Maybe you know about Hal Lindsey, a lot of people give him a bad wrap. One thing about it, he's been watching and studying the Bible about the end-times for a long time! Most people will learn from mistakes and grow in their understanding and wisdom. I thinkt that we might ought to hear him out now. He's been watching political developments in relation to end times prophecy for decades, and the thing is, more and more are beginning to agree with what he's saying!
Everyone knows there were some devastating natural disasters this past week. Let's take a look at Lindsey's analysis:

The world has endured an almost mind-numbing series of shocks in recent weeks, from the unprecedented swarm of tornadoes across the American Midwest to the death and destruction wrought by Cyclone Nargis as it tore a path through Myanmar, better known as Burma.

There were 368 documented tornadoes in the U.S. in January and February of this year, shattering the previous record of 243 over that two-month period, set in 1999. February's total of 232 tornadoes also shattered previous records.

Back in 1969, the year I wrote "The Late, Great Planet Earth," the USGS identified a total of seven "significant earthquakes." I had noted in 1969 that there was a slight but discernible increase in worldwide earthquake activity since Israel's rebirth in 1948.

During the entire decade of the 1970s, the USGS recorded a total of 44 earthquakes it classified as "significant." The following decade, from January 1980 to December 1989, the USGS recorded 47 significant earthquakes. That is for the entire decade. From 1990 through the end of 1999, the USGS records 57 significant earthquakes. From 2000 thru to Monday's earthquake in Sichuan, China, the USGS recorded an astonishing 109 earthquakes of at least magnitude 7.0 and 13 earthquakes measuring between 8.0 and 9.9 on the Richter Scale.

On the other side of the world, the long-dormant Chaitan volcano erupted May 2 for the first time, say geologists, in more than 7,000 years. The BBC reported that a government volcano expert warned there could be a big eruption at any time.

When Jesus was asked by His disciples to tell them what "signs" would precede His return at the end of the age, He warned that "nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines, plagues and earthquakes in various places," He said (Matthew 24 and Luke 21). Using an analogy immediately understandable to all peoples in all nations, he said of these signs, "All these are the beginning of birth pains."

With all this happening at the same time on planet earth, it seems like the time is upon us. God is sending a messsage to the earth's inhabitants to turn from their wickedness and trust in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of their sins.
There is no other name under heaven, given to men by which we must be saved" (Acts. 4:12).
