His name is Jose Luis de Jesus. In 1973, he said angels came to him in a dream and told him he is the second of coming of Jesus Christ. He has millions of followers nationwide, and hundreds gathered in Naples to celebrate his birthday a few days early.

Jose Luis de Jesus refers to himself as ‘The Man Christ Jesus‘ and he believes there is no sin, the devil does not exist, and 666 is the number of God himself.

Jose Luis de Jesus Miranda — who also claims to be the Anti-Christ — has reportedly used charitable donations to his ministry for personal expenses.
