Brangelina Messiah Has Arrived

Finally, the day we have all been waiting for. We had read all the signs; the planets were in the right alignment, there have been wars, famines and plagues, there was the breaking of the seventh seal with the birth of the anti-christ (no offence, Suri) and Jennifer Annison is releasing her new movie... all of which means that Angelina has at last dropped her load.

So the big question is, did she give her baby girl a religious name. And the answer is; kinda. She has called the chosen one Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, or if you believe reports, the Prime Minister of Namibia has given her daughter that name.

But what does it all mean?

Shiloh is the name of an ancient village of central Palestine northwest of the Dead Sea. In the Bible, it was a meeting place and sanctuary for the Israelites and the site of a tabernacle where the Ark of the Covenant was kept until its capture by the Philistines. And Nouvel means New in French. So what is the theological message that Brangelina want to convey? Are they trying to tell us that their daughter will be the new home of the Ark? Or better yet, that she will be the bearer of the new commandments from God? Will she build a new Tabernacle? or create a new Sanctuary for Israelites around the world?
But thats not all folks, the name may have other meanings too. The Hebrew origin of the word can be translated to mean "His Gift", and many interpret it as "He who was sent" -a prophetic name for the Messiah.

Can it really be true? Has the celebrity Messiah actually arrived?

Only one thing is certain, this baby is likely to be so beautiful that some suspect it will have the power to cure cancer, just by smiling.

Shiloh happened to be one of the places the Ark resided in during the period of the Judges. It lost all significance permanently as soon as the Temple was built in Jerusalem. There will never again be another "home of the Ark",or "new commandments from G-d", for that matter.

Shiloh only resembles "He who was sent" when written in English. A more phonetic rendering would replace the "h" with a "ch", pronounced gutteraly. Hebrew roots are pretty much inviolate; their meanings do not cross over simply because some letters look alike.
