The return of Christ was probably the fuel that has brought about the various Great Awakenings.

One 'Great Awakening' that people do not talk about involved Christopher Columbus. During his life time, people were looking for Eden were the Garden of Eden was located. When Columbus' ship landed off the coast of mainland America, his crew disembarked and Columbus was positive they had found Eden.

The book Columbus wrote about this subject (translated into English in the 1990's) showed Columbus as an extremely religious person who actually believed that the major change in governments that people pray for would be started by HIM.

I don't quite understand. Are you arguing that the flourishing of the USA (the country that invented spray-on cheese) has been a mass spiritual awakening?

Let's just say "a bit of a long bow" and leave it at that.

Noop, I am not saying that: others have made those sayings.

Just part of history.
