Revelation and The Last Battle

[yoshi71089]

Ok, so I reread The Last Battle and it has made a whole lot more sense to me now. In Revelation in the Bible, the antichrist rises up, pretending to be the messiah and confuses/misleads millions of people. In LB, Shift dresses up Puzzle, pretending to be Aslan, and tricking the Narnians into believing their hero or "messiah" if you will, had come back. Plus the fact that in both Revelation and LB God/Aslan destroys Earth/Narnia.

The only part I don't like is the whole "good people belong to Aslan, bad people belong to Tash"...namely when Aslan says, and I quote, "all the service thou hast done to Tash, I account as service done to me." I don't think I quite understand how this matches up with Christian theology. Can anyone please help me out with this?

But, even if I don't understand this, a lot of what Lewis wrote is just too amazingly close to the Bible to be taken any other way.

Yoshi, there are some older threads that talk about this. If I can find them, I will post the link in here. Here is one Thread:

For now, let me say that Lewis seemed to believe there was a way for non-believers in Christ to come to Christ, perhaps after death.

This issue raises the question of Christianity in relation to other world religions. Lewis said: "I couldn’t believe that 999 religions were completely false and the remaining one true." Similarly he stated: "We are not pronouncing all other religions to be totally false, but rather saying that in Christ whatever is true in all religions is consummated and perfected." Kathryn Lindskoog wrote: "Lewis expressed hope that many true seekers like Akhenaton and Plato, who never had a chance to find Christ in this life, will find Him in the next one."
I don't know if this is correct, but it seems to be Lewis' thinking, that maybe Christ makes a way for those who would have served Him, had they known Him, to come to Him even after death. This is not, I would say, a biblical concept and perhaps just Lewis' wishful thinking?

Can anyone please help me out with this? well he ment that all the good stuff he did Aslan counted it as if it was dine for him and not Tash. And the Good people/ bad people thing is that all the wicked and cold hearted who did not know Jesus/Aslan pretty much went to hell while the ones who knew Him went to Heaven. does that clear anything up for you?
