British Israel Doomsday Theology

British Israel leader C.A.L. Totten was strongly influenced by pyramidologist C. Piazzi Smyth who claimed that the great pyramid and the zodiac formed a strong relationship to form religious significance in Christianity. Smyth provided the introduction to TOtten's book, the Order of History, and Totten published several books and articles promoting Smyth's unusual doctrines. Many of those doctrines found their way into early Pentecostalism through Frank Sandford and later by Charles Fox Parham. Sandford taught Totten's British Israel doctrines in his Bible School, which Parham visited and briefly attended.

Totten used "pyramid calculations" to predict the End-of-Days. According to Totten in 1893, the 2520 years of "the times of the Gentiles" were within five and three-quarter years of their full solar termination. This set the early adopters of British Israelism on fire to proclaim the impending doomsday, a theme that would continue to unravel through the development of Pentecostalism and its effect on evangelical Christianity. During the early years of the Latter Rain movement, long after Totten's doomsday prediction had failed, British Israel converts revised the years to include new and exciting ways in which the world would end at just any moment.

The World Wars amplified the doomsday focus, though the outcome was far from Totten's prediction. Totten believed the end-of-days war would be between Russia and England, and that England would completely wipe out Russia. England represented Biblical Israel, while America, Egypt, and Germany represented three Biblical world powers that would eventually divide the world between themselves.
