In the rubble of two world wars and the establishment of the modern state of Israel, a relatively nascent theological system exploded in popularity in America: Dispensationalism.
While dispensationalism traces its roots back to the mid-19th century and steadily grew in popularity in the beginning of the 20th century, it was only with Hal Lindsey’s 1970 book “The Late Great Planet Earth”, published at the height of Cold War fears and the threat of nuclear apocalypse, that its ideas firmly gripped the American consciousness.
For Hal Lindsey, the supposed return of Israel to the land, the recapture of ancient Jerusalem, and the evangelism of the known world pointed to an imminent rapture and the end of days.
It is understandable that in a world teetering on the brink of mutually assured nuclear annihilation, books full of apocalyptic prophecy caught on. But here we are a generation later, the Cold War long over, and many Christians are realizing that we are in this for the long haul. And one of the first orders of business is convincing our leaders that the dispensationalist framing they assumed from decades prior no longer works.
A case in point of the collision of dispensationalism with the new right wing is Texas Senator Ted Cruz. Cruz sat down for an interview with Tucker Carlson this past week, thinking the same old answers about blessing Israel and describing them as our greatest ally would work. Spoiler alert: they didn’t.
