This is why I am very suspicous of propechies of this sort. While I obviously can't claim that I know this is what's happening to MacFarlane I do think he most likely lost his faith after the Y2K bug turned out to be a hoax.
His wife is trying to challenge the divorce. The problem of this dangerous subculture in the Church is that it makes it's members base their faith on propehcy and not Jesus Christ and His Holy Church, hence why when the propehcies go unfullfilled their faith dies. We have absoutely no assurance any propehcy outside of Scripture is true, and I think there are way to many people who are 100% certian that Christ will come again at the "dawn of the new milleuim" which is just as vauge as saying He'll come again before all the Apostles die. John's death there was a major loss of faith in the Church. However, the rumor persited, and after St. They based this on a rumor that they had heard that Jesus had propchied that all the Apostles would die aside for John, and then Jesus would come again (John himself clarified this rumor in his gospel vs. One other intresting historcial fact is during the immediate period after Pentecost alot of Christians assumed Christ would come again prior to the end of the Age of the Apostles.
Now, after it didn't happen, he has for some reason lost his faith. You could also tell from the narrator, and his own introduction if you read it, that he was the sterotype for the Y2K bug proponet: an arrogant "you all just know this is going to happen, open your eyes" kind-of-guy. Anyone who has read his books knows he was heavily into modern Marian prohepcies, and if you even started to read House of Gold you know he belived they would all be fullfilled on midnight, Decemwith the Y2K bug. It's obvious to anyone with a brain that MacFarlane has lost his religion. Just an intresting little theory as to why this is going on.
