I watched the video “Invasion”- a few theological issues with that portrayal, from the idea of an ‘underground’ to people identified by a mark. I’m not sure about the lyrics- I could only understand about every fifth word. I’ll pass.

I watched the video “Invasion”- a few theological issues with that portrayal, from the idea of an ‘underground’ to people identified by a mark. I’m not sure about the lyrics- I could only understand about every fifth word. I’ll pass.
I found this explanation on Youtube:

In this ARTISTIC perspective:

- Trip is playing the part of a non-christian reporter

- the “company” suppresses believers cuz they have invaded their Godless city

- the MARKS are inflicted by the “company” upon believers so that they can be tracked, identified, & suppressed

- the MARKS have NOTHING to do with the end of times. Nor anything to do with the beast

- this is a GODLY STORY of salvation, in Jesus

non-legally,

TK - the director

Here are the lyrics…..

Also, being around hip-hop culture for the past 20 years, I could understand the words quite clearly…..But I can understand how some people wouldn’t be able to……
