Here are some weird biblical references to the Master Chief, otherwise known as John.
Biblical Reference
A view of Master Chief from behind"John-117" is believed by many fans to be a reference to New Testament of the Christian Bible.
Bungie Studios is known to have placed many biblical references in their earlier Marathon video game series, and many other such references have been found in the Halo series.
Here are passages from the Book of Revelation (more formally known as The Revelation of St. John the Divine). Revelation in Greek is called "The Apocalypse", a title possibly shortened from "The Apocalypse of John."
When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last."
I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.
Book of Revelation, NIV. Chapter 1 - verses 17 and 18.
And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.
Revelation. 11:7
There are also references in one other book of the Bible. 1 John houses these:
But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin.
1 John 1:7 (1 John 1: 7)
And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
- 1 John 2: 1 7
Spartan 117And here are passages from the Gospel of John. These are thought less likely to be references:
Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.
Gospel of John, 11:7
For the law was given by Moses, [but] grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Gospel of John, 1:17
Alternatively, others believe the number to be a reference to "site 117", an archeology site containing the first evidence of human battle. The site is near Jebel Sahaba, Nubia and dates from between 12,000-10,000 BC. The site contains 59 human remains of men, women and children who were clearly killed with primitive hunting implements.
