LaHaye, and a fiction writer, have penned 7 accounts of the end-times based on LaHaye's interpretation of the Book of Revelation . They plan 5 more in the series. Now the Book of Revelation is the strangest book of the Bible. John the Revelator was sitting on an island when he wrote this work. The character of the book is quite bizarre and leaves one wondering if John hadn't smoked something or licked a unique variety of toad.
Revelation is filled with bizarre images which are a favorite of religious con men.
Because Revelation doesn't actually say anything very clearly, it is open to wide and wild interpretations. Larry King said that LaHaye's new book is on the New York Times best-seller list. What is amusing is that these predictions are only obvious after they have been fulfilled. If you go back to the Christian literature of a century and a half ago there is little mention made of the State of Israel. In fact, I remember reading some material put out by the evangelist Dwight L. Moody, the founder of the now-apocalyptic Moody Bible Institute in Chicago.
