English Summary:

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

The Late, Great Planet Earth is the title of a bestselling 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.

Orson Welles narrates and appears in this fascinating but sobering story of the human race and its threatened annihilation. As foretold by Bible prophecies and corroborated by world-renowned modern scientist, this film connects these prophecies with ominous events that are actually happening in our lifetime and boldly contemplates the future that awaits us. Based on the best seller by Hal Lindsey, the film was also a considerable theatrical hit in its day.

The Late, Great Planet Earth is a best-selling 1970 book by Hal Lindsey with Carole C. Carlson, and first published by Zondervan. The book was first featured on a prime time television special featuring Hal Lindsey in 1974 to 1975 with an audience of 17,000,000 and produced by Alan Hauge of GMT Productions. Years later, it was adapted by Rolf Forsberg and Robert Amram during 1976 into a film narrated by Orson Welles and released by Pacific International Enterprises. It was originally ghost-written by Carlson, whom later printings credited as co-author. Lindsey and Carlson later published several sequels, including Satan Is Alive and Well on Planet Earth and The 1980s: Countdown to Armageddon.
