Well, I agree with the first post, that is actually a really good connection, nice job on that. The part I still disagree on, though, is this.
EDIT: Oh, we've talked about this already, I think. Well, I think this is new, but whatever, don't worry about it if you don't want.

Sin itself is not death. Death may be the result of sin, but they are not quite the same in reference to Revelation. He fills the role of the Beast, the Antichrist, much nicer. Plus, I believe Azazel (one of the Fallen Angels) to be Abaddon. All sin was ascribed to Azazel, thereby making him a "monument" to all our sins.
First, I just gotta make sure about one thing: when you say ascribed, do you mean that it is because of him, sort of? Well, I'm not sure quite how to put it. Basically, what I'm getting from this is that sin is his fault, at least in a sense. If that is wrong, then don't bother with the rest of this, just tell me that's wrong.
Anyway, on to the rest. If sin is his fault, would he be a monument to it? It's kind of like this: the pharoahs built the pyramids (aka the pyramids are thier fault), so the pyramids are a monument to the pharoahs (well, that's a bit of a simplification, but I think you know what I mean). However, what you seem to be saying is that sin is Azazel's fault, so he is a monument to sin. But that doesn't work. The only way Gravemind could be a monument to sin is if he came about because of sin. And, as Goodgamer77 pointed out earlier, "the wages of sin is death," meaning that death is because of sin, making it a monument to sin.
On a side note, somebody here is named chiefkiller? Hm, I don't think that sounds good...and I don't know what he means either.
