Lindsey's book is typical of the Dispensationalist view that the events of history are inevitable guideposts on the road to the end, foretold with unerring accuracy in the Bible. In Lindsey's chronology, the restoration of a homeland to the Jews was the first step, and the recapture of Jerusalem in 1967 a second step. This makes the rebuilding of the Temple possible, and Jesus predicted sacrilege in the Temple as a sign of the end.

Further exile took Baha'u'llah to Constantinople, Adrianople, and finally to the Turkish penal colony of Akka (in present day Israel) where he remained a prisoner until his death...
...Monet posed all the queries that are central to informal, painterly abstraction while working on his haystacks, cathedral facades and lily ponds-and solved most of them. He is the Cézanne of Abstract Expressionism, like him a prophetic figure who was much greater than what he foretold. This fact was recognized by the "rediscovery" of Monet that took place in New York in the late '50s (a feast considerately laid on for the return of a Prodigal Father who had never actually been away...
