Biblical prophecy, Nostradamus, Joseph Smith


Salt Lake City, May 2018

Over the last few years I have listened to The Hal Lindsey Report, occasionally. I do not theologically embrace, dispensationalism, the rapture (instead I hold to, stand alone, the second coming/second advent) and I also am much less speculative in regard to eschatology (the last things).

But, the truth is that even those that present some significantly different theological views within the Church can at times, also provide significantly good, biblical insights.

That is the case with this video...

Mr. Lindsey lists some well-known Hebrew Bible prophecies which can legitimately and reasonably be connected to the first advent of Jesus Christ in the New Testament. This demonstrates the religious history of the life of Jesus Christ and his atoning and resurrection work that is applied to those in humanity, in Jesus Christ.

Mr. Lindsey interestingly contrasts reasonably biblical history and fulfilled prophecy (and to be fulfilled prophecy) with the very questionable prophecies of Nostradamus and the fairly obvious false prophecies of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints founder, Joseph Smith.

I share Mr. Lindsey's approach to (paraphrased) not 'pick-on' the Mormons, but instead contrast biblical prophecy with non-biblical prophecy in a not-heated way. This has nothing to do with friendship or not with Mormons.
