| I’ve heard the music, “Freedom Fighters,” by Two Steps From Hell before with other videos. But this particular video outdoes them all. You may recognize the music from a later Star Trek movie with Chris Pine. However, this video put out by “Seven7Lives” is so rich in symbolism. The white blindfold put on the woman to be shot turns blood red. It then becomes a symbol of freedom. There is much symbolism of historical oppression, such as that which occurred during the Nazi era and some allusions to oppression taking place today by terrorists. Notice the bombed out remains of a building in the background resembles the steel skeleton of the Twin Towers from 9-11-2001. The prisoner on his knees has his head covered with a hood followed by the guard making a slashing motion with his baton as if to behead him. The red blindfold may also allude to the red or scarlet thread that Rahab hung in her window during the conquering of Jericho when Freedom Fighters came to liberate the land of Canaan during the time of Joshua. See Joshua 2:1-21. Her faith in the God of Israel and His mercy allowed her and her family to be saved. Their lives literally hung by a thread. “Hold fast to that which you have” even if it is only by a small thread (Revelation 3:11). This video may also be prophetic of a future time of oppression. Was there not much oppression and trampling on our Constitutional rights just a few years ago? In the name of the public good, our rights were trampled on and anyone who questioned the abuse of power was considered a “rebel” or enemy of the state. “What has been will be again, and what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun” Solomon (Ecclesiastes 1:9). The only government that can assure us of true freedom is the government of God under Jesus Christ. I have personally experienced the oppression of man’s government because those in power are not immune to their own human frailties. And it is too often in man’s nature to use any form of power to enslave others as history has repeatedly shown. This video will give you chills or goosebumps as the music and images portrayed are a perfect match. Video link: Freedom Fighters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfFuckTgnc4 |
