Revelation Redpill EP 7
How British & American Zionism Created Modern End Times Theology
I realized that this episode never got uploaded to our website! I am reposting it now, in September of 2025 and how fitting, because it is the exact topic we discussed on RRP tonight in episode 106!
Today, no one has done more to support and even create the modern state of Israel than evangelical, Protestant Christians. Historically, though, Jewish people had been wrongfully persecuted by Christians across Europe when something changed in Britain around the turn of the 19th Century that would have worldwide implications. A new religious fervor arose to convert Jews to Christianity- what unfolded was a brand new and intricate theology never taught by Church fathers: Dispensationalism, which included a 7-year tribulation and a secret Rapture separate from the second coming of Christ. We will start with a Jesuit priest named Emmanuel Lancuza who posed as a converted Jew and shaped the theology of Protestant English Christians through a revivalist named Edward Irving. John Nelson Darby is credited with the creation of Dispensationalism, but it was the Scofield Bible, created with the help of Darby’s Plymouth Brethren, that was responsible for this new theology getting in the hands of millions of Protestant Christians in America. These Christians look to events in the Middle East as signs of impending doom, waiting for the Messiah to come back, end the world, and rescue His people from the Anti-Christ. Notably, they believe God has different plans of redemption for Israel and Gentiles- nothing could be further from the truth.
