>>510472230no, this guy wasn't your normal preacher. He was a savant/autistic/whatever, as a child, who memorized the bible and quick pull up and name by chapter and verse, any topic.
Because he had an all-encompassing knowledge, that allowed him to mentally cross-reference everything with everything else.
He was well above average in his knowledge and analysis. Though he slipped a lot (as in this video, which was after a first major illness), his memory on the bible remained intact.
As for the other stuff; I haven't studied him enough to know, but I recall (having lived in the same part of the state as him), that he lived a relatively modest life. He pumped a lot of money into building his network of TV affiliates (the number of stations broadcasting his weekly TV show); but he did not loot the treasury as so many others do.
According to this, around the time of his death his personal fortune was a modest $2.5 million;

If you prefer your end-times preacher a more openly red-pilled, you could also go with Hal Linsey, who was one of the other big end-times names
