Selling the Apocalypse – From Scofield to Now

from Fortean Winds · host RamX

Send us Fan Mail 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.https://forteanwinds.com/2022/08/29/angelic-descriptions-in-the-bible/Support the showRead more and follow our sources to research paths of your own at Fortean Winds Our UFO Research Summary.

Winds Of Change Wyoming Humanities | ThinkWY The Winds of Change podcast is centered on the people, places, history, and stories of Wyoming. We talk about identity, community, land, change and what it means to thrive in the state. How does someone identify with wide spaces and big personalities in small towns? Listen to folks from across our state share their connection to Wyoming and home. Or others who are pining for opportunities to invite change. And still, there are many voices who welcome the challenge. Making a life here means persistence. Some families have been here for generations and stay true, heads held high, through the blustery winters. Others are newcomers making sense of the unfamiliar winds the world continually blows in. Heart of the Ronin Travis Heermann Thirteenth-century Japan is a dangerous place, even in a time of peace. Capricious gods, shape-changing animals, and bloodthirsty demons are as real and unpleasant as a gang of vicious bandits. From the wilderness emerges a young, idealistic warrior with his father’s mysterious sword on his hip, a wise, sarcastic dog at his side, and a yearning in his heart to find a worthy master. He dreams only of being samurai. Little does he suspect the agony and glory that await him when his dreams come true.Finding a master should be easy for a warrior as skilled as Ken’ishi, but the generations-long wars for the Imperial throne have ended. The land has settled into an uneasy peace and cast multitudes of proud, powerful warriors to the four winds. The new peace means that these masterless warriors, ronin, often must stoop to crime and banditry to feed themselves. Ken’ishi finds himself plagued by the hatred and mistrust of peasants and samurai alike.When he saves a noble maiden from a p 2 Sisters on Adventures 2 Sisters on Adventures Molly and Carrie are sisters who discovered a love for hiking, backpacking and exploring wild places together.
