Magic Magician
If you believe in magic what stops any magician from being a messiah?
WE have tons of direct evidence why
The Jewish Messiah originally meant a divinely appointed king; David, Cyrus the Great, and Alexander the Great[1] are examples of such. Later, especially after the failure of Bar Kokhba's revolt, the figure of the messiah was one who would deliver the Jews from oppression and usher in a new world.
* Simon of Peraea (ca. 4 BC), a former slave of Herod the Great who rebelled and was killed by the Romans.[2]
* Athronges (ca. 3 BC)[3], a shepherd turned rebel leader.
* Judas of Galilee (?), son of Hezekiah/Ezekias, a member of the Zealots faction who led a bloody revolt against a Roman census in AD 6.[4]
* Theudas (? - 46), who attempted a short-lived revolt against the Romans before being slain by the procurator Cuspius Fadus.[5]
* "Egyptian Prophet", c.55, with 30,000 unarmed Jews doing The Exodus reenactment massacred by the Roman procurator Antonius Felix (JW2.13.5, JA20.8.6, Acts 21:38)[6]
* Menahem ben Judah (?), allegedly son of Judas of Galilee, partook in a revolt against Agrippa II before being slain by a rival Zealot leader.
* Vespasian, c.70, according to Josephus[7]
* Simon bar Kokhba (?- ca. 135), founded a short-lived Jewish state before being defeated in the Second Jewish-Roman War.
* Moses of Crete (?), who in about 440-470 convinced the Jews of Crete to attempt to walk into the sea to return to Israel; he disappeared after that disaster.
* Ishak ben Ya'kub Obadiah Abu 'Isa al-Isfahani (684-705), who led a revolt in Persia against the Umayyad Caliph 'Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan.
o Yudghan (?), a disciple of Abu 'Isa who continued the faith after Isa was slain.
* Serene (?), who around 720 claimed to be the Messiah and advocated expulsion of Muslims and relaxing various rabbinic laws before being arrested; he then recanted.
* David Alroy (?), born in Kurdistan, who around 1160 agitated against the caliph before being assassinated.
* Nissim ben Abraham (?), active around 1295.
* Moses Botarel of Cisneros (?), active around 1413; claimed to be a sorcerer able to combine the names of God.
* Asher Lemmlein (?), a German near Venice who proclaimed himself a forerunner of the Messiah in 1502.
* David Reubeni (1490-1541?) and Solomon Molcho (1500-1532), adventurers who travelled in Portugal, Italy, and Turkey; Molcho was eventually burned at the stake by the Pope.
* A mostly unknown Czech Jew from around the 1650s.[8]
* Sabbatai Zevi (1626-1676), an Ottoman Jew who claimed to be the Messiah, but then converted to Islam; still has followers today in the Donmeh.
o Barukhia Russo (Osman Baba), successor of Sabbatai Zevi.
o Jacob Querido (?-1690), claimed to be the new incarnation of Sabbatai; later converted to Islam and led the Donmeh.
o Miguel Cardoso (1630-1706), another successor of Sabbatai who claimed to be the "Messiah ben Ephraim."
o Mordecai Mokia (1650-1729), "the Rebuker," another person who proclaimed himself Messiah after Sabbatai's death.
o Löbele Prossnitz (?-1750), a proven fraud who nevertheless attained some following amongst former followers of Sabbatai, calling himself the "Messiah ben Joseph."
* Jacob Joseph Frank (1726-1791), who claimed to be the reincarnation of King David and preached a synthesis of Christianity and Judaism.
* Menachem Mendel Schneerson (1902-1994), the seventh Chabad Rabbi who tried to "prepare the way" for the Messiah. Some of his followers believe him to be the Messiah, but this belief is declining.[9]
[edit] Christian messiah claimants
See also: Second Coming and List of people who have claimed to be Jesus
Verses in the Bible tell that Jesus will come again in some fashion; various people have claimed to, in fact, be the second coming of Jesus. Others have been styled a new Messiah still under the umbrella of Christianity.
* Simon Magus and Dositheos the Samaritan[10], mid first century
* Montanus, who claimed to be the promised Paraclete, mid second century
* Adalbert, a bishop who claimed miraculous powers circa 744. The Pope excommunicated him.
* Tanchelm of Antwerp (ca. 1110), who violently opposed the sacrament and the Eucharist.
* Ann Lee (1736-1784), a central figure to the Shakers who thought she "embodied all the perfections of God" in female form.
* Bernhard Müller (c.1799-1834) claimed to be the Lion of Judah and a prophet in possession of the Philosopher's stone.
* John Nichols Thom (1799-1838), a Cornish tax rebel.
* Arnold Potter (1804–1872), Latter Day Saint schismatic leader; called himself "Potter Christ"
* Hong Xiuquan of China (1812-1864), claimed to be the younger brother of Jesus.
* Bahá'u'lláh (1817-1892), born Shiite, adopting Bábism later in life, he claimed to be the promised one of all religions, and founded the Bahá'í Faith.
* William W. Davies (1833–1906), Latter Day Sai
