excited I was for seeing a film and wanting to read a book series about witchcraft. I need to fast and pray for God's correction!

I can't watch Hollywood movies anymore. They have no morality.

Power and corruption. Gluttony shows up..The Hero is the villain. It's pretty clear as day. There's nothing new under the sun no matter what future. Jesus' is King.

I was trying to figure out why I didn't like this movie while everyone else is saying it's the most amazing movie ever. Now I understand. It's my spirit recognizing that its demonic.

Can we also talk about the pyramids and zigarats spread throughout the movie? Specifically the chess board that the Emperor and his daughter are using near the beginning of the film has pyramid chess pieces, and the zigarat that the Emperor uses as his home base on Arrakis. Not a complete pyramid btw but the incomplete pyramid of the Freemasonic order and the structure description that fits the Tower of Babel- a zigarat. Denis' movies are definitely occult and I would recommend a deeper dive on him as a filmmaker.

There's so much hidden in Dune, especially the books. They also claim that memory is in the genes, something that is shown in a lot of movies. I guess they're trying to convince us that there's no soul, just a mind and genetic memory

That is why I am so thankful for your ministry. You guys actually watch the film before reviewing it for us.

2 Corinthians 3:17 NLT For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

I read Dune and a few other books in the series..as a teen. I was enthralled and enchanted. I was going to re-read it about six years ago when God placed a stop on my desire..as I prayed God showed me how new age and demonic this book series is and it is not something a Christin should be reading. Praise God

There’s a scene where they talk about the djinn in the desert and how they can posses you then it never touches on it again…djinn are demons

The story is being told over and over again: a son losing his father by deception and violence, coming back as the 'chosen one', killing the bad guy, becoming the new leader. Just like in the Lion King and the Matrix, Black Panther ... the list is endless. Programming at its worst.

The only spice I need in my life is the kind that goes into Mexican food!! 😄

Dune is wicked as hell.

What's crazy is I thought Paul Atriedes was like an Antichrist figure. The spirit of God allows us to see we just need to pray for his discernment

The ancestral possession in the movie was eerie and I’m so sad that demonology continues to be pushed.

Good morning Chad and Joe.God bless Comes to mind: 1Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant , because your adversary the devil, walketh about seeking whom he may devour. *Christians should pay more attention to the spiritual( darkness)side of things.

I usually love blockbuster movies but couldn't ignore how steeped it was in the occult it felt like an evil film even down to the music chooses. When the anti-christ does come everyone will already be ready to believe the lie including those in churches. Alot of what you guys said I saw in the movie and couldn't pay me enough to watch a sequel.

Has anyone else noticed how mushroom images etc... are everywhere these days? On youth clothing, on drinking cups, all kinds of things. Seems to me between this and other observations, hallucinate drugs ect are being pushed to be normalized in society.

Thank you GFM for sharing this because I’ve never heard anything about Dune from a Christian perspective. My husband’s favorite book and I’ve seen the old movie and thought it was weird but had no idea what it was about. Lord willing I can share some of this with my husband who is not a believer but I pray he comes to Jesus and repents. Hope your allergies get better Chad 😊 God bless you all 🙌

Matthew 10:16 says “Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.” Watching Dune and seeing the direct connection to its story and the rise of Anti-Christ as depicted in the Bible’s book of Revelation and the book of Daniel for me is an affirmation of the truth of the Bible and God’s word and a sign that we are indeed in the end times. Pretty much everything today is Satanic to a greater or lesser degree, however you can tell the unsaved vs. the saved by how they perceive it, as most unsaved do not recognize how blatantly Satan is manipulating our media and entertainment. In order to be ‘as wise as serpents’ we need to see and comprehend how Satan is working, while simultaneously remaining innocent, and this requires the ability to identify and to discern his deceptions and manipulations in modern day life. In Dune, the Satanic metaphors are very overt in that the Benegeserit are witches, Paul’s mother is a witch who trains him in the ‘weirding way’ which is witchcraft and the occult, and ‘the water of life’ which is a Satanic metaphor for demonic possession through drugs, comes only through drinking the piss of a worm, which we know from other fictional narratives like Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, is a pseudonym for the dragon who is Satan. Worm = Dragon = Satan. The ‘Fremen’ are a metaphorical representation of the Arabic Islamic peoples of the Middle East, and ‘Maui Dib’, which is Paul’s given Fremen name, is a phonetical pseudonym of ‘Mahdi’ which the Islamic messiah and the Anti-Christ. The book of Dune covers the rise of Anti-Christ right up to the return of Jesus Christ, who defeats both him and the ‘worm’ aka Satan at the battle of Armageddon.

The rabbit trail of Carl Yung gets deeper and deeper. . . The evil in these movies was even more powerful than the new Hell Boy movie from 2018 (or some time there) - when I saw the demons come up from the Hell Boy movie, I was very scared. When I watched these Dune movies, I cried because of the greater power of the evil one. I was very surprised to see the rating for PG-13, there is too much in this movie to justify a pg-13 rating.

We need to read the Word more. Jesus said things are going to get despicably evil. We shouldn’t be surprised, we should rather be prepared and prepare those who are lacking. If we stay in His Word, the waves and storm around us will rage on, but we will never sink! Stay in the Word! Keep your eyes on Jesus! 📖✝️

never read the book and watched the first movie and was completely lost i still have no clue what the movie is about

I remember watching it as a kid and didn’t understand a thing. It was just some weird sci-fi movie.

The phoenix sigil of the Atreides house is an occultist symbol that points to the great dragon, so from there on I was kind of rolling my eyes. I do think its a story that crosses the Lawrence of Arabia uprisings against the Ottomans in WW1 with the coming of the Islamic messiah. Even if the film does show several worrying points, it did make me reflect more on the return of our Messiah, and how it would be to witness our Lord in the flesh coming to finally bring justice to the world. God does bring good out of evil.

I read the first two Dune novels when I was in college. I soon forgot about them, especially after watching the Lynch movie version, and have no interest in the new films. Now that I know about the connection with Jung, Crowley, drugs and the occult, I will avoid these movies like the plague.

This may sounds strange but I’ve been getting a lot of feeds on my social media about this movie Dune. Mainly interviews with the cast pushing the movie. And for some interesting reason, I get this very eerie, creepy feeling just watching the cast chatting it up. I can’t explained why it makes a feeling that comes over me. Needless to say I will never set eyes on the movie. That’s a hard pass.

The movies never had morality in them.

I saw dune 2. The woman with tattoos on the face was textbook demon possession

I love the Dune series but I'd be lying if I said the esoteric aspects weren't glaring. Paul isn't the anti-christ, not quite. He's the harbinger to the anti-christ, his son Leto II

‘Gesserit’ sounds A LOT like Jesuit.

Hmm, its like the Wizard of Oz. Its been remade many times since the original film, much of it is biblical scripture which has been twisted for satans purposes. But thats the history of like 95% of literature and cinema. There is nothing new under the sun.

Was exposed to the original as a child (parents only Christian in name), and it became one of my favourite films. I tried to watch it after coming to Christ and was absolutely sickened. Yes, he's the Mahdi. The new releases are right on time for the season we are in!

Frank Herbert did admit cribbing the “Gesserit” part of the Bene Gesserit name from his Catholic childhood, particularly with the Jesuit clerical organization

Mushrooms and channeling demonic spirits.

Good catch. I also noticed (especially in Part 1) the Nimrod imagery was constant. Nimrod "the hunter." He is often portrayed in the world as "the bull." And we jeep seeing the bull, and the Matador (bull fighter, bull slayer, great hunter) throughout part one. Nimrod probably the first major Antichrist type. And ofcourse Paul and his father in the movie are his descendants 🤔

Dune is A dangerous movie, but contains a lot of details,

Jesus is the only spice I need in life

Just watched it with an innocent mindset and my discernment kicked on left and right , the reference to demons is astounding and the spiritual significances not only twist several meanings from the word but go beyond to promote an anti-gospel message. Do not watch this movie felt like I grieved the Holy Spirit watching it.

Dune sounds like Doom; I never liked this movie; now I know why.

Almost all Hollywood movies are about final pope or antichrist. Superman, Batman, Spiderman, James Bond etc. all are alternate identities of the man of sin or pope.

Yep I saw this as well. The Mahdi' Thats Islam's messiah the Madi the thriteenth imam

Hello, Lewis Carroll wrote Alice in Wonderland while high on cocaine. So being high while writing great songs and books (not going to say great books because I hated Alice in Wonderland) is not new.

Superb Biblical review of the movies my brothers in Christ. I saw Dune 2 twice and I felt that the black and white visual spectrum on Giedi Prime during the arena fight was a type of hell itself as hell will not have the same look and feel of earth to say the least! The way you explain the world being in an altered state of mind (aka the Spice) is brilliant and true. I felt the Bene Gesserit was a type of real world evil Vatican style control of many nations and leaders of today. Brothers, the way you describe the attributes of Paul and the coming Antichrist are amazing. I do pray for the cast and crew to be born again and I will be sure to share your views of the movie with others. Personally, I watch movies, but not too often and when I do, I surely do watch it through the lense of a born again believer that I AM ! Thanks.

Thanks for the excellent investigative reporting on these books and the movies made based on them. You are right to warn Christians about the content. Not only is pharmakeia warned against in the last days (Rev 18:23, (translated sorcery in verse)), but porneia as well (Rev 17:2 (translated sexual immorality in verse)). And those who practice either of them are listed among those who will have their part in the lake of fire, which is the second death (Rev 21:8). Both drug addiction and porn addiction are a mass sickness in our society today.

A lot of these movies and shows tell the same story, the story of the rise of the Antichrist. The Mummy from 1999 and 2017, they have the key to open the tomb in the bottomless pit, and out off the pit the beast rises. X Men: Apocalypse from 2016 as the character of Apocalypse says in the movie he is also called Ra, the character even claims in the movie that he’s god. The show Messiah from Netflix as the show shows you who the Antichrist will be and where he will come from, the desert. And I could go on and on and on and on with so many movies and shows that tell you the same story of the rise of the Antichrist, just In different ways.

I watched the 1st one and I regret it, one can discern right off the bat it was demonic when they would speak in these telepathic voices that sounds like demons if you watch someone being delivered from demonization and listen to how they’re voice sounds compared to these characters practicing these divination powers it sounds identical. Also the entire movie was so heavy, dark and depressing spiritually I could feel it was taking away from me rather than adding to my life it’s not worth it honestly

The overall trajectory of Dune's lore is demoralizingly nihilistic in its opposition to religion. It has a wholly unsatisfying destination. Which is why its current success is unsustainable with general audiences.

You can live without Christ in your life but you can't die without him, he is the only way to heaven no other name can save you. Having faith in Jesus Christ is the meaning of live. John 14:6 KJV only

Repent and believe the gospel. Everybody needs Jesus. Only Jesus can save lost sinners. Jesus wins and the devil loses be on Jesus's side.

The original movie had one of the leaders kill one of his "slaves" by pulling out his heart plug - just for fun! I turned it off at that point! PURE AND UTTER EVIL!!!!

They kept talking about " the living water" and such things that come from bible but in a blasphemy way.

I pray for everyone’s heart to find fulfillment in Jesus and not in Hollywood.

This is the perennial problem with sci-fi, there is a void in it, and as with the star wars series, occult creeps in or is deified, telekinesis, telepathy, weird super human powers. The central character doesn't look like much, but suddenly when his soul is freed, he becomes very powerful and authoritative in voice and action, almost superhuman in surviving his duel at the end of part 2. There is witchcraft when individuals are controlled. Villeneuve and Hollywood et al will not espouse Christian doctrine, thats obvious.

Get well soon Chad and God bless everyone watching 🙏

In the movie his mother called him the word. Word being uppercased as in a name. Which is Jesus name. No one can feign ignorance later.

I stopped watching any movies, especially from Hollywood, few years ago when I become a believer in YAHWEH and His messiah Yeshua and don't feel that I missing anything.

I found it very interesting how near the end Paul (In Dune 2) gets very arrogant and cocky, it's as though they are trying to say to people this is the right attitude to have to be a leader, when it's the complete opposite.

Thank you Chad and Joe always so informative…and necessary in these days ❤️🙏👍

Even Tolkien hated Dune

This connection btw drugs and super powers arent new. In the movie Lucy, the main character attains Godhood wen she absorbs large quantities of a synthetic drug that resulted in her being able to use 100% of her brain.

Please pray for my son. He is an adult and we had him in church in the early years of his life and he knows the truth. But he is a God hater, he is in rebellion, and he watches these movies. And he's also into the violent and occultic video games as well. God bless you if you pray for him. I thank you with all my heart 🙏

Movies today are getting 'Darker' . Not saying that Hollywood was ever Spiritually, scripturally correct, though I admit I still watch old films like North by NW , 2001 Space Odessey, Barry Lyndon, Best Years of our lives, .... I was vexed by watching first Dune film

I barely watched the first movie and was confused as to what I was watching. Boring too lol. And yeah, very dark theme that wasn't settling with me. I'm a part-time writer looking to bring out my novels that shine light on the Kingdom of God and I tell you, it hasn't been easy without using drugs and dark inspirations to write content. To write without heavy influence isn't an easy task. Makes me wonder about writers like JK Rawlings and Stephen King and what they really did to release their dark content that has also been made into movies over the years. The scriptures say that the heart of man is deceitful and dark indeed.

This is so strange! I watched this video yesterday for the 2nd from a long time before, and as I watched I could clearly see the message behind the story. I thought, this looks like a good representation of how the anti-Christ could be coming into play. I understand that our world is not set the same as in Dune, but the politics behind it could be similar to how it would be played out. I’m keen to see Part 2 to see the outcome, just to discern where this “spirit” is taking this message. What you practice in your everyday will reflect on the outcome of your actions and consequences. You should check out the movie “Damsel” that’s a eye-brow lifter x

My dad took me to see the movie today with my family. It felt so demonic to me. I tried to talk to them about it but they completely shut me down. They’re Christian’s so I’m confused as to why they can’t understand how this is demonic. I just got made fun of

Now i understand why JRR Tolkien hated Dune.

Really appreciate this channel. Hope you feel better Chad

After listening to Pastor John MacArthur talk about how the Antichrist was going to come out of Islam, I just had to go see the movie. But it didn't Encompass the whole idea like I thought. Excellent movie by the way. Fantastic soundtrack!

Yes, it's all evil. Everything. Watch Christian movies.

Thank you my brothers in Christ for exposing the lies of the enemy and speaking the Truth ! May God bless you ! 🤝

I am a new believer of just a few years now after dabbling in new age and other things I should not have….. In going to see this movie, I wasn’t even sure what the story was about. I was absolutely blown away at the religious undertones, …the demonic possession,…the antichrist vibes…the Muslim reference,… mentioning of the Jinn, …and the main character even makes a comment of following the “narrow path” in the movie. Which stood out to me like a neon sign. There was a couple of times that I privately to myself, ended up rebuking in Jesus name. My mind was reeling when I got out of the theater. It was very intense for me. And then I was reminded of the movie Black Adam of the marvel movies. It definitely had the same antichrist undertones. 😧

Jeremiah 10:22-25 22 Say, ‘This is what יהוה declares: "The dead bodies of people will fall like manure on the surface of the field, Like a row of newly cut grain after the reaper, With no one to gather them up.”’” 23 This is what יהוה says: “Let not the wise man boast about his wisdom; Let not the mighty man boast about his mightiness; And let not the rich man boast about his riches.” 24 “But let the one boasting boast about this: That he has insight and knowledge of me, That I am יהוה, the One showing loyal love, justice, and righteousness in the earth, For in these things I take delight,” declares יהוה . 25 “Look! Days are coming,” declares יהוה, “and I will hold an accounting with everyone circumcised and yet uncircumcised,

R u going to make a video on the extra satanic Oscars?

i am46 and at every time in my life i saw something about dune it gave me bad feelings ET also the same way

💙👑 Jesus!

I never read the Dune books or saw the movie until a few weeks ago. When the main character went to the planet and the people were calling him the mahdi, my ears perked up and I really started watching for more antichrist parallels

Just discovered your channel! I've listened to other Christian commentators before, but the way you both discuss the caution of Dune & bring everything back to the Bible, to scripture, it is huge and refreshing! Definitely a fan now!

super demonic dont watch

Amen my brothers in Christ!!🙏😇🥰

I seen the one from the 80’s. I couldn’t understand it, having not read the book. I was bored and fell asleep!

Thank you guys! I knew this and when I try to tell people ANYTHING they get angry at me, call me a know it all and the like and I see all these things and I try to warn peeople but they hate me and try to run me off the road and other things like that.

Wow this was a great break down of the movie! Thank you for making this video it really opened my eyes.

It's true Dune is demonic inspired.

I saw the first one and man is it Dark and demonic, I mean you can feel it when you're watching the movie. I was going to go see the second one but the LORD put on my heart it is not beneficial to my spirit. Praise him

Oh, allergies! Thought you were looking kinda rough! Hope you feel better quickly.

This movie has a spiritual allure to it that draws the viewer in, certainly from occultic influence.

I watched it i had my suspicions it was kind of obvious......i mean the parallels with the Amtichhrist.

I also have a hard time watching any movies i have to admit. I find my podcasts alot more educational and make more sense to me for sure.

One thing that is interesting that the Muslims believe there Mahdi (Messiah) is going to rule for seven years as Mohammed says in his sayings of collections in book 31 verse 3272!

Hello how are you feeling today 💓 I hope you are feeling good 😊. Thank you for the information. PEACE ❤

Wow! Thanks for discussing this!

Thanks so much for sharing this information

😱I had no idea back in the 90’s that was my favorite movie- thank you for shedding light

"don't watch the movie or read the books. Don't think for yourself. Just believe what we say it is"...the irony amuses me.

@GFM- Could you cover The Guardians of the Galaxy films and The Doctor Who series ? 🙏🏽

Amen, thank you for sharing, on point.
