Wife wants divorce from 666 tattooing 'Antichrist'
CNN's John Zarrella reports the estranged wife of man who claims to be the 'second coming' says he's no God.
MIAMI — Josefina De Jesus Torres gently runs her perfect French manicure across the pages of her wedding album, ruminating on life as the wife of the self-proclaimed Antichrist.
In one picture, church leader Jose Luis De Jesus Miranda pulls off her garter with his teeth. In another, the couple sip frothy champagne in front of a gleaming limo.
Now, though, the romance that De Jesus told her was divinely decreed has ended in the most temporal of battlefields: divorce court. And, amid court revelations about his personal spending, Torres is speaking out publicly about life with the controversial Miami-based preacher.
The Miami Herald reported last week that Torres' legal action has forced her husband, head of the multinational Growing in Grace ministry, to give testimony that for the first time reveals how he paid personal expenses with donations to his tax-exempt church.
De Jesus gained international notoriety by declaring himself to be Jesus Christ in 2004, then later claiming to be the Antichrist. His theory: As he is the Second Coming, his teachings supersede those of Jesus.
De Jesus declined to be interviewed about his finances or his wife's allegations. But in a sermon last week, he said his wife is trying to destroy him because she doesn't truly believe in him. His church deputies also deny any wrongdoing.
