He’s done all of this not only to be artistic and clever, but becaus ...

It's true, Alicent Hightower... is pretty damn funny. Her characterization of House of the Dragon, I argue, is masterful, and a psychology-deconstruction field-day for those of us intimately familiar with well... people like Alicent. And Criston! We'll get into their relationship, and whether it makes sense for the characters. HotD playlist: https:…

John the Baptist Announces the Lamb of God Has Arrived 29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! 30 This is the one I meant when I said, ‘A man who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’ 31 I myself did not know him, but the reason I came baptizing wit…

Rumors that Nettles has been cut from House of the Dragon are flying, so let me give you the scoop, and more importantly, tell you why Nettles is so important to the story.

Who is the Son of Man? The Son of Man is the term Jesus used to describe himself time and again throughout his time on earth. Why did he call himself this?

Fish-human hybrids ARE absolutely real in A Song of Ice and Fire.

This year our walk through Revelation will focus on the cast of characters. The very first character we encounter is the most important one of all, God.

The ancient Ironborn traditions of salt kings and rock kings, and of the high kings appointed by the kingsmoot all date back to the era of the Grey King, when mariners from across the Sunset Sea merged with local First Men to create the Ironborn people. That's why there's nothing like the Kingsmoot anywhere else in Westeros, and why salt and rock k…

023- Worship God Main Question God made us to worship Him and Him alone. Are we worshipping anything instead of, or along side, Him? Main Verse: Revelation 22:8-9 I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me, 9 but he said to me, “You must no…

What was the Hammer of the Waters anyway? It was something the children of the forest supposedly "called down" to smash the land bridge known as the Arm of Dorne, yes, but what was it?

This is kinda sorta my grand unifying theory of how all the Azor Ahai / Nissa Nissa / Lightbringer / dragons stuff directly connects to Westeros, the first Long Night, the Others, and the weirwoods. Renly's death at the hands of Stannis's shadow is the perfect role-play of the entire theory, so here it is! Enjoy!…

Whether or not you buy my theory about Jon's body being stolen by the Others, there will no doubt come a moment when Melisandre is involved in some kind of fiery resurrection / freeing Jon from Otherish enchantment event coming in The Winds of Winter... but will this be Mels' final act? Or will she become something... more?…

All throughout the Bible, we see garden imagery that show that God is the source of all life.

Because of this, every atom, every cell, every leaf, and all the fruit of the …

The evidence is accumulating - that's an accumulating Snow joke - the Others are going to come steal Jon's body, they're going to use him to lead their invasion of the Others... and they might be planning to fill it with the spirit of Night's King - the original one - who may be lurking in the weirwoodnet somewhere (this would be the Great Other). …
