   The premillennialism (the belief that the Second Coming will usher in a millennium of a peaceful golden age before the Last Judgment) that developed in Dispensationalism emerged in the 1860s from clergymen discussing the prophecies in Daniel, Isaiah, and Revelation. One critique I have for Fitzgerald here however, but maybe she will double back around to it, is that the discussion of the Jews returning to the Holy Lands was not a new phenomenon that had suddenly cropped up. There had been nascent movements for this in England in the 17th century and this was something that Founding Fathers like John Adams and John Jay (two of our more religious Founding Fathers) believed in and had discussed in their letters.

   I am not quite certain how that developed, it’s something I’ve meant to research, but since the start there are people with power in America who had that belief and there were Jews exploiting it, such as Mordecai Noah who developed a few resettlement schemes for Jews utilizing America.
