05x18 “Point of No Return” // 09x16 “Blade Runners” 09x21 “King of the Damned” // 09x23 “Do You Believe in Miracles” 11x14 “The Vessel” // 11x15 “Beyond the Mat”  On the “Hand of God” and the “Righteous Man” sweeneyfan2007 said: Hey! I've seen you mention how you believe that the way to defeat Amara might involve some use of the First Blade. As the show has been emphasizing artifacts that were touched by God, I was wondering your thoughts on the Blade possibly being one of those artifacts, or related to them in some way?

“The righteous man who begins it, is the only one who can end it”, Cas told a more dead than alive Dean Winchester in 4x16 “On the Head of A Pin”. Not only resembles Dean’s current mindset a lot that of the apocalypse days in terms of hopelessness, depression and feelings of weakness, it has also been subtly hinted at Dean’s special status as a vessel more than once over the course of the past few seasons. Be it in text or via visuals such as halos, wings, crosses or even crowns of thorns. All of them combined can be read as links and nods to Dean’s divinity as well as allusions to Dean as a Christ figure.

It ain’t a secret that I am slightly obsessed with this topic, but 11x15 “Beyond the Mat” sort of gave more fuel to the fire that is me thinking the First Blade would be making a comeback.

After we saw that the “Hand of God” seems to be a “one hitter” two times - and one time to me very suggestively keeping Dean from touching it as the first person and also being shown to be like when killing Abaddon as well as Zachariah to keep his eyes wide open - I am convinced that this is solely due to the fact that it was in the very sense of the term in the “wrong hands”. Meaning Dean, as the “Righteous Man”, may be able to use it more than once and in that regard I have to think of the First Blade, because I am pretty certain it will make a comeback and possibly also be revealed as a “Hand of God” as the visuals are very similar.

I would find this to be a neat way to bring the story full circle. The blade that we know from Cain “cannot be destroyed”. Metatron’s words in 9x23 “Do You Believe in Miracles” feel especially important right now as he taunted Dean before killing him with saying “Next time try to be powered by the word of God” and well… Given how Sam’s veins glowed when he underwent the trials (maybe Dean needs this divine cleanse now)

and how it looked when Delphine and Crowley touched the Hand(s) of God or how Dean’s veins glowed when the Blade connected with the mark, then I think Dean may “next time” be powered by the word and hand of God.

Back then Dean faced off against Metatron, supposed new God, Amara seems to be the new runner up, so.... History repeating? But instead of Deand dying to become a demon, he finally becomes whole?

I noticed that baby Amara was associated with religion quite frequently. Mike gave her to Jenna because she went to church, and Jenna mentioned that her grandmother teaches Bible study. One post mentioned that the Rabid attacking Mike & Amara had a cross pointing to the door. And in the O'Death preview, Cas was under a cross, in the same episode as the woman who looked to be a younger version of Emily Swallow's character. Do you think this could have any indication of the Darkness's motives?

Hello sweetheart!

True, the bible references were certainly strong this very first episode. To me it seems that it contributed of the feeling of Amara being a sort of new Messiah being born in a re-writing of the grand story. @larinah mentioned something in an additional comment to this meta here, which I agree with a 100 percent, because I had very similar thoughts.  Basically it comes down to the events of the first episode of S11 being the SPN version of the christmas story only with opposites.

And the crosses for example aside from halos and wings are definitely all very consciously inserted items to allude to divinity. And for all we know, Amara certainly possesses God like powers or even stronger ones.

To me at the moment the extreme use of the cross is not only to remind of christ, but also of God. And this definitely carries on strongly in this weeks episode in which we see Sam pray to God in the chapel that the arrow pointed towards when the rabid was banging at the door where Amara and Mike hid.

If we continue with the parallel of Amara being the human embodiment of the Darkness to walk the face of the Earth as Jesus was for God then I guess we could ask ourselves if the baby may gather a following (not nescessarily the rabids but another one) and if it may start teaching its own gospel. Which would fit in so far as we know that the grand story has been built on a lie since as Death said “creatio ex nihilo” basically just as genesis is a lie.

So to me it would make sense if the “dark messiah” taught the grand story as it really was and in the end confronted God with it.  After all “You can’t ourtun your past” may just as much relate to God as it relates to the Winchesters. Plus, I can’t shake the feeling that in the end the Darkness/Amara and whatever else may have escaped with it will ultimately go after God.
