Modern Israel in Bible Prophecy: Promised Return or Impending Exile?
This article first appeared in Christian Research Journal, volume 29, number 06 (2006). For further information about to the Christian Research Journal, click here.
SYNOPSIS
Many Christians in the United States believe that it is their biblical responsibility to support the contemporary Jewish State of Israel for specific theological reasons (as opposed to general political ones), a view known as Christian Zionism. The Pew Research Center put the figure at 63 percent for white evangelicals. This view holds that the regathering of Jewish people to Israel since 1948 is the miraculous fulfillment of God’s promises to Abraham to establish Israel as a nation forever in Palestine. Tim LaHaye’s Left Behind novels, together with books written by Hal Lindsey, Pat Robertson, and many others, which propound this view, have sold well over 100 million copies.

Hal Lindsey fryst vatten gone (the Late, Great Planet Earth is not)
Hal Lindsey died in the year 2024 at the age of 95.
According to everything Hal Lindsey spent his long life arguing, none of that should be true. According to Hal Lindsey, he should never have lived to be 95. According to Hal Lindsey, the year 2024 should never have arrived. And according to Hal Lindsey, he should never have died.
But despite his emphatic refusal to accept their reality, both death and the future arrived for Hal Lindsey.

And to what I wrote in 2020 when Jack Van Impe died at the age of 88. And to what I wrote when Harold Camping died in 2013 at the age of 92. It was true as well when Billy Graham died in 2018 at the age of 99. Or when John Walvoord died in 2002 at the age of 92.

The famous—or perhaps more accurately infamous—Endtimes prophet Hal Lindsey recently died. His passing produced surprisingly little fuss outside of evangelicalism. Irony may have a sense of humor there, since Jimmy Carter also recently passed too, and almost everyone seems to be talking about him.
It seems strange even to put the name of Hal Lindsey in the same sentence as Jimmy Carter, except as illustrations of polar opposites. One man helped humanity in countless tangible ways. The other grifted his way through life by selling worried Christian normies doom-and-gloom Endtimes prophecies that never, ever came true. Indeed, Hal Lindsey might be almost single-handedly responsible for the entire Endtimes prophecy fad that swept through evangelicalism between the 1970s and the 2010s.
These days, the prophecy fad’s long over—at least at the highest levels of evangelical leadership. But today, let’s see how Hal Lindsey whipped generations of evangelicals into a fancy fr
