Planet Earth: 2000 A.D., Will Mankind survive?

i was so happy to get this writers books again as I used to read a good book and then pass it on, now I wish that I had kept them. I remember his Late Great Planet Earth. Thankful that I can collect them all again. This time to keep .

If one is going to read with any degree of serious interest the genre of prophetic interpretation, then certain allowances must be made. Adjustments for elapsed time, language, technology, and other such major differences in frames of reference over the ages, need be accommodated by writer and reader alike. Now, nearing 2006, it's clear that radical islamist hatred towards Jews and Christians has been amplified by Arab oil money, and that the crisis is very great. Equally significant, the U.S. is without reliable allies through the European Union. Both these ideas were major planks in the Lindsey outlook. Politically, not biblically, the question that arises is does the United States isolate itself and put its dwindling and over-indebted assets behind its defenses, or does it stand virtually alone in its imperfect but noble campaign for liberty and equality of opportunity for fellow human beings? It's not an easy debate to resolve. Does a leading society model its global role around selfish gain, negative prophesy, or higher mortal and spiritual principles? It's really an open question, and Lindsey seems to leave it that way.

planeet aarde 2000AD is a magnific book!!Hal lindsey is a good writer,and realist,I hope that many people can read this book,so they can see that we are not far away from the climax of the history,and that God loves us for what, or who we are.And remember...God never leave us.Isn't that good news?Maranatha.Halleluja!!

Hal Lindsey was very blessed by God with much insight and access to many facts. His book was not dogmatic, nor was it full of candy-coated truth. It was full of hard core truth. Truth is not to be candy-coated. People are frightened of the End Times because 1.) they are not sure they're saved 2.) many know deep down that they are coming soon... Therefore, they want people to preach messeges of comfort rather than messeges full of hard facts. People remember that God is gracious, but they forget that God is also a JUST God. Hal used up-to-date facts and was very good at pointing out how the liberal media and politicians cover up the ugly truth. They hide the attrocities they cause from the eyes of the people. They deceive the people. Very well-written piece of literature.

I have read many of Hal Lindsey books. Anyone who has been wondering about the weather and peace talks in the Middle East needs this important piece of information.
