Wonders, they say, shall never cease in this world and the source of wonderment this time is a 66 years old?Brazilian?man,Inri?Cristo, who believes he is?Jesus?Christ?and is the reincarnated son of?God.
Cristo, from Brasilia, the capital of Brazil, according to Daily Mail UK, has ?hundreds of followers? from around the world, including the UK, Britain and France, some of whom live with him at his ?church? compound outside Brasilia.
In the past?35?years, he has travelled to?27?countries, been arrested?40?times and expelled from?Britain?and the?US.?InriCristo?has spent?35?years preaching the ?word?of?God?, because he believes he is the reincarnation of?Jesus.
He is reported to tell his followers repeatedly that he is?Jesusand that he has come back in the flesh to prepare his followers for the rapture. Most of the disciples who live at his church ? mostly women – have followed Inri for decades, the eldest,Abevere,?86,?has been following him for?32?years while his youngest disciple is now?24?years old and first met Inri when she was just a two years old.
As ?Jesus?reborn,? he has even taken the name of?Inri, which derives from the?Latin?acronym said to have been written on the cross during?Jesus’?crucifixion, and stands for?IesusNazarenus,?Rex?Iudaeorum, or in?English😕Jesus?theNazarene,?King?of?the?Jews’?and?Cristo, meaning?Christ.
His?Jesus-like dressing and unorthodox views on capitalism, abortion and even?Christmas?has seen him detained by police more than 40 times. But despite seeing himself as?Jesusreborn,?Inri?refuses to celebrate?Christmas?saying it is just a day where ‘the rich humiliate the poor’.
Inri says he first experienced the ‘revelation’ that he was?Christduring a religious fast in?Santiago,?Chile, in?1979.
Since childhood, he had been following a powerful voice that ‘speaks in his head’ but it was only on this occasion that it told him:
?I am your Father, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob.?
He runs his own church, the?‘Soust’?(Suprema?OrdemUniversal?da?Santmssima?Trindade), located on a lush farmland outside of?Brasilia, the capital of?Brazil, which he calls the?‘New?Jerusalem’.
He and his followers survive on homegrown fruit like bananas, avocados and mangos as well as a vegetable garden.
There’s also a chapel where?Inri?speaks to his followers everySaturday?morning and a kennel for the dogs that guard the complex.
His quirky life has led to critics saying he is mentally ill – an accusation he firmly denies.
?I can be crazy but not dumb,? he said. ?Madness is different from dementia. It is the mother of philosophers, prophets and inventors.
?My mission is to prepare the elect, the survivors of the inevitable nuclear hecatomb that will culminate in the end of this chaotic world, for the formation of the new earthly society, which will strive to fulfill the Creator’s will.?
