Dear John, Joe and Doves,
Hopefully, the release dates listed in the article were chosen by Tim LaHaye's publisher and not him. This however, would lead to other questions as well.
The cross and crown on Tim LaHaye's book is unmistakeably the symbol for the Knight Commandry degree in Freemasonry.
This is the 27th degree in the Scottish Rite. Christians should have nothing to do with Masonry. The hexagram on a Bible is terrible and no more needs to be said.  Any who are interested in the errors of the Left Behind series can go to http://www.libertytothecaptives.net/             There is much more here.  This is the site of Lisa Ruby. She has written a book showing the false teachings in the series. There is also lots of other good teaching on this site. She is not pre-trib, but doesn't attack those who are. I do believe there will be a pre-trib rapture and that it will take place soon.
