Hal Lindsey: As the World Grows Darker & the Prophetic Book of Daniel (Video)

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

December 31 2016

The book of Daniel is the most important prophetic book in the Bible, even more than the book of Revelation. This week, however, I will focus, not on the prophecies of Daniel, but on the man and his character. It’s an especially timely study in a world charging headlong into a new dark age. 

Daniel lived one of the most remarkable lives in the history of the world. Even as a teenager, he changed the course of history. But in the story I want to examine this week, many years have gone by. The Medes and Persians had defeated the Babylonians and taken their empire. Darius now ruled. For about twenty years following the death of King Nebuchadnezzar, it had seemed like Daniel’s career was over. But as happened to him so often, he quickly rose through the ranks again. 

After becoming one of the most important figures in the empire, Daniel’s integrity and the king’s confidence in him ignited the jealousy of his peers. But the only way they could eliminate him was by concocting a plan that depended on his faithfulness to God. 

As the world grows darker, God can and will prosper and care for His people, but don’t expect everything to be easy. The psalmist wrote, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous.” But he doesn’t stop there. He goes on to affirm, “But the Lord delivers him out of them all.” (Psalm 34:19, NASB) 

Daniel is testimony to that promise. He made the decision to honor his convictions rather than obey the dictates of the state. By doing so, he assured himself of a terrible fate. He was thrown to the hungry lions. 

And his friend, King Darius, trapped by the power of his own words, was helpless to intervene. 

It’s interesting to note that because the law of the Medes and Persians, once signed and confirmed by the king, was unalterable, King Darius found himself facing a dim reflection of the dilemma God Himself once faced when Adam and Eve chose death over life with Him. He loved them, but had given His word that sin always carries a death sentence. And God’s word is infinitely more certain than the law of the Medes and Persians. 

So in His infinite wisdom, God devised a way for His love to deliver sinners from His wrath while not compromising His righteousness and justice. Jesus Christ took upon Himself a human nature, lived as a true man, and never once sinned. He therefore qualified to voluntarily take upon Himself the penalty and punishment for our sins. He died in our place and secured a true forgiveness for each one who will receive it as a gift. Salvation cannot be given if any human merit is attached to it. Salvation is an absolute gift. 

Tune in this week as I examine how the intractability of the Law of the Medes and Persians, and Daniel’s faith in his God, led to a national revival of faith in the one true God.

For those of you who watch “The Hal Lindsey Report” on Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN), please note that we are moving to a new time. Beginning Friday, January 6, 2017, the Report will be seen 30 minutes later, beginning at 6:00 pm Pacific/9:00 pm Eastern. Hopefully, this new time will make it even more convenient for those of you in the western United States. 

I want to wish all of you a wonderful, blessed and happy new year. 

Thank you so much for your prayer and financial support of “The Hal Lindsey Report” during the past year. We are on the air around the world only through your faithfulness and persistent giving. 

As I look back on 2016, I’m amazed by the prophetic developments that have occurred. The Bible warns us that in the final days of this Age, the appearance of the signs of the times will occur with greater frequency and intensity. 

I will continue to report them to you as long as God gives me the strength, the resources, and the opportunity. I feel, however, that the rapture of the true believers could occur any day of this new year. 

If it does, I’ll see you on the way up! 

Maranatha! And Happy New Year!

God Bless,

Hal Lindsey

      Great story with a good comparison for all of us to take to heart. God Bless….

    • The Ferrett

      It took me quite a few years to disentangle myself from Hal’s Dispensational teachings.

      A lot of what he says is quite sound, however he mixes in jewish fables such as “The Jews are all of Israel” and “The Jews are God’s chosen” nonsense, which his ardent Zionist Christian followers devour.

      The simple fact is that The jews are the enemies of The Most High and their Talmudic Rabbis do their utmost to disredit Him and His Son.

      • maxwell

        …ferret… when you talk about dispensations, are you talking about “periods of time”? This is what I think “dispensational” teaching is all about…and I believe it to have some validity in this paradigm…Tell me what you believe it to be.

        …A lot of old preachers are very deeply entrenched in the continued status of the “state” of Israel, as the ‘chosen’ of God. The truth has left them behind…today we KNOW the chosen people of ISRAEL, are the ten northern tribes, taken captive by Assyria…400 years before the birth of Christ…eventually, migrating over the Caucusus mountains…to populate western Europe. Without the influence of the KENITE Jews, to screw them completely up, like they’ve done with everything else they’ve become intimate with.

      • Judge Roy Bean

        I agree with some additional thoughts that remove Jews as any part of Israel in their unbelief.

        The New covenant ought to do just that and also expose the fact that those who are calling themselves Jews are liars and the synagogue of Satan, refer to Rev 2:9 and 3:9, the only two church types that Yahshua has no faults with.

        Israel is a multitude of nations today just as foretold by Jacob to his sons and grandsons, particularly Joseph and his sons Ephraim and Manasseh. There prophetic events are told in Gen 48 and 49.

        Also a quick glance at the Parable of the fig tree and that Yahshua cursed the fig tree because it had no fruit and what should be done to the tree.

        When Yahshua was asked about the signs of the end, he had this to say and one of the keys to bare in mind is the fig tree with LEAVES but no mention of any fruit which is a prime example of Israel today:

        Matt 24:32-37

        32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:

        33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

        34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

        35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

        36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

        37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
        KJV

      Judge and Max, allow me to elaborate, with thanks to Ray Novosel, “The Illuminati Exposed” . .

      SCOFIELD AND CHRISTIAN ZIONISM

      Continuing with the theme of Jewish funding of popular evangelicals; last, but by no means least, was their trump card avid Freemasonic adept, C.I. Scofield – author of the incredibly popular Scofield Reference Bible, and avid promoter of Christian Zionism through the brilliantly conceived “Dispensationalism.”

      And what is the message of Christian ZIONISM? Simply stated it is this: Every act perpetrated by the so-called state of “Israel” is orchestrated by God, and should be condoned, supported, and even praised by the rest of us. “Never mind what Israel does,” say the Christian Zionists. “God wants this to happen.” This includes the invasion of Lebanon, which killed or injured an estimated 100,000 Lebanese and Palestinians, most of them civilians and the bombing into oblivion of sovereign nations such as Iraq, where over half a million of their innocent children alone have died since 1991, with much more to come.

      The mindset is that Israel cannot possibly ever do anything wrong. People therefore cannot hate anything Israel does; therefore all criticism MUST result from unreasonable and totally causeless hate of Israel. Israel’s group psychology is one of total denial.

      It is impossible to overstate the influence of this immoral conman, outright deviant and dishonest trickster, Cyrus Ingerson Scofield, on twentieth-century Christian belief. Scofield has served as the primary agent by which Evangelical Christianity has become corrupted – teaching and propagating the doctrine of a Jewish New World Order for over 100 years. In fact, the Scofield Bible is so highly regarded today as THE standard Dispensational reference work in virtually all major Christian ministries and divinity schools worldwide, that even the author’s margin notes are popularly viewed as “holy writ.”

      And who was Cyrus Scofield? History records that as a young con-artist in Kansas after the American Civil War, he met up with the notorious John J. Ingalls, an aging Jewish lawyer who had been sent by the “Secret Six” some thirty years before to work the Abolitionist cause.
      Pulling strings both in Kansas and with his compatriots back east, Ingalls assisted Scofield in gaining admission to the Bar, and procured his appointment as Federal Attorney for Kansas. Ingalls and Scofield became partners in a railroad scam, which led to Cyrus serving time for criminal forgery. While he was in prison, Scofield began studying the philosophy of John Darby, pioneer of the Plymouth Brethren movement and the “any moment now” Rapture doctrine.

      Upon his release from prison, Scofield deserted his first wife, Leonteen Carry Scofield, and his two daughters Abigail and Helen, and he took as his mistress a young girl from the St. Louis Flower Mission. He later abandoned her for Helen van Ward, whom he eventually married. Following up his Illuminati connections in New York, he settled in at the Lotus Club, which was listed as his residence for the next twenty years.
      It was here that he presented his ideas for a new Christian Bible concordance, and was taken under the wing of the infamous Samuel Untermeier, who later became chairman of the American Jewish Committee, president of the American League of Jewish Patriots, and chairman of the Non-sectarian Anti-Nazi League. Untermeier introduced the “useful idiot” Scofield to numerous Zionist and socialist big-boys, including Samuel Gompers, Fiorello LaGuardia, Abraham Straus, Bernard Baruch and Jacob Schiff.

      These were the questionable people who financed Scofield’s “research trips” to Oxford and arranged the publication and distribution of his widely read Bible concordance.

      On the “Scofield Reference Bible,” John Wick Bowman says: “This book represents the most dangerous heresy currently to be found within Christian circles.” (Ibid., p.588)

      The outspoken John H. Gerstner, in his 1991 book, “Wrongly Dividing the Word of Truth: A Critique of Dispensationalism,” states emphatically and without mincing words: “What is indisputably, absolutely, and uncompromisingly essential to the Christian religion is its doctrine of salvation. If Dispensationalism has actually departed from the only way of salvation, which the Christian religion teaches, then we must say that it has departed from Christianity. No matter how many other important truths it proclaims, it cannot be called Christian if it empties Christianity of its essential message. We define a cult as a religion which claims to be Christian while emptying Christianity of that which is essential to it. If Dispensationalism does this, then Dispensationalism is a cult and not a branch of the Christian church. It is as serious as that. It is impossible to exaggerate the gravity of the situation.” (p.150)

      Ernest Reisinger states in his article, “A History of Dispensationalism in America”: “All honest Dispensationalists would agree that the Dispensational system of theology has a different view of the grace of God, the law of God, the church of God, the interpretation of the Word of God and the salvation of God. That is, its teachings are different from tested, respected historic creeds and confessions …. Dispensationalism has a different view of living the Christian life of sanctification and, more specifically, how justification and sanctification are inseparably joined together in the application of God’s salvation.” (p.3.)

      In a lengthy and in-depth article in the liberal, “Christianity Today,” Timothy Weber explains “How Evangelicals Became Israel’s Best Friend”. He explores the history of dispensationalism in Britain and the United States and its influential contributions to world history and foreign policies. Weber frankly admits that most evangelicals show little or no concern for Palestinian rights – which is rather ironic because there have always been far more Semitic Arab Christians in the Middle East than Jewish ones (Weber, pp.11-12). He further cites the constant human rights violations of the illegal Israeli state with their 1982 invasion of Southern Lebanon. He continues: “While the Jews have a right to be secure within their own borders, do they have the right to seize other peoples’ land, occupy their territory, ignore their rights of self-determination, and bulldoze and/or blow-up the homes and businesses of Palestinian families? … Evangelicals need to consider whether believing in Bible prophecy absolves them from grappling with the issues of right and wrong. Does having a handle on the prophetic details allow them to turn a blind eye to injustice? Does the end justify the means, just because the ends have been prophesied?” (p.19)

      In order for the concept of a one-world government to become established in the hearts and minds of the faithful, this clever “doctrine of demons” called “Dispensationalism” was thus propagated, and promoted to the point where it was quietly foistered upon the world’s Christian community. The complacency, ineptness, and spiritual laziness that this popular “end of the world” system has produced, was exactly the goal of the One Worlders. This teaching, which appears quite Scriptural to those unschooled in correct Bible terminology, was financed and brought to the forefront by Scofield’s secret backers, perpetuated and enthusiastically endorsed by evangelical giants such as Billy Graham, Jerry Falwell, Hal Lindsay (described as the most respected prophecy teacher in the world today, and possibly the richest) and a whole host of others that decided to feed from the ever-full Jewish establishment trough. This has created precisely what was intended – passive believers who think it is a sin, (even anti-Semitic) to dare question anything that Israel does or wants. It has produced a largely religious and dozy, “un-salty” people, forever waiting for their beloved “rapture,” who claim to know God but in their worldliness deny Him. We are alive today to witness the satanic counterfeit of the REAL Truth, in the final triumph of Dispensational futurism – wrapped as usual in the pretty ribbons and bows of Jewish fables. Deceived Christians by the tens-of-thousands are buying-into an ill-founded belief system – one that was created to endorse and promote the acceptance of the murderous beast of Revelation 13.
