People Stopped Cold in Their Tracks

Rating: Null/10 (31 October 2011)

What could be happening in "The Happening?" People begin to stop cold in their tracks. Next, we see people killing themselves. Some fall off buildings, some shoot themselves, others are seen hanging from trees and lying in roads.
It appears the people are under some mind control; as if, they come to a place where they are frozen in mind and death is the last resort. The winds blow. Some believe the wind is spreading some toxin in which is the death; but, later we see the wind blowing and one family who chooses to love are not affected by the wind of death.
The other people either seem to be ruled by fear, ignorance, or self-preservation to the point of murder. Some seem to have chosen isolation as a means to be separate from mankind, only to know the right thing to do, but their actions are not in love. "I suppose I should invite you to dinner." This woman is doing the right deed, but not with the right heart; her love has waxed cold.
The two teenage boys who began to curse and try to break into a man's house for food, acted not in love, even if getting the food for the little girl would be deemed right. The man who shot the two boys did not act in love. He acted in fear. He feared those outside his house would bring death to his house. He brought death to his house. The end result to his fear, was to kill. His love waxed cold.
Others succumbed to death by death overpowering their mind.
Jesus speaking of the conditions of the end times said, "And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." (Matthew 24:12-13) In "The Happening" we see many stopped cold in their tracks. Their love either waxed cold or they had no love to begin with. The winds of testing blow to test what sort of man man is. Many times, most men are found cold.
Jesus said, "But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."
