Bentfishy, dont be a tool. The guy evidently put a lot of hard work and time into this topic so if your going to comment, at least give him credit. If not, dont comment at all.

tnks boot, and im sorry bout what I said bout canadian armed forces since I really dont know much about their current training levels and equipment, maybe u could inform me cause alots changed since wwII, we no longer use thompsons and japan though it once had an empire now no longer has an offensive military so a countries military can change alot in 50+ years.

Edit: oh and bent, it only took me three hours to put it all together and I couldve done the genesis forerunner tie in but I was tired

I don't know, I'd like to think that Halo was it's own world and not related to the bible. Theres stuff like halo being with greek mythology, but the Bible seems like a touchy subject for a videogame. Also, the verses from revalation could be applied to any story with a hero in it. The only real wierd thing I see is Bungie's affiliation with the number seven as well as the Bible's.

well no offense but couldnt you put your time to better use say like making advertisements for halo 2 or how bout some halo 2 fan art. something other than that. it just seems so pointless. what do you get outta this? nothing other than congratulations. with fan art at least all of us benefit cause we get cool halo memorabilia

Dude, I really wouldn't comment about putting your time to better things seeing as you are sitting on your computer typing on a forum.

Secondly, as I stated earlier, no one asked you to comment on this topic. You could do us all a favor and not talk at all. You don't like what he wrote, don't look at it, don't comment, hell, don't even click the link which brings you to the topic.

well did YOU know about the connection before reading this, would YOU be interested if you could find out about what could happen in Halo 2 without an industry insider blabbing? well now that youve read this your life is enriched so dont complain. Fan Art only pleases the eye for a few mere seconds while this post could entertain your brain for much longer.

But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zechariah,
because your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will
bear you a son, and you shall name him John. And you will
have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth,
for he will be great in the sight of (the) Lord. He will drink
neither wine nor strong drink. He will be filled with the holy
Spirit even from his mother's womb, and he will turn many of
the children of Israel to the Lord their God. He will go before
him in the spirit and power of Elijah to turn the hearts of fathers
toward children and the disobedient to the understanding of the
righteous, to prepare a people fit for the Lord."

That's from Luke 1:14-17 I think.
I'm no bible expert, so maybe you guys could infer something
from that.

Oh c'mon guys, its just a name. And again, the Bible is too touchy for a videogame. Halo 2 may have some links to the bible, but don't expect to know the story by looking at any verse that has the number 7 in it, or any verse with the name John in it.

A lot of your connections were streches, but there were so many connections that I couldn't help think that perhaps there does have to be a bible-Halo connection. Your logic flows eerily all together.
But I guess if your predictions are right, then we will find the truth.

But know that your efforts were greatly appreciated by some parties (like myself).

You could do a ton of things, research, train, walk the dog. What are you talking about there are a ton of activities to do.

You must not know Bungie very well.
http://marathon.bungie.org/story
http://halo.bungie.org/story
While I doubt every single bible reference connects to Halo
or Marathon, it is necessary to search all possiblities
because you never know when that lightbulb will come on.
As for Marathon, that's years of research, and people are still
working on it.
I read all the terminals before I ever played the games, and I
loved it. It's like a science fiction book but better.

The Bible isn't a touchy thing for a video game at all.... and someone earlier in this thread put that the seven angels being the seven species of covenant was contradictory, well it wouldn't be if what those verses is saying, b/c what he thinks they are saying is that the covenant will help us overcome the flood, they wouldn't be a threat if we were allies would they. And no he doesn't have way too much time on his hands, he just researched it and found some truth to the storyline, and why do you think that the name Covenant and Prophet are in their, b/c of the Bible. and John the Baptist wrote Revelations, when armageddon comes, John the Baptist is going to be the one who does away with all of the crap, JOHN, and don't you think it is funny that the verse John 1:17 says something along the lines of " I am the First, and The Last"? considering that MC/John is the first Spartan you hear of, and after Halo you think he is the last one, so i don't think that this is dumb at all, in fact i think this is very intrigueing. Also something i have been thinking about, you know the whole Noah's Ark story, well A Rainbow is God's Promise that he will never "Flood" the Earth again, so someone has to stop it right.

nice quotes guys, it really helps in solidifying this connection, as for bent, if you are neither contributing or providing counterevidence but simply stating my "waste of time" why dont you stop wasting your own time and not post your criticism

read my post, where in my entire thread have I ever said mc was jesus? by the way, the bible was meant to be INTERPRETED not read for face value, we know the universe wasnt made in seven earth days but the whole process of genesis is in the correct order as proven by science, written before scientific method was even an idea.

I think John the babtist is a much more conclusive connection than John 1:17

JN 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ
