Summary
Warning ! This article contains freebooter for American Jesus : RevelationAmerican Jesusbrings the scriptural ending of days to the modern era , and highlights the more affirmative aspect of what every Bible build was meant to stand for . However , that optimism almost had a twist that would have assuredly blown the minds of everyone read the serial - religious or not .
American Jesusis something of areimagining of level likeRosemary ’s BabyorThe Omen , as it recite the story of the orchestrated giving birth of the Antichrist by the rule class of diabolist who secretly start the intact world . The Antichrist ’s name was Jodie , and he was raised in the classical ‘ modest town USA ’ , so that when it was time for him to rise in political power , masses would find him relatable . By the end of the book , everything had go as planned . Jodie was the President of the United States , the American populace listen to everything he said , and he was regard as the answer to everyone ’s problems - even around the ball . It was utter . There was just one job : Jodie was n’t malevolent , and in the end , surrendered to God ’s love rather than examine to stamp it out . And that is what led some proofreader to think Jodie was n’t the Antichrist at all , but rather was the Returned Christ all along , which is a theory that was confirmed by the creator of this comic themselves as an abandoned ( though nearly used ) plot of land decimal point .
American Jesus’ Antichrist Was Nearly The Returned Christ
Miller : “ Do you remember the thought I had where Jodie ACTUALLY WAS the turn back Jesus and the Satanists had taken him away and pull a fast one on him into believing he was the Antichrist ? It ’s kind of cool , peculiarly as there ’s a small muddiness in Revelation itself , where the Antichrist appears and act to be the returned Christ for four year . I wish the idea at first , but it all just felt a little convoluted . ”
Gross : “ Part of me still declare the theme that Jodie was the Christ ! ”
It seems as though Jodie really being the Returned Christ was something that both Miller and Gross not only played around with , but actively take as a possible kink to tot to the story . However , while the twist would have been unexpected ( and would have been a treble - twist , given how Jodie was present in chapter 1 ) , it would have lessen the overall point of the story . Jodie was good not because of God , but in spite of the devil . He was raise by parent who sleep with him , and he was fence in by those who care about him throughout his entire puerility . Even after every malign human activity the Satanist made him do , Jodie still search forgiveness , as he had a moral ambit inside himself that did n’t need the intervention of any godlike being .
Jodie was destined to be the Antichrist , but in the face of all the evil that came with the title , Jodie opt to reject everything he ’d been taught and focus alternatively on the guidance of his own moral sense . If he was the Returned Christ , then of course he would have chosen God over Satan in the close . But alternatively , Jodie chose neither side . or else , he take manhood , and have the manipulative might of the ones above and below trope the rest out themselves . So , yes , there was almost amind - blow pull inAmerican Jesus ' endingthat would have really flipped the Antichrist ’s role in the original Revelation . But in the goal , American Jesuswas a better story for leave that particular thought on the proverbial newspaper clipping room trading floor .
