The British-Israel movement in the United States, led by Edward Hine and Charles Totten, progressed into Christian Zionism through several key developments:

1. _Mergence with Pentecostalism_: The British-Israel movement influenced Pentecostal leaders like Joseph Allen and Charles Fox Parham, who incorporated its teachings into their eschatological framework.
2. _Dispensationalism_: The British-Israel movement's emphasis on biblical prophecy and restorationism aligned with Dispensationalist theology, which emerged in the late 19th century. Dispensationalism emphasized the importance of Israel in God's plan and the need for Jews to return to their homeland.
3. _Christian support for Zionism_: As the British-Israel movement grew, it fostered a sense of Christian responsibility to support Jewish restoration in Palestine. This led to increased advocacy for Zionist causes among American Christians.
4. _Influence of prominent figures_: Individuals like Frank Sandford, Joseph Allen, and Charles Fox Parham played significant roles in popularizing British-Israelist and Zionist ideas within Pentecostal and evangelical circles.
5. _Post-WWII developments_: Following World War II, Christian Zionism gained momentum as American Christians became increasingly supportive of the newly established State of Israel. This support was fueled by:
- _Cold War geopolitics_: Israel was seen as a strategic ally against Soviet influence in the Middle East.
- _Evangelical growth_: Evangelical Christianity experienced significant growth in the post-war period, and Christian Zionism became a core aspect of its eschatological narrative.
- _Six-Day War (1967)_: Israel's victory in the Six-Day War solidified Christian Zionist support, as many saw it as a fulfillment of biblical prophecy.

The convergence of these factors transformed the British-Israel movement into a broader Christian Zionist movement, which emphasizes support for Israel as a means to fulfill biblical prophecy and hasten the Second Coming.
