The Apocalyptic Prophecies of Joanna Southcott,Born in 1750 in Devon, England, Joanna Southcott believed that she had a special supernatural gift, the gift of prophecy and revelation.  She wrote prophecies in rhyme, much like another famous seer named Nostradamus.  She became famous, writing 60 books containing prophecies and her religious teachings.  Then Joanna took her prophecies to the next level by claiming she was the woman who would give birth to the Second Jesus as described in Revelations 12:1-6.  Even though she was 64 years old, she affirmed that she was pregnant with the Christ child, and amazingly people believed her.  She predicted that she would give birth to the Christ on October 19th, 1814, which would set about a chain of events that would lead to Armageddon, and thus Christ’s Heavenly Kingdom on Earth.Joanna Southcott managed to amass a following of over 100,000 believers.  According to the Book of Revolution 144,000 anointed people would be saved.  Joanna anointed her followers as being among the 144,000 saved at the cost of 11 shillings a person.  Then on the big date that the birth of the second Christ was to occur, Joanna Southcott died unexpectedly.Undeterred, her followers guarded the body and refused that it be buried, believing that she would be resurrected to fulfill the prophecy.  Finally on December 26th, 1814 her followers allowed her rotting corpse to be removed and buried. A coroner’s examination determined that she was not pregnant.  After Southcott’s death her movement continued, and only waned by the late 19th century.  A small number of hardcore believers still follow her movement today. -- source link
