He is once again a religious nutjob that believes that Jesus is coming to blow up the world and take him directly from his mom's basement to heaven.

Israel was also supposed to become a nation, which it wasn't until 1948.
Christianity didn't spread around the world until the early 1900's.
A world government couldn't have formed until recently because we didn't have globalization until the 1900's.
The big one out of all the numerous requirements is Israel reborn. The generation that sees this occur will not pass. So either Christ will return before people born in 1948 die, or the Bible is a bunch of lies and it will never happen.
I guess we have 30 years until they all die off and we get our answer.

I really missed this orbital.
I felt that it was his best incarnation.
