Forerunner and a Prophet
[b][color=red]Warning: This thread contains Prophecy and possibly spoilers (I haven't played the game). If you are prone to flaming, you have been warned![/b][/color]
Welcome to my mother of all thread (thus far). For those of you who are familiar with my previous posts on the topic, this is new stuff. I have handpicked several passages from The Word. They're quite frightening at how they are [i]appearently[/i] coincidental... Or I'm just crazy (I like both answers). [i]If anyone would like a list of the passage titles, simply PM me for them and I'll be more than happy to send 'em your way.[/i]
([i]If you are [b]not[/b] a skeptic of my findings, skip this paragraph[/i])
I understand that some (if not, most or all of you) do not believe as I believe. But for all of you skeptics out there, please try to answer these questions:
[color=yellow]Where else do you hear about the Flood wiping out entire populations? Where else do you hear about the Prophets of the Covenant? Where else do you hear about the Reclaimer bringing salvation to mankind?[/color]
With that said, [b][i]let the intrigue begin![/b][/i] (any thoughts I add will be [i]italicised[/i])

Its an interesting idea.But some of the things you've highlighted seem a bit abstract.Things like the fire from the horses mouth being plasma,i doubt bungie decided that because of a comment about fire breathing horses in the bible the covenant would use plasma based weapons.And i doubt bungie took inspiration from the hero metioned in your extract,its a game so it needs a hero there would have been a chief anyway.The fact that there is a group of religious fanatics in the game means that there's obviously going to words of an ecumenical nature.I agree though, that "flood" was taken purposely from the bible along with "the arc".However i recently discovered myself that bungie also takes inspiration from greek myth.Tartarus was the hell to which the titans were exiled.And the creatures w hich lived in the world before the gods came were often referred to as the forerunners.Its interesting to speculate anyway.
