In an urban, Northern California city in the early 70's there was a man that people said thought of himself as Abraham or another of the "worthies" that were going to return to Earth. But us younger folk were told to stay away from him because he was crazy.

By the way, I claim to be both John The Baptist and Mary, I'm hermaphrodite.

wha happened?
In service we used to bump into a guy who claimed to be Elijah. We'd ignore him for the most part and he'd usually find some other nut to argue with at the burger stand where we found him most often.
One day he was more obnoxious than usual so when he made his claim to Elijah, one of my buddies retorted "Jesus said Elijah was John the Baptist, are u him as well?" He replied: "Yes, I mean no, I mean....... AAAAAUUUUUUUGGGGHHHHH!" and stomped off siting in the corner glaring at us while we ate lunch.

While I did meet a lot of delusional people there I cannot remember anybody claiming to be an actual biblical character.
The only thing like it I remember is back when they had talks on marriage, the speaker would say 'brothers if you are looking for Sarah you better be Abraham'.

It all sounds laughably crazy by now - but remember: The craziness of this organization over the years cannot be overstated.
In all seriousness - in the thirties, they used to think that the elders of the old testament were actually being resurrected in the flesh - and here on earth.
Joe Rutherford's estate Beth Saarim was justified partly as a "home for the worthies of the Bible as they were coming back".
I have heard real stories about little kids who would look at some old hillbilly with a long beard at a convention and wonder if he was maybe Daniel, King Saul, or somebody.
