I agree with you X, it should be ponder. But there is a difference between pondering the events and fitting scriptures into events to sell books. Hal Lindsey had this big theory worked out that the Soviet Union was going to sweep down on Israel. He had plenty of scripture to support his views. It sounded great. And then the Soviet Union disolved. Now it's the Arabs and this time he's right.

There is always a "bad" guy and a "good" guy. That's what sells.

Yes, it must be pondered. And I do think that some have been using eschatology to sell books, movies, horror shows, etc.

In terms of Lindsay, however, Lindsay was absolutely wrong about timing, but maybe not about such an event taking place some day. That part of the world might just sweep down some day against Israel.

If the identification of locations is correct, that is another prophecy that requires pondering.
