April 29, 2002: Bible Prophecy - Hal Lindsey | Nancy Sinatra Interview
In the second half, prophecy author Hal Lindsey examines current events through a biblical lens. He connects escalating Middle East tensions, unusual weather patterns, an unidentified virus closing schools across Greece, and the Catholic Church abuse crisis to prophetic signs described in Scripture. Lindsey outlines how a dispute over Jerusalem could trigger a larger conflict involving Russia, Muslim nations, and eventually Asian forces. He argues these signs are increasing in both frequency and intensity, matching the pattern Jesus described.
Art also reports on a local incident in Pahrump, Nevada, where a teenager armed with a machete commandeered a school bus at 70 miles per hour before crashing, with plans to bomb the high school found in his backpack. The story underscores the broader discussion of societal breakdown and prophetic fulfillment.
