And here's where it got fun. If the messiah were to return today, the CIA would be spying on him with the FBI. And if, let's just say, the Antichrist were President of the United States--
'No,' he said. 'I meant about the internet, your investigation.' 'I don't have an investigation.' 'Of course you do. You're the internet messiah , remember?' I hadn't heard that phrase in a couple of months, and it embarrassed me to remember I'd written that about myself. It was more cringeworthy than a 3/4 turn selfie shot from above.
Will we not go bankrupt? Some sort of a messiah , a politician who is as you describe, honest and sincere.
Will we not go bankrupt? a political messiah , didn't play that role intentionally .
So, I have to tell them, "It's not Jesus Christ born to Joseph and Mary Christ." It's an identifying--. Christ means "Messiah ." It's as saying Jesus is the Messiah . So anyway, so my students don't know basic information about the Bible, even though they believe it, let alone scholarship about the Bible.
We are always looking for strong man who will be messiahs . And the problem with messiahs is that those who succeed them always want to undo what they have done, because the legitimacy of the new guy will not be achieved if that other person's legacy holds.
It's just magic. Thank you. Bill Murray could be the messiah .
He shook his head. 'If you're going to be the Messiah , Gladstone, you need to think more than no moves ahead. This is chess, not ants in the pants.
And then lastly, I want to share a new project that I'm working on that looks at this idea of basically an incubator for the next messiah , and really explores how our spiritual and prophetic traditions are being shaped by the digital age. So let's get started.
and don't tell lies, especially on oath, then this will be a better place to live in than if you go about doing those things. and on Earth in the Messiah , in Jesus the Messiah .
Nobody mentioned it. We didn't play it. I'd never played the Messiah before. I didn't know it.
Will we not go bankrupt? He was not a political messiah .
and don't tell lies, especially on oath, then this will be a better place to live in than if you go about doing those things. And ultimately, the messiah and his people-- that image picks up from the Old Testament image of God and Israel, with Israel as God's bride or God's wife.
I forgot how to-- now, you can do it without any shame. You know, "The Messiah of Math." One I liked in particular, was "The Math of Khan," which I thought was
Who could be more Zen than Superman who knows right from wrong and just doesn't even have to think about any of this? Atheists and agnostics see Superman as a secular messiah . Who needs religion? Superman knows right from wrong and it's not about religion.
Somebody behind you. Hi. Comment, I think this Jesus may not have considered himself as God but I think he -- at least there are a lot of indications that he clearly considered himself as the Messiah which is slightly different. Anyway, my question is entirely about something else which is the political traditions of religious people, of Christians in particular, seem to depend on which denominations they belong to. Like if you're Baptist or something, then you're conservative, or evangelical, you're conservative, or if you're
You know? What Africa needs-- strong institutions, not strong men. We are always looking for strong man who will be messiahs . And the problem with messiahs is that those who succeed them always want to undo what they have done, because the legitimacy of the new guy
And I think that, really, we need, in many cases, solicitor leaders, in some cases, some shepherds. Unfortunately, there is a tendency to have this Messiah desire. You know? We're looking for a messiah .
Unfortunately, there is a tendency to have this Messiah desire. You know? We're looking for a messiah . This man will come and save us.
So I suggest you need all the friends you can get at this point, friends you can trust. 'I've been warning this administration and anyone who will listen about this so-called messiah for months, and for good reason.
molested so this is my second reading is from that night on the road to Damascus a light from heaven blinded Saul of Taurus who has been attacking Jews who believed Jesus Christ was the Messiah he fell to the ground and heard God's voice asks Saul Saul why do you persecute me three days later disciple restored Saul site and baptized him from that moment
Well, OK, so what it's about-- so there's a mythology to "Kind Heaven." Let's all make believe we're living in the time of the second coming of the messiah . We're on the threshold, the messianic threshold, where the messiah returns in the flesh,
It's just magic. Thank you. That's OK. We won't even need a messiah to find God.
It was more cringeworthy than a 3/4 turn selfie shot from above. 'Holy shit'-- that's a tough one-- 'Holy shit, that Messiah shit's real?' Toby asked, returning with two PBRs. 'I thought Gladstone was just blowing himself again.' 'Yes, it's real,' Jeeves said.
OK. So what I meant to say is-- I guess it didn't really matter-- Jeeves is the one in Book One who makes a pronouncement that Gladstone-- who you wouldn't really think, because he's stumbling around New York drunk-- is the internet messiah , the one who's going to bring back the internet. And so as the book goes on, even though he came to LA-- sorry, just getting my notes on my phone because I want to impress you here at Google, no paper--
People start photocopying and sharing it and getting into his adventures. So almost like kind of ass backwards, he stumbles into kind of almost becoming this internet messiah , the guy who's going to find the internet. So they keep returning to the Hashtag.
They're just placing-- someone's phone rang. The movement's been growing up and people have been passing around paper memes with the Messiah movement's logo and spray painting it everywhere. So when Gladstone gets out of prison, he goes to Farmer's Market in LA, and he sees now signs of a successful movement,
were actually holding. And so how do we give ourselves not just permission, but also build accountability with peers to do some of that investigation? And this group next is putting on something that we're calling the Incubator for the Next Messiah , and this is basically "American Idol" for gurus.
In another case of Aceh in Indonesia, where the guerrilla forces have been fighting for 30 years, the GAM. In his book, Tony Blair says that I accused him of having a messiah complex, and that's why he managed to solve Northern Ireland.
And that's why Sai Baba always said that Jesus came with the Sacred Heart, he came with the love weapon 2,000 years ago, and healed the world, and so did all the messiahs . And so when he came and walked the earth, 90 years since this day, he too healed everybody's hearts
And she could listen and kind of feel that sense of rhythm in her arm. The second mode was DJ mode, where we took her favorite song, which is a super happy song about the Messiah , and we broke it into pieces. And basically, every time she would trigger the next part with her hand, she had to really listen.
Let's all make believe we're living in the time of the second coming of the messiah . We're on the threshold, the messianic threshold, where the messiah returns in the flesh, but the rise of the Antichrist and Armageddon, the final confrontation, whatever that is,
It's just magic. Thank you. I really am. So I started to study the topic, the subject of the messiah
And in the last song, they paint him as less of a victim and more as a kind of Messiah figure of some kind
But we felt like it was important not to make this into like a MLK, Rosa Parks situation, where there's one messiah figure.
one of the villagers turns to the rabbi and says, rabbi, all our lives we've been waiting for the Messiah to come.
You don't really build like that. Yeah. You know? I agree with you about the solicitor model versus the messiah . Because if you think about it, responsibility should exist at every level, right?
But clearly that wasn't the important part. It was the ending, the part about the newly formed Internet Reclamation Movement, now seemingly called the Messiah Movement, being suspected in the attack. 'The hell,' I screamed.
Because if you were friends with somebody, they'd hire you to play at a wedding or a depressing-- playing Handel's "Messiah " for the five
and don't tell lies, especially on oath, then this will be a better place to live in than if you go about doing those things. as you say, in Chapter Five, where that unity, which is the messiah and his people, which is Jew and Gentile, which is there
So one of my students sitting back there, the first thing we worked on was "Rejoice Greatly" from "The Messiah ," which is something
In another case of Aceh in Indonesia, where the guerrilla forces have been fighting for 30 years, the GAM. And it was she who actually said to me that Tony thought he was fucking Jesus, which is not exactly the same thing as a messiah complex but in the same range.
So we start to play the Hallelujah Chorus. And it's the seventh inning stretch of classical music, if you've ever had the dubious pleasure of sitting through the entire Messiah . And so, there's all this rumble of chairs because it's tradition for everyone to stand up.
I mean, I was telling Davis before, we got an email from a guy who runs a school for the Messiah children in
Episcopalian or Unitarian, then you are liberal. of them are in the modern world, but he is a spiritual person, a spiritual leader, somebody who did come as the Messiah with a new
