Not surprisingly, the ship capsized and all the crew perished. Perhaps if they had faced only one hurricane, they could have survived, but the power of two deadly hurricanes was simply too much for the crew to handle. The movie stressed the unusual combination of factors that led to this tragedy. The fishing crew had plenty of experience and the ship had weathered many storms in the past. They felt their well-equipped craft could ride out just about anything nature threw their way. But, when they faced the combined fury of two hurricanes, all their efforts proved futile. This is an apt analogy for what the Bible has prophesied will one day occur when a combination of forces is unleashed on the entire world. Just as the seasoned fishing crew assumed it could handle whatever came its way, many people assume that society can handle any crisis the future brings, through scientific achievement, economic growth, military prowess and political cunning. The Perfect Storm, a recent movie, provides an apt analogy of prophesied events. Many political and religious leaders want their followers to believe they are amply equipped to solve any grave danger ahead. They reason: "We have been through two World Wars, disease epidemics, a great economic depression, numerous social upheavals, and have survived them all. Now that we have even more technological tools at our disposal, we can prevail over any crisis that comes our way."
