Grace means that God's grace suddenly came to the town, representing Christ's coming to the world to educate the world. Christ's hard work and service every day brought a brief awakening to mankind. Human beings finally cannot resist their inner desires and sin, such as lust, greed, etc. Christ always adopts forgiveness, and finally puts on the chain to represent the crucifixion to atone for man's sins. tom betrayed grace is a metaphor for the Jews who betrayed Jesus. However, in the midst of Christ's endless insults, Judgment Day finally came, and grace's father pointed to God. God came to receive Christ, but Christ was unwilling to abandon the world, and after discussing with God what arrogance is (God represents the Old Testament, Christ represents the New Testament) grace abandoned Christ's consistent practice of forgiveness and made judgments, as The flood in the Bible covered everyone and here is the sea of fire. The dog named Moses was the only survivor. Grace got out of the car and called Moses, the same as God in the Bible called Moses (the saint who led the Israelites out of Egypt) in the fire of the bushes.
The director's meaning is to be alert to the weaknesses and evils existing in human nature without knowing and repenting. Relying on human conscience and the democratic system cannot be the solution to the problem. We must rely on God, otherwise there will eventually be the end of the judgment (small and medium in the film). The town church has never had a real pastor, only a fake pastor who rings the bell and plays music, which represents the decline of Christianity), which is a flogging and torture of the American political system and the morality of the people.
