![]() I found this passage when searching for keywords "Truth and Reconciliation" Only 2 passages "Hit" for the words. Mr Yun breaks out the Bible and strikes again It should be noted that John wrote of the se7en signs that point to Jesus as the son of God. It was bound to happen sooner or later, I supposed. ![]() †††Of course.this does put a damper on my Master Chief=Elvis theory.oh well. Steder's connections, and send in any other religious connections you've caught (be they in the game, the book, the poem, the Cortana letters, the transmissions, or any other medium in which the story of Halo has appeared). †††It will be very interesting to see what other ties Halo has to various religious texts. Often, when authors REALLY want to thump something into you, they'll use character's name's as a way of doing it-not only is "John" in itself biblical, these references to certain verses in the Bible draw an even closer correlation. Halo abounds with religious connections (particularly to the Bible), and while this is certainly not the first to be noticed, it's a rather large one. Postscript: I'm by no means a scholar of religion so hopefully you will understand if I seem clueless. I know I'm reaching, but I still thought the 17 and 18 verse powerful and seemed to appeal to the spirit of the character. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches. > 20: The myster of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. > 19: Write the things which thou hast seen and things which are, and things which shall be hereafter (well maybe not 19, :-)) > 18: I am he that liveth, and was dead and behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen and have the keys of hell and of death. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not I am the first and the last: John the Divine": Chapter 1: Verse 17: (revelation 1:17) -> "And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. It sounded suspiciously like John 1:17, so I dug around in the Bible. I was reading through the halo story page, not being lucky enough to be playing the game on an xbox, and I found it semi-interesting that " 'Master Chief' had his name changed to John-117". I'm only submitting this for review by larger brains. We're not nearly crushed enough under the horrible horrible weight of all of your collective ponderings. What John does possess above all is leadership and, to both Cortana's repeated salvation and bewilderment, probability-defying luck.Ĭheck it out: our first submission. ![]() He is an unconventional Hero, for though he is strong, fast, and tactically brilliant, he is the epitome of none of those attributes, and is surpassed by other Spartans in each area. "It wasn't job to make things suffer - he was just here to win battles. He does not hate his enemy he kills them because he knows it is his duty to kill them to win. He displays an odd sort of attitude for a creation of the military: he does not glorify his violent actions, but merely does what he has to do. He has lived most of his life in various military camps on Reach stolen from his family at age six and his name changed to "John-117", his entire upbringing has been centered around making him a mechanism of military efficiency, utilizing both force and tactics. All of humanity depended on him, for even after their defeat at Halo 04 the Covenant were still strong, and there were new enemies and variables to contend with that Earth knew nothing about: the Flood, the Forerunner, and their creations, such as 343 Guilty Spark.Īfter his whirlwind tour of Delta Halo, his introduction to a host of new "friends", and a hitch-hike back to Earth aboard a Forerunner vessel it remains only to be seen how he plans on "finishing this fight". For all he knew, he was the last Spartan alive. The Master Chief was the sole Spartan to leave the Reach system aboard the Pillar of Autumn (with the exception of Linda-058 in cryo).
