I did see the first three movies of the series, my favorite being that of the two towers which peaked my interest bigtime after the attack of the WTC towers on 9/11/01.

Could Tolkien had recieved spiritual visions from God in prophecy as well being incflunced by the Bible in regards to the present times we are living in which influnced his writing style?

I think really prophetic writing is not just right "once," it's right over and over. I think a gifted artist (even an unebliever) can write true things without quite knowing it. I've seen that several times with authors who were trying to make one "point," but ended up making a different, truer one.

Tolkien,I think, is one of the Permanent Good Ones.
