Please read the wiki linksWhat has Hal Lindsey not repented of?
i though it would be easier to ask you.Please read the wiki links
In 2007, Lindsey told viewers of his television show that Zion Oil and Gas, a Texas-based hydrocarbon exploration company, was "on the verge of discovering oil," and that this points to the imminent return of the Messiah. He made similar pronouncements in his column on the right wing nut site World Net Daily. This caused the stock price of Zion Oil to increase over twenty percent. Lindsey did not disclose that at the same time, he and his relatives owned millions of dollars of stock in Zion Oil. This is known as a type of fraud, "pump and dump", but no charges were filed against Lindsey.i though it would be easier to ask you.

I would like to know some of the other teachers who share his theories, if you have any names?I have my own problems with Hal — for instance, he’s been married four times — but I don’t go to him for Bible teaching anyway, so it doesn’t matter. There are lots of teachers who teach the exact same things he does.
Chuck Missler.I would like to know some of the other teachers who share his theories, if you have any names?
Thats it!!!!
If "visions" of the coming Panopticon made it into 80s pop culture ( see THIS and THIS as quick examples ), its likely that whoever seeded them there must have tried seeding elsewhere tooI recently reread Mary Stewart Relfe's When Your Money Fails.
(another parental book of my youth)
Apart from the antichrist thing, (her candidate died as the book was being published, lol) her predictions concerning money and electronic tracking has been very good.
In the early 80s it was impossible for me to imagine such things. Incredible how they have crept in over the years.
Thanks for this!Hmmm. Makes you wonder if Sodom (which was a city in the valley of the Euphrates a great river) and Egypt (obviously the city/nation founded on the Nile) is not even in the Middle East but another city altogether? Or is Sodom and Egypt how the city is described by others based on it's acceptance of a polytheistic and hedonistic culture? Shoot that could be a place in India for all we know or even Manhattan.
The thing that bugs me about the author is after doing a little digging he did some sketchy stuff. In 2007, Lindsey told viewers of his television show that Zion Oil and Gas, a Texas-based hydrocarbon exploration company, was "on the verge of discovering oil," and that this points to the imminent return of the Messiah. He made similar pronouncements in his column on the right wing nut site World Net Daily. This caused the stock price of Zion Oil to increase over twenty percent.

Strange but the regular Wiki article says NOTHING about this.

Now I know people around here are pretty good at digging out truth from fabrication, so I pose a question. Why? Fraud is a pretty strong accusation, and if proven this type of fraud could ruin someone and send them to jail. So why? Is Hal working for us or against us?
I think i just might aswell!You know, I think I might read it myself!
Really Red? Did you miss this part??? This is inexcusable.I think that as with Billy Graham or King David (or anyone else for that matter), the substance of what they said and an evaluation of the things they did are separate issues.
I.e Charlton Heston did a decent job playing Moses, but was also president of the NRA. His liking for rifles may have had little bearing on his cinematic portrayals.
I wonder... eventually oil was was discovered in the Golan Heights and a massive gas reserve in the Med, by way of the Leviathan gas field. Working back, assuming the spoil that Gog and friends in Ezekiel 38 may be looking for could be oil and gas resources, and based on the assumption that this war might take place at the beginning of the Tribulation, I can see his logic...If "visions" of the coming Panopticon made it into 80s pop culture ( see THIS and THIS as quick examples ), its likely that whoever seeded them there must have tried seeding elsewhere too
Thanks for this! Why have i never bothered doing this before (hits side if the head 3 times) given how much i rail against these types? Maybe that's because i already see them as agents. Anyway, you've put me onto something and iam going to dig further. I'll report back as soon as i find some gems.
I think i just might aswell!

@DavidSon
Did you pick up on "spiritual mobilization" that was mentioned in the the California talk i posted in the NWO thread?
I understand. Axl(something) brought up the oil thing in another thread. But do we really need those kinds of things? The bible is already replete with its own markers about the second coming. If the discovery of oil in the Golan heights was such a big deal, don't you think God would have revealed it to John or Paul? Its these things that cause confusion, in my opinion anyway.I wonder... eventually oil was was discovered in the Golan Heights and a massive gas reserve in the Med, by way of the Leviathan gas field. Working back, assuming the spoil that Gog and friends in Ezekiel 38 may be looking for could be oil and gas resources, and based on the assumption that this war might take place at the beginning of the Tribulation, I can see his logic...
If you remember it being mentioned here, Campus Crusades had an annual budget of half a billion dollars.CIA operatives also helped begin the Campus Crusade for Christ as a right-wing political organization also aimed at patriotizing Christians. Hal Lindsey came out of the CCC.
Spire Comics. I had them all, even the faux Archie ones.Thats it!!!!
Thats the one!!! Omg...
Did you have any others?
I had The Cross and the Switchblade, The hiding place, God's Smuggler, and others.
The proper books were all around too, but mostly I liked the comics (I was a kid).
OMG, I have never met anyone who has ever read these!!!
All my friends had 2000AD, and marvel stuff.
But they were forbidden to me...
The pre-trib position predates the CIA by a couple thousand years, but whatever.The current futurism craze that is sweeping Christianity, which originated in the 70s with Hal Lindsey, and was later popularized by Tim Lahaye, was begun by the CIA as a means to politicize Christians toward the right-wing.
I didn't have that one.Spire Comics. I had them all, even the faux Archie ones.
My favourite was this one

That’s a lot of work for the CIA, I mean the big question is “why”? Why would the CIA benefit from this? What does the CIA gain from this?The CIA manipulated Christianity, specifically futurist eschatology
The current futurism craze that is sweeping Christianity, which originated in the 70s with Hal Lindsey, and was later popularized by Tim Lahaye, was begun by the CIA as a means to politicize Christians toward the right-wing.
Additionally, this effort by the CIA is also attached to each of the most famous charismatic movements since the late 60s, most notably the Jesus Movement, and by extension the Calvary Chapel semi-denominational group. The Jesus Movement spun off several other charismatic movements: Wimber's Vineyard movement, the Kansas City Prophets, the Pensacola Revival and the Toronto Blessing. Hence, without realizing it, the charismatic/signs-and-wonders movement has been an impetus of the CIA push at patriotizing Christians. CIA operatives also helped begin the Campus Crusade for Christ as a right-wing political organization also aimed at patriotizing Christians. Hal Lindsey came out of the CCC.
The Council for National Policy, begun by Tim Lahaye, is full of former CIA operatives: including Oliver North, Chuck Missler and George Bush Sr who was a director of the CIA. Its primary membership is made up of wealthy right-wingers and a veritable who's-who of Christian pastors and teachers who push the futurist eschatological position in an effort to steer citizen support for right-wing foreign policy.
The founder of Blackwater, Erik Prince, is also a member of the CNP. Blackwater was the private mercenary firm employed by American businesses like Halliburton in Afghanistan following the American invasion of that country.
Pat Matrisciana was the CIA operative who worked with Chuck Smith and Bill Bright to startup the Jesus Freaks and Campus Crusade. He currently serves as a board member for Koinonia House, the ministry of Chuck Missler (himself a CIA operative, who credits Hal Lindsey with recruiting him into ministry under the umbrella of Chuck Smith). Matrisciana is also a member of the CNP.
The below article doesn't get into specific operations, but it points out that the CIA admitted to manipulating Christian organizations during the 60s and 70s

Oh dear clutch your Pearls there are Christians in the military who might be following their great commission.If you remember it being mentioned here, Campus Crusades had an annual budget of half a billion dollars.
