Together, these three people resemble the Triune Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
(An interesting contrast to the previous illustration)
This statement also quotes verse 1 of the first chapter of john's gospel in the New Testament: "in the begining was the world, and the word was with god, and the word was god",
(Egged Adam)
Adam & Lilith:
As the original couple, don't ask the blogger why not Eve, Adam and Lilith in Eva are the highest forms of male and female in the world, born from the tree of life. 4.6 billion years ago, Adam's body existed in the orthorphical hollow under the Antarctica, called the "White Moon", the apostle was born, the glowing giants of Antarctica and the oval creatures brought back by Bless Liangzhi were all in the form of Adam, and Adam, who was discovered in Antarctica in 2000, had Longinus's gun in his chest, and after pulling it out, Adam woke up and stormed away, causing a second shock.
(Survey report of the Antarctic Illuminated Giant)
4 billion years ago, Lilith hit the earth with a meteorite, and this is Lilith's egg, called the "Black Moon", and human beings have been born since then. Nerv's headquarters was built on top of the Black Moon Crater. Lilith is a half-cut white giant in the lowest central dogmatic area of the ministry, crucified, and when Lilith awakens, it will cause a third shock, and all life will return to the Black Moon in its entirety.

Adam was the first person Jehovah created in his own image, Lilith was Adam's first wife, both of whom were made of clay, and later Eve was a person created from Adam's ribs, Lilith, as the first feminist, quarreled with Adam over position and finally left the Garden of Eden, giving Eve the opportunity to appear.
(Doll weapon evangelion)
evangelion:
The evangelion is a humanoid weapon used to fight the apostles that appears in the play. The official name is the universal humanoid decisive weapon man evangelion. The word evangelion comes from the Greek word euangelion, which is why the play is translated as Evangelion. Unlike other common mech warrior images, the shell of the mech is not made of machinery, the concept of the design is "bound by the huge force", and the related line "restrainter release" is a very exciting line, because it is the concept of "biochemical robot", so eva will also have a rampage state, because eva is essentially an artificial human copied by Adam or Lilith, which leads to the second concept.
(Under the mecha restraint is an artificial person who can run wild)
Since we talk about artificial people, we have to mention the first concept similar to artificial people, that is, the afternoon created by Adam's ribs, the abbreviated eva is Eve in German, eve in English is written eve, and there are many nouns in the play that use German, which will be listed later.
(Do you remember which apostle it was?) ）
Apostles (Shito):
The apostle in Eva is the enemy of mankind, and man himself is the 18th apostle, that is, Lilin, the 1st Apostle is Adam, the 2nd Apostle is Lilith, and the 17th Apostle is Nagisa Kaoru, there are 18 apostles in the tv version, and in the theatrical version, it is simplified to 13. The apostle who confronts EVA in the middle is not pressed for the time being, and in the theatrical version of "q", the disc-shaped suspected artificial apostle is called Nemesis by the people who wille, and the name Nemesis comes from the Greek goddess of vengeance in the sublimation, who will inflict divine punishment on arrogant people before the throne.
(Famous Apostle Nagisa Kaoru)
The apostles in Christianity generally refer to the 12 individuals who jesus Christ gave a missionary mission, also called disciples, derived from the Greek apostolos, originally meant to be sent, and these twelve people included Judas, who was supplemented by Matthias after judas committed suicide.
(The weapon on the left is Longinus's gun))
Spear of longinus:
The Gun of Longinus is a high-level weapon evolved from the rest of the Tree of Life in "Eva", it is a "Gun of the God" that can kill the apostles through the at force field, the theatrical version has a mass-produced version that cannot be used for human completion of the plan ceremony, the image of Asuka and eva II holding the Gun of Longinus is very classic and derives a large number of hand-made, in the TV version, Ayapolis once used the Gun of Longinus to penetrate the at force field of the bird angel, freeing Asuka from the spiritual attack of the bird angel. The first machine was eventually pierced by Longinus's gun and transformed into the Tree of Life.
(Asuka hand with Longinus's gun)
The spear of Longinus in religion is the spear that pierces Jesus Christ, jesus was stabbed in the flank of the abdomen by the Centurion of Rome after being crucified, longinus, this centurion is called Longinus, so this spear is called the gun of Longinus, it is said that Jesus' blood splashed into Longinus's eyes, Longinus's blind eyes were able to see the light of day, so he was moved and abandoned his past identity to become a monk, and later posthumously became a saint and became "Saint Longinus".
(Gun of Longinus in the movie Konstantin starring Keanu Reeves)
It is said that you can dominate the world with this gun, and if you lose it, you will be killed immediately, but this gun of destiny has a very wide range of applications in daily life, and can be used to eat snacks or cakes after shortening.
(Mooncake Fork - Gun of Longinus)
Spear of Cassius
This is another allusion, and has little to do with religion, because the mention of the weapon Longinus's gun, let's take it with a belt to illustrate: it happened before the martyrdom of Jesus, the murder of Caesar the Great's mastermind, Senator Cassius, his full name is Gaius Cassius Longinus (gaius cassius longinus), so it can be seen that the name Longinus is really not covered, but the assassin led by Brutus killed Caesar with a dagger, and there was no dagger of Longinus.
(Death of Caesar)
However, in the theatrical version of "Broken", there is cassius's gun, of course, the source is the above-mentioned Cassius murder of Caesar, in the play, Makoto awakens the first machine in order to save Ayapolis, Nagisa pilots the sixth machine to use Cassius's gun to pierce the awakening machine, seal the first machine, and terminate the third impact.
(The first machine armed with Cassius's gun)
In the wiki entry, alongside the two guns of Longinus and Cassius, there is also a special weapon called the Gun of Gaius (ガイウスの槍), gaius is a first name, which can be the first name of Cassius or the first name of Gaius julius caesar, that is, Gaius Julius Caesar, whether there are surprises or surprises. But a careful friend should have already discovered that the names of the three guns together are gaius cassius longinus. I have to say that I don't know the provenance of this Gaius handle gun in the EVA work, welcome to learn more about the friends to add.
(Silver coins issued under the leadership of Cassius and Langturus)
