The Lost Supper

Those of you who read my blogs know that I am a Lost fanatic.  You also know that I don't just watch Lost for entertainment value, but also for cultural apologetical value.  Moments ago, I received this picture via email from one of my good friends.  Being the "Da Vinci Code" fanatic that I am (not supportive, only "researchive"), even this left me a little speechless.  I will quote what my friend said in the email, "I wonder what this is supposed to mean..."

Of course my friend was being rhetorical in this question because the meaning is pretty blatant.  This picture has confirmed what my speculations have been all along--Lost has an agenda against God, and it is not good.  In fact, it is pretty down right bad.

Without getting too deep into the details, and since I already wrote my daily blog, I will only say this about the picture illustrated above: This is an obvious portrayal of Leonardo Da Vinci's The Last Supper.  John Locke is, without question, a symbol of the Antichrist or Satan.  He has been deemed "evil incarnate" by the islanders.  In this picture, Locke sits in the seat where Jesus Christ sits in the original painting.  This can possibly mean something very interesting; Locke is an Antichrist savior.  Only time will tell how all of this plays out.

As I have written before, so shall I write again: The writers of Lost seem to believe in God, they just don't like Him very much.  This seems to be the cry of the current world.

"And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper...; they are...haters of God" (Romans 1:28,29b,30a)

  1. Jared,

    I love watching "Lost" too! I'm not disagreeing with your analysis per se, but I think that probably we don't have the whole story yet. Just because the Others said that the man in black is evil, we can't really know for certain because we don't really know who they are either. We see the actions without the real context.

    If the producers intended that photo to be distributed publicly, you can be sure that there is more to it than meets the eye. Regardless, whether the message of the photo is for good or ill, it is in poor taste.

  2. I completely agree with you. I could "eat crow" later, so to speak. My conclusions to Locke's evilness is due to two things: First, he is blatantly called "evil incarnate" and second, the things he does are evil, such as killing people, and enticing others to do the same.

    There is no doubt that the season will end with a twist, we are just unsure as to what that twist will be. In the meantime, it is fun to speculate!
