He also said it would end in 1996.
I forget who wrote it, but I remember a book named something like, “88 Reasons For 88” which “proved beyond doubt” that ‘88 was the year when the Rapture would come. Of course, Hal Lindsey wrote “1980, Countdown to Armageddon” that made pretty much the same case for they year 1988 and which he followed with, “The Late, Great, Planet Earth”.
All I can say about Hal is I hope he’s enjoyed the nice cars he collects with the proceeds from his writings because I know he can’t be enjoying how accurate his readings of Scripture are.
