TIM LAHAYE brought an awareness that THE END is near. The LEFT BEHIND series made theologians give REVELATIONS another look.
I read his Left Behind series. It really gave me insight into how things would be with an atheist, anti Christ one world leader, people having to take the mark of the beast, Christians only being able to see the sign of another Christian. He wrote those books years ago- fast forward and seeing how the world has evolved, chaos, ISIS, hatred and murder of Christians, greed, money, power has taken root.
Not so far fetched as a possible ending of this world.
Sorry but Mr. LeHaye subscribed to some very fringe theology which is generally covered under the heading of premillennialism. There is no credible evidence of belief in this unbiblical heresy among any Christian churches prior to its invention around 1830 by John N Darby. Most Christians consider it to be a form of pseudo-Christianity in much the same category as Christian Science, the Jehovah’s Witness movement and the Mormons.
