The_Sibelis:
5 connected not conflated. And yes he did stop being the Adversary in heaven. Those weren't random theory, they were based in literal bible scripture. The Adversary wasn't the same as being the enemy. The Adversary in particular was there to challenge the status quo, and could act in cosmic unbalance. In Job he's literally still in heaven questioning why God gave Job so much and trying to say if it was taken from him he wouldn't keep his faith. Can't sit at gods right hand from hell. Much as Nemesis gets to act when the fae courts are unbalanced. In the Jewish kabbalah(the order of seraphim specifically) he was literally the dark aeon of our reality Gaia, then the whole coming of the christ happened.
--- Quote ---How can Kusanagi be a Sword of the Cross when it predates the crucifixion?
Because the Swords are ideas and symbols as much as they are physical objects–maybe even more so. Kusanagi isn’t the original Kusanagi, Exaclibur isn’t the original Excalibur, etc. But their title, their /idea/ has been passed down from one generation to the next, much as the names of warships are passed down to the next generation of ships, with the new ship inheriting the titles, victories, and traditions of its forbears. The nails are passed on from one sword to the next, bringing bits of the metal of each sword that came before.
--- End quote ---
they asked about kusanagi and he answered with a plural in swords. All the swords are ideas. Not just kusanagi.
