Jesus in Ferngully

 After watching this recently, I realized Krista is meant to be a kind of Christ figure. She saves her people and the world of Ferngully from the forces of evil. Magi is like God the Father. It follows the teaching where some think God the Father turned into Jesus since Magi dies at the end. She seems to dissolve into pieces and a piece of her goes into each fairy. That is like the Holy Spirit. But it's not an automatic thing of course. You have to ask the Holy Spirit to come be a part of your soul. 

Transmutation is actually what many Pentecostals teach, that the Father became the son and then the Holy Spirit. But the truth is that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit existed since before the world was formed, and the three of them do now. I know because I often talk to each of them in my head. That probably seems odd but oh well. If you believe that could be possible, try it sometime. You can ask any of the three of the trinity any question you want. "All things are possible to those who believe." If you believe you can talk to every member of the trinity, you can. 

In the movie Hexus is of course Satan. He is hell bent on destroying the forest, just like Satan is hell bent on destroying your life. He comes to steal, kill and destroy. It was a great representation of him and how evil he is. Zach probably represents the first Christian. He is converted into loving the world of Ferngully, like God teaches us to love and save this world. 

I suppose the gas and fuel that made Hexus/Satan bigger would be his demons. I have heard that demons are energized by our extreme emotions of anger, lust and fear. The more they can make us feel those feelings, the more powerful they get. That is just a theory though. 

The main reason I realized Krista was a Christ figure was at the end when everyone thinks she died. Then it's like she comes back to life when the flower opens and she comes out. It is like she has more powers after being reborn. I think some feel that Jesus became more like God after he died and rose again. The Bible says that he was glorified after rising again. Does that mean he became more like God? Yes possibly. In Revelation he is pictured as being much more God like than he was on the earth. 

The take away is, be a fairy like the fairies in Ferngully. Save the world! Save our beautiful forest. Most of the world isn't beautiful, but we can make it beautiful. You can do it. :) We can do it.
