I have read a few Amon comparison theories and after seeing episode 3 I thought I would take a crack at it.

I think Amon could be likened unto the AntiChrist.

No I am not trying to impress my religion on anyone I am just making a comparison. For instance the title "The Revelation" is an interesting choice. Amon is called a "saviour" of course these things could just be coincidence. Then I read a bit of scripture from Daniel 8: 23-25 which says this

23: And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences shall rise up

24: And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and holy people.

25: And through his policy also he shall cause craft (fraud, deceit, treachery) to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

For those of you who are like huh? Allow me to explain in verse 23 it's basically saying that he will rise to power when mankind is at its worst. Well thanks to the Triads and corruption Amon has a good chance to rise to power. In verse 24 Satan gives the Antichrist his power. In Amon's speech he says that the spirits gave him the ability to take someones bending away which he will use to destroy the benders. In verse 25 it is saying in the first part that basically he will trick people by doing it in seemingly peaceful ways sort of like how Amon is by only taking a bender's bending away and not killing them. The second part of the verse is saying that the AntiChrist cannot be destroyed by man only by the hand of Christ. Amon cannot be taken down by physical means it seems. Korra will have to connect to her spiritual side to take Amon down.

Anyway that is my little comparison. Perhaps it is not the best. Pehaps I am just crazy but it is something that I thought would be worth mentioning.
