It does match remarkably well though:
Crono receives gifts from 3 wise men from a kingdom with strong Persian influences on its design named Melchior, Belthasar, and Gaspar.
Crono sacrifices himself and is brought back to life.
Crono casts Luminaire, which is basically Holy, but more awesome. He also casts Life.
Crono does not have a father on earth.
Crono changes the destiny of mankind.
Crono has no character flaws.
Lavos controls human evolution and advancement.
Lavos is the enemy of mankind.
Lavos gets Zeal to falsely worship him.
etc
The biggest difference here is that the Entity/Crono are not omnipotent. Indeed they're evenly matched with Lavos.
