Late Great Planet Earth

Book • 1998

Carole C. Carlson

Mr. Hal Lindsey

The Late Great Planet Earth is a treatment of dispensational premillennialism that compares end-time prophecies in the Bible with then-current events.

The book, written by Hal Lindsey with contributions by Carole C. Carlson, was first published in 1970 and became the bestselling nonfiction book of the decade according to The New York Times.

It discusses various signs foreseen by prophets from Moses to Jesus, such as the rebirth of Israel, the threat of war in the Middle East, an increase in natural catastrophes, and the revival of Satanism and witchcraft, all of which are seen as portents of the coming of an antichrist and a war that will bring humanity to the brink of destruction.

The book emphasizes the importance of biblical prophecy in understanding the imminent future of the planet.
