Why did this chronicle begin with the medieval era. The 1st century had more contenders than just Jesus, and some arguably with more Jewish support than he.
Brothah! You forgot to mention the Irish Messiah: Joseph Robinette Biden. What was his story in the 20th century? Him getting to Congress was already a miracle, wasn't it? The chap wasn't actually too clever even when he had command of his own brains, right?
Never knew there were so many false Messiahs, Reuben. There are about as many false Mahdis in Islam. The last one was in 79 when Masjid Haram was seized by Juhayman and his brother in law who they claimed was the Mahdi. After a bullet to the head Juhayman and his cronies realized they made a mistake but at a high cost that sent the Kingdom back into religious fundamentalism. Enjoyed the read! 👍👍
I was at the ER at the Rambam hospital in Haifa one night, and they brought in a girl who lost her personality for three days, after getting stoned on weed, and told everyone she was God. Then she started going around the beds and told everyone they were a god too, she looked really calm and radiant,and honestly was quite convincing. Then the doctors gave her antipsychotics, she fell asleep for a bit and then woke up her old self, a completely different person, a neurotic atheist, she could not believe she said these things. I often think back on this, I wish I remembered more from what she was saying, but I could not even hold a phone because my arm was swollen from a scolopendra bite, lol
Can you please share that snippet about the French New Popular Front in regards to Israel/Palestine again? I find it difficult to we search, even DuckDuckGo and Startpage seem to be restricted.

I look forward ro your article Nate. There are so many false messiahs who has time to list them all?
I have one on my sub talking about the two Dune movies (1984, 2021) and their portrayal of a conquering messiah vs the prophets' portrayal.
Ah...actual real life messiahs...you should have said.
Read the article if you wish
I told my mom that the Messiah didn't care if my room was cleaned up or not. She was not impressed and the Messiah never saved me.
There's always next year.

I’d prefer a small nuclear device
