Sales of Last Days Madness are at record levels. We are selling it by the case. Mainline publishers like Zondervan, Kregel, and Baker are giving the preterist interpretation of Bible prophecy a hearing. According to Jesus is encouraging. Even so, the end-time prognosticators have the edge.
Some publishing houses make their living on speculative prophecy books.
The apocalytic book market has been broadened with the introduction of the prophetic novel. A great deal of fiction surrounds the futurist's belief in antichrist. Hal Lindsey wrote in 1970 that the Antichrist was alive somewhere in the world. But he's not going to become this awesome figure that we nickname the Anti-Christ until Satan possesses him, and I don't believe that will occur until there is this 'mortal wound' from which he's raised up. That likelihood is based upon a sober evaluation of current events in relation to Bible prophecy.
