Well the testimony of those that foresaw the messaih, how did they arrive by them? Did they all sit down and decide that this should be the case? They didn't say God told them, so they must have deducted that that would be the case, so they drew up a few requirements for the man. Without special abilities, how would he make people listen? He must be well educated, and pure of heart, but if He was pure of heart, would He not join the missionary and work with people that needed Him? To get anywhere in politics you need to be corrupt, moving people through scripture is easy, but getting them to vote for you is quite another. He would quickly be assisnated by those hanging onto their corruption, so wouldn't get anywhere impressionable if He was pure of heart.

Maybe He is not pure of heart. Let's say He thinks that unifying the world was for His own gain, then would He be the son of man? Bringing peace to the world is too much for a world that blames all it's problems on someone else, and seeing as how countries wil always be wanting more than they can provide for themselves, they will look to war to get it. Think about it, say a state runs out of things, will it just sit there or invade another for material gain? In poorly managed states they are running out of credit with the world bank, so will use what little is left to invade another country and steal as much as they can, while many untapped resources are in their very own country, but will not let anyone in to get them because they are theirs, and don't have any credit left to loan some money and use them, so war is imminent, huge wars, especially in Africa. If anything I can't see there being peace for too long, and then someone will unite the poverty stricken world? Poverty in rural areas is acceptable, but not for urbanised people, they will turn on each other refusing to go back to rural areas and live without all the comforts of the city.

Changing people, now how will he do that? To have peace and erect a new church you need to be able to change people's perspective to one that sees all others as equals. How will this happen, with a winning smile? He will have to be able to understand all people and change their habits, but they won't change for the sake of one person's gratitude, they will need something in it for them, then they will tolerate each other for a while, until tolerance runs out due to their own leaders greed influencing their opinions. How will He handle that, the politics? Politics is founded on trade, trade between people and state, and trade between states, otherwise there is no need for politics. Owrds of wisdom are often ignored, especially today.

He would need to be inspired by God to do such things, and need a good education, be multi cultured, and be able to avoid the assasins bullets or become corrupted also. With global warming, we only have a few decades until things warm up too much to live here, so the clock is ticking.


Poison for the system!
