The Lord Our Righteousness Church, sometimes called the Strong City Cult, is a splinter group of the Seventh-day Adventist Church located in a community they call "Strong City", near Travesser Park, Union County, New Mexico. The community consists of approximately fifty people. Its charismatic leader, Michael Travesser (Wayne Bent), is believed by his followers to be the biblical messiah. Travesser said, "I am the embodiment of God. I am divinity and humanity combined."^[1]

It was recently featured on National Geographic's show Inside a Cult, talking about how Wayne led his followers to believe that the world would end on 2007-10-31. Bent got that date after calculating a Bible end of the world prophesy number (490) and adding it to the year 1517, when the the Protestant Reformation began, yielding 2007 as a result. The origins of the specific date October 31 comes from the day that Martin Luther produced his 95 Theses. The Strong City people deny that any such prediction of the end of the world occurred. They say, instead, that the prophetic prediction was for the "last trump" which they believe they are now in. They point to the movies about them as evidence that this judgment day has arrived as prophesied. They believe that men are judged by how they judge the people at Strong City.

The group's website contains frequently updated writings and videos, including a nearly two-hour long documentary entitled Experiencing the Finished Work.^[2]
