Giant Animals of Destruction – For the exclusive use of Satan and Saturday morning cartoons

Voltron: Defender of the Universe

Voltron: seen here in both
assembled and disassembled forms



Voltron is the name of a giant fighting robot that protects the galaxy from the forces of evil. Voltron is made up of five giant robot lions/spaceships that are piloted by the Voltron Force. When there is a challenge to galactic safety so great that the five giant robot lions and their pilots can’t solve, they combine into the fighting robot Voltron who always saves the day. Voltron was the subject of an animated TV series that ran in syndication from September 1984 to November 1985.

Remember: giant animal robots fight the forces of evil.

The Revelation of St. John the Divine is located at the end of the New Testament because it deals with vague promises of future events: mostly images of death of destruction prior to the return of the Messiah and the end of the world. Prior to “the end,” in Revelation chapters 12 and 13 John recounts his visions of giant animals.

The Heros of Voltron Force



First John saw a great Dragon fighting against God and His angels in heaven, but the dragon was too weak by itself and was cast down to earth. I can only assume the dragon was fighting to keep God from destroying the Earth and killing its inhabitants. Too bad he hadn’t been watching Voltron: Defender of the Universe because then the poor giant animal would have known that a solo pilot with a giant robot animal can never win alone.

Fortunately, new giant animals arrived on the scene to help. St. John saw them in his vision. He said, “I was standing on the beach when I saw a new giant animal come up out of the sea. It had seven heads and ten horns. It looked like a leopard with bear feet and a lion’s mouth. I saw it converse with the dragon and it was obvious they were friends. Then the leopard-like beast opened its mouth and started saying mean things about God. It said God was going to destroy the Earth and that we all needed to work together to save the planet from God.”

Then St. John saw the third and final Beast: “I saw another beast come up out of the ground. It was super cool and could breathe fire and stuff. It used its powers like the leopard beast to convince people to fight against God.”

The three giant beasts combined together to form the Master of Sky, Earth, and Water (MSEW). For a while it looked like the Earth would be saved but, because this is real life and not some cheesy cartoon MSEW was only able to stave off the destruction of God for 42 months before it lost all its power and was killed.

Moral: It’s nice to want to save people from God, but it just doesn’t work out.
