Skylanders Fan Lore: The seven doom raiders from Trap Team are an allegory for the seven deadly sins, and each individual doom raider represents a different sin.
this one’s a few days late due to having a lot of doctors appointments sorry it’s just 9 pages, and about some rats… it’s more symbolic than anything really

This Same Jesus Will Come in Like Manner
By Bible Researcher Eli Kittim 🎓
According to the literary story, after his purported ascension into heaven, two angels make their appearance and instruct humanity not to look to the sky but to the earth in order to find Jesus. In Acts 1:11 (NKJV), the angels proclaim:
Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up
into heaven? This same Jesus, who was
taken up from you into heaven, will so come
in like manner as you saw Him go into
heaven.
What did the multitudes see? First and foremost, they saw Jesus standing on the earth prior to his ascension. Therefore, the angels ask, “why do you stand gazing up into heaven?” That is to say, why do you anticipate Christ’s coming from the heavens? Contrary to all expectations, he “will so come in like manner as you saw Him go”; in other words, as a man!
The angels are there to disclose the prophecy of Christ’s future coming. That seems to be their primary concern. But if Christ will come in human form, then this eye-opening verse must be illustrating the prophecy that will occur at the end of time, namely, Jesus’ ascension into heaven (cf. Rev. 12.5)!
There are some misleading translations that are based on the translator’s *theological bias,* which are not faithful to the original Greek text. Some of these inaccurate translations are the NIV, NLT, BSB, CEV, GNT, ISV, AMP, GW, NET Bible, NHEB, & WEB. All these Bible versions mistranslate the verse as if Jesus “will come back” or “will return.” However, the original Greek uses a word that does not imply a “coming back” or a “return.” It simply indicates *one* single coming. The Greek text uses the word ἐλεύσεται, which simply means “will come”!
So, Acts 1.11 seems to be part of an apocalyptic literary genre of prophetical writing, which can be summed up in the following statement:
This same Jesus … will so come in like manner as you saw Him go …
The revelation comes by way of a logical equation. It goes something like this: a) if Jesus was seen in *human form* before he left, & b) if he will come in the exact same *form* as when he left, then it follows that c) Jesus will come in human form. The prophecy is that although most people expect him to come from the sky, the truth is, he will come from the earth!
Given that he doesn’t come to the earth repeatedly but rather “once for all” (Heb. 7.27; 9.26), and since Acts 1.11 indicates in what form he will appear, it means that Christ will come “once for all” as a man. In other words, the ascension story in the text must necessarily be a literary device through which to reveal the prophecy that was seen in a vision!
Question: In what manner did they see Jesus go?
Answer: In human form!
Question: In what manner is Jesus said to come?
Answer: In like manner: as a man!

Here’s another Bible Version (Acts 1.11 NASB) which illustrates the exact same idea. Try meditating on this riddle:
This Jesus … will come in the same way as
you have watched Him go …

The White Hart
…In those days she resembled a white hart, pallid as bone, with eyes like glowing emeralds.
A ghost, some said, and certainly fay, but few were they that ever knew the truth of what she was. Most took her for a stag. But what they saw as antlers, broad and proud, were, in truth, branches.
Though rare, sightings of her sprouted like pokeweed in Autumn, when the trees made their fiery bed upon the forest floor.
Occasionally, brave warriors hunted her. Most came back, sullen and silent, a faraway cast to their eyes. Those that spoke told stories, and none were true, though true enough for men. Of course, she never doubted her own existence, and the stories that she told to a handful of stalkers ruined their hearts for all time. When the snows came, she was invisible, a niveous form, lithe and graceful, that melted into the frozen world. And, when her buds joined at last in Spring’s green fury, she would again become invisible, slipping softly away into Summer’s viridescent heat. It was in the times between when she felt naked and vulnerable, yet she loved the bright cool sadness of Fall Only then did she fear, and the sound of horns over horses and dogs drove her deep into the heart of the woods. But she was wise, and even brilliant men are utterly dim that cannot see magic in the weave of things. Cunning and fleet, no arrow had grazed her, nor trap was laid that had not been plainly seen. For her, it was always better (and safer) to remain hidden. Whenever some bold fool, arrow knocked, and string drawn, spotted her, they shouted in rage and mourned arrows lost in vain pursuit. In the towns, their tales became songs. They joined in a chorus about how she was slain by this man or that on such-and-such a day. To save reputations and doubt spare one’s skill, the hunter’s kill, it was spun, was tragically taken by some legendary highwayman or dour wolf. These stories made her laugh for there is freedom in death, especially when one yet breathes. It amused her that no one knew her name. Those who told stories were branded liars or madmen, but that never stopped their tongues from wagging. So rarely do men see what’s before them, and what is seen is often just themselves. These humans, she thought, would march off a cliff if they thought it would make them famous. The sane, she learned, are happy to dismiss the truth if it preserves their comfort. And that was how she liked it: safely hidden in the shadows of their denial, alone and free in the wildest places, a soul as old as the world was young.
