> # jon sims is not the antichrist he’s actually a jesus figure

> i’ve been doing a lot of research into revelation for writing stuff and martin is very incorrect when he calls himself the antichrist’s plus one. that’s melanie. and here’s why

> 1) the antichrist is a figure that stems from the book of Revelation, the bible’s apocalypse book. But the antichrist actually had nothing ot do with the apocalypse start, and actually doesnt even show up till like 19 chapters in its insane. He’s just some random dude who starts a cult, and has a False Prophet hyping him up, so the antichrist is actually georgie and the false prophet is melanie.
> 2) the person who actually starts the apocalypse is ‘the lamb with seven horns and seven eyes, that looked like it’d been slaughtered,’ which is a metaphorical representation of jesus. (Funnily enough, if you look through revelation, its actually angels doing most of the tormenting, not demons!)
> 3) He has literally died and woken up before, and then some time later he dies for real, just like actual jesus. Not to mention him descending into the buried–literally being buried in a cave, just like jesus was on the cross, before emerging after 3 days. Peter even explicitly calls him a 'grubby jesus’.
> 4) Jesus as a character is all about self-sacrifice and needless suffering to bring about a better world. Wonder What That Reminds Me Of! Even his 3-day descent into the buried is explicitly a self-sacrifical, semi-suicidal act. And on a more literal level, Jon suffering on every level possible was what was necessary to bring about the Change, and then the expulsion of the Fears from this universe (and dooming a bunch of other universes, but just as the bible doesnt spare a thought for all the people trapped in hell for eternity when describing the post-apocalyptic utopia, we’re not thinking about the other worlds rn. just this one.)
> 5) the amount of jon fanart i’ve seen mistaken for jesus is truly ridiculous
