John F. Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln: Were They of One Soul?

Nearly 45 years after the unforgettable assassination of great American President John F. Kennedy, the theories about the astonishing similarities of his life and that of another US great leader Abraham Lincoln still persist. What is really the truth surrounding these circumstances?

The Roman Catholic Church has long been rejected the theory of physical rebirth as this belief contradicted the Universal Church's teaching about Eternal Life with the Heavenly father. But what puzzles humanity is the widespread theory of reincarnation. This theory was further the object of curiosity when some political researchers published the amazing coincidence on the lives of two great American leaders: Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy.

The striking similarities on the lives of these admirable political figures were simply astounding that many believed they were only one soul and that further fueled the belief of reincarnation.

Lincoln and Kennedy came into America's political scene exactly 100 years apart. The engaged on some identical social and political issues and both exuded remarkable strength of character, nobility of purpose and concerned for the human race. They had similar principles and fought with the same degree of admiring boldness and commitment to democratic governance.

Lincoln became the emancipator of American Negro slaves, while Kennedy protected Black Americans' rights. They were both involved in, concerned with, on one and the same issues: Human Rights.

Below are the astounding facts surrounding their identical lives.

  1. President Abraham Lincoln became US President in 1860, Kennedy in 1960
  2. They had both surnames consisting seven letters
  3. They were both shots in the head and from behind
  4. Both were shots in the presence of their wives
  5. Lincoln's assassin, John Wilkes Booth, was born in 1839, while Kennedy's killer, Lee Harvey Oswald, was born in 1939
  6. Take note of the names of both assassins, each had 15 letters
  7. Both killers were killed before they could stand trial
  8. Lincoln's secretary was surnamed Kennedy, while Kennedy's secretary was surnamed Lincoln
  9. Booth shots Lincoln inside the theatre and run to hide inside the warehouse
  10. Oswald shots Kennedy inside the warehouse and run to hide inside the theatre
  11. Lincoln's vice president and successor was Andrew Johnson, while Kennedy's vice president and successor was Lyndon Johnson
  12. The two Johnsons were both senators from the south before becoming US Vice Presidents in their respective time
  13. Andrew Johnson was born in 1808 while Lyndon Johnson in 1908, each name consists of 13 letters

Were the shocking similarities of their lives simply coincidental? Were the circumstances simply the result of the old adage that goes “History repeats itself”? It's up to us to discern the mystery of this phenomenon.

Lincoln was shot in a Ford Theatre and Kennedy was shot in a Ford automobile.
#7 by David George, Jul 30, 2008
Even more notable was the fact that the Ford that Kennedy was shot in was a Ford Lincoln of all things.
