I agree, Buggman. I've heard and read Lindsey regarding the end times and related events but have never seen where he has asigned a specific date to anything. There is a big difference between saying "tomorrow at noon" and "sometime soon, it could even be tomorrow". Those that claim Lindsey as a date-setter and end times snake oil salesman have yet to provide a clear example of such errors.

Not a huge follower of Lindsey myself (I prefer Missler as well), but it irks me whenever Lindsey's name is mentioned here and he is dismissed out of hand as a quack when he raises many a good point.

Okay then. How's this grab you? Hal Lindsey has about as much inside knowledge on the workings of what was or was not in Iraq as the Pillsbury Dough Boy. The only thing he is known for is writing a book on prophesy. Please note at no point in his ramblings does he actually provide any facts supporting his thesis. Just this...

It just happens that the war is being fought in Iraq, but I suppose that is much too deep a distinction for her to grasp. Our forces aren't fighting against Iraq. Al-Qaida is fighting against Iraq. Our forces are fighting against al-Qaida in Iraq.

Opinions are now facts? He knows this how? From listening to the 'right' politician?

Lest we forget we have all the information provided on the links I've seen posted time and time again. Of course one could ask if these links were so defined, surely the President or someone in the administration would provide definitive proof. Or are they just disseminating the info through such fine upstanding 'conservative' magazines as Weekly Standard and the National Review? How clever of them.....

And yet somehow this information was dismissed over a year ago and it's relevant now again why? Because the 'right' politician alluded to a link in his speech?

I suppose that's why you find most of his books on websites such as Armageddon Books. From the description of the soon to be 'classic' VANISHED INTO THIN AIR

We live in a world essentially devoid of hope. Visions of the future as portrayed by popular books and films include catastrophic events like asteroid strikes, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and plagues. Images of the future are more often than not eerie, post-apocalyptic scenes complete with darkened skies over ruined cities presided over by chaos
Those images are completely in harmony with the prophecies of the Book of the Revelation for the last days. But there is another prophecy-the promise of the Rapture of the Church. What is the Rapture? Which view is correct? What are the other views? Is the Rapture a recently developed doctrine? When will it take place? Who will go? Hal Lindsey explains in clear, easy to understand terms the answers to these and many other doctrinal issues surrounding the Rapture of the Church.

Don't think ol' Hal's going to be spending a lot of time discussing spreading of the Gospel and how we can come to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ in this barn-burner. What was that question put forth in the description? When will it take place? Guess I'd sort of have to buy the book for Hal to tell me huh?
