Re: threshing floor

In Response To: threshing floor (Wado SG)

: Hmm... the word Halo has origins from Greek. One translation is
: "threshing floor."

: Could Cortana's translation of what the Covenant call the ringworld,
: "Halo", really be a translation of "threshing floor"?
: Threshing floor can be translated many ways, such as a place of worship or
: spiritual communion with God. One further translation interests me in
: terms of Halo, threshing floor was where grain was separated. Could Halo
: be part of the "threshing floor" where the "wheat" is
: separated from the "chaff" in our galaxy?

: Any thoughts?

It makes sense to me. The Covenant obviously view Halo as a holy place, being a Forerunner facility. Now, I'm just gonna run out some ideas here... just freeflow thinking... But what if the Flood are being used as the means of seperating the wheat from the chaff? I'm just imagining it as more of a 'test', so whomever encounters the Flood and LOSES is the chaff, and those who encounter and WIN (Master Chief) are the Wheat. Now, further speculation, but suppose becoming the wheat (beating the flood) proves one's worth to 'god' (Forerunner) and they (Forerunner) might then communicate with the 'wheat' that has 'won' on their holy facility.
Just some ideas... Yes/No/Maybe So?
