The Prophecy: Uprising is a fantasy horror-thriller film and the fourth motion picture (of five) in The Prophecy series. This installment continues with the tale of war between angels. In the first war between the angels, Lucifer was cast out of heaven and became the creator of hell, he had some angels following him. Soon another war between angels started, this time there are two camps - one faction who hate humans (and call them monkeys) and want them to fall from God's grace, and the second group who help humans.
Plot
The movie begins with the story of a woman named Allison (Wührer) who has come into possession of The Lexicon, a mysterious book of prophecies that writes itself. This book contains a 23rd chapter of the Bible, which is still not complete. The last chapter depicts the end of the war of angels. One of the angels who fell with Satan, Belial (now a demon), wants this book.
Allison finds the mysterious book from her father who died reading it. Listening to the voices in her head that guide her thoughts throughout the movie, she takes the book for safe keeping. While searching for Allison and the book, and to avoid detection, Belial murders people and takes their form.
Satan (Light) seeks the help of a cop who had provided information to secret police about his parents. His parents and baby sister were brought to one of the secret police headquarters and tortured. His baby sister gets hurt and is given up for adoption. It is revealed that she is Allison. Satan brings the cop to the house which was the site of the inhumane tortures, making it his domain. Allison, with guidance of the voices in her head, reaches the same place, followed by Belial. It is the only place where Belial cannot hurt Allison. It is a place of evil, which makes it Satan's area, and he offers Allison and her brother protection.
Here, the cop confesses for his sins and seeks forgiveness but is rebuked by his sister. It is here that real motives are revealed. Belial, who was loyal to Satan, now wants to get some advantage from war of angels. He is frustated by the inertness of Satan and now wants an aggressive hell. Satan, who had initially opposed God for his love for humans, helps humans to fight Belial. He does not want another hell. As per him, only one hell is enough for the world. He helps the cop and Allison to kill Belial and then he absorbs Belial's soul.
The movie concludes at dawn, when Satan tells Allison that for the present the war of angels is over, but will not be for long. Showing her glimpses of her future, he advises her to keep the book safe.
