Caught Between Barack and a Hard Place
Did you read the book Mach? I read that thing about 5 times when it came out.
Hal Lindsey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"In a later book, entitled, The 1980s: Countdown to Armageddon, [19] he indicated that he believed it was possible that the battle of Armageddon could take place in the not too distant future, stating, "the decade of the 1980s could very well be the last decade of history as we know it." [20]. He noted again that there is no reference to the U.S. in bible prophecy. He listed a few scenarios that seemed plausible to him at the time: (1) A takeover by communists, (2) destruction by a surprise Soviet nuclear attack, or (3) becoming a dependent of the 10-nation European community.[21]. The book was on the NY Times bestseller list for over 20 weeks.
Planet Earth - 2000 A.D., published in the early 1990s, states that Christians should not plan to still be on earth by the year 2000.
Lindsey's earlier predictions all assumed that the Cold War would continue indefinitely, and had eschatological significance; he explicitly identified Russia with the apocalyptic figure of Gog. He also assumed that the 1960s counterculture would eventually become the dominant culture, and become the source of prophesied "immorality" that would lead to the establishment of a false religion.
Those bolded phrases are not suggesting that Lindsay believed the end of the world would occur in the 80's, contrary to what you claimed. And no, I didn't read the book but know enough of Hal to believe he would never specify when the Rapture would occur, but he does indeed speculate as do many others.
