But so I went back, I went through Schofield.
all the way up into now I am in the 30s and I'm talking about Frank Norris who is the guy who ends up influencing this is who Jerry Falwell credits as his kind of like mentor or who he aspired to be and J. Frank Norris actually rejected dispensationalism which is interesting but he is the man who convinced Truman to recognize Israel like he's credited with that
And he's also the man who was able to capitalize on radio.
He had the largest, he was able to reach 20 million people.
He was the first pastor of a mega church in Dallas, Texas.
You've probably never even heard of him.
And this man was unbelievably influential, right?
um and yeah the dispensationalism it does it does get lost a little bit until the 67 war and when the 67 war happens and when the israelis take over the um all of jerusalem it's really wild because it's like everything snaps and um you have people who had been even sympathetic to palestinians up to that point even billy graham wasn't this like hardcore pro-israel person and then
And yet he was pro-Israel, but he wasn't out like these pastors are now by any means.
And then what happens is that in the 67 war, they read into the recapturing of Jerusalem as this is a sign Jesus is coming now.
And you see this mass explosion of movies and books, series that come out in the 70s, 80s and 90s.
that have really laid the groundwork for all of this today.
And yeah, none of it is very organic, but it's also, there's a fusion of pop culture that went along with a lot of it that really helped to propel it into, and this is why I do believe that your boomers are just such hardcore.
They're the hardest ones to reach because they were subjected to this weapons grade propaganda about, in the post 67 era,
just about, you know, this is a sign like Jesus is gonna come back and whatnot.
So yeah, your religious ones, but that was never fused into American policy until about 2005, 2006 is when you actually see like sitting congressmen talking about, you know, we gotta bless Israel to be blessed.
That was never like, nobody ever had to give that reason prior.
It was like, oh, well, you know, there are partners in anti-communism, but sorry, I'm talking a lot.
Right.
Yeah.
