'''False messiah''' is a term from the [[Bible]] describing a person who either unintededly or willfully pretends to be the real Messiah, or behaves in a manner which would suggest to many that he is the Messiah, often ending in disaster. Altough religious in origin, the title has been given to many secular leaders past and present, among them [[Benito Mussolini]], [[Adolf Hitler]], [[Kim Jong Il]], and most recently, [[Barack Obama]].
