    New Zealand's Christian community is abuzz with reports of a mysterious hitchhiker who has been thumbing rides on the North Island. "The bloke they've picked up will say something like, 'did you know the Lord is coming back?' and that's the only thing the fellow says," reports journalist Brian Finn who's been investigating the incidents.

    "Then he vanishes from the speeding car." He's appeared on several main roads, always to young Christian
    couples. Some have said the stranger was wearing "shining white clothes", although no one has been able to describe his exact appearance. Two articles in New Truth, a New Zealand newspaper, discussed the hitchhiker among a number of other possible 'miracles' signifying the presence of Christ in the world.

    In the second article, subtitled "Vanishing hitchhiker who talks of Jesus is London 'prophet' Maitreya", this 'prophet' is linked to the appearances of crosses of light throughout the world* and Saddam Hussein's recent dream of Mohammed**.
