      No kidding.

      I remember dad making me read some book proving the end times were here because Saddam was Nebuchadnezzar reborn (the proof was their silhouettes looking similar). So much “whore of Babylon” stuff.

      He recently sent me a YouTube video of a guy talking about the valley of Jehoshaphat and Trump heralding the end times.

      It never ends.

        I grew up with all of these idiotic Nostradamus shows and books that claimed he was foretelling the end of the world in our times. Of course his predictions were so vaguely worded you could slap them anywhere in history.

        The book of Revelations is a feast for people who love to interpret symbolism.
