An Uber driver’s accidentally biblical name inspired some proper hall of fame responses
The Uber app has changed the private hire business completely, with millions of drivers registering since it was launched in 2009, making it to the UK three years later.
It’s hardly surprising, then, that interesting driver names crop up from time to time – like this one.
The screenshot was shared on Twitter a few years ago by producer and director, Daniel Powell, gaining more than 70,000 retweets in a few days.

It didn’t seem right that his arrival could be predicted so accurately.
But no one is supposed to know the time or the place!

And with Uber, no one does.

Someone noticed his transport, which wasn’t a donkey.
In a Hyundai Elantra no less.

His cab overfloweth.

As @teedubya101 pointed out, it didn’t quite match what was foretold in the scriptures.
“No, no, no, Jesus drives a Honda but doesn’t brag about it. “For I did not speak of my own accord” John 12:49.”
And there’s always that second coming.
Don't worry if you missed him – he'll be back

Blair Jones wasn’t so fortunate with another biblical-sounding driver.

At the end of the journey, Daniel gave Christ an excellent rating.
Update: I gave him 5 stars and tipped him but I think I’m gonna stay Jewish. pic.twitter.com/I5ExzdzJIc

We’d presumed he would have given him one star – shining in the East.
