QuoteMJ may not be the Messiah but he could be a chosen one of sorts. Like Ron Wyatt maybe. How would he have been able to find the physical evidence of Biblical stories if he had not been chosen? I think there could be some people in the world who have roles they are/were destined to fulfill.
Initially, I thought Ron Wyatt was just a quack/fraudster. And the way he described his arm jerking out from his side pointing to where the Ark was located made me just laugh. The blood with half the chromosomes was just plain silly—like who could make this stuff up. And then TS comes along and says it's supposed to be true. Talk about my eyeballs going boing out of my head! So as I read and examined everything, I started thinking maybe it could have happened. So if RW's story is true, then that most certainly is a miraculous sign. Is it from Satan, and he's only discovered a fake Ark for deceiving the nations, OR is it from God the Creator. Most Christians aren't expecting the Ark to have any play in end-times.
I think that MJ is going to have to ultimately provide some clearly supernatural elements to provide the convincing signs that he is called from God, and it can't just be clever technology, genius human creativity, or demonic signs and wonders. Was the announcement of the revealing of the Ark of the Covenant by the Ethiopian priest, and MJ's hoax death on the same day, a coincidence, a planned aspect by MJ, or possibly a sign from God. IDK We'll have to wait and see if supernatural events are forth-coming.

QuoteI concede the possibility that in 200 years, people just might be worshiping MJ as the new age deity and JC will be the stuff of old legend like Moses.
Yes, I could too. The new Following would join the thousands of other world religions/cults/beliefs whatever you want to call them.
I find it interesting that there could/would be so many reactions to MJ having a Special calling:
Athiests don't believe there's a divine being in charge, or guiding history, or that the Bible is God's message to mankind. They think the future could go in any direction, and that mankind can evolve to create a better world for themselves. Correct me if that's inaccurate. So if MJ claims to be the Messiah, to them it really is either a joke or a human arising to help the planet. No real problem to them if he claims to be another Jesus type.
Muslims expect the Madhi or a Muslim Messiah, which is a different coming anointed One. Christians would say theirs is a false one, and Muslims would say the Christian type is false, and round it goes. So for Muslim, they would strongly reject MJ as Messiah because MJ apparently did not convert to Islam, and certainly MJ, Front and TS seem to only quote from the Bible.
Hindus, Buddhists, and misc. faiths would likely reject MJ as their own chosen One, if he is not teaching their group's doctrine. Just guessing.
General Theists those who believe in a Creator but reject any of the main religions as being the only way, would likely have little or no problem with MJ claiming special status, and would just wait and see.
Some MJ fans are so in love with him, that for them he is Everything, no matter what anyone says to the contrary. He is their 'Messiah' already.
Orthodox devout Christians are the group that would have the most difficulty with MJ as a Messiah, because they feel they already have one, who doesn't seem to look anything like MJ. Their Jesus is not replaceable; the position is not open for applicants. They would probably get quite angry about it even, the ones I know and my family. The Bible (Jesus) teaches that there will be many claiming to be the Christ in End times, in addition to the ultra bad claim of the Anti-Christ himself. Over the 2 thousand years since Jesus, there have probably been thousands of people who have claimed some kind of special status, like prophet, seer, messiah, or whatever. They have ALL eventually died and most are forgotten. MJ's not getting any younger himself. I don't think any of these wannabe prophets/messiahs can hold a candle to the worldwide status and clout MJ has though.
In addition, most Christians probably reject Ron Wyatt's claims as well IDK.
So it's all going to boil down to what MJ has planned to do in the future, such as this BAM, and what it all involves. The Sign links the Ark to End Times, and subtley to MJ, and I feel Front/TS/Back link BAM to End Times or EOW. It all seems inter-related in this hoax, at least that's how I read it. It's going to be interesting the next months/years. Absolutely ANYTHING can happen, and I will for sure Keep Watching! I believe in the Bible and I don't in a way; I'm open to possibilities. Mostly I listen to what my heart tells me as I read, observe, experience. What if EVERYTHING we've been taught in history is a lie, and we humans have been toyed with. I'm literally choosing to trust MJ in this, because I don't have confidence in any other current 'end time' options. But that's just me. Should I find out in the end that MJ was just putting on a fabulous show, The Greatest Show on Earth, then I will enjoy it, do my happy dancing, and then move on from there with my life...ease on down the road. Know what I mean? :D I won't have lost anything!! :Michael_Jackson_dancing_smile
Gina, the kitty in that picture is very wise! :icon_lol:
