Levi

I thought about something with Levi from the bible and Levi from attack on titan (anime). I thought of it when I was looking up Levi Ackerman quotes for my signature, and found something calling Levi the "hope of humanity". Levi in the anime is the second-highest person in the Survey Corps (one of three branches under government control), and probably one of the longest survivors fighting titans (humanoids a few meters to 50+ meters tall in ranges of intelligence, special features, and behaviour patterns that basically eat humans for sport). It has been mentioned that he was a thief in the capital before the highest commander (Erwin) got him it seems out of trouble (not sure what sentence he would have had) and into the survey corps. Levi cleaned up and became very dependable, and a great titan fighter with his signature style of fighting. But the hope of humanity (caged within three, two after Wall Maria is attacked, tall walls in circles), Levi himself cannot defeat all of the titans and save humanity from their (pitiful) existence in fear of the monsters.

(Bible) Levi's descendants who were chosen as the first-borns and priests, the Levites who offered sacrifices offered animals, but; “And every priest stands daily at his service, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.” (‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭10:11‬ ‭ESV‬‬) The Levites had to offer many sacrifices and their work was never complete because the sacrifices couldn't take away sin like Christ does.

Levitical sacrifices and Levi Ackerman could temporarily bring peace or restoration. Levites had to keep offering sacrifices year after year and Levi has to fight every time he goes outside of humanity's walls (or inside when the titans got in). So the Levites, I guess part of humanity's hope under the OT Law, were the best they had to cover sins but not a permanent solution; not the ultimate solution just a foreshadow. This might seem like nonsense to some people but I hope it is correct. I do not wish to be judged as a teacher, this is just something I thought of and did not want to forget.

For reference:

He's a bit of a clean freak:

He also literally beat Eren in court:

I can't remember exactly why he did that, I think it was part of a tactic to get Eren in the Scout Regiment/Survey Corps 's control away from the Military Police and jail/death sentence.
