I am pretty sure he funded an major arena for Liberty University.

And I must respectfully but strongly dissent from the word “prophet” as a descriptive.

Correct, the days of the prophets are long ago...

Matthew 11:13 For all the prophets and the Torah prophesied until John. 14 And if ye are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, that is to come.

Matthew 3:4 Now John himself was clothed in camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey.

2 Kings 1:7 Then he said to them, “What kind of man was it who came up to meet you and told you these words?”

8 So they answered him, “A hairy man wearing a leather belt around his waist.”

And he said, “It is Elijah the Tishbite.”

Honoring the memory of a great man of God. You can argue over whether he was a prophet or not. Me, I think he was just about the greatest expositor of God's word in my lifetime.

Tim LaHaye Is Now Home Evidence for Creation

Tim LaHaye, well-known evangelical leader and co-author of the Left Behind series, went home to be with the Lord early on July 25, 2016, after suffering a stroke. Dr. LaHaye was instrumental in the start of the Institute for Creation Research and served on its Board of Trustees for many years. In September 1970, he invited Dr. Henry Morris, then head of an engineering department at Virginia Tech, to move to San Diego to help with the founding of Christian Heritage College (now San Diego Christian College). ICR was a division of the college for a decade before splitting off to form its own ministry of researching the science that supports the accuracy and authority of the Bible. Through Dr. LaHaye’s work with Dr. Morris, countless people have heard the evidence that the Bible is true and authoritative in everything it says. We are grateful for the influence of this godly man and join others in praying for the comfort of his family.

Consider the source of the word “prophet” -

it was from ‘Charisma’ magazine -

where personal experience overrules the Word.

Sorry I'm late to the party, but I just learned of LaHaye's death from another mb. Plus I was on vacation when LaHaye died and had no computer access.

I bought and read cover to cover all 12 of the original series (back in my holy roller days when I adhered to the rapture theology), and they're not the best written novels ever, and they didn't bring me to Jesus (they didn't have to iykwim). I tried to read the three prequels and the finale (my library's copies) but couldn't get into them. IMO the property jumped the shark in the finale.
