And I guess somehow you think attacking Lindsey will bring others closer to God. Sorry, but your screed does the opposite for me.

I spent a lot of time in my younger years worrying about the world’s end times. Then I realized that is far more important that I worry about my personal “end times” and getting right with Jesus.

Just allegorize everything and you can make up your own Bible.
We can trust you to be the arbiter of truth.

The late Irvin Baxter of Endtime had it correct. We are nowhere near the end.

His son in law runs the show now and is on par with Brother Baxter.

It’s a good show. 3pm weekdays live. Or youtube.

So did Jesus return to Earth in 70 AD? Were those who had “fallen asleep” prior to his return bodily raised from the dead in 70 AD? Did He render final judgment on all humanity in 70 AD? Were a new heavens and new Earth created in 70 AD, after the current ones had passed away in a “fervent heat?” Was there a great tribulation in 70 AD that was worse than anything mankind has ever been through since the beginning of the world, and worse than anything we will ever experience in the future? …and I could go on for pages…

While there is a small nugget of truth in your argument, there is a mountain of evidence to the contrary that you cannot explain.

Wow-

In a country where most people don’t even know what dispensationalism is, you find people writing a fact based retrospective After Action Review.

Sadly for many churches, many of these ideas have been incorporated and they in part persist even today among many Christians especially in the US.

That is why doctrine and tradition matter. It should ward off / resist the incorporation of herecy based on the idea that 1) the Bible has a flaw in it and we figured out what that is. 2) Someone had a vision and wants to add to the Bible. 3) People for 2,000 years just had it wrong. Let me show you how to really interpret XYZ. 4) Some modern (paradigm) that has not Christian connection in reality gets incorporated into the church (socialism, feminism, animal rights, LGBTQIA, climate change, a drug lord saint...) These are the 3 basic origins in most herecy you have today in Christianity.

Intellectual debate about the Second Coming.

Joe Biden talked about bringing Benjamin Netanyahu to a “Come to Jesus” the meeting last week.

At the rate Biden is going better get ready for the Lord to arrive IMHO.

War In The Middle East War With Russia In Ukraine War With China?

Regardless the Higher Power wants me doing the right thing in the moment I am living whatever His ultimate plans.

My sister is in to this nonsense and she’s mentally ill. Because of her I’ve been exposed to many of these people and many of them do the talk but they don’t understand what Christianity is all about. They have been led down a foolish road and It’s hard for me to even consider them Christians. It’s like the Mormons and their magic underwear. Sorry I don’t mean hate I just think they are seriously misguided.

My beef with dispensationalism is that it all seems like such a distraction. Let’s stipulate that dispensationalism is correct (although hard to do since there are different versions). The next question is, “Now what?” The answer is still to grow in one’s own sanctification. So what difference does it make?

Dispensationalism was born in 1830 with John Nelson Darby. It died in 1988 when their prophecies failed to materialize in “that generation.”

Unfortunately, Darby’s theories are hardly dead, and large portions of them are still being taught in many (most?) Christian churches in the US.

Satan and his legions of demons are working night and day grabbing souls and spreading false teaching and promoting false prophets. The old saying the Devil takes care of his own is a true statement...signs and wonders.

All I read was hate and lies in your Op post, you take extreme liberties expousing much stronger views to a writer in order to create your spiteful diatribe.

One simple example is locking a generation into 40 years, biblically a generation can range from 30 years for those born to a category of the people of the time, meaning a generation can be hundreds of years, like a period of kings during a dynasty in Israel.

Such bad faith arguments only serve to show your desire to deceive God
s people, I pray you find love and truth, not this hateful rhetoric.

Christ will return, we can all debate wether being called up to him is pre, mid or post, none of that is doctrinal, but his return sure is and it will happen!

Dispensationalism is not wrong. Hal Lindsey and others prostituted it to make money.

Lindsey (p. 54, 181), like other dispensationalists, placed the beginning of the end with Israel becoming a nation in 1948. He thought all prophecy would be fulfilled within a 40-year generation (Matthew 24:34). But 1988 came and went, proving him to be a false prophet. (This should be adequate proof that 1948 has nothing to do with Bible prophecy.)

Prior to 1948 the majority of people dismissed the concept of Israel reforming as a country. Boy did that ever change some minds when it did happen.

Lindsey (p. 56-57) said, “It is certain that the Temple will be rebuilt. Prophecy demands it.” Problem is, not a single verse of the Bible can be mustered to support a future rebuilding of the temple. This idea is merely an invention of dispensationalists to try to justify their theory.

The Bible mentions that some end-times events will occur in a temple in Jerusalem (Daniel 9:27; Matthew 24:15). Second Thessalonians 2:4, speaking of the Antichrist, tells us, "He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in God’s temple, proclaiming himself to be God." Before the end times can occur, a temple must be present for these events to occur in.

There is still the “small” problem of the Islamic Dome of the Rock being on the site where the Jewish temple is supposed to be. Muslims believe this is the place from which Mohammed ascended into heaven, making it the third most sacred of Muslim shrines. For the Jews to take over this place and build a temple upon it would be unthinkable in today’s political climate. But during the tribulation, the building of the Temple will come about, protected by the Antichrist (Daniel 9:24-27).
