At least seven persons throughout the world claim to be Jesus Christ reborn, and several of them have a large following of committed followers, according to the most recent figures available. Each of these guys, ranging from a retired Siberian traffic officer named Vissarion to a cross-dressing former British spy named David Shayler, claims to be the son of God. God has raised Jesus of Kitwe, Zambia, a cab driver who was first assaulted by the locals for claiming to be Jesus, to a position even higher in the hierarchy of heaven than Jesus himself.

5. The number of people who have filed claims has increased dramatically since that time.

Bendiksen selected seven individuals who have persuaded their followers that the Bible’s prophesy of the second coming has been fulfilled. In his article, he adds, “According to the individuals and villages I’ve shot, this 2000-year wait is now ended, and Jesus is once more walking among us.”

Moses Hilonwane of South Africa

Several years ago, when Moses Hlongwane established his compound in South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal region, claiming to be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ, he was rejected by the local community. It was his assertion that this served as evidence that he was Jesus Christ and that he had spent years in the desert before being resurrected as the Son of God. The former Johannesburg jewelry dealer quickly called himself “Lord of Lords” or “King of Kings,” referring to the highest position in the land.

During an interview with Channel Africa, he stated that he would “never die, as God had commanded.” According to Moses, “I shall never see death, and I am preparing to open graves and heal those who are blind or crippled,” as he spoke to the people in the audience.

Afterwards, he said that his wedding day marked the beginning of the End of Days, a religious catastrophe in which Jesus comes to earth and the devout are allowed entrance into the kingdom of heaven.

He has a total of around 40 disciples.

Vissarion of Siberia

Self appointed leader of the Church of the Last Testament, Vissarion, has gathered an impressive following of up to 10,000 devotees in the frozen mountain country of the Siberian forest. With his beard and flowing robes, the man, whose real names is Sergey Anatolyevitch Torop, looks the part. The 56-year-old claims to be the Second Coming of Christ and preaches reincarnation, vegetarianism, civility, ecology and apocalypse. A former Red Army officer, Vissarion worked as a patrol officer in the Minusinsk police force in Siberia before losing his job in 1989.

At his religious commune, Tiberkul on a secluded tract of land in the Siberian Taiga, 4400km west of Moscow and 500km from the Mongolian border, he lives with 5000 of his flock.

The winters are bitterly cold, which his Last Testament teachings say are all the better for developing his devotees’ character.

His disciples celebrate Christmas on January 14, Vissarion’s birthday, when they enter the community’s innermost and holiest village, Obitel Rassveta, or The Abode of Dawn. On this day, they share in a communal feast and observe other rituals.

David Shayler of England

David Shayler, a former MI5 operative and whistleblower, claimed to be the Messiah in 2007 after declaring himself to be so. Image courtesy of Getty Images After retiring from his old job as an MI5 agent and whistleblower in 2007, Shayler anointed himself the Messiah and now preaches as the cross-dressing alter ego Delores Kane on occasion. According to Shayler, the Messiah’s partial identity as a woman provides him with practical insight into the world from a feminine point of view. When Shayler was born on December 24, 1965, he gained to popularity as the result of his release of classified information to the British newspaper The Guardian, which claimed that the government espionage agency MI5 targeted persons who were thought to be socialists.

People Claiming to Be Jesus

I’ve spent the better part of half a century (yikes) writing for radio and print, with the most of my work appearing in print. I hope to be still hammering away on the keyboard when I take my final exhale. Christians believe that Jesus will return to Earth in accordance with the Bible’s passages John 14:1-3. The second coming of Christ has been predicted several times, but none of them has come to pass yet. Many persons who claim to be reincarnations of the Son of God contend that this is not the case.

Potter Christ

Arnold Potter was born in the year 1804 in the county of Herkimer in the state of New York. Neither a specific star nor three wise men or a manger are mentioned as being associated with his birth. He was baptized into the Mormon church and became a close companion of the faith’s founder, Joseph Smith, as a result of his baptism. Arnold Potter is a fictional character created by author Arnold Potter. The general public’s domain Peter Potter said that Jesus Christ invaded his body after a supernatural encounter while on his way to Australia to carry out missionary work.

He returned to the United States, where he assembled a small group of followers and established a base in the Iowa city of Council Bluffs.

He jumped from a cliff, but instead of soaring, he plummeted to the ground.

Shoko Asahara

Chizuo Matsumoto, who was born half-blind in 1955 to an impoverished Japanese family, made a livelihood by weaving tatami mats for a living. Then there was the marketing of natural medications, which caused some difficulties with the government because the company did not have a pharmaceutical license. In 1987, he experienced a spiritual awakening similar to that of Arnold Potter, which led to the establishment of the “religion of truth,” which is a rough translation of the Japanese name for the cult, Aum Shinrikyo.

He had a following of 10,000 people in Japan and many more in Russia during the height of his, shall we say, cult?

As Jesus Christ, he predicted that the world would be destroyed by a nuclear explosion, and that the only people who would be rescued would be members of Aum Shinrikyo.

A group of Aum Shinrikyo members decided to test their theory by releasing nerve gas into the Tokyo subway system in March 1995.

Bonus Factoids

• As reported by the BBC’s Quite Interesting program: “George Washington is regarded as a god by Japanese Shinto priests in Hawaii.” Ashley Nicole Bailey, 29, is from the Spartanburg area of South Carolina. In February 2017, police were summoned to a property in the area and discovered a guy who had suffered a serious neck injury.

The fact that John Nichols Tom (1799-1838) was a wine merchant in Cornwall, England, helps to explain a lot about him. After spending some time in a mental institution, he adopted the regal title of Sir William Percy Honeywood Courtney, King of Jerusalem, and amassed a merry band of supporters. They strolled across the Kent countryside, calmly advocating for a better deal for the poor and working class. This infuriated the landowners, who did not want their employees to become enraged, so they dispatched the military to arrest Tom. One soldier was badly hurt by a stick during a five-minute fight in 1838 that killed Tom and eight of his supporters
• Conspiracy theorist David Icke was asked by British talk show presenter Terry Wogan in 1991 about his theories. When Icke proclaimed, “I am the son of God,” many were stunned.

In response to the interview, Icke stated that he was “unable to go down any street in Britain without being laughed at.” To generate a chuckle, all a comic had to do was mention my name.”

Is he truly the Messiah, as he claims?

This man claims he’s the reincarnation of Jesus and has over 5,000 followers

Even if the majority of people who believe they are Jesus are more dangerous to themselves than they are to others, the majority of current prophets are not like Sergey Anatolyevitch Torop, alias Vissarion, the self-proclaimed reincarnation of Jesus Christ. As the Soviet Union began to disintegrate in the early 1990s, the Russian people were concerned about the future of their country, assuming that such a future existed. Vissarion and the Church of the Last Testament were able to appear as figures of compassion and hope because of the haze of doubt and dread that surrounded them.

It is estimated that his name translates to “one who brings new life,” and he appears to be the West’s revisionist version of Jesus, who is white.

The most frightening and dangerous of all the cult leaders who claim to be Jesus – whether they be Space Jesus or Russian Jesus – is Vissarion, also known as “the Teacher,” who looks to be the most dangerous of them all.

AJ further says that his companion, Mary Luck, a fellow Australian, is Mary Magdalene – the prostitute whose life was transformed when Jesus Christ rescued and delivered her from her persecutors — according to the Bible.
