Harold Lee Lindsey aka.. HAL LINDSEY
(November 23, 1929 – November 25, 2024) was an American evangelical writer and television host. He wrote a series of popular apocalyptic books – beginning with "The Late Great Planet Earth' (1970), which connected BibleProphecy to current and near future events, It had sold an estimated 35 Million by the end of the 20th Century which has made it one of the most influential books of the 20th Century.
He was a Christian Zionist and Dispensationalist.
Lindsey’s path into prophecy writing was strongly shaped by dispensationalism, which interprets the Bible through the lens of God’s promises to the Jewish people and the Christian Church.
He became a Born-Again Christian after having a near death experience while working for the US Coast Guard.
Hal studied theology at Dallas Theological Seminary, graduating in 1962 with a degree in Greek New Testament. Afterward, he joined Campus Crusade for Christ (now Cru) and began holding Bible studies at UCLA, where he focused on the relevance of biblical prophecy in light of contemporary events. asserting that the Apocalypse (or End Times - including the Rapture ) was imminent because current events were fulfilling Bible prophecy.

I read "The Late, Great Planet Earth" in 1979, about a year after I became a Born-Again Christian. I didn't understand most of it at the time but came away with several important facts.
🔴 Bible Prophecy is always 100% accurate, because God knows everything. If you hear somebody give a "prophecy" and it's even just a wee bit wrong 🤏, they do NOT speak for God.
🔴 The creation of the state of Israel in 1948 (which is predicted in the Bible) started the EndTimes countdown.
🔴 ALL of the Bible (including Bible Prophecy) is to be taken literally.
🔴 Jesus is coming back soon. Perhaps even in MY lifetime.
It motivated me to start studying Bible Prophecy and watching Current world Events in a big, huge, earnest way. So here I am 45 years later and I see Bible Prophecy being fulfilled and converging all around me at a rate I can no longer keep up with.
So I conclude with "Thank you, Brother Hal. I'll see you SOON"
The Truth with (much) Love,
Always Laura-Lee 😌
