Kind of hard to show someone all the kingdoms of earth from a tall mountain on a round planet. Easier to do on a flat one. The authors of the bible thought the earth was flat.
Wondering how he and Jeebus saw America, and I do believe it was the Inca's or the Aztec's in central/south America who had some great kingdoms as well.
Meh..dogschild will just ignore it or call it a dream sequence, or something like "only the kingdoms around Israel mattered during that historical time" or some other fucked up excuse to justify belief in his fictional hero Jeebus.
