This Man Claims He Is Jesus Christ Reincarnated

Near Brasília, Brazil, followers of INRI (Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum: Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews) push their messiah around on a rolling pedestal. A dozen disciples—most of them women—live full-time with the celibate 69-year-old in his walled compound, which is protected with barbed wire and electrical fencing. INRI takes his name from the initials that Pontius Pilate inscribed on Christ’s cross. His awakening came in 1979.

Sometime in 1979, while Álvaro Theiss was fasting, he came to believe that he was Jesus Christ reborn. He received a divine message in the form of a voice in his head, and, in the days that followed, he decided to permanently shed his former name and refer to himself as “INRI Cristo,” a tribute to the inscription “Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum” that the Roman prefect Pontius Pilate inscribed on the cross on which Jesus was crucified.
INRI now lives with 12 of his disciples—three men and nine women—in a compound surrounded by barbed wire and an electric fence outside of Brasília, Brazil, in a town he has named New Jerusalem.
He explained his life story and teachings to photographer Jonas Bendiksen, who visited the compound that houses INRI’s church, named the Supreme Universal Order of the Holy Trinity. His story, along with profiles of four other self-proclaimed messiahs, appear in the August issue of National Geographic magazine.
INRI’s disciples always dress in sky blue clothes. He has given them all new names, starting with the letter “A”. The youngest, Alara, was brought to New Jerusalem by her parents as a child. Twenty-five years later, she is his personal assistant, tasked with sorting out his clothes and turning on his iPad.
He told Bendiksen that he has been celibate since his original revelation in 1979, and channels his unused sexual energy to internal communication with God. He also claims that all who live in New Jerusalem are also celibate.
To mirror his continuity with the Jesus Christ, the one who came from Nazareth, INRI is known to reminisce publicly about his earlier life 2000 years ago. But a lot has changed since the days of the gospels. He loves technology and reinterpreting the final verses of the Bible in light of modern inventions.
For example, in Revelations 1, verse 7, where Jesus is promised to be “coming with the clouds,” Theiss takes to mean that he is free to travel the world by airplane. The verse continues that “every eye will see” the coming Messiah, which to INRI interprets as a mandate to spread his message on television and on the internet.
He regularly preaches on YouTube and on Facebook Live, on which he has over//// 330,000///// followers. His disciples edit the videos at the compound in New Jerusalem.

The Last Testament: Jonas Bendiksen chronicles seven men who claim to be the Messiah

The New Testament’s penultimate verse prophesies Jesus Christ’s imminent return. In 2014, Magnum photographer Jonas Bendiksen embarked on a project, The Last Testament, to chronicle seven men who publicly claim to be the biblical Messiah.

The project took Bendiksen on a journey from England, Brazil, Russia, South Africa, Zambia, Japan and the Philippines to document these men, united in their faith that they themselves are the Chosen One, and have come to save the world.

Of the project, he said: "Christians have been waiting two millennia for the Messiah’s second coming when he will bring about the End times, judge humanity and correct our hopelessly flawed existence. I have always wondered what Jesus would say about our contemporary world if he came, and what today's people would make of the Son of God."

Of the seven men Bendiksen found, some are powerful and have thousands of followers, and others are true underdogs, with only a handful of disciples. In contrast to the ancient apostles’ media landscape of oral stories and parchment scrolls, Bendiksen was confronted with contemporary Messiahs communicating revelations in the age of Facebook, viral YouTube videos, twitter-storms and thirty-second attention spans. He immersed himself amongst the disciples of these men, and in each situation created an invitation to imagine each of the claimants to be The One.
از هفت مردی که یافت شد، برخی قدرتمند هستند و هزاران پیرو دارند، و برخی دیگر مستضعفان واقعی هستند و فقط تعداد کمی شاگرد دارند. بر خلاف چشم‌انداز رسانه‌ای حواریون باستان از داستان‌های شفاهی و طومارهای پوستی، بندیکسن با مسیحیان معاصر که مکاشفه‌های ارتباطی در عصر فیس‌بوک، ویدئوهای  یوتیوب، طوفان‌های توییتری و بازه‌های توجه سی و چند ثانیه‌ای را مطرح می‌کردند، مواجه شد. او خود را در میان شاگردان این مردان غوطه ور کرد و در هر موقعیتی دعوتی ایجاد کرد تا هر یک از مدعیان را یگانه تصور کند.
