(WARNING. KINDA LONG. SORRY)
My Theory
John and links to the bible
Why did they decide that the Master Chief's name would be John? Was it, that they first looked at the passage in the bible, revelations 1 which talks about how one of Jesus' apostle, John heard the revelation of Jesus Christ from an angel. Verse 17 in that passage is "When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last.". As in John is the first Spartan II
they found, and will probably end up being the last to survive?
Number 7. Noah's ark
Or maybe, it's because the ark to protect gods good creatures from the flood was Noah's ark. In the name "NOAH" it has the same letters as there would be in the name "JOHN" except for the fact that the letters are in a different order, and Noah has "A" and John has "J". On a standard "qwerty" keyboard, "J" is 7 away from "A". (A-S-D-F-G-H-J. Count letters) which seems to be Bungie's number (also in the same passage as above, 7 is mentioned a lot).
Or a combination of both, or I could just be completely stupid and waaaaay too obsessed about Halo. Well either way I don't care. I have a theory, about the entire Halo story. I KNOW that HEAAAAAPS of people have talked about links between Halo and the bible yadayadayada, but I'm just gonna piece some of that together.
Ark of the Covenant. 10 Commandments. End of the UNIVERSE
I'm not really religious, but doesn't the ark of the covenant have something to do with the 10 comandments? Well I assumed that it did. I have a theory that God has seen over centuries, the 10 comandments which he created, are not being obeyed, by everyone. The intelligent creatures he created, do not care. I think this "Great Journey" is ending this sinful Universe. Ending it to make a greater good. In the first Cortana letter she says "I have seen your future........(two lines down)......There will be no more Sadness. No more Anger. No more Envy.". This might talk about how, she has seen how the gods will destroy this universe. Create one without envy, without anger, without sadness. No sins.
I say, that the Forerunners, are gods, or godlike. In the bible, Jesus is referred to as a forerunner somewhere (it's somewhere in there i think). They created the facilities to hold the flood. In case of the universe turning bad. Eventually, this flood would push everyone back to the ark. The covenant and the humans as we have seen so far. At the ark, maybe they would find refuge or be reminded of the gods somehow, and sins.
This is all I can put into words at the moment. This theory has got my head spinning. Too many things are swirling around up there. I have the ideas, I just can't write it down. When I got the story straight, I will write it from start to finish. At the moment, I'm just gonna put my theory up.
Cortana Letters. Some clues to end of Universe
Also, another thing. In the beginning of the first Cortana letter, she says "I have walked the edge of the abyss". Revelations 11:7 says "Now when they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will attack them, and overpower and kill them.".
In the second Cortana letter she says in one of the lines "And what of the Giants who formed this world?". I think that refers to the gods. She kinda blabbers on just like me in that letter, so it's hard to understand.
Talk about your theories on that
