A spiritually insightful, albeit low-budget Christian movie, that has several actors from the film Pilgrim’s Progress (2008), this second movie being one that I’ve watched about twenty times. In The Gathering, the plot revolves around different professionals, some of them born again and some of them atheists. Some of the born again believers see visions of the last days, and it’s suggested that atheists with anti-Christian attitudes that are into religious discrimination against born again Christians in the workplace, are a prophetic foreshadowing of the Great Tribulation; and of the future persecutions that born again believers will one day face under the rule of the Antichrist. It reinforces the idea to me that 1099 projects are much more agreeable to the lifestyle of a born again Christian than is full-time W-2 employment. –J.B.
