Prosperity "Gospel" in British Israelism

Researchers note the similarities between the “Prosperity Gospel and the doctrines of healing that emerged from the Latter Rain movement to form a new “health and wealth gospel” to replace the Biblical Gospel of Jesus Christ as declared in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The Prosperity Gospel flourished with the second and third wave of Pentecostalism and lifted leaders such as Kenneth Hagin, Joel Ostend, Creflo Dollar and Rod Parsley into fame.

The prosperity gospel, however, has roots that run much deeper than the second wave of Pentecostalism, predating the Azusa Street Revival. Themes of the financial pyramid scheme emerged in early British Israelism as core British Israel doctrine, and many pentecostal founders were British Israel converts. Both Frank Sanford and John Alexander Dowie taught British Israelism, and their version of the doctrine spread throughout Pentecostalism through Pentecostal founder Charles Fox Parham.

Howard Rand’s Anglo-Saxon Federation taught that the “Israel System of Taxation” was grounded on the Biblical system of tithes, and that tithes would result in a prosperity “in which all men will become capitalists”. Rand believed the 10 percent tithe would eventually increase to 20 percent — making British Israel ministers even wealthier than they were. It should come as no surprise that Rand’s version of British Israelism was adopted by Pentecostal leaders such as Gordon Lindsay who spoke at Rand’s conferences. Anglo Saxon Federation leader William J. Cameron argued in favor of Rand’s system of taxation and credit in his address, “The Economic Law of God”.
