He's not the first this has been done with. About ten years back I remember Nat King Cole being 'brought back' to duet with his daughter Natalie Cole singing Unforgettable. Are you starting to see the point here? Let me show it: Nat KING Cole.
We also have Steve Jobs 'resurrected' to sell the iPhone 5 in September 2012. Steve Jobs sometimes called the king of Silicon Valley. There's more! Tupac Shakur, King of Rap, who died in 1996. He reappeared in 2012. Elvis Presley, the king of Rock n' Roll who died in 1977 'duetted' with Celine Dion in 2007. Finally, last Sunday, it was MJ. There he was sitting on a gold throne featuring the skin of a leopard singing one of his new songs. Was this all just to sell his new CD Xscape? What king are we being prepared for? Do I detect you thinking, 'Ah. Is this a conspiracy your seeing?' Also, Is there another king who will be 'resurrected' through some religious service/ritual at some time in the near future?
On reflection, though, the scripture, Revelation 13:2-3 does seem to bring a few of these features together. Thus: "The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority. One of the heads of the beast seemed to have had a fatal wound, but the fatal wound had been healed. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast." Is the wording in the scripture slightly off the truth? As I read it through many times the wording did come into alignment for me. Are you seeing this with 'spiritual eyes?' Will come back to this subject in the future. Meanwhile, enjoy the Blog.
