HOW CODE GEASS SHOWS US HOW THE ANTI-CHRIST WILL COME

First, this anime series struck me the most. Before my conversion, this is for me one of the best anime series of all time. It tells the story of a boy named Lelouch Lamperouge, a normal boy who gained powers known as Geass, a power of the word. Simply put it, the Geass embedded in his eye makes the people that sees and hears him follow everything that he says.

From a humble student, he now ascends to a leader of a rebel group bent on fighting a major world empire (Great Britain), to free those oppressed. In the end, he succeeds and becomes emperor of the entire world, taking out all his opponents and even his old allies. This cost him his life, as the world now lives in peace thanks to the efforts that he made.

But beyond the great animation, done by Sunrise and character designs by CLAMP studios, great storyline and superb voice acting,the story has some biblical undertones which can be attributed to the coming of the Ant-Christ here on earth.

Parallels will indicate otherwise. CC, the green haired girl that gave the Geass to Lelouch can be attributed as the False Prophet of the Revelation. In the Book of Revelation Chapter 13 it tells of the coming of the False Prophet, who will "...causeth the earth and them therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed (verse 12)". The previous verses also tells that the false prophet creates wonders to deceive the world, to create and image of the beast, to give life to this image, and for everyone to worship it (verses 14-16). Now, anime fans will say CC didn't do all these things, but a closer analysis reveals otherwise. Lelouch was normal college student before the Geass was passed on to him. So whatever actions Lelouch did while under the Geass, though for most part he acted on himself, was still caused by the actions of CC. Try reading the bible and watch the series again.

If CC is the False Prophet, then Lelouch is definitely the Ant-Christ. Still, in the Book of Revelation Chapter 13, The False Prophet gives a command to make an image of the beast, while he gives life to the image of the beast, and commands everyone to worship the image of the beast, that caused many that would not worship him will be killed (verses 14-15). Lelouch fits this mark as the Geass gives him the ability that anyone follows his commands. Those in opposition will die as a result. His first use of the Geass was when he freed CC and used it on the soldiers or guards to kill themselves. When he became the Emperor of the world, he was about to execute his old allies, The order of the Black Knights, he was killed by ZERO (Suzaku) in order to establish peace in the whole world. Wait, he dies a hero and still the Anti-Christ? We don't know if the peace that he established will be lasting, as plans for a Season 3 occurs. Still one man with a lot of power controlling the entire world seems very much likely that he is the Anti-Christ.No one man can wield that much power. Incidentally, the Geass is his Mark.

Now, the Geass. It's a power of the word, in which it lights up in one of his eyes, and whatever he commands will be followed by the people. Of course, it's none other than the old serpent Satan himself. Yes, he is the one behind the False Prophet and the Anti-Christ. He manipulates people, and he uses deception and blasphemies. The power of Satan's word makes those that are weak willed follow whatever he says. This is the power that the Geass possesses. Though we may see that it is used by the main character for good, still there was a lot of blood,death and destruction that it caused.

I have been wanting to write this for a long time, but I guess I have to write it now since there is already a teaser trailer for Season 3 (entitled Lelouch of the Resurrection). Will I watch it? Definitely, but I will also look for signs and symbols that will give us more hints. Please take note that this is not written to make bad light of the show. It is written because they are already showing us how he will come and rule over this world. Until then, let us keep in our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
