It’s a shameful movie, with elements that may be prophetic and at least are sobering.

It’s called Leave the World Behind, and it currently tops the chart at Netflix.

The movie is set on Long Island (the Hamptons/Sag Harbor corridor), and features a couple from Park Slope in Brooklyn renting a ritzy home near the beach for a weekend, two kids in tow.

That weekend, an apocalypse hits. The first indication is patchy internet service and then a massive oil tanker that runs aground right where they are sunbathing, almost killing them.

The tanker had lost its navigation system.

The home they rent is owned by a wealthy black investor who — with his own daughter — ends up returning to the home and asking if they could stay the night because they had become stranded: roadways are clogged from some sort of disruption.

The internet is down. There is no phone service. It turns out that satellites have been disabled. Planes crash on Long Island upon erratic approaches to JFK. Soon, there are incredible screeching sounds and percussions from bombs striking Manhattan.

America is under cyberattack (it turns out to be either Korea or China or both, with perhaps some input from Muslim factions), and the screech is from a microwave weapon. There is no television, just a lifeless screen saying that there is a national emergency and all programming has been suspended. Without internet, everyone is lost. There are no communication systems. There is no GPS. Animals are even disoriented by the energy unleashed.

The reason the movie bears any relevancy (it’s the first fictional one we’ve watched in a long while) is that the executive producers are Barack and Michelle Obama.

It turns out that they have a movie production company called Higher Ground.

Do they know something we don’t? Do they have an indication of something that may be coming? Why did they feel compelled (in addition to the profit motive) for putting money behind this production (which stars Julia Roberts and has other luminaries like Kevin Bacon, who plays a prepper)?

The former president, one learns, watched the movie as it moved along in production, sometimes toning down its apocalyptic nature — but not by much.

That took the director aback: it seems the script, based on a novel, was closer to what may occur than he’d thought.

It comes at a time when we learn that Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, is building a $100-million bunker in Hawaii.

Why?

In the movie, one of the characters, the wealthy investment manager, speaks of a mega-client — obviously, a billionaire — who had suddenly fled the country. He and the client often joked about an “evil global cabal” that the billionaire was in touch with.

That too may have elements of the truth, although the character then explains that it was said in simple jest, that the idea of a small evil cabal controlling the world was a “lazy explanation” for major events, and that the truth was that the mega-rich and other powers-that-be don’t know as much about what is coming as we think but do have little “heads-ups”: indications.

For a former president to present a movie indicating this is somewhat stunning.

What it is saying is that even the president of the United States isn’t sure what could be on the horizon, though a cyberattack and accompanying electronic warfare and bombing are most likely.

Think about what would happen if all our computer systems went down.

Unfortunately, President Obama should be ashamed of himself for putting his name on a movie that uses the language this one does. The “f-word” is said in just about every verbal exchange, including from the young girl who is with her Brooklyn parents. Why didn’t he tone that down?

It is a measure of our decadence, hatefulness, disregard for God, and lack of vocabulary that this profanity has reached such prevalence. Even major current political candidates use it publicly, along with other crude language.

A sign of the times. It’s a weird movie with lewd scenes. There is also a bit of reverse racism.

But again: the key takeaway: a former president of the United States and First Lady put their names on a flick that spells out a future calamity. Obama obviously thinks it’s very possible, perhaps even likely, that America at some point will incur an electronic assault. Naming his company “Higher Ground” tells us what we need to know.

It never hurts to ask the Holy Spirit how we should view the future and how we should prepare — if prepare, for such an eventuality, we should do, at this time.
