I have walked the edge of the Abyss.I have governed the unwilling.I have witnessed countless empires break before me.I have seen the most courageous soldiers fall away in fear.[I was there with the Angel at the tomb]
I have seen your future.
And I have learned.
There will be no more Sadness. No more Anger. No more Envy.
I HAVE WON.
Oh, and your poet Eliot had it all wrong:
THIS is the way the world ends.

I thought that there was so many biblical references in Halo, that there might as well be a forum where ppl can give there theory's and show ones that they have found, or have made themselves

John 117 is a Biblical reference, look at John 1.7 or 1.17 or something.

Everything will be gone long before me. When the first living thing was born, I was here, waiting. When the last living thing dies, my job is finished. I'll put the chairs on the tables, turn out the lights and lock the universe behind me when I leave.

Other thread a while ago.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the ark itself as a biblical reference yet, I mean, it's pretty obvious. In the bible, Noah was instructed by the Lord to construct an ark as a means to escape the "flood" which he would soon unleash upon the world to rid the world of all the wicked. He also instruceted Noah to take a pair of every animal, male and female aboard the ark so that after the flood had passed, he could replenish the earth. I think that last part about taking a pair of every animal, etc. in order to replenish the earth is interesting because it coincides with my theory that the forerunner are ancient humans who had to escape the flood by evacuating their entire planet and eventually setlling on earth, with a bunch of genetic samples or whatever of all the wildlife and flora of their native planet, and proceeded to populate the earth and make it their home away from home so to speak. That's just my theory anyway.
