About this episode
This week on Fortean Winds, Bones and RamX dive into the strange history of how the apocalypse became a product — sold in books, sermons, politics, and even foreign wars. We trace it back to the Scofield Reference Bible and its role in popularizing dispensationalism, Christian Zionism, and the rapture theology that still shapes American culture and geopolitics today. Along the way, we uncover the controversial life of Cyrus Scofield, the extremist roots of John Nelson Darby, and how prophecy moved from fringe theology to mainstream political power. Was the Iraq War influenced by end-times theology? How do charlatans and influencers still profit off selling doomsday today? Join us as we unravel the theology, the history, and the marketplace of the apocalypse.
And I think we got out of this one without promising links..but how about one regarding Angels. Everybody loves Angels.
