Apparently, Jesus has made His second coming via social media, giving blessings and threatening damnation after videos claiming to be Him surfaced online. A TikTok account, which has gained over nine million likes across 70 videos, has been posing as Jesus under the username Daily Believer.<\/p>\n

The profile shares clips made with artificial intelligence showing the self-declared Jesus with long hair, a beard, and blue eyes based on the 1940 painting “Head of Christ.” Each clip shows the computer-generated Jesus telling viewers they must share this video with their family and friends and comment “I believe” if they believe in God. However, if they don’t comply with His demands, He tells them they’ll face “damnation.”<\/p>\n

On one clip, which is pinned to the top of the Daily Believer account after gaining more than 3.5 million likes, the account said in the caption, “This video brings a special visitor to you, straight from my home. He is someone I know very well. His name is Jesus Christ. He is ready to enter your life, bring protection to your family, and cleanse your heart with His love.”<\/p>\n

The same video offers a kind of damnation to users who don’t share the clip with friends and family, as the virtual Jesus said, “If you reject, remember what He said. ‘If you deny me before me, I will deny you before the Father,'” reciting Matthew 3:10. However, he’s not all doom and gloom as some of digital Jesus’s videos feature different blessings for various people and occasions and start with him saying, ‘Hey.’ Over 300,000 people commented on one of his videos, following his instructions with “I believe.”<\/p>\n
