The AD 70 Fraud

The foolishness of man knows no bounds

“Why would God destroy such a creation, Max questioned, if Abraham received a blessing filled promise? The dogmatic hellfire-and-brimstone messages of his youth turned Max off. It didn’t make sense to him that the victory of God would involve so many perishing and so few being saved”

∙“In contrast to Lindsey’s phenomenal success, The Spirit of Prophecy received little attention outside of Max’s immediate church tradition. Those who did take notice condemned it, much like the church had once done to Galileo for observing that the earth revolved around the sun”



∙“Through The Spirit of Prophecy and all that has followed the last three decades or more, Max King can be credited with founding an entirely new field of Christian millennialism that, unlike other efforts throughout the ages, will not be snuffed out”
