that sound really good... kind of like i gotta get up and keep fighting. or i've got to finish the fight.
ok so maybe i'm going too far with this, but i think its worth it.
"i am your shield, i am your sword"
in the bible, "i am your Shield" is a message given to Abraham by God.
"I am you sword" is not found, but "I am the Word" is found in many places. and any one who know the bible knows that God's Sword is his word... in fact i remember hearing that in psalms or somthing.
know, one of the famous people in the bible who travled through the dessert was moses. Moses was send by god to find the prophets and tell them his word, he had a stick not a sword, but the word of God was the sword.
Every one that God entrusts with his word, is trying to make his way to the Holy city. this might be the journey of the master chief, up the coast of africa, from the New Mombas, though egypt, and them to the Holy City, where it is believed that the ARK of the COVENANT is being held. what the Covenant prophets are looking for.
so here comes the master chief -- wasn't his name John.... like John from The book of Revelation, the last book in the bible -- trying to stop the prophets.
will they find the ARK? it won't be nice... remember the indiana jones movie about the Lost Ark. yeah that was not a pretty picture was it.
I know you, your past, your future. Abraham from Genesis and John from Revelation, first and last book of the bible, alfa and omega. alsobungie loves the number seven, like the Seven tribes that where promissed to abraham and the last Seven Plagues in Relelations promissed by John. "this is the way the world ends."
ok i gotta go to class now. enjoy.
Yet another good theory, but here are the flaws.
The Ark is not of the Covenant. Its basically the master control center for all the Halo's, and probably other things, built by the Forerunners.
Also, it may not be "I am your sword in the trailer," ever since someones mentioned that it might be "I am your source" instead of "I am your sword," I haven't been able to hear sword again. Now that I'm aware of that, I always hear source no matter how hard I try.
Edit: Also, "This is the way the world ends" is also from a poem, the verse goes "This is the way the world ends, not with a bang, but a whimper"
Edit: Playing it back -3X now, gonna type in every single word I hear and post it here, along with the most likely meanings based on the information accumulated in this forum.
Edit as well, but same time as above: And to those that said I'm a stubborn idiot that needs to give up when proven wrong, I do give up when proven wrong. My mind works very different from most people, I can analyze tiny details when I watch, read, and hear, without even meaning to. My mind works in a very scientific fashion, sub consciously analyzing every piece of information I find, and applying what I know in the most logical fashion.
If I am persistent when it seems that I'm wrong, its because you logic doesn't fit correctly, and I can still find ways in which my concept is correct.
