Good Information, Easy to Understand, Compelling, February 19, 2002
Hal Lindsey is a great author, and this is another one of his good books. He has presented insightful information on how Israel was founded, and why it had to be re-formed. How all of our lives are entwined -- believers and non-believers alike. And why we may be the generation that sees the final prophecies of the Bible unfold before our very eyes.Yes, Mr. Lindsey can get enthusiasic at times, but he does not date set in this book, as is correct. He provides a background where the reader can compare today's world with what is described in Bible prophecy. Is time short, as Mr. Lindsey contends? It is for the reader to decide, but Mr. Lindsey provides compelling examples, that should have the reader searching in his or her own heart for a response. As for those who may criticize Mr. Lindsey's enthusiasm for Bible prophecy as believing that we shouldn't "make plans", because Christ is coming back soon.... I don't think Mr. Lindsey actually means we shouldn't "make plans", but rather we should live with a heightened awareness that the plans that we make may, or may not come to naught. (It doesn't mean you shouldn't plan!) If we are indeed the generation that sees the final prophecies unfold, and Mr. Lindsey provides insightful reasons as why we probably are, don't you want to know what to expect?

China Syndrome, July 20, 2005
Wahhabi Islamic Fundamentalism Iran is the greatest threat to freedom and world peace. Iranian President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani exports two idealogies central as Islamic objectives: 1. unite all of the Islamic nations under the leadership of a coalition led by Iran and Syria. The intent is too drive the west out of the Middle East and liberate Palestine for the Arabs. 2. Replace the Judeo Christian idealogy with Islamic idealogy.
1991, Leonard Spector told a congressional subcommittee, China has helped Algeria in developing a nuclear program. Iran views China as a key strategic partner in providing military weapons. Lindsey states that Iran has been fitting nucs in warheads of Iranian - Chinese Silk Missiles.
China is the one of the "Kings of the East" and has 1.2 billion people. China is moving into a market economy and some of the best capitalist in the world live are Chinese. The Chinese people may be the most naturally capitalist people in the world. China has 16 million new private industry. However, economic commonsense does not equate too recipical military cooperatoin and political prudence.
Rev 9:16 describes a 200 million soldier army. The only country, in the 20th century that could assemble such number is China. China has intermediate range nuclear weapons and nuclear submarines.
Iranians acquired nuclear technology from China and Russia. North Korea shipped 100 x 300 km range scuds missiles to Iran. Iran has received 250 missiles from Russia, North Korea, and China. Weapons sales fuels China's desparate need for foreign currency. Saudi received 50-60 ballastic missiles from China. Iranian states its nuclear technology is being used for commerical energy production and it does not intend on diverting nuclear technology for military usage.
Lindsey says, "Neither democracy nor economic development will alter the deep seated anti Westernism of China and radical Islam. China will continue to arm the most anti Western elements in the Islamic World and use them to divert pressure from China".
Resource wars. China and Russia will dispute borders, however, in the second phase of the conflict, Lindsey predicts, Asia will finish off Russia, march in to claim its bounty - Russian oil reserves and the oil reserves of the Persian gulf.

Excellent reading! Read the book in two days flat., November 30, 1998
Hal Lindsey presents the near future as presented in biblical scripture. The data is analyzed carefully against world events and the increased knowledge of these times. The layman terminology makes the book easy to read and the focus is that the Bible is a Heaven sent book with real phrophecy in it, and that the end-times described in the Bible are at hand. I could find no error in Mr. Lindsey's findings and analysis.
