Summary: Wow, 2003 and it's still going!
Comment: I bought this book in a bookstore along with Harold Camping's wonderful, "1993?" To say the least, the fact that I bought both titles in 2003 should be evident to how much I enjoyed the books and found their theological discourse convincing. While I am not an expert of theology by any means, I know a little bit about dates, and it seems that Hal is still off. This is another example of why the Pessimistic-Evangelical-Doomsayer genre is a complete farce in the field of theology and a total humiliation to the Christian world.
I respect Mr. Lindsey for trying to read the signs and offering answers that point to the Lord. My problem with him is that we just look foolish when we predict the end and it doesn't happen, and in that we also making our God a bit of a side show gimmic. Again, while I have respect for men such as Lindsey and Lahaye as writers and evangelists, prophets they are not. Oh, and if you would like what I consider a theologically sound end-times argument, check out what Martin Luther said of the Book of Revealations.

Summary: I can't believe people publish this kind of stuff
Comment: This might be the most disturbing book I've ever read.
This book is biased and one sided. Its far out predictions are based on selective and creative interpretation of Biblical texts, and a paranoid view of current and past events.
Some of the author's more far out theories:
- The spirit of the 60s is demonically inspired
- The campaign against nuclear weapons was bankrolled by communists
- Christians are being systemically persecuted worldwide, but he says nothing about how radical Christians are persecuting Muslims, supporters of abortion, multilateralists and more
- Boutros Boutros-Ghali is the most powerful man on the planet (in 1996), and the US is 'pliant' to the UN (any casual observer would be able to see that the UN Secretary-General has little power compared to the President of the United States, and if anything, it is the US that bullies the UN by refusing to pay its dues, imposing all sorts of conditions on it, stomping out of UN bodies like a petulant child, manipulating the Security Council and more)
- The World Bank forces sterilisation and abortion
- UFOs are demons
Hal Lindsey demonises many groups including Communists, Muslims, Humanists, European integrationists, Liberals, non-fundamentalist Christians, and the left in general.
Many of Hal Lindsey's far out conspiracy theories are putatively proven and corroborated, not only with selective and creative interpretation of Scripture, but by way of his unnamed "primary intelligence sources", which are constantly referred to but never described in any but the vaguest of terms, and which know of some very unbelievable things, like Rafsanjani's proclaiming that Muslims want to take over the world.
I am trying my best to be objective here, but the sheer paranoia and negative vibes contained in this book really put me off. Only buy this book if you don't already have another of Hal Lindsey's works (they all say the same thing, apparently, and he reuses choice paragraphs from book to book, with slight modifications to show that his interpretation of prophecy was right when it actually wasn't).
