Grayce Hornwood Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Interesting thing about Psalm 31, just a few verses earlier in verse 13 it says " For I hear many whispering 'Terror on every side!' They conspire against me, and plot to take my life". Seems to reflect Jon's position at Castle Black fairly well. There aren't 22 verses in chapter 13 of Psalms, but I did find an interesting passage in Isaiah. Chapter 13 of Isaiah has 22 verses exactly, and the passage is a prophecy of the destruction of Babylon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePromiseThatWasAPrince Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Isaiah 13:22 "And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged" Holy.....Shit..... ETA: And as for the book of Psalms, they are all songs. Craziness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePromiseThatWasAPrince Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Damn man... I'm not religious, but even the Bible makes references to dragons every now and then, especially in the old testament Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser_tart Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 The dragon is usually used as a Satan alagory, which would work for me because I feel unknown to danny she might be the "bad guy" in the end.The road to hell is paved with good intentions ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grayce Hornwood Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 There's a passage in Revelation 12 about a woman and a dragon. The woman is said to be beautiful (Dany), and wears a crown of stars (Dany's future crown, maybe?). She gives birth to a son who is destined to rule all the nations with "an iron scepter" (Rhaego, perhaps?). Interesting parallels to Dany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. If we apply that to ASOIAF, it implies the doom of Valaria. that passasge from the bible talks about the destruction of Babylon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oursisthefury69 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Nice catch. When men at last returned to the isles to live, they were men from Valyria itself. Thirteen hundred and twenty-two years before the Doom, a sect of religious dissidents left the Freehold to establish a temple upon Lorath's main isle. Any specific thing about 13:22? Isaiah 13:22 "And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces: and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged" Holy.....Shit.....

Great connections/catches/points; But how do we relate the Doom-esque foreshadowing back to the post first posing the question from Mithras?, Where the followers of the blind-god Boash left Valyria 1322 years before the Doom? Perhaps they had some vision/knowledge of the future Doom? Not saying it isnt interesting by itself, but if that's included I'm sure it somehow relates back specifically to the situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what it says for the umpteenth time. Do you even understand where that 1322 number is coming from in relation to the actual story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowCastle Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I don't think it was intentional, but nice correlation anyway, OP. George was raised as a Catholic, I believe, and even though he now identifies as an agnostic or atheist, I have never bought into the opinion that there is no good or evil in his world. The grey is within the hearts of his characters because of a blending, not an obliteration of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
