As a Christian this is really cool to me. The promotional slogan for Halo 3 was "Believe". And in the bible the passages John 1:1-7 says as follows 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome[a] it. 6 There was a man sent from God whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might (*Believe*) Seeing as Bungies favorite number is 7 and Gods number is 7 and Halo 3s promotional word was "Believe" and as you can see the final word from John 1:1-7 is BELIEVE... This cannot be coincidence...
His number comes from nor from the book of John but the book of Revelation 1:17 NIV Reads "When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last."
The religious aspects of Halo were some of the most interesting parts of Halo for me, along with how forerunners pseudo worship of the precursors in the forerunner trilogy.
@jakespacepiratee3740 ehhh, I like the books, but the games were a major letdown in comparison. Halo 4 would have been good but doomed to failure with all the changes they made and separating from the og trilogy and creator's. I still don't understand why they thought it was going to be good, but when you have people who don't like Halo making the games, you get shit.
@@jakespacepiratee3740 i am a believer, but i'm most definately not seeing gospel preaching or a Bible study in halo. They might have used Bible references and undertones, but theres really nothing that yells "Christianity" in a first person shooter video game with aliens, blood and splattering etc
6:08 now keep in mind Chief also "sacrificed" himself to put an end to the Flood which as quoted by the Gravemind itself was a "monument to all your sins"
@@jakespacepiratee3740 the point is that he put his life on the line to put a an end to the flood and barely escaped only to end up adrift in space. From everyone else's perceptive he was dead. Sure in the legendary ending it shows him alive and obviously the series continued under 343/Microsoft, but it was very clearly Bungie's intent for that to be the end of his journey.
This video is gonna be awesome, I started my Christian journey around the same time I started playing halo it honestly help me build my faith, with the different allegories and music (“The Maw” is so angelic) it really always helped me have hope.
a bit of feedback, i absolutely loved the video, it was great, and i understand yall are busy/time zones, would be great if we could get some sorta follow-up/live stream, i wanna hear ya'll in a call and more natural, the swift cuts back n forth were a bit jarring and it didn't feel like yall were having a convo is all 😅 so something more im depth where you can ask questions and get extra clarification would be sick. and you can give a bit of extra detail to wendi to make the connections a bit more consise. keep up the amazing vids tho! :)
LUC I was doing some wondering about the flood Back when Bungie planned on Forerunners being ancient humans, what would their first encounter with the flood have looked like? And when exactly? This was obviously before the precursors were a concept and before the expanded lore of the Forerunners as we know under 343 But I was thinking, Ancient humanity (forerunners) developed enough to have galaxy spanning mega structures, so in their exploration of the stars did they just happen to stumble upon the floods home world? Anyways I thought it was an interesting question
I grew up Catholic, and Halo was my favorite franchise and seeing all the religious symbolism in the game just made it better. It gave everything in the game a whole different context to look through. I also love Wendigoon, so this collab video is perfect for this topic. Also you totally should do a video about ODST and it's connections to Dante's Inferno. I can't believe I somehow hadn't picked up on that obvious connection despite having read it and ODST being one of my favorites in the series.
Haven't seen this video yet but last night I literally had a dream that Wendi claimed that The Arbiter was a stand-in for Saul/Paul and if that isnt in the video we riot Edit: ... ...
One thing I wanna point out on the segment about the Great Schism. Some Elites (specifically Jul Mdama’s Covenant) *did* great their own religion. They don’t believe in the Great Journey and want to activate the rings but they do worship the Forerunners so I’d say it’s not the same as the covenants religion
I was wondering earlier today about the biblical references in halo. I don't take everything wendigoon says at face value but he has quite a large amount of knowledge about christian lore.
6:53 in my Greek Orthodox Sunday school, we were taught about types of Christ, someone who shows a characteristic of Jesus, such as job in the Old Testament, who suffered a lot similarly to Jesus, so this wouldn’t really be blasphemous if seen as chief being a type of Christ, someone who is saving humanity
Johns number 117 is from book of Revelation 1:17 NIV Reads "When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last."
I'm a Christian who has LOVED Halo my whole life, and I agree with Master Chief's name/designation being based on John 1:17 and Jesus Himself. Chief is called the Reclaimer (Jesus was the Redeemer), he freed captives (Jesus frees captive; Luke 4:18/Isaiah 61), he destroyed the flood (Jesus freed us from sin; 1 Corinthians 15:56-57), said "It's Finished" at the end of H3 (Jesus's last words before death on the cross and eventual resurrection) etc. The story of Halo is amazing and we love it, but the story of Jesus - a true story, that God has been weaving together throughout history in the lives of all people - is WHY we love these types of stories. God has set a hope in our hearts for a great story, and whether you know it or not, you are living in it! And the only hope we have to be on the victorious side over all of the sin and pain we experience and contribute to is surrendering to King Jesus and trusting Him for our salvation.
Kept ya waitin' huh? 😇
yes
NO THAT IS NOT SOLID SNAKE
Wendigooning with the boys
Have you seen that halo ce vr mod with the wall running?
Great work boss age hasn't slowed you down one bit
Make the ODST = Dante’s Inferno video please
Wendi have you played halo??😭 I know Caleb and Jackson have, so that'd be super cool
I think it’s about time, Virgil’s a callin’ 🫡
Rababababababa
You gotta be kidding me, that's amazing. Yeah I can't wait to see that
Damn I’m jealous! you guys should collab more often. Happy holidays 2:15
THE CROSSOVER I NEVER KNEW I WANTED BUT ALWAYS NEEDED WHAT THE-
As a Christian this is really cool to me.
The promotional slogan for Halo 3 was "Believe".
And in the bible the passages John 1:1-7 says as follows
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome[a] it.
6 There was a man sent from God whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might (*Believe*)
Seeing as Bungies favorite number is 7 and Gods number is 7 and Halo 3s promotional word was "Believe" and as you can see the final word from John 1:1-7 is BELIEVE... This cannot be coincidence...
This is what its actually referencing and i cant believe not many people realized that. Not even wendigoon. Regardless nice find
Bumppppp
Also it's john 1-17 quite literally drops the word flood
@@FiercePumpkin what's that mean?
His number comes from nor from the book of John but the book of Revelation 1:17 NIV Reads "When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last."
Wendigoon and HiddenXperia together. What a fantastic combo I never thought I’d see. Can’t wait to finish watching this one ☝️
HiddenGoon or WendiXperia for the crossover name?
Getting a Bible lesson and a Halo lore drop at the same time. I’ll think on these as I play and read Halo now.
You know they give away bibles for free right?
@ I know, I have a chronological one. But this is a lesson, not the book. Comprende?
A wendigoon collab is something that I didnt expect, but it is something that Im happy to see :D
The religious aspects of Halo were some of the most interesting parts of Halo for me, along with how forerunners pseudo worship of the precursors in the forerunner trilogy.
Don’t YOU DARE associate 343 filth with OG Bungie perfection! We ARE Forerunners!!
@jakespacepiratee3740 ehhh, I like the books, but the games were a major letdown in comparison.

I still don't understand why they thought it was going to be good, but when you have people who don't like Halo making the games, you get shit.
@@digitalninja5941 ok even i don’t believe that end but. Halo 4 had Bungie people on it.
@jakespacepiratee3740 Did it? I thought at that point that everyone from bungie either left or was working on Destiny.
A HiddenXperia and Wendigoon Collab wasn't the birthday gift i was expecting but it is most certainly welcome
Happy birthday friendo ❤
Happy birthday bro
Yay my favorite halotuber uploaded!!
When Wendigoon talks about religious symbolism in one of my favourite game franchises, I sit my Catholic arse down and listen
You said that perfectly
Amen 🙏
Yeah he has a tendency to look for christian meaning where there is none. It’s an effort at indoctrination.
@@jakespacepiratee3740 No. No it isn't.
@@jakespacepiratee3740 i am a believer, but i'm most definately not seeing gospel preaching or a Bible study in halo. They might have used Bible references and undertones, but theres really nothing that yells "Christianity" in a first person shooter video game with aliens, blood and splattering etc
What a crossover that i was not expecting but happy to have gotten it in my notifications.
Last time I was this early Ancient humanity was in a two-front war.
Same
6:08 now keep in mind Chief also "sacrificed" himself to put an end to the Flood which as quoted by the Gravemind itself was a "monument to all your sins"
But he’s still alive by the end of it..
@jakespacepiratee3740 thats probably why I put quotations
@@ToxicCoffeeTM then what did he sacrifice?
@@jakespacepiratee3740 the point is that he put his life on the line to put a an end to the flood and barely escaped only to end up adrift in space. From everyone else's perceptive he was dead.

Love it guys! Always my favorite to dive into the religious significance of such a religiously inspired series!
FINALLY ever since you mentioned this video being a thing I’ve been waiting patiently
This crossover wasn't on my 2024 bingo card, but I'm all for it.
“Never stop Gooning.”
-wendiGoon, Gooning Master
been checking your channel ever since you casually announced the collab.
worth the wait
Man Ive been waiting for this video for a while! Hopefully we can get a couple more collab videos
What a wild crossover.
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
8:07. A covenant is used in Gen 9v11 where God puts a covenant (the rainbow) between his people and the flood. How did you guys miss that one?
As an LDS member, its super cool to see ties between my favorite game franchise, and part of my religious doctrine
Never in my life did i think HiddenXperia and Wendigoon would do a collab
Wendigoon is collabing with all my favorite youtubers, and I love it
This video is gonna be awesome, I started my Christian journey around the same time I started playing halo it honestly help me build my faith, with the different allegories and music (“The Maw” is so angelic) it really always helped me have hope.
I’ve never set an alarm for a video until today
Thanks so much for this!
This video is saved in my GREATEST VIDEO EVER playlist. A Monument to All Your Sins. Mythic!!!
Excuse me what? Wendigoon talking about the Flood? What timeline are we in?
Nothing like watching Wendigoon talk about religious symbolism
One of the greatest TH-cam videos ever made. Love the both of you
a bit of feedback, i absolutely loved the video, it was great, and i understand yall are busy/time zones, would be great if we could get some sorta follow-up/live stream, i wanna hear ya'll in a call and more natural, the swift cuts back n forth were a bit jarring and it didn't feel like yall were having a convo is all 😅
so something more im depth where you can ask questions and get extra clarification would be sick. and you can give a bit of extra detail to wendi to make the connections a bit more consise.
keep up the amazing vids tho! :)
This might be halos most important and looked over subject
Love this you guys are great content creators, love you guys doing a collaboration its awesome.
Was not expecting this collab! Awesome
Nice! Collab of some of my two favorite youtubers!!!
Featuring *WHO* !?!
Oh dis gon b gud.

Did the Covenant Prophets hit home for you?
@jakespacepiratee3740 nah, they weren't interested in my sacred ring lol
0:46 NOW I HAVE TO SAY THE WHOLE SPEECH TO MYSELF
Wendigoon having Jschlatt levels of unexpected crossovers is what I'm here for
This was NOT a crossover I was expecting, but one I am deeply overjoyed by!
What a hype collaboration 🙌 👏
Master Chief was lost in the library
but what he didn’t realise was that The Creature was lost in there too
This is not where I was expecting a new Wendigoon drop
Wendigoon, mind telling me what you’re doing on this channel?
Sir, explaining Halos religious meanings
Epic collab. This makes me a little more hyped for Halo ..
Excited 🎉 Ready for a great halo video on Sunday
thank god been waiting for this
Haven't seen this video yet but last night I literally had a dream that Wendi claimed that The Arbiter was a stand-in for Saul/Paul and if that isnt in the video we riot
Edit: ...
...
Good video for a sunday, and the sunday before christmas
Top tier video for sure
Most random crossover I’ve ever seen. I love it
Yes. Do more and make a longer video.
Wendigoon is traveling through the TH-cam multiverse leaving a mark every and I love it
This was awesome!!!
I love this. Can you guys do this more?
Legitimately never imagined this crossover but now that it exists my gosh is it my favorite!! AHHH 😆😆😆
One thing I wanna point out on the segment about the Great Schism. Some Elites (specifically Jul Mdama’s Covenant) *did* great their own religion. They don’t believe in the Great Journey and want to activate the rings but they do worship the Forerunners so I’d say it’s not the same as the covenants religion
I love when games use religious symbolism and “references” in a way. This video is awesome
The colab we didn't deserve, but the one we needed
No one:
Hiddenxperia: I’ve partnered with Apex gaming PC’s!
a holy collaboration. legendary, even
So happy this collab happened
Now *this* is a runner for most ambitious crossover!
Awesome collab!
Wholesome community moment. 10/10 would light the rings again.
It took 29 seconds for this video to show up on my recommended😭
WENDI AND XPERIA???? I DID NOT KNOW THIS MORNING WAS GOING TO BE SO AWESOME!!
OHHHHHH MYYYYYYY GOOOOOODDDDDD ITS DADDYGOON AND DADDYXPERIA
Dude I’ve been waiting so long for the wendigoon colab ;-;
I was wondering earlier today about the biblical references in halo. I don't take everything wendigoon says at face value but he has quite a large amount of knowledge about christian lore.
Thank the Prophests HiddenXperia is back to save my day :D
Alright, let‘s watch a really nice video again!
my 2 favorite youtubers do a collab? hell yea
What if the ark is a reference to Noah's arc? As it's a place to preserve and save life
Yoooo! I’m early! Looking forward to this video, HX!
So... sequel when? Awesome video yall!
We need a legendary playthrough with wendigoon now
Holy fucking shit what a crazy collab what the fuck

7:26 bro wearing the armor from spy kids head ahhh lmao
BROOO GOATED COLLAB😭
1st comment, can I get a pin lol? Also I love the idea for this video, because, as a Christian, I do note a lot of religious relation to Halo.
Wait like actual wendigoon? Oh my I can’t wait to hear him talk about the Flood
Fascinating halo
Johns number 117 is from book of Revelation 1:17 NIV Reads "When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last."
The surprise when I saw WENDIGOON on here was incredible 😂😂😂
The Wendiverse continues to expand.
YES what a collab
Kickass crossover!
OML a HiddenGoon collab!?!?
"If i sat here comparing odst to Dantes inferno we'd be here for hours" is that a bad thing
A suprise to be sure but a welcome one.

Definitely want a Dante/ODST breakdown
John 11:7- going into Judea again may be the reference back to humans being the forerunner and reclaiming the mantle.
