Master Chief, Spartan-117, "John".
Book of John: 1:7
"He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe."
Revelation: 1:17-18
Below is likely a reference to the lifepod scene in the pillar of autumn level in Halo1:
"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."
Something noteworthy below:
John 1:17
"For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ."
Therefore Master Chief must be Jesus Christ!
Quote:
More evidence of this occurs at the end of Halo 3. When Master Chief is listed MIA, he disappears from humanity, much like how Jesus died on the cross. The line "Wake me when you need me." is also another reference to Jesus in that he will return someday, most likely when humanity is suffering again. After Chief had separated, during the ending video on legendary, Chief and Cortana say to each other "It's finished" which seems to refer to John 19:30
"30 When Jesus therefore had received the wine, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost (or Holy Spirit)."
His cryotube may be compared to the tomb in which Christ was buried.
