I finally learned to disregard "headline chasers" when studying eschatology but I'll have to admit I still read them as a guilty pleasure, like twinkies. Both have no nutritional value (physically or spiritually) but they sure are entertaining.
I've never read a twinky.....
I have been studying Bible prophecy for more than 30 years. I knew when the time came near someone would say exactly what you’ve just said — that this particular prophecy was just conveniently being mentioned.
Believe me...those of who who believe prophecy have known this was coming for a long, long time. No one, especially not Lindsay, is just dropping a convenient prophecy.
The Lord gave prophecy to warn — when you see these things happening, understand that it was mentioned long ago by the Lord for YOUR benefit.
