A woman said there is a man in Illinois that says he is Jesus Christ?

Question

and she thinks it might be. What would your answer be to her?

Answer 1

No way, for at least three reasons:

1) There hasn't been a rapture, or armies of Heaven returning on white horses. Pre-trib or post-trib, neither event has happened.

2) Unless the man has nail prints in his hands and feet, and a spear-print in his side, he's not Jesus. This is the same proof that the Apostle Thomas wanted, and Jesus gave Thomas the opportunity to see.

3) Unless this man can appear in a locked room, without using the doors, as Jesus did, he surely isn't Jesus.

Besides, none of the other prophecies have been fulfilled. We haven't seen the abomination of desolation in Jerusalem, there is no temple, and we haven't seen the 144,000 Jews sealed from the various tribes.

In all sincerity, I appreciate the fact that someone admires Jesus to emulate Him. But to say "I am Jesus", is wrong.

Answer 2

Number one---I have always assumed that throughout the history of this great nation there has probably ( at all points in time) been a man in Illinois who said he was Jesus Christ. Many of us know folks in our own home town(or even, perhaps, our own family) who presume the same idiocy. Number two---He would never make it by without lookin' me up first to get my read on the situation. We've always been tight like that, see?

Answer 3

Wow! The end is truly near!

But I would not buy into that statement, as if that person really was Jesus, all the other signs would have taken place already!

And I don't think any of us would be on the pc! Many of us would be bowed down in prayer or trying to be saved or what have you.

Answer 4

It doesnt matter what the woman says or the man claiming to be Jesus Christ. You have many good answers here, so I wont have to say much. But, The Bible tells all about what it will be like when Jesus comes again, and unless a person is coming in the same manner as scripture tells us, that person is not Jesus Christ. This is just one more reason why God wants us to know and understand Him and His word, so that we will not fall into any deception. The devil will send much to deceive us, and if we dont know God and His precious Holy word, it will be so easy to be deceived. There are also mentally ill ppl that truly think they are Jesus or the King of England, whatever.... many claiming many different things, but this is all caused by the devil as well. PPl hear from spirits that speak to them, but they arent from the Spirit of God, they are from the spirit of the wicked devil and all thos fallen angels that will call you to their lies as well.
Only by knowing God and His word, and living it, staying in prayer, using the discernment God gives to each of us that are truly His, will we walk till Jesus comes in the Spirit and not be pulled into any deception. Obedience leads to blessing, and disobedience still leads to curse.
I knew a lady many years ago that was schizophrenic. She thought she not only was a queen in another country, but a queen in many countries at the same time, as well. Noone could tell her different, as she believed it. Its called oppression, depression and poession. mental illness. Today that is not popular teaching, but it doesnt matter. Thats still what it is. WHy do you think they hear voices so clearly?? And why are those voices never telling them to go do GOOD things ? THey will hear to go hurt someone, or kill them, or that ppl are after them... etc. Fear is never of God, nor is violence and lies. WE as a nation had better wake up and start hearing only from the VOICE OF GOD< THE HOLY SPIRIT, which will always lead us only to Gods truths, all of them.
God bless you for the question.

Answer 5

When Jesus returns this time, He will not descend to earth.
He is coming on a cloud in the eastern sky with trumpets and a shout.

1Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

Revelation 14:14 And I looked, and behold a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.

Answer 6

I would ask her, then why didn't the rest of the world know? It says in the Bible that when Jesus comes back, He's going to come back like a thief in the night, which means He's coming back when we least expect it and it also says He'll come back like lightning flashes from east to west - it's going to be fast. When the real Jesus Christ comes back, trust me - we'll know, especially His followers.

Answer 7

I don't think so. But you never know. God works in mysterious ways. I could very well be Jesus, for the world is passing away soon and Jesus might be coming back to end this ugly, raging, hateful world. God Bless each and everyone of you. There was a man here in Michigan too, who would walk from state to state and claimed he was Jesus, dressed just like you would imagine he would dress, and pictures we have seen about him and what he would look like. But it is not for me to say...........LOL

Answer 8

He isn't. There were a lot of prophecies from the Old Testament that were fulfilled in the coming of Christ 2000 years ago. I see no such signs for the Second Coming as of yet.

Answer 9

Luk 17:23 And they will say to you, 'Look, there!' or 'Look, here!' Do not go out or follow them.
Luk 17:24 For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be in his day.

Answer 10

starlight star-bright the first star I see tonight.
I don't think I would have an answer for her maybe some questions for the Jesus guy though.
