In Season 4 Episode 13 "Ghost Plane", there is a direct reference to the Book of Revelation chapter 11 regarding the "Two Witnesses": | |||
{{Bible quote|ref=Rev 11:3-14|inline=false}} | |||
Cal has a vision of two olive trees on Flight 828, one in the cockpit where Captain Daly was sitting, and one at seat 23B of a passenger whose name is Fiona. Both Captain Daly and Fiona have returned once again, and are identified by Olive as the "Two Witnesses" of Revelation chapter 11 which also calls them the "two olive trees". Since in the book of Revelation, the two witnesses die before the end times, Angelina believes that she’s the chosen one to bring this about and kill the two witnesses to end the world. In fact, Angelina gains control of Eden to get her to remove the splinter that allows Fiona to continue breathing, resulting in Fiona's death: Angelina then crosses out one of the two witnesses from the Bible she is holding. | |||
In Season 4 Episode 12 "Bug Out", Captain Bill Daly (Frank Deal) had opened his mouth to release a swarm of Rocky Mountain Locusts, which had been extinct since 1902. This is on one hand somewhat of a reference to Stephen King's 1996 novel [[wiki:The Green Mile (novel)|The Green Mile]], in which John Coffey opens his mouth to release a swarm of flies every time he accomplishes a healing. But mainly it is a reference to the eighth plague of Egypt: | |||
{{Bible quote|ref=Ex 10:1–20|inline=false}} | |||
In fact, in Season 4 Episode 13 "Ghost Plane" an outbreak of boils seems to also originate from Captain Daly, a reference to the sixth plague of Egypt: | |||
{{Bible quote|ref= Ex 9:8-12|inline=false}} | |||
In Season 4 Episode 14 "Fata Morgana", the liquid in Captain Daly's intravenous bag turns to blood, and soon after all liquids in the Detention Center turn to blood, a reference to the first plague of Egypt: | |||
{{Bible quote|ref=Ex 7:14–24|inline=false}} | |||
