Late Great Planet Earth

Hal's research is very good, his only mistake was to try to place a date when things were to happen. Jesus states that only God knows the dates, but we need to read the times and events as they occur to see how they line up according to God's Word. I admit I was very caught up back in 1970 but the thing it did for me was to spend a lot more time reading the Bible and reading commentaries of various well known evangelicals who studied at credible seminaries across the country. I'm now 82 and I see a lot of the history that Hal pointed out in his book since 1970. As Christians, we need to be ready but we are still going to be in the dark regarding the actual dates of occurrence. God will come "like a thief in the night" which means we aren't going to know until it happens, but there are a lot of "markers" along the way to let us know where we might be regarding the Rapture and the Tribulation. Man debates, trying to cite various Scriptures as "proof" but the proof is God Himself and He has let us know through happenings over the years. I don't have a schedule (wish I did) but one thing I am doing is to rely on God's Word (with Jesus as my Savior) to be part of the "crowd gathered in the sky" before the Tribulation. God makes the decisions, not man. God used men in the Bible as prophets, but God is the chooser. I feel Hal did a great job waking up the Christian world with this book, but God's timeframe is not subject to man's interpretation.

Best book I have read other then the Bible. It literary started the end time prophecy sections in Christian book stores. It masterfully explains world war 3, and the finial years of planet earth.

The book arrived quickly and was securely packaged. I was disappointed to find the pages to be very yellowed. It's in a plastic bag and I'm ordering the book on Kindle.

I read this work years ago. I avoid evangelicals, interpretations and opinion/agenda driven authors/books. Hal Lindsy does a fantastic job of concisely assembling and comparing scattered Christian bible prophetic references to the "end times". He draws attention to the parallels between Old and New Testament prophecies, illucidates some accepted historical data and draws conclusions without demanding that the reader assume his are the best or last words on the matter. Very informative book which avoids coming off as preachy.

This is a fantastic book and a good starting place for more study! (look up the OmegaLetter.com or HalLindsey.com) It was written 30 or so years ago, so true, there are some dated spots (like the USSR is no longer here--but Russia still is!) However, the prophesies it explains are still true--and always will be. Every single prophesy about the first coming of Christ was 100% fulfilled. There is nothing in this book to provoke fear, other than fear if you reject Christ and you are left behind! All these prophesies are for knowledge which is power over fear! The Bible says: "God does not give the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." Many people want to explain away the prophesies as "not literal". That is completely false. Anything that is not literal in the Bible says so plainly. Jesus tells us when he is speaking in a parable for instance. The argument that the Rapture or any of the other end time prophesies are "relatively recent" is easily explained. A good portion of the end-time prophesies are from Daniel, and Daniel was told by God that his book would be closed until the end time, and then it would be opened, and Jesus said that the generation that sees these things come to pass (Israel being a nation again and the Jews being drawn back from the four corners of the world) would not pass away until everything is fulfilled. That time is now. The people alive in 1948 (or perhaps 1967 when Jerusalem was in Jewish hands again), will not pass away until all the Bible prophesies about the End Times are fulfilled. No one but God knows the exact date the Rapture (and the final 7 years) will happen--but we can know the generation it will happen in. And you know what? If I, or Hal Lindsey are wrong about the Rapture, it's not going to hurt us at all. But if you are wrong, then you will discover it to your peril... The Bible says when you see all these things coming to pass to look up! For your redemtion draws near...!
