Alan John 'AJ' Miller (1963–) is an Australian Christian spiritual leader who has claimed to be the resurrected Jesus Christ[1].
He is the leader of Divine Truth, a Christian organisation based in Kingaroy, Queensland, which he founded in 2007. He currently has around 100 - 150 followers, and is accompanied by his wife who is "convinced" that she is Mary Magdalene. She had never regarded herself as such prior to meeting Miller.
Miller has claimed to be the resurrected Jesus, and can remember 'everything' that has occurred over the past 2000 years. Despite this claim, he claims to be unable to speak Aramaic, the language spoken by Jesus.
Miller has also claimed to have met many prominent historical figures during the afterlife, including Plato, Socrates and Aristotle.
False predictions[edit]
Like many good cult leaders, Miller has made numerous 'prophecies' that have turned out to be false.[2]
In 2012, he claimed that tsunamis as high as 100 metres would devastate the coasts of Australia. He also encouraged his followers to see the science fiction disaster film 2012, as he claimed the events of the film regarding the end of the world would literally eventuate.
Cult accusations[edit]
Cult expert Reverend David Millikan[3] expressed concerns around Miller’s potential to break up families, stating: “He is surrounded by people who have walked out of marriages and businesses. They have forsaken all to follow Jesus”. He also told told Sky that: "The danger is you'll be drawn closer and closer into his web to a point that you lose access to your social life, you spend all your money, you'll have the curses of all your family ringing in your ears and you may well lose your relationship."[4] Miller denies such accusations and states: "I still for the life of me can't quite understand where the cult thing has come from. There were lots of people in the first century who didn't believe I was the Messiah and were offended by what I said - and in fact I died at the hands of some of them."
