After watching Avatar I could not shake sense there was an important message contained in this movie. Even before I went to the cinema, I could see slight internal visions of the movie I was about to see. This is an indication of the excitement the Holy Spirit has for this movie, I believe.
The majority of the humans living in Pandora did not have a clue of the true treature which was available to them in the new world. Jake was able to experience a new way to live, something all human beings are truly seeking for but most do not know how to find it. The limitations which came from his disability helped him to develop a desire and exitement for living in the new world.
The leading scientist Grace was fascinated by the new world, as well. She was hungry and thirsty to discover its deepest secrets and help others with her research results. This is a picture of the scribes from Jesus' lifetime. They were attentive students of history and had a passion to bring out of the treasure of their discoveries both new and old things, in order to bless other people with the depth of a long-term perspective of history and the workings of God.
The attitude of the people and the organization who just wanted to plunder a valuable mineral from the planet represents the attitude of many Christians in our generation. Many of us just want to take and receive things from God which help us to live a luxurious live here on Earth without a true perspective of long-term or eternal living. The majority of us does not understand yet that we first need to get used to live in the new realm, the kingdom of heaven we have been born in, before we can bring back true change to the Earth. It does not make sense if we try to rob God, he wants to give us anything freely anyway. Everything that belongs to him belongs to us, because we are part of his family. Rather than giving us all of the treasures of heaven God is more concerned for us to learn his way of living. His ways enable us to truly enjoy live on the earth, in the kingdom and on other planets in this universe or beyond.
The home tree in the movie is a picture of the tree of life in the garden of Eden. The mountains or rocks which were floating supernaturally in the sky symbolize Jesus who is our rock. This rock followed the Israelites in the desert, supernaturally.
One of the most interesting things is how the movie helps people to understand why it can be a good idea to execute judgement on mankind in response to their actions. Most people would be supporting the inhabitants of Pandora when they fight against the humans.
