Yes. Evangelion is a bunch of Christian mythos metaphors, the 2nd Impact is analogous to the Rapture, the 3rd is when the Kingdom of Heaven descends on the survivors or whatever.

Aka, kills everyone's physical forms and all our consciousnesses get merged into the Great Jungian Subconscious in the Sky, referenced in the series as the human instrumentality.

Which is the actual Abrahamic tradition of heaven, btw, returning to Oneness with God, not sitting on clouds watching your grandkids jerk it.

Evangelion is a great show, and every nerd should watch it at least once, if only so we can share the experience of saying "wtf was that" and researching the ending on the Internet.
