David, thanks for bringing this up. I should have mentioned that I respect Dave Hunt and some of his important work calling for discernment in the body of Christ. He was writing as one from the majority view in many evangelical circles. His book was written when Hal Lindsay was in his prime and before the Left Behind fictional end time books were made into movies.

My concern is that anyone who disagreed with his pessimistic view of the end times was called into question and challenged as a possible heretic. Today it is becoming more evident that the eschatology that Dave Hunt and others ascribe to should bear examination as any other teaching along these lines.

In God's time we will all know the full truth and will know as we are known. In the mean time we should try to listen and learn from one another and offer grace as He has offered us.
