The arrival of the Burning Legion in WoW was foretold in the Bible. Don’t you believe it? Someone on Reddit found “solid evidence”.
Guys and girls, put the tin foil hats aside and take a moment to look away from the chemtrails. If people want to see connections, they will find them, no matter how desperately they search for a correlation.
The Demons of the Legion – Foretold by the Bible
Since we regularly follow the social media of games for you, we occasionally browse Reddit and found an entertaining post regarding World of Warcraft: Legion. According to the user Pyreo, a connection between the Bible and the appearance of the addon “Legion” has been discovered (and no, we couldn’t make that up ourselves): The Bible predicted the arrival of the Legion many centuries in advance.
How does Pyreo come to this? He took the release date of Legion, August 30 – or 8:30. And lo and behold, if you search long enough in the Bible, you can even find a passage that can be used. As it states in the Gospel of Luke, chapter 8, verse 30:
“Jesus asked him, ‘What is your name?’ He answered, ‘Legion.’ For many demons had gone into him.”
If you are looking for someone to blame for why the Legion appeared so late – Blizzard couldn’t do anything about it, they just had to stick to the centuries-old source material.
Mein-MMO says: Sometimes you just have to praise the endurance of people who compulsively try to make connections where there are none. Sure, in this case it was probably meant to be entertaining, but to even make the effort to search for a suitable passage in the Bible that coincides with the release date – that’s a bit far out.
