Obituary of Dr. Edward E. Hindson
Dr. Ed Hindson, 77, of Forest, VA, ran through the gates of heaven into the throne room of his Lord and Savior Saturday, July 2, 2022. Surrounded by his loving family, Ed passed from this life bound by time into eternal life with a hopeful smile on his face and his eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of his faith. Born in Detroit, Michigan, December 21, 1944, he was the son of the late Edward James Hindson and Helen Snyder Hindson. In addition to his parents, his brother, Ronald James Hindson, preceded him in death. Ed was the first in his family to hear the gospel and accept God’s gift of salvation as a young boy at the age of 6. The rest of his family and succeeding generations followed his example in loving and knowing Jesus. Because of Christ’s power at work in Ed, he changed the legacy of his family from godless to God-filled, from uneducated to educated, from fear to faith, and from hopelessness to unexplainable hope and expectation, anchored in the truth that he proclaimed boldly all over the world…that one day soon, The King is Coming! Dr. Hindson was the Dean Emeritus of the School of Divinity at Liberty University and Distinguished Professor of Religion for over 35 years. He holds earned doctorates from Trinity Graduate School (Th.D.), Westminster Theological Seminary (D.Min.) and the University of South Africa (D.Phil.). He authored over 40 books, many about heaven and Bible prophecy. He also served as the Bible teacher on The King Is Coming telecast sponsored by the World Prophetic Ministry. He is survived by his wife of 55 years, Donna Jean Hindson; two daughters, Linda Barrick and her husband Andy, and Christy Murphy and her husband Jeff; one son, Jonathan Hindson and his wife Amanda and seven grandchildren, Jennifer Barrick, Joshua Barrick and his wife Brooke, Allie Murphy, Ashley Murphy, JD Murphy, Evan Hindson and Fenn Hindson. His family described Ed’s passing as their highest act of worship, sending him from grace to glory while proclaiming the words that their “Papa Ed” used to close many of the books he wrote and echoing the final words of Scripture: “Come, Lord Jesus!” A service celebrating his life and faith will be conducted at 11:00 a.m. Thursday, July 7, 2022, at Thomas Road Baptist Church with Pastor Jonathan Falwell officiating. Interment will follow in Virginia Memorial Park. (The service will be live-streamed and archived at watch.trbc.org). The family will receive friends from 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday at Whitten Timberlake Chapel. Those wishing to make memorial contributions are asked to consider: Knowing Jesus Ministries, Dr. Hindson’s non-profit ministry that sends out his biblical resources and helps spread the gospel around the world!
