Covenant

The secular media is averse to talking about it, but the Lord of the Rings was based on the Bible. The original manuscript was filled with quotes from the King James Version. Right before publication Tolkien got cold feet and removed most of them, though some are still there. It's pretty interesting if you want to research it. Gandalf was supposed to be an angel and so on.

In the series was a group of nine evil beings know as ringwraiths. They were also called the Black Riders or the Nine, etc., and served the Dark Lord, Sauron. The Nine were kings who started out as normal men but were corrupted by the Dark Lord and eventually became twisted into something even more evil by supernatural forces. The Nine possessed great power, more power than they had the wisdom to wield.

The Bible speaks of various covenants. When God establishes a covenant, it's final. People can break a covenant, but unless God releases it, the covenant stands. The first Messianic prophecy in the Bible is in Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. Later on it's revealed that salvation only applies to humans.

An interesting verse is Isaiah 26:14 They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish. The words for dead and deceased are different in Hebrew. Deceased is rephaim. They are rephaim, they shall not rise. Rephaim are synonymous with nephilim. Before the flood, fallen angels produced the nephilim in an attempt to bring into covenant(Genesis 3:15) that which cannot be brought into covenant. It's thought that Isaiah 26:14 is a reference to that. God did not honor it. They will not be resurrected.

If a covenant of God has a blessing in it, the blessing comes to pass no matter what. However, if people try to decide by human will what's a covenant and what isn't, the decision is irrelevant in God's eyes. They can attempt to force something into covenant that isn't. It produces nothing. God will not bless what is not in covenant. Even if powerful beings like the Nine make a decision that something outside of covenant is in covenant, their decision has no authority and no power with God. It will not be honored. It will not be blessed.
