the NachtKabarett
And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and a girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire.Revelation 1:13-14
Manson with eyes aflame, the crucified Mechanical ChristI turned to see the voice that spake with me... and his eyes were as a flame of fireRevelation 1:12,14
In the Book of Revelation, the second coming of Christ is described mentioning Jesus as wearing a single white outfit which Manson dons in the video, (notably Manson's outfit is one piece, and not two-piece, and fits with this theory); wearing a golden girdle, Manson is wearing a golden pelvic girdle, which oddly enough, also resembles a facet of the Tree of Life, the first chakra which is sprouted from the loins; having hair as white as a lamb (which Manson does); and eyes of flame which for the entire Mechanical Animals era Manson adopts red lenses for this parallel to Christ and is the only time this deviation of his eye color was utilized.
This is not a coincidence. There is also a photo included that shows "END" on a road sign which acts as a reference to the alpha & the omega, the beginning and the end, as detailed in Revelation as well. The opening vignette of the video depicts a set up of the three wise men at the manger of Christ's birth, as awaiting the Inauguration of the Mechanical Christ; with the album itself acting as a counterpart to Antichrist Svperstar's parallelism with Lucifer, Mechanical Animals parallels Manson to Christ.
Note to the uninitiated; the 'Inauguration of the Mechanical Christ' was the opening introduction to the Mechanical Animals tour
