It is a fool’s errand to predict specific events, within a year’s time span.
To be able to do so with any degree of certainty is rare.
For instance, I predicted that Biden would win this election. I was certain enough of it that I relocated. But I wasn’t completely sure. And there were times when I allowed myself to hope — and pray — for a different result, a prolonged reprieve.
Sometimes, God’s answer is “no”.
What we can do is project, based on trends. And on “understanding the times”, as the sons of Issachar did. Which is an understanding within the context of God’s narrative of redemption, and our temporal location within it.
Here’s what I can say with absolute certainty will happen over the next year:
people, as a whole, will grow more stupid. More easily led. More compliant. More divided.
The information available to them will grow more homogenous. Alternatives to the 24/7 lying, Godless, Leftist propaganda machine will become harder to find. Youngsters will become ever more indoctrinated into the Marxist/Darwinist/BLM bullshit. Those given the intellectual honesty and courage to stand up to it will become more and more ostracized.
The Left will become ever more recklessly and radically insane. Madness begets madness. I will predict specifically that Biden doesn’t last the year. And the most reprehensible person I have ever seen in national politics will become the President. A person who makes Hillary seem warm, genuine, attractive, and likable by comparison.
The Right will become ever more confused and discouraged and dispirited. The masses will have fewer and fewer venues of truth to edify them. I’m tempted to say FoxNews will not last the year. It might. But its days are numbered. The “voices in the wilderness” — the Victor David Hansons, the Candace Owens, the outstanding multi-ethnic lineup of regular contributors on Carlson and Ingraham — will increasingly become just that. Voices in the wilderness, almost completely unheard, as the Big Tech companies suppress their online presence. Perhaps they will continue to appear on FN, if it is not silenced.
There will be outbreaks of violence. If it is from the Left, it will be unreported. If it is from the Right, it will be misreported and mischaracterized. That’s same ol’ same ol’ — but more so. There will be an intensification of this effect. And its consequences.
The Covid lockdowns will continue to be enforced and reprieved, with no real predictability. Because they will continue to be implemented for political, not scientific, reasons.
There will be crackdowns on anyone the Left views as a threat.
How much violence, how severe the crackdowns… cannot be foreseen. We’ll have to see how that cake bakes.
This land will continue its downward trajectory of a sad, confused, melancholy, dismal former great power. A nation that has turned its back on its own greatness, and the source of it: a prevailing belief in the sovereignty of God in the affairs of men. Truth will have fallen victim to propaganda, as we saw today with the fraudulent impeachment vote. Power will continue to corrupt more absolutely. Humor and wit will be almost non-existent, as they both require truth in order to thrive. And truth will be a cancelable, and even criminal, offense.
We will, in effect, transform steadily into California, NYC, Portland, Chicago, and all the other oppressive, deranged, Blue State dystopias.
And above all else: God will be “large and in charge”. His purpose being orchestrated in the midst of incalculable exercises of sinful free will. Everything concurring with His plan of redemption, which is drawing inexorably to its climax — "everything", including the Godless Left’s takeover of this country, as inevitable and unstoppable as the tsunami following a great shaking. Bringing with it a rapidly rising flood of every filthy, horrible, perverse, ruinous, destructive, and malignant thing imaginable.
And some beyond imagining.
So:
“Let not your heart be troubled”. Monitor events. But don’t put your faith, hope, trust, or treasure in this world. Keep your eyes firmly on the source of your salvation, the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Because the way it’s looking, some of us may be translated “Home” before the year is out…. ( ^ ;
