Jonas Bendiksen INRI Cristo at the end of a prayer session in the compound chapel. INRI (born Alvaro Theiss) takes his first name from the initials of the inscription the Romans placed on the cross to spite him 2,
(...) 000 years ago: Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum, or Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews. The first awakening as the Christ came already in 1979 during a fast in Santiago of Chile, and INRI subsequently spent many years as a wandering preacher before settling in New Jerusalem, which is located outside of Brasilia. Most of the dozen or so disciples who live inside INRI’s compound are women. While the 69-year old Saviour and his followers live a private and secluded life, they are also busy disseminating his teachings to the world via the Internet, using YouTube, music videos and live broadcasts of sermons.
