Great video! To be honest, I'd expect there to have been more attempts! Haha! Sorry to put this again, but I figured it'd have a higher chance of being seen here. Ever heard of Marin Držić (or Dârʃcich, as they sometimes spelled it before the reform---pronounced the same)? A (relatively) famous Croatian renaissance playwright from Dubrovnik, which was then an independent Republic. He got it in his head that the government (specifically the Senate, though I might be mis-remembering) was too corrupt, so sent letters to the Medici of all people, asking them to overthrow it and take it for themselves! (Because of course replacing the Republic's independent government by the monarchical rule of a foreign dynasty is better).They quietly made no response, but I believe the general maxim was "no harm in hearing it all!" His comedies are very good, though.
@@JackRackam Well this might sound a bit nit picky but Hong Xiuquan didn't claim to be the messiah, he did claim to be a main figure and prophet next to is alleged bro aka Jesus Christ. I do think it's a shame you didn't include Mohammed because he's on a similar level of importance in his own faith as Jesus/isa and nobody seems to dare to even touch him despite there being much to say (educational and for jokes)like with Jesus or the Buddha

You forgot the funniest part about Father Divine, which is telling his followers not to have kids because he and his followers already have eternal life.
Funny story: I don’t know if this was intentional, but Brian tells the Romans that his father was a centurion in the Jerusalem garrison named “Naughtius Maximus”. So he is *literally* the son of “Very Naughty”
Potter went further though. Joseph Smith claimed to be a prophet of God, like Muhammad. Potter took it to the next level by claiming to actually be Jesus
Saying Haile Selassie “Life of Brian”-d himself to Massia-hood so nonchalantly has to be the best and funniest thing I’ve heard this year, maybe even ever 😂🤣🇯🇲 Your way of words is spectacular.
Hey Jack, tip which you might find interesting: The Heineken kidnapping: Its 1983 in the Netherlands where a group of kidnappers came to the idea to kidnap Freddy Heineken. The owner of the Heineken brewery. They invade his home and successfully capture him where they hold him hostage for weeks while negotiating a ransome with the Dutch authorities. While this was going on, the police managed to find where they kept Heineken. The kidnappers however managed to escape to France At the time the Netherlands and France didnt had an exradition treaty. So both Dutch and French couldnt do anything too catch the kidnappers. And they were not amused at the situation. So they came together and came up with the most insane plan ever too catch a group of criminals. There is one place in the world where the Netherlands borders France: the isle Saint Maarten in the Carribean. It was publicly known that the French government were not too happy that a bunch of known Dutch criminals where on the loose in France without being able to do anything too do about it. So the French government did the criminals an offer: go to saint Maarten, never return and live your life in peace. Or at least stay far away from mainland France. The criminals thought about it and rejoiced. They thought this was an absolute pay off for the Heineken kidnapping. Being able too live the rest of their lives on a tropical island. When they arrived on the isle however, the French authorities orchestrated an actual riot against the comming of the criminals on the island. The locals chased the criminals too the Dutch part of the island. Back into Dutch juristiction where the Dutch police was waiting. Look it up, its wild
I mean, your technically not wrong. If in fact there was an actual messiah who was around during the age of the internet, they would probably make a video about false messiahs and what to watch our for.
I'm incredibly surprised Mani, the founder of the first religion to reach "World Religion" status, wasn't mentioned in this kind of video. Btw, you should totally do a video on him. If you like the Chinese Brother of Jesus, you're gonna love Mani.
@Bane129 Naah it's Life of Brian. He says he isn't the messiah, a lady tells him that line so he goes okay "I AM the messiah!" hoping they go away to which they all cheer and continue declaring he's the messiah.
don't forget "Homer The Rain Maker" (he would draw a circle in the sand around him and dance for hours until rain came) who was also a messiah in the Levant Region, a significant number of years before Christ. (this area was brimming with anticipation for a messiah, seeing that judaism was dead set on preaching the return of the Messiah since it's inception)
Except he quietly died "of a mysterious illness" behind his palace walls during a military coup. That his belatedly exhumed bones showed evidence of some horrific foul play is beside the point
FYI @JackRackam The picture you had for Arnold Potter is actually of Mormon Prophet Brigham Young. Source I grew up mormon, I know Brigham Young when i see him. 😅
Ah, see this is where Jack Rackam has you 5d-multiverse-checkmated. Remember that one time there was a weird schism going down, and Brigham appeared in the form of Joseph Smith? Makes sense then, that somebody appearing in the form of Brigham would be the TRUE MESSIAH! Do you think it's a coincidence that The Book of Arnold was recently revealed to humble Broadway producers??? Signs of the times!!! I'd like to take this opportunity to bear my Special Witness of the Lord Jesus Christ, EVEN Arnold (Brigham) Potter!
The truth is that there is no Messiah. There will be one who will attempt to disprove it by doing the things the Messiah will do so as to point people back to God, but they will not be believed.
Man, you should look up the extremaduran Samson, Diego Garcia de Paredes, there is no videos about him in english and he had a wild life, from papal guard to pirate to marshal of the holy roman empire. Not to forget he was a one man army who won all the duels he made, more than 300, and made a onr man stand against a french army because he was angry with his superior, killing between 200 to 500 french alone. Plus he was so angry with the king Ferdinand the catholic that he dared to a duel to his entire court.
Ngl that guitar version of Hava Nagila goes hard. Took me a minute to realize it was that song, because at first I thought it was that song that plays at the start of Pulp Fiction.

Love watching your videos 😀. If you were able to view this comment, i hope that you'll be able to add subtitles in the future because there are some words and names that I can't understand because of accent 😞 thank you and I hope you see this 😊.
It was weird, when you showed Brigham Young in the demonstration of people claiming to be the Messiah. President Young never claimed to be a Messiah, he only claimed to be the proper next in line to be the Prophet after Joseph Smith.
This is old thinking. Everybody knows the modern way of becoming a messiah is to start a corporation that stretches its workforce thin while telling them they're lucky to work there. You act as the charismatic leader, the workforce strives to make the company succeed despite your efforts, and twitter worships you as god. Really, religion is a tired and tawdry road to this goal. There are a few tacky megachurches pulling it off, but the market is small. If you want to go all the way, you need to embrace the darker corners of unregulated capitalism and celebrity worship, and do it with a gusto and apparent ease that speaks down to the masses.
"Everyone who is listening to John now they're going to listen to Jesus." Well not everyone because there were a group of follower of John based in the Jordan river who decided that John was the Messiah and they thought this Jesus guy was sent by the demiurge the take John's messiah spotlight and they became the Mandaens.
Shabatai Zevi actually did have a hype man, Nathan of Gaza, who propelled his legend to the degree where thousands of jews actually did believe he was the messiah. Even after his conversion to islam actually, since Nathan told everybody he was infiltrating Islam to reform and redeem the entire religion. This video really sold short how much he did right to be the messiah. ESOTERICA has at least one in-depth video on the subject, though if memory serves it ended up being a two-parter. It's around episode 8 or so of his lecture series on Jewish mysticism.
