Not long after the world no longer sees me, but you see me; because I live, you will live too.
——"John

14:19 " The wise we finally destroyed our world, but he did not choose to forsake it.
The swelling civilization will collapse, the excessive noise will turn into silence, and the people struggling in the radiation dust are almost desperate, but death has not been overcome in the whole land, because of his soothing hands, there are still life alive in the barren wilderness. As a pastime when we are full, our humble race is keen to speculate on the terrible scenes on the earth in the last days. Or the flooding of water, the fire of heaven, or the great famine, plague, and world-destroying war. This time we blindfolded and pretended to be afraid, but spied through our fingers and saw the Chinese and American nuclear bombs burning the land to scorched earth. I'm afraid I will only remember some special effects production of swords and shadows, and the faces of a few film and television stars. What if the whole earth is destroyed? Isn't the life long in front of eternal existence just a moment? What is the big difference between the death of a baby and the end of a white beard? Only the people on the earth closed their hearts and did not allow his justice to guide us. At that time, we gave up all hope and fell into the abyss willingly. At that time, even if the land had the appearance of fleshly fullness, it was The greatest tragedy.

Eli walked alone on the ground. There may be carnivore birds in the sky, and the corpses of old civilizations lie on the roadside. He can't see, but only sees the light of truth as his guide.
Here is the sky of "Doomsday", and under the clouds is the broken bridge in "Fallout 3". The unkind waste bandits are holding steel pipes of building materials to look at the passing passengers. Once prosperous and ruined, there is a life-and-death competition, so Watching this movie is just a post-apocalyptic science fiction study that has just passed-all I can think of is the model of the spiritual world in this movie: the last righteous person walks on the earth, carrying an ancient belief He is not alone, because he is accompanied by his god. And the image of the last person overlaps with those of the ancient ancestors—you throw away those complicated clothing and call the land to return to barbarism. The big family that has walked on the ground for thousands of years looks like a person, never Variety.
Belief does not care about the complexity. It's just a simple and complete trust in that God.

A semi-blind man travels through a lonely wilderness; a warrior finally wins after a hundred battles; a dead man stands up from the corpse and walks firmly to where he should go. Those who do not believe say this is a miracle, and those who believe know that these are predestined.
So the evil spirits are finally defeated, justice triumphs completely, the gospel is still passed on, and he is still there: waiting to knock on the door and ask questions. Mighty accomplished great things with humble hands. This unoccurring event was recorded and told to some people who were willing.

The Book of Eli quotes

  • Eli: They say the war tore a hole in the sky, you've probably heard the stories.

    Solara: Yeah.

    Eli: The war tore a hole in the sky, the sun came down, burnt everything, everyone, I wandered, I didn't really know what I should do or where I was going. I was just moving from place to place, trying to stay alive. And then one day I heard this voice. I don't know how to explain it, it's like it was coming from inside me. But I could hear it clear as day. Clear as I can hear you talking to me now. It told me to carry the book west, it told me that a path would be laid out before me, that I'd be led to a place where the book would be safe. It told me I'd be protected, against anyone or anything that tried to stand in my way. If only I would have faith. That was thirty years ago and I've been walking ever since.

    Solara: And you did all this because a voice told you to?

    Eli: I know what I hear, I know what I heard, I know I'm not crazy, I didn't imagine it

  • Hoyt: [seeing two dead hijackers] It's like he's protected somehow. Like there's nothing that can touch him

    Carnegie: Oh, he's just a fucking man. You put a bullet in him, he'll go down like any other.
