James Jezreel, real name James Rowland White (cir 1851 – 2 March 1885), was a nineteenth-century soldier and self-proclaimed prophet. He started off as a follower of John Wroe signing as a member of the Christian Israelite Church at Chatham 15 October 1875. In the 1880s, White chose the name 'James Jershom Jezreel' as he became convinced that he was a prophet. His followers, known as the Jezreelites, were mainly concentrated in Kent and the south-east of England. A temple was built, Jezreel's Tower, in Gillingham, Kent.〔''Who were the Jezreelites?'', by Nick Rennison, p.95, April 2011, BBC History Magazine〕 ==Further reading== * The tower of mystery surrenders its secrets by Stephen Rayner, Memories page, ''Medway News'', May 2006 *''The Sixth Trumpeter'' by PJ Rogers *The Times *D Roberts, ''Observations on the Divine Mission of Joanna Southcott'' (1807) *R Reece, ''Correct Statement of the Circumstances attending the Death of Joanna Southcott'' (1815) *Library of Biography.
