b'Given recent events in Israel and Palestine, it is inevitable that Christians focused on the Rapture and a Left-Behind-style view of the \\u201cEnd Times\\u201d will begin to draw explicit connections between this war and the so-called \\u201csigns of Christ\\u2019s return.\\u201d Dan is planning at least one more episode on this topic, but in the meanwhile, these two episodes, featuring conversations with four Baby Boomers who lived through the Jesus Movement, ask the question, \\u201cWhy was this End Times view so popular among this group?\\u201d Understanding their situation in the 70s and 80s can help us get a handle on the larger picture.\\n\\n*Re-broadcast* -\\xa0End Times Popularity: Part 2 (#78)\\n\\nOriginal Description:\\nPart 2 of a series that addresses the question, \\u201cWhy was End Times/Left Behind/Rapture theology *so popular* by the time we grew up in the 90s and 2000s?\\u201d Please start with Part 1, last week\\u2019s episode. My main argument: 1. The people whose evangelizing kicked off the Jesus Movement were primarily fundamentalists and they were themselves already very focused on biblical prophecy2. In the early 70s, there was enough global chaos and uncertainty, along with one very important \\u201cfulfilled prophecy\\u201d that made it seem plausible that the world might indeed be coming to a close3. By the time Left Behind came around in the 90s, that same Jesus Movement generation held the primary places of power and influence in Evangelical circles Covered in this episode:- The Jesus Movement generation were the ones with cultural power in the Evangelical world by the time Left Behind came out- A straightforward and literal reading of the Bible is always popular, especially in America, and it plays into a few common American characteristics- Where are they now? All four interviewees relay their current beliefs about the End Times- Sally answers some of the questions the original interview subjects answered in the End Times Anxiety series.\\n\\nYHP End Times Related Episodes:\\n\\nEnd Times Popularity Part 1:\\nhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/you-have-permission/id1448000113?i=1000487665623\\n\\nEnd Times Popularity Part 2:\\nhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/you-have-permission/id1448000113?i=1000488367624\\n\\nEnd Times Anxiety: Part 1:\\nhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/you-have-permission/id1448000113?i=1000462348895\\n\\nEnd Times Anxiety: Part 2:\\nhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/you-have-permission/id1448000113?i=1000463143577\\n\\nEnd Times Anxiety: Part 3:\\nhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/you-have-permission/id1448000113?i=1000463784092\\n\\nEnd Times Anxiety: Part 4:\\nhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/you-have-permission/id1448000113?i=1000464463258\\n\\n\\nThe New Evangelical Episodes on Understanding Israel and Palestine:\\n\\nPart 1:\\xa0\\nhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-new-evangelicals-podcast/id1557794865?i=1000630800157\\n\\nPart 2:\\xa0\\nhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-new-evangelicals-podcast/id1557794865?i=1000631062869\\n\\nPart 3:\\nhttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-new-evangelicals-podcast/id1557794865?i=1000631185579\\n\\n_____________\\nSign up for Tripp and Dan\'s class, \\u201cLive Before You Die: Existentialism in Theology & Psychology\\u201d: exploringexistentialism.com\\n_____________\\nFollow Dan on IG: www.instagram.com/dancoke/\\nOr Twitter: twitter.com/DanKoch\\nFaith deconstruction resources: www.soyouredeconstructing.com/\\nEdited by Josh Gilbert (joshgilbertmedia.com -- he is accepting more work!)\\nJoin the Patreon for exclusive episodes (and more) every month: patreon.com/dankoch\\nEmail about the "sliding scale" for the Patreon:\\nYHP Patron-only FB group: tinyurl.com/ycvbbf98\\nWebsite: www.dankochwords.com/yhp.html\\nJoin Dan\'s email list: www.dankochwords.com/\\nArtwork by sprungle.co/\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
