So far at the time of this blog post there has been 4 episodes aired. Season 1, Episode 1-4. So far i have enjoyed this new TV show. Yes there are some things that young children can’t handle and yes this is not a Biblical TV show, but it does have Bible verses quoted in it and other things too. So far, I have enjoyed watching this new TV show. What happened to these folks is nothing Biblical I will say that!
They do believe a higher power caused the plane to do what it did and give powers to some of the passengers aboard Flight 828.

I may go back on Hulu and rewatch the episodes and share some that I spot.
Update 1/30/19: I got this comment and thought I would add it to the blog post. Very interesting about a few verses before the pilot Bible Verse of Romans 8:28.
Yes, I searched this morning for Romans 8:28 but noticed that Romans 8:19 actually says: “For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.”..which leads to the name of the show, “
Mary via comment on this blog postManafest ”. ALL of Romans 8 is very helpful to everyone today. I think this show is helpful..if people “see” it. I think many people have regrets about things they feel they did wrong..but if you COULD change something…what else would it change, that you WOULDN’T wantchanged ? Like having your children, wife, and etc……And it helps to know that you are where you are, because of things you needed to learn..and God held your hand all the way and helped you through it all! Maybe people wouldn’t be so sad and unhappy with their lives…if they just realized that. Yes, I am saved and have been baptized and I thank God for both!
Update 2/7/19: I noticed no Bible verses were used for a while, but some Christian symbols have been used, like the Peacock

Oh wow! Thanks for sharing. Revealing or Manifestation. If we were able to make the change and not do it, who’s to say we won’t do it later on in life instead. Awesome and thank you for the comment. I have been enjoying watching the show. The latest episode talked about the peacock and mythology, Juno was an ancient Roman goddess. I noticed that part. I haven’t seen as much Bible references, as the first started. Have a great day and make sure you subscribe so you won’t miss any more blog post.
I’ve been watching on Netflix and now have almost completely watch all three episodes. It is cleverly done ..though far fetched at times …and has plenty of believable human interactions ….BUT … As a Christian, I can say unequivocally that the subtle message in this series is completely antithetical to what the Bible teaches in the New Testament. First, this Netflix creation: Presents God as this “heartless trickster” who tortures people (sometimes physically) with vague references/visions/voices to “warn/save” some person or group of impending doom. The doomsday scenarios do NOT implore anyone who are getting the so-called “callings” …to ever contemplate calling on God himself …nor through the redemptive works of Jesus Christ. It validities/teaches every other “salvation” method created by mankind from the beginning of time …that being we reach salvation/redemption by our own works/deeds! Christianity is completely the opposite of this. It teaches us that there is ONLY ONE road/passage for our Salvation …a belief and acceptance of God’s gift to mankind thru the “sacrifice” of his only begotten son, Jesus Christ! The Bible teaches the ONLY”calling” is a call to believe on Christ individually for own personal salvation/redemption! I could go on and give multiple examples but the bottom line is that it teaches a “false doctrine” and uses the very same tactics that Satan used in the Garden of Gethsemane to tempt Christ himself! The trick/deception is to use Biblical scripture itself …out of context …to promote a lie and deceive. Having said all this …I have to admit the series has been addictive to watch. But as a Christian, we need to be wary of false doctrines and test anything like this thru God’s word and the guidance of his Holy Spirit. If you can do that and see it as pure fiction and a sort of Sci-Fi movie …which is what I was expecting early on …then I guess it’s dafe to watch. It also mixes in some positive values about loyalty and family …BUT …again remember the sinister tactics that Satan uses to pervert and deceive.
Yes, this is in no way the end of times Biblically it also references other religions too such as Hinduism and others. It is addicting to watch. Thank you for this comment too.
I have noticed it seems to also cover other my mythology especially Egyptian mythology and still some faith-based elements but I still don’t think the callings are Biblical despite they try to or might make it look like it. But they are putting faith things out there.
