 Bartleby reasons that entering the church in New Jersey will automatically forgive all of their sins, as total remission of sins had been granted to whomever visited that specific church on a specific date, thus allowing them to return to Heaven.Though they do not know it, if the two were to return to heaven this way, they would overturn God's decision, thus "proving God wrong" and unmaking all of existence.The Metatron (Alan Rickman) tells Bethany that she is to follow two people who refer to themselves as "prophets".
