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.

In no way shape or form did he PREDICT a date or personally PROPHSIZE. All he did was cover the SAME issues that are BIGGER issues today. I suppose some people just don't want to read what the Bible states and have events compliment it. No one knows when He is returning but one is allowed to look at events and see a PATTERN where His return looks very soon.

1Thes.5

[2] For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

2Pet.3

[10] But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

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.

If you believe in the end times, current events are ALWAYS 'leading' to Armageddon.

A BIG HUGE AMEN!
