Christ vs. Antichrist in a steel-cage match!

I was thinking about something while reading a thread on the antichrist. Why does the bible portray the antichrist as 40 cubits tall, 666 tattooed on his head, and mad as hell while Christ isn’t as formidable of a person physically? I mean, Jesus is powerful in his own right, but he isn’t gigantic and red. If they were to face off in a final batle of good vs. evil, wouldn’t the Son of God want to be just a little bigger? Any ideas on why the bible made Christ humble and average-sized, while the Antichrist seems to be more powerful?

I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands, and among the lampstands was someone “like a son of man,” dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest. His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance. When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: "Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.
— Revelation 1:12-18

Seems pretty imposing to me…

Well, Satan beat Jesus like a red-headed stepchild when they had that pay-per-view match in South Park.

Yeah, but the horned one is quite ineffective in deserts.

But not at desserts, he makes one mean apple pie…

The AntiChrist isn’t always portrayed like a Marvel comic Super-Villain. Have a look at Hieronymus Boschs triptych of The Adoration of the Magi (Ol’ Hieronymous fid a LOT of Adorations of the Magi, but I only think he did one triptych of it) and there’s a mysterious crowned figure peering out of the barn. He’s got a crown on his head and a white bandage around one leg, and one theory is that he’s the AntiChrist. He looks like a more even match for Jesus Christ as he’s usually portrayed.

Sigh.

I DO NOT LIKE admitting I’ve seen an episode of S**** P***, BUT…

The Anti-Christ was that Damien kid,

and Satan lost the match.

Goboy, I’m going to call your mom and tell her what you made me do. Then you’ll be sorry. :wink:

Satan didn’t lose the match, he took a dive because he had bet on Jesus as a longshot.

Christ vs. antichrist in a “steel-cage” match?

I’d think that with how powerful both of those guys are supposed to be, steel wouldn’t be nearly strong enough to contain them.

How about an arenak-cage match?

I’d carefully search the Antichrist for foreign objects and try to keep the arena fixed seating, so he’d have no folding chairs to use on Jesus. :slight_smile:

The Antichrist? Heel. Jesus, a Baby Face, definitely.

I can see it now, the AntiC, all 40 cubits, horns, fangs and all, vs a short, dark, skinny guy, who is already wounded.

The dude from 666 approachs, the ground trembles, ichor drips from his poisonous tail, his claws slicing the air. JC stands quietly.

The Demon springs! JC snaps his fingers, and the Antichrist “quietly and softly vanishes”.

Yep, a real crowd pleaser, that. I hope there’s something else on the bill. :smiley:

This is starting to remind me of Jesus vs. the Invisible Pink Unicorn.

Well, I can guarantee that this match would be hard pressed to beat the Mankind vs. Undertaker Hell in a Cell match…now THAT was a good fight…

Didn’t they have a Celebrity Deathmatch between Jesus and Satan a while back?

Howzabout Jesus versus Dark Pheonix on the moon

What’s scary about this is, there really is a new, small organization out there called – I’m not kidding – The Christian Wrestling Federation.

They have wrestlers with names like “Jesus Freak,” “Angel,” and “The Beast.” (And here I thought Angel and Beast were just members of the original X-Men.) I’ve never seen them in action, but I suppose they quote bible verses whenever they do a body-slam.

Lot better than most of the Tyson fights I’ve seen lately.

Steeljaw, post a warning or something next time you do this. Now I have got Diet Mt Dew all over my screen. :smiley: TOO funny.

Tag-team: Satan, the Antichrist, and the demon Belphegor in this corner. In the other, Jesus, God, and the Holy Ghost.

Ted: Gee, Bob, Satan looks like he’s in the best shape of his career tonight. He’s lean, muscular, and look at the glint on those horns!
Bob: Yes, Ted, he’s been training hard since the Enlightenment, and I think tonight we’re going to see whether it pays off.
Ted: Yes. But I’m not sure we can say the same for their competitors this evening. Jesus looks just terrible. His body mass looks to be about 85 lbs., he looks out of breath, and I hear his stigmata never really healed from his last bout. I suspect his team will not be leaning heavily on him tonight.
Bob: Probably true, Ted. But the real question is whether the Holy Ghost will show himself worth the ticket price. He has not been seen or heard from very much the last few years, and there was a sense that maybe the Ghost was washed up, that his career was over; there’s even been a rumor that he was going to be dropped from the team tonight in favor of Hephaestus, the Greek god of smiths and craftsmen, but Hephaestus cancelled at the last minute and the -
Ted: -the holy spirit will get his -
Bob: -will get one last chance, yes, Ted. But of course the Jesus team has been under new management lately; they brought in a new press agent with Pope John Paul II and there may be a few bugs still being worked out as he, he integrates into-
Ted: -into the management team, yeah. I must say, though, that the teams may be balanced by the inclusion of Belphegor on the Satan side. The Lord of Sloth has not been building himself a record to be proud of - he’s 0 and 1,235,673 this year, with 1,235,673 forfeitures as a no-show. And the way he’s slouching there on the ropes does not exactly make it look like he’s taking this match seriously. Oooh! Satan just shoved a red hot poker up his nether regions, and that seems to have woken Belphegor up. He’s shouting and jumping about, eager for the match to begin, now.
Bob: Yes, Ted, but even so, Satan and the Antichrist look like they would be a match for the Jesus team by themselves. Although I must say the choice of bright pink for their team colors has not pleased their fans.
Ted: But listen to them cheer for the Antichrist! He’ll really be wrestling with a home team advantage tonight.
Bob: And look at the look on God’s face! He is FURIOUS! The cheering of the crowd is definitely bringing out the old testament God here tonight, Ted, no doubt about -
Ted: Bob, if they don’t start this match soon, I’m not sure this crowd is going to -

BOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!

Ted: And there’s the bell!! It looks like the chosen starters are Satan and … Oh! I can’t believe it! They’re putting Jesus out as their starter!
Bob: And the crowd doesn’t like this. They want to see Satan face the player many feel is his “counterpart” on the Jesus team, God. But the fighters are advancing accross the ring, and now…

If Jesus is going to defend his title, isn’t a fight with Godzilla manditory?

Ted- What a clothesline from Jesus!
Bob- Satan never saw that one coming and now Jesus drops the leg…
Ted- It looks like Jesus is going to use his finisher, the crucifix… he’s got Satan up, he’s holding him there and doooown he goooooeeees!
Bob- looks like this match could be done early, Jesus is covering Satan…
Ted-Ooooooooooooooooooooh! The Antichrist jumps in and kicks Jesus before the referee gets the three count.
Bob-Now GOD is in there hitting the Antichrist with left and right hands to the head and now a knee to the groin…
Ted-That’s gotta hurt…
Bob-Jesus looks like he’s in trouble, Satan has him against the ropes…wait… here comes God…
Ted-This is what the crowd wanted all along
Bob-God has grabbed Satan by the throat and has picked him up from the floor, what power, what strength! God slams Satan into the mat so hard pieces have started falling from the ceiling…
Ted-A few fans have panicked and started running for the door but most are glued to the spectacle before them…
Bob-Satan is trying to use a submission hold on God but God has his hand raised in the air…
Ted-Jesus comes off the top rope and double axehandles Satan…
Bob-Holy shit Ted, there’s a group of demons coming don the ramp, this looks bad for God’s team…
Ted-Listen to the trumpets Bob, it looks like the demons will be met by the Archangels Gabriel and Michael, the tag team champions…
Bob-This crowd is going wild!
