Men Who Claim To Be Jesus

‘I’m the reincarnation of Jesus’

This group of guys — which includes a retired Siberian traffic officer named Vissarion and a cross-dressing former British spy named David Shayler — all claim to be the son of God in some way.

Inri Cristo, a former waiter who lives in Brazil’s capital, goes about his business in a white robe topped with a plaited white crown.

Jonas Bendiksen, a Norwegian photographer, has traveled the world capturing these many Jesuses in locations such as England, Brazil, Russia, South Africa, Zambia, Japan, and the Philippines.

Mr.

Moses, who uses the welfare money he receives from his disciples to support his Jesus property in the town of KwaZulu-Natal, married one of his teenage disciples last year.
Evangelical scholar Bendiksen claims that the writings of St Paul from the first century make it obvious that he anticipated Jesus to come during his own lifetime.
It includes figures from as far back as the fifth century, including Ann Lee, a Shaker who thought herself Christ’s female equivalent in 1772, and racing driver Claude Vorilhon, who created the UFO cult known as the Ral Movement in 1972 after seeing an extraterrestrial landing.
In his article, he argues that “according to the individuals and villages I’ve shot, this 2000-year wait is now ended, and Jesus is once again walking among us.”

Inri Cristo of Brazil

This former Brazilian waiter, who goes by the name of Inri Cristo, is one of a number of persons throughout the world who claim to be Jesus Christ reborn. Image courtesy of Wikimedia Commons In the vicinity of Braslia, the Brazilian capital, the INRI’s largely female adherents, clothed in blue robes, push their messiah about on a rolling platform. Taking the initials INRI Pontius Pilate inscribed on the cross of Jesus Christ, this self-proclaimed Messiah has adopted the name Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews, which is written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek and stands for Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum, which translates as Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews.

They produce the majority of their own food and devote their time to advancing INRI’s objective, which is the dawning of a New Age of peace.
He left home when he was 13 years old and worked as a delivery boy, peddler, waiter, and baker to support himself.
He embarked on a speaking tour of Latin America, making brief appearances on television and establishing himself as a high-society guru.
He stated that the voice informed him that he was the same Jesus Christ who had been crucified 2000 years before.
He was ejected from the United States and the United Kingdom, but he sought refuge in France, where he was hailed as the Second Coming of Jesus Christ by certain believers.

Over the course of several decades, the police have repeatedly jailed Inri, resulting in the construction of a fortified and walled enclave in which he currently resides with his adherents.

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

Vissarion, the self-appointed leader of the Church of the Last Testament, has amassed a large following of up to 10,000 adherents in the cold alpine area of the Siberian wilderness, where he lives. The man, whose true name is Sergey Anatolyevitch Torop, has a beard and wears flowing robes, and he certainly looks the part. His followers believe he is the Second Coming of Christ and follow his teachings, which include reincarnation, vegetarianism, politeness, the environment, and the apocalypse.

A year later, he had a vision in which he was Christ, and he was tasked with leading followers among whom alcohol, nicotine, meat, and money were all forbidden to consume.

Members of his congregation, known as Vissarionites, come from all over the world to live in wooden huts and trudge through the snow in pursuit of their messiah, who is believed to be Jesus Christ.

His adherents celebrate Christmas on January 14, the anniversary of Vissarion’s birth, when they travel to Obitel Rassveta, also known as The Abode of Dawn, the community’s most inaccessible and holy settlement.

On this day, they participate in a community feast as well as other customs and ceremonies.

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.

A botched murder attempt against Libyan leader Col.
After making other statements to the media, including one involving the 1994 attack of Israel’s embassy in Tanzania, Shayler was charged with violating the Official Secrets Act.
Eventually, he became a member of the 9/11 Truth Movement, which asserts that Osama bin Laden was not responsible for the World Trade Center attacks.
He gave a “sermon on the mount” from the top of a hill there in 2008.
Shayler denies that he has had a nervous breakdown, as claimed by a former lover of his.
“I believe that I am the most recent incarnation of Christ and that I live a life of pure love,” he told the Independent newspaper back in 2009.

Matayoshi Mitsuo of Tokyo

As a politician, Matayoshi Mitsuo has run in a number of Japanese elections as the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, a position he has held for over a decade. Photo courtesy of the author As a politician, Matayoshi Mitsuo has run in a number of Japanese elections as the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, a position he has held for over a decade. He is certain that he is both Almighty God and Jesus Christ, and he asserts that he will execute the Last Judgment in the manner of Christ, but within the framework of the Japanese governmental system.

Mitsuo will become General Secretary of the United Nations after changing Japanese society.

The encouraging of political opponents to commit harakiri, or ritual suicide, has become a defining feature of his electoral campaigns.

Mizuo is a former teacher who in 1997 created the World Economic Community Party, which claims as one of its central beliefs that the world is run by Mitsuo, who believes he is God.

Bupete Chibew Chishimba of Zambia

He was first criticized when he claimed to be Jesus, but he has since gained popularity and claims to be higher in the heavens than Christ. Photo courtesy of Channel Africa After making the claim that he was Jesus Christ for the first time in 2013, Bupete Chibwe Chishimba, a native of Mindolo Township in the Zambian copper mining city of Kitwe, received physical abuse. When the townspeople discovered him, claiming to be Christ and to have been incarnated with the divine powers of Jesus, they attacked him with objects and demanded that he be crucified to demonstrate the truth of his claims.

He claimed to be able to heal the ill and accused church officials of fooling the public by claiming Jesus was on his way when in fact he was already here.

“Lord of Lords” is written on the side of his cab, and he wanders about the local marketplace, spreading the gospel of Christ’s coming to earth.

He lives with his wife and five children, and when he is not driving his two Toyota Corollas, he dresses in a white gown and walks around the streets of Nairobi, Kenya, spreading the gospel and preparing the world for the end of the world.

Alan John Miller of Australia

Jesus and Mary Magdalene were two of the most important people in Jesus’ life. Alan John Miller, a software developer from Kingaroy, with his wife Mary, who believes that the world is about to end. Photograph courtesy of Simon Dallinger, via News.com Alan John Miller, 54, of Kingaroy, Queensland’s peanut capital, is the founder of the Jesus Cult. He used to be a software manufacturer before joining the Jesus Cult. In his claim to be the reincarnation of Jesus, Miller is accompanied by his companion, who claims to be the reincarnation of Saint Mary Magdalene.

“My name was Yeshua ben Yosef, or the Jesus of the Bible, and I was the son of Joseph and Mary at the time.

“Mary was my wife at the time, and she was the first person I saw after I was crucified,” says Jesus.

Miller made a doomsday forecast on his website, stating that it may begin as early as 2012 if nothing is done.

“Both the east and west coastlines of Australia will be submerged to a depth of around 100 meters,” according to his website. He predicted that big cities such as Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and the Gold Coast will be extinct within a few decades.

A Photographic Look at the 7 Men Who Claim to Be Jesus Christ

Photographer Jonas Bendiksen has captured one of the most momentous occurrences in all of human history: the Second Coming of Christ. In fact, he’s done it seven times already. Bendiksen has spent the last three years photographing persons who claim to be Jesus Christ, and the photographs, as well as a personal description of his experiences, have been combined in the new book The Last Testament. Bendiksen became fascinated with the idea of the Second Coming after hearing about Vissarion of Siberia (the last Jesus featured in his book) while traveling through the Russian region.

Bendiksen’s book is available on Amazon.
Jonas Bendiksen is a character in The Last Testament (Aperture, 2017) Observer said that “you can walk into any mental facility in New York and discover people who claim to be Jesus,” according to him.
This required.a constant revelation over an extended period of time, in most cases decades.
Seven Second Comings are documented in this book using photographs and other visual aids.
The visit to Inri Cristo in Brazil or Moses in South Africa will be “amazing,” Bendiksen said.
The majority of the guys were delighted to have Bendiksen as a part of their lives.
After INRI Cristo has delivered the day’s sermon in the compound chapel, the followers close the drapes in front of him to protect him from the elements.
He admits that he has always been attracted by the act of reading scripture and the concept of religion in general.
In the face of inquiry and my own fascination,” he explained.
The personal ties that have grown as a result of the project are also readily apparent, resulting in a book that is an honest page-turner.
Depending on their relationship (or lack thereof) with faith and the Bible, it is certain that each reader will have a different reaction to it.

But it isn’t only them who will be drawn to this collection of art; everyone will be. The pictures of Jesus Christ walking among us will capture people of all religions, as well as those who are not religious. They will also enchant art connoisseurs.

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.

Cult leader who claims to be reincarnation of Jesus arrested in Russia

Special forces were dispatched to capture a former traffic police officer who claims to be the reincarnation of Jesus and has been running a cult in the depths of Siberia for the better part of three decades, according to Russian officials. Helicopters and armed cops assaulted the villages operated by Sergei Torop, also known as Vissarion to his followers, and apprehended him as well as two of his associates. He will be charged with organizing an unlawful religious organization, according to Russia’s investigating committee, which claims that the cult extorted money from believers and subjected them to mental torture.

A helicopter was waiting for Kirill Kukhmar/TassTorop, who was 59 years old and had long grey hair and a beard.
Agents from Russia’s FSB security service, as well as members of the police and other agencies, took part in the operation.
After being fired from his job as a traffic police in 1989, Torop said he had a “awakening” as the Soviet Union began to crumble.
Several thousand adherents dwell in a succession of rural hamlets in the Krasnoyarsk area of Siberia, which is surrounded by the Russian border.
“I am not God in any way.” It is also erroneous to see Jesus as the Son of God.

According to Vissarion, who spoke to the Guardian in 2002, “Everything that God wants to convey, he says via me.” Initially, according to Russian media, Vissarion claimed that Jesus was looking over people from an orbit close to Earth and that the Virgin Mary was “ruling Russia,” but then he claimed that he was Jesus and that he was the Son of God.

Veganism is strictly enforced, and all forms of monetary transaction are prohibited within the community.

Christmas has been replaced with a feast day on 14 January, the day of his birth.

Even though the official Russian Orthodox church has long condemned the organization, officials have mostly ignored the adherents of the sect. It was stated in certain Russian media sites that the community had been embroiled in a battle with local corporate interests, which was true.

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.

Murza Ghulam Ahmad (1835-1908), a Muslim convert from India, claimed to be both the messiah and the mahdi, or redeemer of Islam.

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.

After a protracted trial, the son of god was found guilty of murder and sentenced to death by lethal injection. That punishment, as well as the sentences of six other members of his organization, was carried out by hanging in July 2018.

Jesus Down Under

Chizuo Matsumoto, who was born half-blind in 1955 to a poor Japanese family, made a career by making tatami mats for the needy. Next came the sale of natural remedies, which caused some friction with the government because the company did not hold a pharmaceutical license. The “religion of truth,” as its Japanese name Aum Shinrikyo is known, was founded by him in 1987, much like Arnold Potter. He experienced a spiritual awakening in 1987 that led him to form the “religion of truth.” Shoko Asahara became the official name after this, and parts and pieces of Buddhism, Hinduism, and Christianity were snatched from other religions.

“I am the Lamb of God,” he proclaimed emphatically.
What better way to get support for your cause than to commit an act of terrorism?
The death toll rose to thirteen, with many more injured.
In July 2018, he and six other members of his organization were executed by hanging as a result of their conviction.

Female Jesus

In these days of gender ambiguity, it is only fair that there should be female contenders for the title of Prince of Peace, as well as male. Marina Tsvigun, or Maria Devi Christos, as she is most well known, is the subject of this article. She is the leader of an organization in Russia called the New Community of Enlightened Humanity, which means “New Community of Enlightened Humanity.” Another name for it is the zodiac constellation YUSMALOS, which is an abbreviation for Jupiter Saturn Mars Luna Saturn Orion and Sirius.

Tsvigun was inspired to pursue a career in the divinity trade.

Afterwards, he came to believe that he was John the Baptist and that he had married the Messiah.
There was a new group called “The Mystic College of Isis and Her Followers,” and there were books, pamphlets, and artwork produced as a result.

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. Ashley Bailey told deputies, “I ain’t taking any responsibility for this.” She then went on to explain that she is Jesus Christ and that she has complete influence over President Donald Trump because to a bracelet she wears on her wrist. 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. A gasp could be heard from the crowd, prompting Wogan to say, “They’re laughing at you.” “They’re not laughing along with you,” they say. 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.”

Meet Five Men Who All Think They’re the Messiah

A version of this article appeared in the August 2017 edition of National Geographicmagazine. It is certain that I will be arriving shortly.’ The last passage of the Bible, which predicts the coming of Jesus Christ, has always held a fascination for me. When do you mean “soon”? And who exactly is “I”? I’ve been following seven individuals who claim to be the Second Coming of Christ for the past three years (five are shown here). Using their revelations as a source of inspiration and spending time with their disciples as a source of inspiration, I’ve attempted to create images that illustrate the human desire for faith, meaning, and salvation.

However, I’ve always loved reading the Bible, and my interest in it has risen significantly over the past decade or so.
As a Christian, I’ve pondered what Christ would think of the world we’ve created if he returned today to complete his mission on earth.
Having these ideas whirling about in my brain, I made the decision to begin searching for messiahs.
You may expect that there would be a greater number of persons who profess to be Christ.
Each of these gentlemen is distinct.
For the vast majority of people, belief in a higher power is a purely abstract concept.
They have the ability to touch their belief.
One thing that struck me about several of these messiahs is how steadfast they are in their beliefs.
In some ways, they’re more coherent than the Scriptures that we have available to us.
However, I’ve always believed that the coming of a messiah is a fundamental part of the Abrahamic religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—and that this is a fundamental part of their beliefs.
So, if one accepts that, why couldn’t it be one of these gentlemen instead?

I hope it will inspire others to think about their own beliefs and who has the authority to define them in the same way. The Last Testament, a novel by Jonas Bendiksen, will be published by Aperture/GOST in September of this year.

Man Who Claims To Be Jesus Christ Arrested In Military-Style Operation

Keep an eye on the situation. Russia’s special forces conducted a special operation to apprehend a former traffic officer who claimed to be Jesus Christ: A big military-style operation with four helicopters and scores of highly armed personnel storms an isolated property known as Sun City, according to footage captured on camera. A former Red Army conscript and traffic police officer, Sergei Torop – also known as Vissarion – is the spiritual head of the group that has taken up residence in Sun City.

Torop, 59, was allegedly seized with his closest aide, Vadim Redkin, a former rock musician, and flown away under armed escort, according to reports.
Secret police personnel with assault machine rifles were seen at the group’s land in the far-flung Kuraginsky district of Krasnoyarsk region in Siberia, according to videos posted on the internet by sect members.
Avtozaks (mobile jail cells) are 50 in number, according to Alexander Staroverov, a local resident.
“Torop and Redkin were placed in helicopters and flown away in an unknown direction,” he continued.
Image courtesy of East2West The gang – who are prohibited from smoking and consuming alcoholic beverages – has resided in Siberia for years, and it is unknown why the Russian authorities intervened in an early morning raid today.
“She must realize that she must not soar above the guy, that she must not be proud of her independence, but rather that she must be quiet, unobtrusive, and weak.” According to reports, the cult leader has two spouses and a total of six children.
Cartridges were discovered at Torop’s home.
In the aftermath of being sacked from his position as a night shift traffic officer in the Siberian town of Minusinsk, Torop claims to have experienced a rebirth.
Christmas was abolished by the cult leader, who replaced it with the anniversary of the day of his own first sermon, which was on August 18th.

He asserts that Mary, the mother of Jesus, is the same as his own mother. Official papers, on the other hand, indicate that his biological mother was named Nad y ezhda. You can make whatever you want out that.

Russian authorities detained cult leader Vissarion, who claims to be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ, and two of his aides on Tuesday on suspicion of “causing grievous bodily harm to two or more persons” and inflicting “serious harm” through the use of “psychological violence,” according to the Investigative Committee of Russia. On August 18, 2009, Russian ex-traffic officer Sergei Torop, also known as “Vissarion the Teacher” or “Jesus of Siberia,” gathers with his disciples in the isolated town of Petropavlovka, where he was born.

Key Facts

In the southern district of the Krasnoyarsk area, the Investigative Committee and Federal Security Service (FSB) agents apprehended Vissarion, a former police officer and Red Army conscript whose secular name is Sergei Torop, at his home, where he was being held by the FSB. A mystical vision occurred in 1990, a year after Torop was fired from his work as a traffic officer, according to Torop. He claims that in this revelation, Vissarion, the resurrected Jesus Christ, appeared to him in the form of Vissarion, the returning Jesus Christ.

According to Interfax, the Church of the Last Testament claimed searches and interrogations in February that were connected to a fraud investigation into a school that was attended by the children of members.

In the Siberian wilderness, the Church of the Last Testament claims to have established the world’s largest religious reservation in its secluded community in the forest. Additionally, it has been alleged that they have an additional 6,000 followers who are dispersed across the world in addition to the 4,000 followers who reside on the compound grounds. According to Vissariontold the BBC in 2017: “We have a school for noble maidens here on the grounds. The girls will be future spouses and brides for deserving men,” says the instructor, adding that women must “understand that they are not to rise above the guy, that they should not be proud of their independence, but that they should be quiet, unobtrusive, and weak.”” According to The Daily Mail, Vissarion is the father of six children by two spouses, and “at one point married a 19-year-old who had lived with him from the age of seven,” according to the newspaper.

Tangent:

As reported by The Moscow Times earlier this year, Vissarion’s deputy, Vadim Redkin, stated that the church’s membership applications increased by thrice at the height of Russia’s coronavirus pandemic.

Surprising Fact:

Vissarion abolished Christmas and replaced it with the commemoration of the date of his own first sermon, which became known as the Feast of the Epiphany (August 18).
