Sullivan’s reference is the Testament of the New Ezekiel cult from the Outlast Game series Outlast 2 is a first-person psychological horror survival video game developed and published by Red Barrels. It's the sequel to the 2013 video game Outlast, and features a journalist named Blake Langermann, along with his wife Lynn, roaming the Arizona desert to explore the murder of a pregnant woman only known as Jane Doe. Both get separated in a helicopter crash, and Blake has to find his wife while traveling through a village inhabited by a deranged sect that believes the end of days is upon them. Testament of the New Ezekiel is an antagonistic cult led by Sullivan Knoth. The group resides in a remote settlement known as Temple Gate. The cult's insignia is a cross with two interlocking wheels in reference to the prophet Ezekiel's vision. Their goal is to prevent the Antichrist. In reality, it is likely that they do not have any divine visions, but have been driven insane by a malfunctioning experiment created by the Murkoff Corporation. The sect has two splinter groups that accompany it throughout the outskirts of Temple Gate; The Heretics, a separate cult who believe the Anti-Christ should be born, and the Scalled, former members of the Testament devolved into freakish monstrosities via severe diseases and exiled out into the nearby forests. The followers of the Testament of the New Ezekiel are maniacally devoted and loyal to Sullivan Knoth and the word of the so-called God he speaks of. Most of them are completely insane and cannot tell the difference between reality and fantasy anymore, a result of the microwave radio towers placed around the area by the Murkoff Corporation. They have completely cut themselves off from society at large, although some members still go to the "damned world" to buy medicine, gasoline, batteries, and other necessities. Temple Gate's inhabitants follow the "Testament of the New Ezekiel", a religious text written by Knoth that calls him God's prophet and is also heavy with sexual imagery, in addition to religious imagery.
