Personally, I think the idea of The Emperor is based on the theology of the anti-christ- Someone who isn't Jesus who unites humanity, rules over it, displays wondrous signs. As 40k is set in our universe, it COULD actually be true to theology, with the antichrist (Emperor) nearing the end of his reign (golden throne failing) and a new age of humanity dawning or its end (second coming of Christ).

I mean, it would be REALLY cool if Jesus came back and kicked the asses of everything in the 40k universe.
