"What Does The Bible Say About 2020?"

Predicting the future is both tricky and dumb, and yet, people go on doing it. Why? Because people love it. They eat it up. They're even willing to pay for it. And so, of course, people continue to make predictions. Too bad no one seems to notice (or remember) how few of them come to pass. Google '2020 predictions' and we predict you'll get a ridiculous mix of astrology, I Ching, Nostradamus, and a wide variety of psychic prognosticators. Oh, and just enough Bible prophecy to discredit it along with all the others. That's right. Mix it all together--and voila--the Mayans, the Hopis, and the Bible are all equal.

Wait a minute. The purpose of this blog is to examine biblical prophecy and to raise a word of caution regarding non-biblical attempts to predict the future. We are continually shocked to discover how many people believe there is no significant difference!

Because we are living in the most incredible times the world has ever known, it is becoming clear even to the dimmest among us that something unusual is happening. Everything from political crises to international conflicts bombard us daily. Every new turn of events reminds us that the 'tipping point' could be just around the corner. And it could be. But one of the dangers of such expectations is the wild speculations that are sure to follow.

Instead of wildly speculating, why not use the signs of the times as a motivation to seriously study what the Bible has to say about our future?

As prophecy teacher Dr. Ed Hindson put it: "Along the highway, signs are used to identify locations, provide information, and give warnings. The same is true of prophetic signs. They stand out on the biblical horizon to get our attention. They give a glimpse of things to come--but only a glimpse. Signs are not intended to give all the details of future events, yet they do play a prominent role in biblical prophecy."

Much is being said about 2020 (to put it mildly). Will Trump be forced out of office? Who'll be our next president? Will the economy keep booming? Or will it suddenly go bust? Your guess is as good as ours.

Speculating about the future beyond what the Bible actually predicts is a dangerous game we don't want to play. Look no further than the last election.

"You have more than enough advisers, astrologers and stargazers. Let them stand up and save you from what the future holds. But they are as useless as dried grass burning in a fire. They cannot even save themselves" Isaiah 47: 13,14.

"Is The Left Unhinged?"

In every midterm election since the Civil War, the president's party has lost, on an average of, 32 seats in the House of Representatives and two in the Senate. This year's midterm could prove even worse.

The reason? Republican congressmen are retiring in droves. So far, roughly 40 members are slated for departure.

"If conservatives--and in particular, evangelical voters--do not turn out, the House will change hands," predicts Tony Perkins, President of the Family Research Council.

"One of the first orders of business will be the impeachment of President Trump," he said. "And while the Left may not succeed in removing him from office, they will most likely succeed in stopping what this administration is doing.

"And what is it doing? The Trump administration isn't just enacting a conservative agenda in line with the Constitution. It is systematically dismantling the policies of its left-wing predecessor," Perkins said.

"That's why the Left is unhinged. They won't be able to jump back in the driver's seat and shape policies that aim to remove Biblical values from the public square. They'll have to rebuild--and that will take time, especially if they don't have the courts to help them in their activism.

"Some of our fellow Christians remain skeptical or indifferent about our engagement in the political process. Don't be foolish. Elections have consequences--many of them far-reaching ones, as we continue to see from the years of President Obama."

The bottom line? It's up to us. If the Christian doesn't care, won't pray, refuses to vote: We lose with a capital 'L'.

A wise man once said: "We have to act while we can, to fortify our freedoms and ensure that government doesn't try to quarantine our Christian faith within the four walls of our churches." 
--Tony Perkins, Family Research Council

"So be careful how you live, not as fools but as those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity for doing good in these evil days" -- Ephesians 5:15-16.
