Is there anyone else who believe that we are living in the end times? I have been reading prophecy books by Hal Lindsey. They are fascinating!

Personaly, I believe H. Lindsey has done a lot of clever speculating primarily to sell books.

There's a very funny sendup of the Left Behind series (thankfully, much shorter than any of the originals) called "". I enjoyed it.

Okay...I have to put this idea in here. Please understand that I am someone who was raised to believe the "premillenial dispensationalist" viewpoint of the "Left Behind" series, but my viewpoint now is..."who knows?!" So, during college, I was doing a production of "Godspell" and was thinking on the passage about the days of Noah (Matthew 24:37-41) -- "As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left."

Do you notice something? The evil people of Noah's day were all taken away. Of the 2 men in the field, one will be taken and the other left...Both times it says "taken". Wouldn't it be ironic if it's a good thing to be left behind?! To me, this is a perfect example of the fact that we may have it totally wrong. We can't know exactly what will happen. My religion professors used to always smile when I asked this. [/i]

BTW, I must say that I own and have read every book in the "Left Behind" series -- not because I totally agree with them -- but because I like the side stories.

This was quite a phenomenon, based on dispensational theology. Quite a good bit of fiction.

The end times began with the coming of Christ. We have been in the "latter days" for a while.

I lost interest in any works by Tim LaHaye after reading a book he authored (I can't remember the title now) where he wrote about a huge volcanic explosion from a mountain called "Krakatolla" (I have always seen it spelled Krakatoa) and had it located in the wrong ocean. Call me a snob, but if he couldn't research better than that, I couldn't take him very seriously.

Who wrote the alternative review, PJ? His (or her) agenda does seem to be at loggerheads with Dr. Flesher's.

What can you tell us about the book s/he recommends?
