The History of Exalted Figures
The History Of Exalted Figures February 8, 2020 Category: Religion Download as PDF Let’s define a panjandrum as a charismatic leader who has amassed a cult following, and employed demagogy as a tool for ensuring sycophancy. In assaying the occurrence of panjandra throughout history, in different cultures around the world, it is important to recognize the ubiquity of the phenomena. It is not difficult to find illustrations of the phenomenon today. Sometimes circulated in New York City is a pamphlet entitled “Moshiach [Messiah] Is Here”. It reads as follows: “The Rebbe, M. Schneerson, King Messiah, is the world-renown spiritual leader of our generation. A proven prophet, his impact on millions of lives and his orchestrating of a worldwide spiritual revolution identify him as the genuine King Messiah. The real Bible clearly indicates that this is so. Bestowed with eternal life, the [spirit of] Rebbe King Messiah resides at his headquarters [in Brooklyn].” While the late Menachem Mendel Schneerson was reluctant to take on the mantle of Prophet, his Lubavitch followers insist that he was the Abrahamic Messiah…even as he himself often downplayed the claim. In hearing of this, one can’t help but wonder: What’s going on here? More to the point: What, exactly, was Schneerson doing? I hope to show that he wasn’t doing anything that hundreds of men (and a few women) hadn’t done before him. To illustrate the point, we might begin with one of the best-known instances of the phenomenon: Islam’s “Khatam an-Nabiyyin” [Seal of the Prophets]. -
