I am influenced by what happens in this world and my personal experience, however most of what I think and do is based on all things converging.. but getting back to Dylan as being some type of religious messenger is as far from the truth as anyone can get. If you listen closely to his Modern Times Album, the best in 10+ years, he has not changed any of his views, because we really do not know what his views are.. once people think they understand Bobby then he changes again.

Go back and re-check his music of the late 70s-early 80s. He did attempt to experience Christianity, attended some study, participated in some events; and these efforts were reflected in his music around that time.

(some examples; there are more)
But he also had a big burden to bear, having been as snarky as he was prophetic in his earlier days. To be humble as a little child is not easy for grown men and women, but it IS necessary in order to find God and enter His world of eternal love and grace. Unfortunately, Bob did not stay focused on his long-term goal, and abandoned his exploration of the higher realms. But I still have hope for him.
