2024: What Does The Future Hold?

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 '2024 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--Nostradamus, remote viewers (RV), and the Bible are all equal.

Wait a minute-not so fast. Our purpose here is to raise a word of caution regarding non-biblical attempts to predict the future... because let's face it gang, we are continually shocked to discover how many people believe there is no significant difference!

So let's move full steam ahead: We are living in the most incredible times the world has ever known, and 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 the late 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."

So what about 2024? Uncertainty and questions abound: Who'll be our next president? Will Trump be forced out of running or worse, be thrown into prison? Will the Gaza war escalate and ignite the whole region or peter out eventually? What if Putin makes a run on Poland? What will happen with Russia & Ukraine, China & Taiwan? Why is Japan so worried about North Korea? What about our own border crisis? Will the explosion of unvetted migration bring an Oct.7th-like attack on America as the FBI warns? What will happen with the U.S. dollar? Will there be a stock market rally or will the economy crash as some analysts predict? 

Want the truth? While there's no shortage of pronosticators hocking their wares, what it all boils down to is this: Your guess is as good as theirs.

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 few years.

A wise man once said: "For the believer, these days do not rattle us because Jesus said there would be days like this...Now is the time to share your faith with others who have no hope or are fearful of the things coming upon the earth."--Jack Hibbs, Senior Pastor, CCCH

"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).

"Does Knowing The Future Make You Uncomfortable?"

Can anyone doubt Bible prophecy plays a leading role in the New Testament? For instance: "Out of the 216 chapters in the New Testament, there are 318 references to the Second Coming of Christ," according to prophecy teacher Dr. David Jeremiah of Turning Point Ministries.

"If we were to omit all the prophetic passages, we would have to remove one out of every thirty verses in the New Testament," he said.

And that's not all. Dr. Jeremiah points out we would also have to skip 23 of the 27 New Testament books that mention prophecy. In fact, for every prediction about the birth of Christ, there are eight about His Second Coming.

And yet, many churches still neglect to teach on the subject. Why?

Dr. Jeremiah believes some avoid prophecy because it seems difficult to understand. Others feel too overwhelmed by the present to think about the future. And some (believe it or not) don't see its relevance.

"Jesus often spoke about the future and rebuked people who didn't recognize the significance of the events around them," contends Jeremiah and goes on to insist, "Jesus expects us to investigate what the Bible says about the future and seek His guidance as we attempt to understand the day and hour in which we live."

Given prophecy's prominence in Scripture, there can be little doubt Dr. David Jeremiah is absolutely right.

A wise man once said: "While many Christians are content to leave prophecy's pages shrouded in mystery and misunderstanding, it is the only reliable information about our tomorrows. God knows the end from the beginning and foretells the future with absolute accuracy. The Book of Revelation, along with other end-time prophecies, gives us a snapshot of the events that will precede the end of the world as we know it. The very word revelation means 'the unfolding of that which was previously hidden or unknown.'" -- Dr. David Jeremiah

"I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient time, what is still to come. I say "My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please"" (ISAIAH 46:10).
