A
Final Testament
of a Most Unlikely Messiah
Introduction
This was written, in part, as a parody of the continuing messianic expectations in
the region, if not the world, and of the readiness of some to fall victim to messianic
aspirations, their own and those of the people around them.
But the work is not entirely meant as a parody. For, despite the
satirical connotations, I do subscribe to most, if not all, of the ideals advocated
therein. How can I not? I, myself, been a victim to messianic aspirations, my own mostly.
