Interesting in that Lindsay must be getting quite desparate if he's started counting Popes to back up his theories!
The world must have gone quite mad - what kind of self-respecting Fundie gets into Pope counting?
From the link:
Exactly 69 Sabbatical years of 360 days [or 173,880 days] later, Jesus was proclaimed the Son of David and Messiah. As predicted, He was rejected and had nothing. Then within a week after that, He was put to death.
Daniel predicted, “Know therefore and understand, that FROM the going forth of the command to restore and build Jerusalem UNTIL Messiah the Prince, there shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; The street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublesome times. And after the sixty-two weeks Messiah shall be cut off [put to death], but not for Himself; and the people of THE PRINCE WHO IS TO COME shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end of it shall be with a flood, and till the end of the war desolations are determined.”
Note that after the end of the 69th Sabbatical year, but before the beginning of the 70th sabbatical year, two very important historical events would occur. First, Messiah would be put to death, but not for Himself. Jesus was crucified within a week of His official presentation as Messiah. <<<
Hal is not good at math. The "know therefore and understand" appears to have sailed right over his head.
Apparently many of them.
Lindsey has always admired JP2. He never condoned the Pope's devotion to Mary, but he truly liked him.
Not surprising really. Hal Lindsey is a sophist, and will try to sell most anything. After all, he has his third, younger wife to keep in style, as well as the other first two.
As you have demised, I am no Hal Lindsey fan. Not even close.
