Anglo-Israelism:
Meaning (information, definition, explanation, facts)
Anglo-Israelism is a doctrine of some evangelical and fundamentalist Christian
groups which teaches that under the New Testament,
many of the promises revealed in the Old Testament
as being made by God to the ancient Hebrews are now applicable
to the English-speaking peoples,
particularly the British and American peoples.
Some advocates of this position have even gone so far
as to suggest that t
e English-speaking peoples
have now supplanted the J*ws as the chosen people.
This position has often faced accusations of Anti-Semitism.
The most visible advocate of this doctrine was p
robably
American evangelist Herbert W. Armstrong
of the Worldwide Church of God.
Armstrong fr
equently used his broadcasts,
The World Tomorrow, and particularly the church's magazine,
The Plain Truth, to advocate this doctrine.
However, following Armstrong's death
this group has publicly rennounced
this and repented for having advocated it;
however, certain breakaway groups from this church
still proclaim it, as do some other small evangelical groups.
This doctrine has never been considered "mainstream"
by most of the evangelical or fundamentalist community,
or seemed to have gained currency in wider Protestantism.
