I'm always learning.
Many modern religions believe that they're preparing for the day when something to happen or someone to return.
Ancient civilizations also held the beliefs of a time when something is to happen or someone is to return.
The native Americans have beliefs that "sky people" came to earth and are still paying homage to aliens who will return to earth as was promised 5000 years ago.
Whether middle eastern religious sects or far eastern religions, they all harken back to promises of a return of sorts.
So many commonalities between so many varied beliefs, and yet humanity still seems to be religiously divided along these beliefs.
Perhaps what ever deity or alien will return, will have to wait for humanity to mature another several millennia before returning to fulfill the United prophecy of these religions.
