The Late Great Planet Earth

The Late Great Planet Earth

Heaven and Earth will pass away, but my words shall not pass away. Matt. 24:35

PG 1978 · 91 min · ★ 5.0 · Documentary

The Late, Great Planet Earth is the title of a best-selling 1970 book co-authored by Hal Lindsey and Carole C. Carlson, and first published by Zondervan. The book was adapted in 1979 into a movie. The Late, Great Planet Earth is a treatment of literalist, premillennial, dispensational eschatology. As such, it compared end-time prophecies in the Bible with then-current events in an attempt to broadly predict future scenarios leading to the rapture of believers before the tribulation and Second Coming of Christ to establish his thousand-year (i.e. millennial) Kingdom on Earth.

Directed by Rolf Forsberg · Written by C.C. Carlson
