Angels: Odd that the enemy of humanity is
called angels. Are they really messengers from God, or does there name
just come from a misguided interpretator of the Dead Sea scrolls? What
is their mission, and why does Sachiel (3rd angel, the first angel to fight
Shinji) shoot crosses? What about the fifth angel in Revalations? That
angel was said to drop from the sky like a star and bury into the ground
or something, like Ramiel, fifth angel in Evangelion (The geometric angel
with the long drill). Coincidence? And why were their arrival predicted
in the Dead Sea Scroll, so accurately so that Gendo was able to leave Antartica
one day before the angel in Antarctica exploded?

The Evangelions=Barons of Hell?: All the Evangelions
in the series are based on barons of hell. Unit 00 is based on a baron
with only one eye for a face. Unit 01 is based on the baron of darkness,
which had one horn and giant teeth. Unit 02 was based on a blood red baron
who had four eyes and two jaws. One of the webpages in my link section
was where I got this info.

The Magi: In the bible the Magi are three
wise men, the Magi in Eva are supercomputers, makes sense? Anyway, the
names are supposedly the same too, Casper, Balthsamer, Melchior. (Sp?)

Second Impact: The cleansing of sin. Noah's
flood was also used to purify the Earth of sin, just as it did in Evangelion.
Antarctica was left as a lifeless sea of ice and blood red water, the "real
Dead sea" as Gendo says.

Characters: I heard somewhere that Misato
and the children's conflicts are based on characters from the bible. Perhaps
that's true, but I think that the character problems of the Shinji, Misato,
Rei, and Asuka are supposed to also be representative of the personality
problems in humanity as a whole, so maybe that connection is a stretch.

Kabbalah, Tree of Life: I've actually seen
this before. I'm not totally sure on it's purpose, but I think the Angel's
names are on it.

Longinous: The spear that pierced Jesus, now
a weapon that is sized just right for Eva00 to carry around :-) The "holy"
or "unholy" (I'm not religious, I don't know) spear is used right now to
hold an angel on the cross. SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER!!!

Lilith: The first angel? She is the one that
is crucified on the cross in Terminal Dogma. She's the one being impaled
by the Spear of Longinous, which resists her somehow. In the movie Death,
when Rei removes the spear, she regenerates her legs. She is the source
of human life. Wait till you see her secret face beneath the mask!
In mythology, Lilith is supposedly Adam's
first wife, but she was banished or something. Since she left before the
exile, she was not made mortal, so she is supposedly around. She was also
reported to have had a lot of children from the arch angels, the children
were weird demon things called 'lilim'. Kaoru also uses the term 'lilim',
but he is talking about humans when he uses it. Oh yeah, all the stuff
sticking out of Lilith sure looks like legs, doesn't it? :-)
