earthquakes. The new prophecy rekindled his followers, who became excited with the new idea. As opposed to the first prediction, this time his followers made very little commitments to the prophecy, and began making disclaimers even before the 1986 event. When the members gathered on the night before the comet was supposed to enter Earth's orbit, nobody mentioned the comet. Jensen later said that the massive earthquakes were fulfilled by a "spiritual earthquake" when one of his important followers defected and left him. Neal Chase By the 1990s one of Jensen's students had become a protege and began making his own prophecies with Jensen's approval. Throughout the 1990s Neal Chase made a total of 18 predictions which pertained to small-scale disasters that he claimed would lead step-by-step towards apocalypse, as well as dates for a nuclear attack on New York City by middle Eastern terrorists. He based these predictions on Biblical prophecies, evidence from Hopi prophecies, planetary conjunctions, dreams, numerological coincidences, Nostradamus, and psychics. After each failed prediction, the BUPC adherents carried on as usual, giving disclaimers to future predictions, and focusing on Jensen's other teachings. Size and demographics of the Baháʼís Under the Provisions of the Covenant Jensen's followers consisted of roughly 150 people leading up to 1980, but declined in size following the disconfirmed prophecy, with almost all of the believers outside of Montana eventually rejecting Jensen's teachings. By 1990 there were fewer than 100 adherents, and defection continued in the 1990s and beyond. In 1994 a membership phone list showed 66 members in Missoula, Montana, and less than 20 in other states. A leadership dispute from 2001-2005 fractured the few remaining members. Adherents were mostly concentrated in Montana. A Montana university researcher has noted that since 1980, BUPC membership has never exceeded 200 nationwide. During a phone survey by a Harvard researcher, someone representing the community claimed 30 members in the headquarters of Missoula, Montana in 2003, as well as some members in Denver and Alaska. Death and legacy Jensen considered himself restoring the rightful Baháʼí leadership, which he believed had been passed to Remey's adopted son Pepe Remey. Pepe denied this claim, refused association with Jensen's group, and died in 1994 while Jensen was still alive. Jensen approached old age with disconfirmed prophecies, declining membership, and no Guardian to speak of. Jensen began hinting that Neal Chase might be the next Guardian before he died in
