IN THE FILM PROMETHEUS, LIFE ON EARTH WAS CREATED BY A GROUP OF GIANT ALIENS,
KNOWN AS THE ENGINEERS.
HOWEVER THE ENGINEERS GREW DISPLEASED WITH HUMANS AND CREATED A VERSION
OF THE XENOMORPHS, AKA THE ALIENS, TO DESTROY US.
AT ONE POINT ARCHAEOLOGIST ELIZABETH SHAW SAYS “THEY CREATED US.
THEN THEY TRIED TO KILL US.
THEY CHANGED THEIR MINDS.
I DESERVE TO KNOW WHY.”
THE WHY IS SIMPLE.
WE FAILED THEM AND KILLED THOSE THEY SENT TO HELP GUIDE US.
THE HUMAN SPECIES IS A FAILED EXPERIMENT THAT THEY WANT TO END.
THE MOVIE TAKES PLACE IN 2093.
AND WE KNOW THAT 2,000 YEARS AGO IS WHEN THE ENGINEERS MADE THE DECISION TO DESTROY US.
WHAT SIGNIFICANT EVENT HAPPENED ON EARTH 2,000 YEARS AGO?
THE CRUCIFIXION OF JESUS CHRIST.
PERHAPS JESUS HIMSELF WAS AN EMISSARY SENT BY THE ENGINEERS TO GUIDE US.
WHEN HUMANS EVEN TURNED ON HIM, THE ENGINEERS KNEW WE WERE IRREDEEMABLE
AS A SPECIES AND DECIDED TO DESTROY US.
SOUND CRAZY?
CONSIDER THE CHRISTIAN SYMBOLISM THROUGHOUT THE MOVIE.
SHAW HERSELF IS INFERTILE, AND YET SHE BECOMES PREGNANT WITH ONE OF THE ALIENS,
LIKE AN IMMACULATE CONCEPTION.
AND WHEN DOES THIS BIRTH HAPPEN?
CHRISTMAS DAY.
THE NAME OF THE PLANET ITSELF IS A CLUE.
LV-223 CORRESPONDS TO BIBLE PASSAGE LEVITICUS 22:3, WHICH STATES THAT IF PEOPLE ARE UNCLEAN
WHEN THEY APPROACH THE SACRED OFFERINGS THEN THEY ARE CUT OFF FROM GOD.
THE ENGINEERS ARE OUR GODS.
WE BECAME UNCLEAN WHEN WE SACRIFICED JESUS, THEIR SACRED OFFERING.
NOW, WE ARE BEING CUT OFF FROM THEM.
JESUS ATTEMPTED TO SAVE HUMANITY THROUGH SELF-SACRIFICE.
WHEN THE ENGINEER SHIP, WHICH IS FULL OF ALIENS, IS HEADING
TOWARDS EARTH TO DESTROY US.
CAPTAIN JANEK AND HIS CREW SACRIFICE THEMSELVES TO SAVE HUMANITY
BY CRASHING INTO THE ENGINEER SHIP.
ALL THREE HAVE THEIR ARMS RAISED OVER THEIR HEADS, WITH JANEK ELEVATED IN THE MIDDLE OF
HIS TWO CREWMAN…
THE EXACT SAME POSITION AS JESUS AND THE TWO THIEVES WHEN THEY WERE CRUCIFIED AT CALVARY.
AND IT’S NOT AN ACCIDENT THAT SHAW IS WEARING A CRUCIFIX FOR THE ENTIRE MOVIE.
SO IF PROMETHEUS WAS ABOUT GENESIS, THE CREATION OF LIFE ON EARTH,
WILL THE UPCOMING SEQUEL BE REVELATIONS, THE END OF LIFE?
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
