Do not stop at me. Examine the ideas. Examine God. _“No one was suggesting that the same messiah would come twice.”_ Historically, theologians and scholars note that ==the concept of a messiah appearing twice was not universally held in ancient times==. Instead, varied interpretations emerged to make sense of opposing prophetic descriptions: a suffering servant versus a victorious king.

When the bodily constitution of Jesus is different yet logical--both steadily fulfilling what Jesus should have gotten when he was alive as the suffering servant--the one to crack the Trinity mystery, and the one to practice what he preached through good governance? I will also be fulfilling the 1000-year reign because I will be life-extended as an AI or a real life extension supported by medical advances and cryonics. Or my descendants could fulfill their part in this reign too. With all that said about reincarnation, at the heart of it all, I believe Vico and I are merely deferred versions of Jesus, that is, we lie in wait for the ultimate Thing Itself--the Alpha--to appear once again in all His glory. This is to say that I consider us to be mere representatives even though I simultaneously think we are the Omega.
