Homer Tomlinson

Homer Aubrey Tomlinson (October 25, 1892 – December 5, 1968), was a leader in the Church of God of Prophecy, a Pentecostal Holiness Christian denomination founded by his father, Ambrose Jessup Tomlinson in 1922. His younger brother, Milton Ambrose Tomlinson, was decided by its presbytery to be God's chosen successor for General Overseer in 1944. The two brothers did not get along, so Homer founded his own splinter "Church of God" denomination around the same time and became its bishop. His Church of God group was headquartered in Queens Village, New York until his death in 1968, when it relocated to Huntsville, Alabama.

He founded the Theocratic Party and was its candidate for U.S. President for elections from 1952-1968. On October 7, 1966, Bishop Tomlinson planned to crown himself King of the World or "King of All Nations of Men" in Jerusalem.

He was born on October 25, 1892 in Westfield, Indiana to Ambrose Jessup Tomlinson.

In 1962 at the University of British Columbia he declared himself "King of UBC" and "King of the World".

He died on December 5, 1968 at the Manhattan Veterans Hospital.
