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?

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.

I read this book just about a month ago, and I am still telling people about it. If you are like me and wanted to know what is happening in the world around us, this book points right to what you need to know. I have several friends already reading it. What really amazed me is that this book was written in 1998, yet many of the things that were spoken of, they are happening right now. This book is a must read for anyone that you care about who's eternal future is not secured. This will make you and them re-think what you want to do with the small amount of time that we as believers have left on this earth. No one will want to be here during "Earth's Final Chapter".

It was a good book to bring home the actual magnitude of the events that will bring the end of the world as we know it. It's one thing to read in the Bible that 1/3 of the earth's population will die, but it's something else to actually see how it might happen. This book helped me a lot with priorities.

I read this in one sitting. I think Mr.Lindsey has an acute awareness of occidental politics, and I could not put the book down until I finished it. I imagine Mr.Linsey would view this as a left handed compliment, since religious prophecy is, I assume, the driving force in his writings, and I am sure his loyal readers buy his books for this reason. From a prophetic view point (I read "Late Great" circa 1975) both of these books are also interesting because of his unpretentious writing style. While he cleary has firm religious beliefs (which I respect but do not always agree with) he does not write with an "I know it all" style, which is what turns me off with so many other authors who write prophetic books. I recommend this to anyone who is drawn to books that discuss religion and politics in a non-volatile (hard to do!) but right-to-the-point way.

My dad recommended this book to me. I couldn't put it down! I found it facinating that many of the things mentioned in the Bible are manifesting themselves today. Things like nuclear wars and neutron bombs. From reading the other reviews, this is obviously not for everyone. But for those that are interested, I would certainly read this.

This is his best yet. He writes as though he is writing to me, easy to follow, and makes prophesy easy to understand. It can be said that prophesy is chilling, but Mr. Lindsey focuses on the promise of God to Christians in the End Times. The events are in chronological order, this makes easy following. I would recommend to everyone, especially those who have not read the Word of God.

This book helped me to understand things that I hadn't before...it made the Biblical references so clear that I can almost follow along in the Bible as I watch the evening news. I recommend this book to anyone who has dealt with fear and confusion concerning the end times.

I would recommend this book and all of Hal's books to everyone.
They are all eazy reading, giving me understanding of the Bible and God that I had never known before, Hal has saved my life through his writtings. The fact is the more you read his books the more you want!!

I purchased this book and it was very good.I have read alot of hal,s books but this one truely is packed with information about diverse prophetic subjects that i have studied through out the years. Hal even talk about a subject that could even be tied to biblical prophecies the dreaded y2k. The father of modern prophecies really states what the y2k is without alarming anyone and even offers hope of it. Hal lindsey & Grant R jefferey are two of the best prophetic teachers around. I truely recommend this book to any one and all that studies prophecies.
