Can't have Jesus without breaking a few eggs.
Well, for that you need Armageddon, not tiny Israel, and only AFTER the third temple, which has not happened.
For fun, look up a recent TV show called 'Dig.' It's about the efforts of a cabal of different religious types to push the clock forward and bring about the End Times.
Well, we don’t use fictional TV shows to describe reality, do we?
The first two words of my comment were 'For fun.'
BTW, people have been using fiction to inspire reality for years. Back in the day, Nellie Bly travelled around the world in 75 days and NASA named an actual spaceship "Enterprise" because of a TV show whose name escapes me.
I understand your suggestion is for found, but it sounded as if it is possible to learn something from those. Which I seriously doubt. As for inspiration, other than names and words (e.g. robot), not a lot of ideology got transferred into real lives. There are exceptions, of course. Like Ann Ryan’s book “Atlas Shredded” is popular on the right, Heinlein’s “Stranger in a Strange Land” influenced the left in the sixties, but I think those are rather exceptions. A very small fraction of books and shows do that. I hope that the show you suggesting is not one of those.
