Jesus Christ is “alive” and living in KwaZulu Natal. That’s according to Moses Hlongwane a man from Eshowe in northern KwaZulu-Natal who is claiming to be the so called reincarnation of Jesus Christ. He has already gathered over a dozen disciples and set up a compound in the town and is being accused of tearing families apart.

Hlongwane told E News Channel Africa (eNCA) he, like Christ, spent years in the wilderness and has been resurrected as the Son of God. "I was in this room from 1992 and have spent 22 years in a fight with the devil and have overcome him," said Hlongwane.

"As I speak to you I will never see death and I am now getting ready for the opening of the graves and healing of blind and lame."

One of his disciples is 84-year-old Paul Sibiya, who gives his entire pension to Hlongwane. He says he and many of those living in the compound are on government grants. "I am a pensioner, however, I don't use it (social grant) to support my wife but I give to the king of kings as a financial boost," he said.

The disciples said their mission was to get the whole world to acknowledge Hlongwane as the legitimate Jesus Christ.

The descension of Sayyidena Eesa (A.S.) falls in the category of the major signs of Qiyamah. Radio Islam’s Mufti Yusuf Moosagie said that Hlongwane’s claim is a sign of apostasy and totally contradictory to the teaching of  Quraan and hadith

Allah SWT says in the Quraan, “That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah; but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not”:-  Surah An-Nisaa verse 157

Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (R.A.) narrates that Rasulullah (SAW) said, "By Him in whose hands is my soul, the time is near when Ibn Maryam (Eesa A.S.) will descend upon you; he will rule over you with justice; he will break the Cross and kill the pigs; He will end all battles. There will be such an abundance of wealth during his rule that there will be no takers; The value of one Sajda in the eyes of the people will be much greater than the world and what it Contains."
