Clearly Devastates Hal Lindsey's Case, March 26, 2005
This review is from: Hal Lindsey's Prophetic Jigsaw Puzzle : Five Predictions that Failed! (Paperback)
After reading many of Hal Lindsey's books including the revised ones - reading this book was an eye-opener. The Associated Church Press is right in awarding the 1987 citation to Dr. Bacchiocchi. This is a very scholarly work which is very much appreciated by Christian leaders even in the Evangelical world. It clearly debunks the many false predictions made by Hal Lindsey that has deceived many Christians. I used to believe in Hal Lindsey's ideas but no more. Thanks to Dr. Bacchiocchi for a job well done.

His book proven wrong., December 21, 2003
This review is from: Hal Lindsey's Prophetic Jigsaw Puzzle : Five Predictions that Failed! (Paperback)
I would say and write that everyone read the BOOK The Late Great Palate Earth, and ignore jigsaw and other books like it. BUT, if you do read Jigsaw you will see that Bacchiocchi sets out to argue that Hal Lindsey is a false Prophet because he predicted four events in his first book and five hear in his scond on this subject, that Bacchiocchi believes will never happen. Bacchiocchi claim that Europe could NEVER unite. Well, they are uniting, right in front of our own eyes. It started with the treaty of Rome that was pushed by Claude Monet, and has worked into the EU and a unified Currency. Hal shows how the Bible predicts that 10 nations would start this off and that is exactly how it is happening as Ten European nations did sign the original EU agreement. So I would say that Bacchiocchi's argument falls apart already. If you read his book you will see his other arguments fall apart as well, all you have to do is turn on the news to figure that out. Lindsey wrote the Late Great Planate earth in the late 1960s and in it he also warned us about the Islamic Explosion (long before anyone else sounded the alarm bell). Lindsey also shows how the Prophecies of Israel's return, from all over the world, to there land (1948), is a key sign to the end times; He also shows how it was predicted, in the Bible, that they would come back into Israel first, and get Jerusalem back at a later time (1967). Hal shows how the Bible predicts how there will be four major spears of influence in the world in the end times; Including a united Europe (Europe is uniting and its Happening in front of our own eyes); an Arab and Muslims confederation (Iran, Jordan, Libya, etc.,) with the same goal of defeating Israel; The Russians and her allies in the North (Most of the -stain countries, all part or all Muslim country's) and an Asian Power base (China, India). All of this is lining up right as I write, are you going believe your own eyes or mockers like Samuele Bacchiocchi; Read Hal's book for your self and study the scriptures for yourselves and make up your own mind. Just remember As the Apostle Peter wrote in 2 Peter Chapter 3 remember the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles. First of all you must understand this, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own passions and saying, "Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things have continued as they were from the beginning of creation." In my opinion, Case closed. I am still waiting for Bacchiocchi to apologies to Hal Lindsey for his slander.
