Well, in my topic I had to post 7 times to fit the whole theory in.
It might not make sense if I just lump it up into a couple of paragraphs, but here I go anyway.
If you don't like it, check the link.
The flood is a representation of sin. At least the flood spores that infect you are the representation of is. The flood in the bible was a CONSEQUENCE of sin, but not sin itself. Do not think of Noah's ark and the flood. Think of the flood in halo as sin.
The Bible is made up of 2 parts, the old covenant (God's Law), and the New Covenant given through Jesus that frees us from the trappings of the Law.
The old covenant was a copy of what Moses saw on Mt. Sainai. God showed Moses copies of things in heaven, and Moses, as ordered, used those copies to set up the system of the old covenant.
Writers in the New testament/Covenant agree that the Law, the Old covenant is good, but also that it reveals to us our sin. It doesn't make us sin, it shows us our sins.
This is relative to halo. The covenant in halo are, in this case, representative of the Old Covenant in the Bible.
The Covenant in halo are copies of the forerunners. Well, all covenant technology was taken from forerunners. And who is it that releases the flood?
In all cases, it has been the covenant releasing the flood.
I hate using "=" (equal signs) in theory/essay writing, but it will make things simpler.
Covenant=God's Law [Old Covenant]
Flood=Sin
Master Chief=Mediator of the New covenant.
If you want to know exactly what I mean, or if I confused you, or you don't agree, or you want to know where I got my sources, I encourage you to take a gander at my thread.
