I'm curious to know if anyone has read a recent novel called The Last Disciple, by Hank Hanegraaff. One foundational premise of the novel is that Revelation was written before the fall of the temple in A.D. 70, a viewpoint with historical credibility than many theologians chose to reject because it doesn't fit their theology. This premise sheds an entirely new light on interpreting Revelation, and directly challenges the theology of the Left Behind series. Read the book’s afterward or go to decipherthecode.com to read how faulty and literal interpretation of John's vision can lead to dualism, and negates the resurrection claim of Christianity, as was implicitly done in Left Behind's book The Indwelling.

Feel free to share your feelings about Is that the Left Behind Street Team at the door?. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
