My apologies for this analogy to the non-Christian and the atheist readers. I'm only pointing out what I've noticed, not what I believe.

--the appearences of both Christ and Sisco were
predicted in sacred texts

--a miraculous and divine conception

--performing of miracles: finding B'Hala and
preventing the Dominion fleet from coming
through the wormhole (in episode called
"Sacrifice of Angels" oddly enough)

--both had to come to terms with their
"role": Christ had a desert experience
while Sisco had to meet someone else who
claimed to be the Emmisary

--Sisco was a kind of "saviour" to Bajor, with divine ties as well.

--both died, descended into a kind of hell, went
to a kind of heaven, and promised to return.

Now I'm not sure if the writers consciously drew upon Chirstian tradition or not, but even though we could develop some arguments against this analogy, there's quite a lot of support for it.

Kevin S,

I'd just like to point out that if you're referring to the alleged prophecy in Isaiah, it doesn't actually predict Jesus.

There were many texts that predicted in the Old Testament
about Jesus.

Let's take this to Religious Musings. It really doesn't belong under DS9. Incidentally, the original hebrew text of Isaiah is the word "almah", which means "Young woman", not "virgin".

It's SISKO!

I think maybe someone thought this was a discussion about the company that makes computer network routers...
