    I maintain it was John the Baptist, who was an Apocalyptic Jew, convincing The Christ that the Apocalypse was definitely going to happen within the next century or two. Despite the fact that Apocalyptic Jews has been expecting the end of the world for almost 3000 years at that point.

      i don’t get how this is a bad thing tho.

      john the baptist didn’t associate violence with his religion. that was the deeply important point i was making at least.

        People expecting the world to end within their lifetimes, tend not to plan long term. Also the Zionists are doing their crap in the middle east trying to bring about the end times.
