ok some one may have mentioned this, but in revelations there are 7 churches that john writes to, those churches are represented by the halos, also the lamp stands are represented by the indexes and the 7 angels ( or messengers) are the monitors like 343 guiltyspark. does this make any sense or is this just me stringing random stuff together?

"Where ere thou hast been, here or in yon world manifest? Canst thou tell what is, or what was, or what is to come? No thing shall last. Yet there are some things that will never change. History is written in blood, yet are battles really lost on the battlefield? Canst thou tell me where thou comest, and where thou goest, and what is, or what was, or what will be? For everything remains, AS IT NEVER WAS."

You're stringing random stuff together.

The seven churches share absolutely nothing in common with the seven Halo rings (of which there were originally 12, and only 7 that we know of thus far.)

The index is nothing like the "lampstands," as the indexes are not "witnesses" that prophecy for three and a half years and destroy anyone who would harm them.

And the Monitors of the Halo arrays (again, there could be far more than 7,) are not messengers but custodians.

I've noticed how a lot of things are linked to Christian stories and Jesus Christ.

The Matrix comes to mind....

The way I feel is inevitable.

Oleg, you do know that Jesus is not the only mythological figure to sacrifice himself? In fact Neo shares less with Jesus in that Jesus was not a warrior, and Neo was not a teacher. As the Matrix seems to take much from Oriental influences and culture, I would put my money on it being a parallel to an Oriental myth or legend.
