In recent weeks, social media has been buzzing with viral TikTok videos of a man known as “Brother Enigma”.

It all started with a viral video of him that was shared on TikTok when he appeared as a guest on the podcast Daily Hustle by Chris Network on YouTube.

Brother Enigma’s outspoken opinions about Jesus, as well as his Bible quotations, are what sparked the entire craze around him.

According to the prophet, whose name is still unknown, he is a self-proclaimed prophet who claims to have seen Jesus with his own eyes.

He has relayed a number of messages from Him, primarily listing what He does not approve of. These include conventional modern day practises such as using perfume, going to the gym, using condoms, women wearing pants and people having tattoos.

In all episodes of the podcast, the prophet is seen holding a notebook in which he claims to write all the messages he receives from God, as well as the Bible, which he uses to read verses related to his teachings.

“Jesus does not want us to go to the gym, anywhere in the world where there is a gym, once the doors open for people to train, the demon also goes in,” he said in one episode.

He added that demons are built like body builders; therefore, people who go to the gym are infiltrated by the spirits of demons.

“When you cut your hair, don’t trim it because God does not want people to trim their hair.

“It is written in the book of Leviticus,” he said.

From people who go to the gym to those who cut their hair in a fade, the prophet lists a number of provocative claims that mainly condemn everyday modern living, saying these are messages he receives from Jesus.

Using cologne, going to the gym, using condoms, celebrating Christmas, wearing All Star Converse sneakers, women wearing pants or short skirts, people with tattoos, people with gold teeth, soccer players, and women who wear wigs are among the things the prophet claims God disapproves of.

People have had different reactions to his messages from God; some agree, while others find it all amusing.

Evangelist Molele Paul commented on TikTok: “As long as Brother Enigma is telling you about RAPTURE, my good people, take this man very seriously. I have observed that all he is teaching is preparation for us for RAPTURE.”

Princesthembiso6 commented: “Jeremiah 52 vs 31 he is right no knows when Jesus was born coz it was hidden from the world for his safety,keep telling u 90% of the things this guy is saying is true.”

Katlego Kotsedi wrote: “Does this guy really think our physical bodies are gonna leave this earth?”

“Brother Enigma” is the name he goes by, which is truly fitting because he is a mysterious man, and not many people understand him or the word he shares.
