Wait come back here @echosilverwolf, that's such a genius thought. I've never considered the two witnesses might be non humans, but also it makes perfect sense, since they can already perform miracles and stuff(and also cause the most trouble). The only thing that worries me is them both getting killed............butthenresurrectedyay!
Hi, there's something about the opening credit sequence that immediately caught my eye upon the first viewing. @metatronhateblog and I have discussed the whole opening credits at length (helps that we're siblings and can sit in the same room to talk about it) and we both will probably make some posts about things we haven't seen addressed yet.
I haven't seen anyone mention this particular thing yet, but forgive me if this has already been pointed out.
This mountain they are marching up? This is Zion.
I'm almost certain. It's a very interesting word that's used several times in the Old and New Testament, most notably for me in the book of Revelation, which I read a lot as a former Christian (I liked it cause it was the least boring thing to read).
It has a few different meanings from what I've gathered (a note: this is not about z*ionism.), which I will try to give brief explanations on.
Originally I believe it was meant to be an actual location in Jerusalem, a hill/mountain that held the City of David. Literally called Mount Zion I think.
In the Old Testament it also is described as being the place where God rests, where they are enthroned.
Now look at this.
Pretty sure that's a throne room? It looks like a Greek temple, so I think that's the vibe it's going for. The place where God is located.
Most interestingly, Zion is symbolic of the city of heaven, which will come to earth and God will dwell with the people upon Jesus' return and judgement (at least that's what I'm getting from the text? It can be difficult for me to decipher sometimes). Revelation 14:1 states
"Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads."
I believe this is the first time Jesus appears during(after maybe?) the great Tribulation (aka, all the torments the earth endures during this time before his return) with those who have been chosen by God. "The Lamb" refers to Jesus, for those who may not know.
I thought it was odd that this possible Zion reference was placed here in season 2 since it's not something that we've seen or heard mentioned thus far, but I think we can safely assume it has to do with season 3 and the Second Coming.
A side note, there's something else I caught while looking at this as well:
I could be wrong, but it looks like these cherubs are tipping bowls. BOWLS!
In John's visions in Revelation 16, we see seven angels with bowls pouring out plagues to the earth. Bowls of God's wrath. I could go into what they are but that's a whole other post. For some reason I always remembered the bowls the most, I have no idea why. There's so much to find in the opening, it's like a scavenger hunt and my little brain loves it! Anyway.
Fascinating that Zion is what the people and our heroes are marching toward. Are they simply moving toward the end times (again)? Are they marching straight to God's house to get some answers (Aziraphale might be)? Are they moving toward that utopian heaven on earth as they begin eternity, forever and ever amen (as Michael mentions in the forbidden heavenly footage)? Maybe all three.
It may not be all that important and just be purely symbolic, but I thought it was neat. There really is so much in the details!
Thanks for coming to my rambling! I'm going to go try finding more references now.
Y'know this has actually been bugging me for a while now. Because in the Bible, the antichrist, the four horsemen, the Second Coming, it's all part of the same apocalypse. Maybe they didn't really stop Armageddon so much as delay it or slow it down a bit.
Watching Good Omens while working on Lilith's dress (nap time! Yay!) and something jumped out at me;
Aziraphale: Is there some other way of locating him?
Crowley: How the Heaven should I know? Armageddon only happens once, you know.
Except, that's not true. Now we're dealing with the Second Coming.
Strings tangled up in strings and I'm not sure exactly what they mean, but it is interesting.
Castor is not good
But very verysexy ~~~
Crowley will love it

(just Tron under the cut)
This is my favorite moment from Aziraphale.
Notably one of the few times he invokes the Almighty's name. One of the only, if not the only time he doesn't say "I" when forgiving.
Aziraphale, who's terrified of his bosses but cares so much about humans that he's willing to take a chance and believe that he should be protecting these innocent kids no matter what the paperwork says.
He says this to his only friend(sort of), who he just learned(supposedly) is super cool with child murder, who could destroy him too for all he knows with no consequences given the circumstances and again, the paperwork giving him the freedom to do so.
Forgiveness, his favorite thing, something he's really good at.
He's about to walk away from the only person who has really been nice to him at all, if ever. The only person who might be a bit like him.
He's 100% saying that he's not gonna overlook this.
He's so brave.
I gotta focus, I'm shifting into
Good Omens mode
Anyway my sister made this fmv and I may or may not have watched over her shoulder the entire time and I love it so much, go look at it!

This very much makes me think of the beginning of the movie where someone says something like "what are they gonna do, fight us with bows and arrows?" And then at the end Ram proceeds to wreck their shit with the very weapons they scorned
Was taking screenshots for the Komuram Bheemudo meta post and this one.... this one just makes me cry 😭 when he whips him on the face 😭
I can't promise that I will only talk about tron in the year of our lord 2021 but I will be thinking about it constantly.
