Summary: Jesus is Alive Right Now!
Review: "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. But about that day and hour no one knows, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." (Matt. 24:35-36)If Jesus procalimed that message, and that this message is still supposed to have meaning for us today regarding the event of the second coming, why then do we have the audacity to even think that we may predict the end-time event with our limited minds? Scripture must interpret scripture and evidently Lindsey has misjudged, to a horrible extent, what interpretation is all about. If I were to take a survey of all of the people who have bought into Lindsey's misguided quest which he has built on a shoddy foundation of self-authenticating theories of biblical apocalypticism, it would not be surprising to me to find that the amount of cash flow going into Lindsey's books has outweighed the amount of money his supporters have spent on the hungry, the sick, and the lonely. The only integrity in his work is that our world is indeed fallen. But this is not anything new. That the world's fallenness is not new - which I believe to be self-evident if we were to take a short ride through history - asserts that the year 2000 has little significance for the second coming. People have been sinful before any one of us has been born. Thus this world has been fallen before any of us has been born. If this is true, and it is, then our technology, science, and cultural aesthetics should not be the mediums for judging whether or not Christ will indeed return in the next decade. In fact nothing in our capacity can predict that event. Scripture has even told us not to even try, but only to be faithful to the risen Christ. In short, Lindsey is not really promoting the Gospel of Jesus Christ who even now lives and reigns with the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit. If Jesus is alive to us today, why must we surrender His eternal grace to theories He has specifically told us not to surmise? Lindsey makes us miss out on Jesus Christ as He is alive even as you are reading this critique. And sadly, that is more akin to the Spirit of the Anti-Christ John spoke of in I John chapter 4 than what Lindsey's suppositions promote.

Summary: Compelling yet difficult to read through because of poor edi
Review: A compelling view of bible prophecy that was difficult to read through because of extremely poor editing that increasingly distracted from the book's content. Don't publishers proofread anymore?

Summary: Good for those, like myself, recently saved
Review: Althogh it is probably not for everyone, I did get alot out of it. For those seeking some potential clarification of Revelations it would be money well spent. I've heard Revelations is probably the most misunderstood book in the Bible. I think Lindsey offers plausible insight into the symbolism Revelations contains. If you desire this too go for this book. I don't have to accept all of an author's viewpoints in order to get alot out of any book (excluding the Bible, of course.) It was especially helpful for me in that I'm an American living in France without a church or other Christians to turn to for guidance. If someone knows of a better book on this suject I would read it and compare them. Merci, James Johnson

Summary: Required reading to understand today's world.
Review: Anyone who has heard the terms "Apocalypse", "Rapture" or "Antichrist" but doesn't really know what they mean should own this book. Hal Lindsey is able to discuss and explain the Bible's Book of Revelations in a straightforward, easy to read manner. He takes the symbolic language of Revelations and demonstrates how they apply to the world today. Even experienced students of Bible prophecy will find new insights into the reasons for the current world state. DO NOT PASS UP THIS BOOK!!

Summary: Hal decodes the apocalypse for us all
Review: Apocalypse Code interprets end-time prophesy from the eyes of the original author. John, "least of all prophets" recorded his visions while imprisoned on the remote desert island of Patamos off the coast of what is now Turkey. The central idea of the "Apocalypse Code" is:
1)John was a eye-witness of our end-times
2)John recorded his visions accurately, using all of the descriptive metaphors available to him in the age in which he lived. The "Code" is nothing more than a time warp of first century cultural expressions trying to describe our 21st century apocalypse. The author, Hal Lindsey, insists that it is our generation that has the ability to interpret the "Code" because none before us had references to what a swarm of metal grasshoppers might be, or what kind of a weapon might consume flesh from around a skeleton while still standing, or what kind of arrow never misses its mark when fired and stings with great effect, or how a 200 million man army might be assembled when there weren't even 200 million people in the whole world at the time of the writing. These reasons and many more lead both secular and believers to the same place: Until now, bible prophesies have been 100% correct despite all logical explanation. The dispersion of the Jews and the rebirth of Israel are two excellent examples. And now we have a set of prophesies about the end times centered on Israel. We see all nations of the world being drawn into the tension there, as predicted. However, oil and Islam are post-prophesy events. Amazing? Equally amazing are descriptions of our coming world government, a world identification system and system of money credits imbedded into the palm or forehead, against the backdrop of catastrophes like we have not seen in the history of mankind. Any idiot believing in world peace and in the solutions of man should do a word search on the phrase "Peak Oil" or "Post-carbon society". An honest analysis of the coming decades leads us inexorably towards visions of starvation, oppression, war and other events of "population correction". There simply is no other likely route from this point given the end of cheap energy. So again, Bible prophesy long precedes the relevant trigger events of the times in which they occur. We are the first generation alive which has the ability to interpret John's visions. Bible prophesies promise that we are the generation in which these visions will take place. Get "Apocalypse Code" to understand what is coming your way right now, in this generation. And check the accuracy by looking up references for yourself. And check all of that against current news events. All of this proves that the Bible is not only for the religious but for those who study history, and history to come.

Therefore, the prophesy promises that we are the generation in which these visions will take place. Get "Apocalypse Code" to understand what is coming your way right now, in this generation.

Summary: A great book on Bible prophecy
Review: Apocalypse Code is probably the book you want to buy if your interested in the Book of Revelation and end-time prophecy. Lindsey describes the various aspects of the Book of Revelation in great detail and he writes in a way that is pretty easy to understand. He also relates many aspects to the world we live in today. By doing this he shows the reader that he has extensive knowledge of international affairs. This, in my opinion, gives the book more credibility. The book should appeal to any Christian who is interested in spreading the gospel to those that are lost. Highly recommended!

Summary: This is one of the best prophecy books I have ever read!
Review: Apocalypse Code to me is one of the best prophecy books I have ever read. It is better than The Late Great Planet Earth. I like the way Hal Lindsey explains different parts of the book of Revelations in the Bible and relate it to modern science, technology, and logical other ways that the prophecies may be fulfilled. I also like the way the book explains how this generation is the likely generation that will see these things take place and I personally believe this. I recommend this book to anybody who is interested in Bible prophecy. Other books I would suggest are Grant R. Jeffrey's "Armaggedon" book and Jack Van Impe's "2001 on the Edge of Eternity"
