Defined as an ideal Prince by Machiavelli, Cesare Borgia is a figure many people in medieval Europe looked up to. Photos of Cesare Borgia resemble those of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is a figure many people look up to also. But the speculation many people have is, “Is the photo of Jesus Christ that of Cesare Borgia”. Many people including Machiavelli may believe Cesare Borgia is a reincarnation of Jesus Christ. Based on the way he was able to rule a nation at a young age, and the power he held made him an example of an ideal prince to Machiavelli. During Borgia’s Reign, Numerous portraits of Christ were produced and Borgia’s visage may have influenced the depictions of Christ.The image of Cesare Borgia being Jesus Christ is also exemplified in popular culture. Rapper GZA said, “Even learnt Caucasians were really the tribute of Edom, the white image, of Christ, is really Cesare Borgia”, in his song entitled “B.I.B.L.E”. In my own views I believe that Cesare Borgia may look similar to Jesus Christ, but they are not the same individuals. They may share similar characteristics but they are two different individuals from different time periods in history.

Hi. The line you attributed to the GZA above is really that of Wu-Tang affiliate Killah Priest, who's song "B.I.B.L.E" was indeed featured on GZA's Liquid Swords LP.
ReplyDeleteAnd he didn't mean that Cesare Borgia was Jesus. He meant that Rennaissance-era painters depicted Jesus as a white guy. Leonardo DiVinci actually worked for Borgia for a short time. But Jesus wasn't white. He was a Jew from Nazareth. So his skin tone was probably closer to Killah Priest than Cesare Borgia.
Edomites = White People
ReplyDeleteIsraelites = Black People ( Not Africans )
The Bible Continually Tells The Reader How Much God Hates Edomites. In The Story Of Jacob And Esau, Jacob Was Born On Top Of Esau, But Esau Would Rule The World. Who Is Ruling the World Today ? Also, Esau Is Described To Have Been Covered With Red Hair. Only One Race Produces Red Hair And Skin. Wake Up.
