Appreciate your “Rapture-FAIL” Timeline, thank you.
I read my mom’s copy of Late Great Planet Earth (LGPE) when I was a kid and as life went on, saw how incorrect Hal Lindsay was. Hal did have an internet show for a while (in the early 2000s) where he discussed current events at his News Desk, and seemed like a sincere, nice man...
Is the “Q” movement like that time when LGPE was popular in that it/he caters to the very real hope of rescue from a bad situation?
Agent Provocateur or False Profit or Good-Intentioned Soul, dangerous regardless.
What is damning about the pre-tribulation rapture philosophy (which was concocted in the 1800s) is that
1. it denies Christ’s very words
2. it forgets that we as Christians are told very, very clearly by Christ that we should EXPECT suffering for His name.
There’s no easy way. We have to pick up our cross and follow Him
