The world is in ruin. Any idea of country or state or people has collapsed. Men huddle in isolated enclaves fearful to reveal their hiding places. What has done this? The machines.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the film <\/span>Terminator<\/span><\/em> (1984) the future of the world is a war between man and machine. Humanoid machines, called \u201cterminators\u201d hunt any remaining people after a world-wide apocalyptic war. The only possible salvation comes when John Connor is sent back in time to protect Sarah Connor whose son \u2013 who is not yet born – will begin a resistance to the machines.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the sequel, <\/span>Terminator 2<\/span><\/i> (1991), Sarah carves the phrase, \u201cNo fate,\u201d onto a picnic table. John Connor informs her, \u201cThe whole thing goes: The future\u2019s not set. There\u2019s no fate but what we make for ourselves,\u201d a rallying cry against the impending and seemingly hopeless future.<\/span><\/p>\n

Isaiah\u2019s prophecy regarding the impending doom to be inflicted upon the world is no less bleak. Yet, Isaiah suggests a way out \u2013 repent. Thus, I paraphrase John Connor\u2019s full quote in this illustration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
