Thousands of years ago in the Middle East, one Religious Leader appered promising peace on Earth.
“That’s great!” said his followers.
Behind them, a dark, sinister stranger chuckled. “Peace? I don’t think you’ve quite got the idea. These Religious Leaders will keep you at war with each other until eventually I can take full control.”
Fearfull, they asked, “When will that be?”
“Oh… 2024, or perhaps early 2025, probably. And by the way, I have special plans for you people here.”
