the end of the world, the final apocalypse. it's been part of the imagination, in every age there's preachers and prophets who have cried that the end is nigh. people who predicted humanity's demise and claim to know exactly wh it's going to happen. >> the world is coming to an end. >> there are always believers, those who rally and sacrifice everything, even their lives for it. and yet, through all of those prophesies. we're still here. i'm on the big island in hawaii to look into the ideas of one

such self-proclaimed prophet, and those who believe in him to try to understand the anatomy of a doomsday cult. >> reza aslan is a best-selling author. muslim and american. >> what's your reaction here? >> i've been studying the world's religions for 20 years, and now, i'm going to live them. i've been coming to hawaii for years. there's no place on earth that i feel closer to creation. there's a sense of spirituality,

of devine presence. you can feel it in the soil. the big island especially ten to foster new age spiritual gatherings and off the grid co. one of these is called sinnerland, also known as rainbow village. it's run by a self-proclaimed prophet who calls himself jezus. that's jezus with a z. and that's who i've come here to find. i'll take an all beef. aloha. so, i'm here like talking to people about spirituality and religions that come out of this island. have you ever met this dude n e namnam named jezus with a z. do you know who i'm talking about. >> he's got a lot of followers. oh my god, he was told to build an arc. i used to laugh at him, but you

know, it's foolish laughing anymore until you see what they really have. >> the guys at the hot dog stand filled me in on jezus. about 15 years ago, jezus with a z bought a three acre piece of property here on the big island. since then, he's gathered disciples from all over the world. united by a doomsday prophesy. a vision that he has about the end of the world. guys like him are pretty rare, even more rare is finding one who's still alive, let alone willing to talk. about 20 years ago, a radio evangelist by the name of harold campaign convinced his followers that jesus christ was about to return to toert rapture blooefrs. >> the bible says there will be great earthquakes, islands will be removed from their place. the peoples of the earth will be terribly frightened, they'll be

calling for the rocks to crush them. >> he used the bible to calculate the exact date that the world would come to an end. he was wrong. we're still here. funny when i was a kid, you heard about cults all the time. it was all this anxiety and fear about your kids being swept away in some religious cult being brainwashed, taken away from you. remember jim jones? he claimed to have visions that the world would end on july 15, 1967. it didn't. yet, far from abandoning him, his followers doubled down. they moved together to the jungles of guyana and built a commune called jonestown. a few years later, the end did come, though not through god's hands. jones convinced his congregation to drink kool aid laced with

cyanide. over 900 men, women, and children, died in that jungle. and then there was david. >> i'm sorry some of you guys got shot, but, hey, god will have to sort that out, won't he? >> his followers called the branch gathered in waco, texas, in 1982 to prepare for the eminent end of the world. >> it's true, i do have a lot of children. it's true i do have a lot of wives. >> he believed that he himself was the second coming of the messiah. >> the book of revelations isn't in the future. god will sit on a thrown. and he'll have a book with seven in his right hand, and he gave that book to the land. >> your followers believe you are the lamb, is that correct? >> there is a reason for that. >> when the government found out about the cache of weapons, it

didn't end well. four years later, the world met marshall applewhite, known to his followers as do. >> we'll title this tape planet earth, about to be recycled. your only chance to survive or evacuate is to leave with us. >> applewhite believed there was an alien spaceship following behind the comet, just waiting to transport his followers on board. but first, they had to shed their bodies. 39 of them did just that. in a mass suicide. >> i guess really in the end when you think the word cult, you have this idea of some closed, evil organization under some master mind who's controlling the minds of all of

these people who've totally subsooned their identity into his for some kind of insidious design. it's not every day you get to interview a cult leader, let alone a doomsday prophet. this is an opportunity that i just can't pass up. i guess this is it. aloha. i'm za. >> good, i'm doing good. welcome, welcome. welcome to the trib >> aloha. welcome home. >> how are you, man? >> good to see you. how are you? >> wonderful. >> thanks for having me here. >> good day in paradise. this is amazing. >> welcome to our rainbow village. >> thank you, it's beautiful, man. >> follow me. >> just drink it right out?

>> welcome to our tribe. we watch people like you from all around the world. >> how many people would you say are here? >> 30, 40 right now. >> do you feel like more and more people are starting to come -- >> yes. this year we've had more than ever before come in. >> why do you think that is? >> i think the time in the year right now is a sense of urgency in the air. the symptom is coming. aloha, mama. we have mama's kids, old people, young people. no one really leaves. >> no one really leaves, huh? >> about how big is the compound? >> this is the three acres. what did all of this used to be? >> that is all used to be is flat like this. >> and nothing by cinder. >> this was just basically -- >> rock. >> volcanic ash. >> well, how did it become all of this then? jezus. >> jezus built all of this. planted all the trees -- >> planted all the trees. >> you're telling me everything that i see here -- >> yes. >> was put here by him? >> yeah. the started like that.

and with the help of the tribe, yeah, we've made -- >> that's amazing. >> we've made a whole forest. >> how many years? >> about 15. >> it's hard for me to imagine what this looked like 15 years ago because i mean, this is a jungle. i'm not sure what i expected, but it wasn't this. what started out as three acres of ash and cinder is now a living, breathing forest with over 20 structures. dorms for men, women, and children. >> we've got fruit trees. coconut trees. this is o of our dorm spaces, just for women only. good's sanctuary we call it. >> nice. >> this is my bedroom dorm space also. bed over here. another bed on the other side. private camp for mama and son lives here. >> oh, nice. and this is just them. >> this is just them. right here where you can get

close to nature. close to spirit. this is our solar tower power station. storm the batteries. and we usually use them for just for lighting and stuff like that. >> that's great. >> and we have gardens back here. >> what are you guys growing? >> name it. we have lettuce. tomatoes. beans. sprouts. kale. does start to come in, run around stuff so we keep them raised. we have copper around the edges. >> keeps them out. >> this is our food safe right here. >> this is the fridge. >> hawaiian fridge. >> fresh fruit right off the vine. >> is jezus here, can i meet him? i'd love to meet him. >> in time. in time. >> all good things come for those who wait. >> i hear music down here. >> welcome home. >> aloha.

>> many different kinds of people end up at cinder land. for the most part, young, progressive. there are more men than women. ocean told me that normally there are a lot more people living on the compound. but right now, it's harvest season in california, and a lot of the cinder landers are on the mainland making money on marijuana farms. money that they'll bring back to the tribe for food and materials. some folks here are just passing through. they have no interest in jezus's prophesy, but others are hard core believers. when did y g here? >> 11 years ago. >> where are you from? >> california originally. >> oh yeah. what were you doing? >> before i was a technician. yeah, automotives technician. nothing wild watching people living on tv, what i am living for? all of this stuff. i wanted to say the word jezus without people freaking out. >> did he talk about his belief and prophesies? >> oh yeah? >> what did you think?

methodology, but it's also theatrical and ballsy. the mark of every good doomsday cult leader. >> you be careful. >> okay. lead the way. >> okay. >> spirits all over these lands. very magical, very powerful, this place is. >> coa says these caves are haunted by the lost and restless ghosts of human souls. >> secret, very secret. >> i'm not afraid of ghosts, but i am afraid of drowning. these caves are subran it area, right now about 50 feet underground. last night there was a flash flood and if it rains again, i'll be under water. i guess this is my bed here, huh? >> yep. >> all right. aloha. >> find a place to get

aloha, jezus. >> jezus. >> thank you so much for talking to me finally. i've been searching everywhere for you around here. this place is kind of amazing. >> this is my most sacred place

at cinder land. they told me that you built this basically from nothing. >> no, that's a lie. we built it from nothing. it was me and about 1,000 other volunteers. give or take. you know a few. >> so tell me, where were you born? >> i was born in the ukraine can, mexico. i was a good boy. i spent ten years and india, in central america, you know. >> yeah. >> you know, that's what i did in my 20s. >> how did you come here? >> here? >> yeah. >> that's a long story. >> tell me. >> i'm responsible for everything that happens here, you know. >> it's a part of you. >> it is. and it's 15 years old, you know, and it's evolving. it's growing. you know. it's teaching so much to so many people. it's a success story. >> thank you. >> there you go. >> you know what i mean, in a world of so much failure, this is one -- >> yeah. i'm really interested in this

message that you were -- >> i have so much to share with you. so much. >> i spoke with jezus for over two hours, and he began normal enough, but then things took a turn. >> i'm not going to preach right now to you. i'm going to come from the eye place. i don't take responsibility for it. i believe that my father is the son. the heat, the fire, you know. >> uh-huh. >> and then, i believe in the goddess. they call her paisly here in hawaii, but it all starts right there with her fire. her fire. >> this is where things got really weird. >> i am the messiah. i am the king. >> the more he preached, the more manic and theatrical he became. he started working himself up into aer inner have, and there was little for me to do but just to stand back and watch the

show. >> i guide for my sins. not a [ bleep ] biological death, obviously. >> and then, finally, wet got to the prophesy. >> i'm a prophet. i believe in my prophesy. i had a vision, a dream, of things to come. >> what did it look like? what did you see? >> i saw that the destruction of the entire planet by an ecological apocalypse. millions died of fire. millions more drowned. they choked, they got smashed by surges that wiped out the entire coastline, the whole planet. there's one [ bleep ] hope. i'm building an arc to escape environmental apocalypse. >> this prophesy is a little bit hard to follow, so let me just summarize it for you. some time in the very near

future, he hasn't set a date, california is going to break off into the ocean. the tsunami that follows will flood the world, at which point, 124 carefully chosen followers will board jezus' arc and sail, which will be a port city due to all the flooding. there he will establish a home base from which to repopulate the planet with the offspring of his followers. >> there's an arc here on this, in this compound. >> yes. we started building the arc. >> can i see it? can i see the arc? >> of course. >> jezus is a lot more unhinged than i expected. there is definitely something compelling about him been something that is attracted all of these followers. to be honest, he kind of reminds me of charles manson, that they look alike is undenial, but his speech patterns and energy are similar. >> are you jesus christ? >> which jesus? there's a black jesus down in florida, he's having a good

time. there's a mexican jesus in mexico. i mean, there's all kinds of jewish jesus, i mean, jesus, you know, all kind of jesus coming back everywhere. another gastapa. it's a conscious thanks lives in your mind. >> people forget that whatever else manson was, he was also a doomsday prophet. he predicted that the end of the world would be triggered by a massive race war. he and his followers planned to wait out armageddon in the desert and repopulate once everyone else was gone. >> this is the reason why we're going to survive right here. this is what's going to save us. plastic. right, expectancy. 1,000 years. >> so this will just be one piece, one piece of the larger structure? >> yeah. >> of the super structure. what i call the arc mata. >> how many more like this do you need? >> 20. >> 20 more just like this. >> exactly. 20 me. >> jezus's arc is bically a

series of plywood platforms latched on to recycled plastic barrels. the plan is to float the arc out to sea, all in the midst of an apocalyptic tsunami. they've been working on this arc for many years, in fact, this is their third design, in the past, they've hauled prototypes tout a local bay for sea trials. one thing to note is that cinderland itself is the arc. when jezus gives the final word that the end times are nigh, all the structures at cinderland will be disassembled and the material used to make the final arc. this is all recycled material from the camps we live in. >> why not use what you've got? >> i got to give jezus credit, as far-fetched as this plan may be, he has these devoted followers who are willing to put their blood, sweat, and tears into realizing his vision.

>> are we going [ bleep ] make it? >> oh yeah we're going to make it, jezus. >> do you believe in the prophesy? >> of course. >> the supreme commander in chief? >> i do. >> commander of the ss arc? >> look, he's either getting messages from the gods or he's bat [ bleep ] crazy, but no reason why you can't be both. i mean, he's got people around him, obviously, they believe what he has to say. >> this arc, i mean, this [ bleep ] arc. you all saw the arc, right? i really don't know what i've gotten myself into here. i really don't. this is one gorgeous truck. special edition. oh, did i say there's only one special edition?

had a bad back injury, my doctor prescribed opioids which helped with the chronic pain, but backed me up big-time. tried prunes, laxatives, still constipated... had to talk to my doctor. she said, "how long you been holding this in?" (laughs) that was my movantik moment. my doctor told me that movantik is specifically designed for oic and can help you go more often. don't take movantik if you have a bowel blockage or a history of them. movantik may cause serious side effects, including symptoms of opioid withdrawal, severe stomach pain and/or diarrhea, and tears in the stomach or intestine. tell your doctor about any side effects and about medicines you take. movantik may interact with them causing side effects. why hold it in? have your movantik moment. talk to your doctor about opioid-induced constipation. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help.

today is the start of a religious retreat. i guess jezus calls these every once in a while. they pick up camp and they come down here. somebody told me the last one lasted 30 days. the truth is i don't really know what to thinkbout jezus right now. he obviously believes his

vision. he obviously believes his prophesy, i guess other people do too. not that crazy to think that we're destroying the environment. >> jezus's prophesy stems from a fear of climate change, and that makes sense. end of the world prophets have often been inspired by current events and climate change as scary as it gets. as global warming gets worse, i wouldn't be surprised if we see more self-proclaimed saviors with prophesies like his. >> down just a little bit. >> great for that muching and basket weaving and making hats and stuff. >> donald is the chief architect of the arcmada. he's been with jezus for more than five years. maybe he can shed some light on what it is that makes jezus worth following. >> so yeah, if you want, question grab these, take them over toward the camp.

>> so i finally got to talk to jezus. is he always like that? >> no, he's not always like that. generally jezus, he's really grounded. he's a very intelligent person. when he's passionate about something, sometimes his emotions kind of get away from him. he acts out quite a bit. i've known jezus for years, and even with me, sometimes if i don't do something exactly whatever's in his head, he has a tendency to kind of, you know, kind of flip out just a little bit. >> let me ask you a question. >> okay. >> do you believe the prophesy? >> as far as, you know, the prophesy, and the seas rising, i hope he's wrong, but, you know, it's pretty evident that stuff is going on. and, you know, jezus wants know build an arc, 20 arcs, i'm all about it. jezus has really hooked me up. when i met him five years ago, i was going through a divorce, isolated up in maine in the cabin in the middle of winter. on the verge of suicide. i was having a miserable life. i was playing around online, saw a website for rainbow village, i

called up jezus and had an hour and a half conversation and hit it off immediately. and so he said come on down. he saved my life. and so, i mean, and i owe him quite a bit. >> when you hear something like that, my life was saved by jezus with a z, it becomes hard to just dismiss him as some kind of crack pot. i mean, clearly he has a magnetic personality, a charisma that has drawn people to him from all over the world. people who believe in him. this is jake, he's one of them. what did you think when you first met him? >> oh, i thought he was a bit excentric within just like, anybody else. he can really get passionate and his passion runs hotter than other peoples. he may start screaming at times, that's just because he feels things are eminent. the clock's always ticking. and that's something that a lot of us really don't have.

and he's -- he's really trying to get us to understand, we don't want to have all day. >> when did you first hear the prophesy? >> actually, i first heard the prophesy not too long after i started hanging out at cinderland before i started living there. and for me, it wasn't like a shocking revelation. it was just something that i knew. >> what do you mean? >> i've been pretty much brought up since day one to know that the world's going to end, and basically my lifetime, not so much my mom drilled in, and that i was so worried about the world ending -- >> and tunnel? >> yes. i believed it. entirely. i still do, and -- but the thing is, it might not be the interpretation that my mother had. >> you said that when you heard from your mom about the end

that stuff that all it did was l make you afraid. why doesn't when jezus talk about it, why doesn't that make you afraid? >> because the arc is basically our veszle to survive the storm. and there's no guarantee that we will. but, that's why we're all here. >> i think i need another shot at jezus. i want to see what everybody else sees in him. get him to calm down and talk to me like a person. not like a prophet. maybe i'll wait until he puts on some pants.

>> in l.a. >> i was going to sell the property. we were ready to give all of this up. forget it man, my sister got a jacuzzi and sauna and guest house. i realize, i have the responsibility to provide for my followers. because they're also coming here because they're searching and the same way that i was searching when i was their age. >> what you say is true, that's a lot of suffering about to happen. when you think about that, how do you think about your sister, your mother? don't you feel stressed? >> you worry. you know, you feel sadness. but what can i do, you know, they don't believe in me. they all think i'm nuts, you know. loco. >> listen, i mean, most prophets, their families don't accept them. so that's a pretty normal thing, i would say. >> i'd be blown awa from everybody like instantly like, all hail to the prophet, you know. >> but you don't think you're wrong? >> i don't think so. >> have you thought about what

would happen if something happened to you before the prophesy gets fulfilled? i mean been what happens to all of this? who's going to succeed you? >> i've been busy recruiting. most important for me, apostles. >> they go and preach and come back. >> yeah. they always come back. >> tell me about the stress that's involved in having to keep all of this together, all these people who rely on you, what kind of responsibility do you feel about that? >> it's hard. it's really hard, you know. i have the responsibility to provide for them, food, water, safety, shelter, but you also have to provide spiritually. i feel responsible for their soul. they're there because they believe in my vision. and the fear that i'm going to let them down, you know, it's

hard being a prophet. >> i get it. i see why people are drawn to him. he's clearly charismatic, and what he's built here is truly remarkable. a fully sustainable utopia. people come here because they're searching for answers. they're looking for hope. and jezus offers it to them. no one here is brainwashed. they're free to come and go as they please. i'm certainly not worried that they're going to all drink kool aid and die. but i am curious to see what's going to happen whethe world doesn't end. will this movement continue? will jezus's message change? will it continue to spread? and who will do the spreading? afterall, something similar happened with that other jesus, you know, the one with the s. after his death, his followers

sold all their possessions and lived together, like hippies in a commune. they were waiting for the end to come, but the end didn't come. far from throwing in the towel and calling it a day, they instead started a church. and then a religion. >> so what's this i hear about a spiritual retreat? >> oh yeah, brother. >> we're building the arc, brother. we're building the arc, that's what it's all about. >> this is shannon, jezus's favorite apostle. he's just returned to hawaii after some months on the mainland earning money. >> my apostle has arrived. the rabbit. the little rabbit. >> i missed you,

pig roast. shannon has agreed to local a ranch to get a pig. >> tell me about the first time you meet jezus. >> i met jezus, and that was instant connection, instant, instant, instant connection. the moment i met that man he was like the father figure that, uh, i never really had, you know. >> yeah. >> and i fell in love with the man, you know. >> do you feel as though you got this burden to spread his message to other people? >> i would say that i have no burden at all. i feel i have a wonderful

with ibs with constipation or chronic constipation. it can help relieve your belly pain, and lets you have more frequent and complete bowel movements that are easier to pass. do not give linzess to children under six, and it should not be given to children six to less than eighteen. it may harm them. don't take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain, especially with bloody or black stools. the most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. if it's severe stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. other side effects include gas, stomach-area pain and swelling. talk to your doctor about managing your symptoms proactively with linzess.
