Sigh ... all John F. Walvoord did in both his mentioned books was show how current events are LEADING up to the rapture and Armageddon. The reference is ALL based on Scripture.

Well then how is it that his book is no longer published and you can buy it used for one penny on Amazon's used book site? Surely if he wasn't giving the impression of making predictions then this text would have had a longer shelf life, esp. the second time around.

Walvoord fell into the same trap as other pop prophecy types like Hal Lindsey and Chuck Smith. He became mesmerized by the events in the Middle East and allowed that to color his scholarship. He ended up denying the old school/Scofield/Chafer/Dallas view of dispensational prophecy which taught there where would be no identifiable events prior to the rapture of the church.

Rumor has it that Walvoord was one of Lindsey's professors at Dallas Theological Seminary. He must have fallen in first.

"Mesmerized" is a good word. Most of these guys are dazzled by the bright lights and gaudy baubles of end-time prophecies.

But at its core, it is a political gambit and is being used to push a political agenda.

The politics may even be correct. But certainly not for theological reasons.

Every time I hear about the third temple being built, I cringe.

Jesus Christ is the third temple.

"NO identifiable events prior to the rapture of the church"?

LOL!!!

Perhaps you should spend you time more wisely. Read the Bible before you post such nonsense. Also try READING what Walvoord has written. It is NOT at all what you are claiming.
