GEO-POLITICAL
Covid is over. The last gasp (omicron) has already taken place. Natural immunity saves the day. The attempts by corrupt leaders to try to capitalize on fear are collapsing. Tyranny is being exposed. The tool is demonic fear.
China teeters on collapse. This means danger. Taiwan is in the crosshairs. A wounded tiger will strike. It is depending on Russia to be its partner but that will fail. This is a danger. Russia will slowly become an ally in practice to the USA. It knows that China is an unstable, even dangerous partner. We will see the beginning of this in 2022.
European leadership will fall as populations become less and less tolerant of the decline. They will be replaced by even more right wing leaders or far left. No middle of the road.
There will be events in the climate that will cause many to attempt to create fear again. As the pandemic subsides, the need to use fear as a control will cause leaders to try to capitalize on another intangible threat. There will be a drought in certain key commodity production regions, perhaps in the USA. This will be the worst we have seen globally for 40 years. Commodity prices will rise as stocks stumble. It is impermanent, but painful for many.
Countries that oppressed their people radically will find themselves in a state of near civil war. Canada, New Zealand and Australia are going to end up in a change state that is overdue. Some countries will drift into near communistic decline, Brazil and Chile.
The elections of 2022 will be wild but will follow the familiar pattern. Reversals of fortune for those in power will happen. The prophesied red wave will be smaller than we think. There will be corruption and contested results. It will still bode well for change, but the political scene will be messy. Voter fraud will be accused and found.
Biden will still be alive at the end of 2022 but there will be a move to replace him after the 2022 midterm elections. Not with Harris. A dark horse replacement will be found. Someone most are not thinking of right now. The pressure to displace the President will not root in his incompetence and age, but in the darkening scandal surrounding him.
The Epstein secret records will be finally be released and many will be exposed. Maxwell will spend time in jail. She is in danger.
ECONOMICS
The US economy will prosper but inflation will become a big problem. Crypto currency will rise and fall, rise and fall. The confidence many have in Crypto currency will be shaken by its volatility. By the end of 2022 there will be looming regulations and a settling out of value. Predictions of a wild bull run will disappoint many.
The stock market will see a 25% correction as inflation increases. Then come back slowly. Inflation will cause many to consider other options. The recovery will be 1/3rd as slow as the fall but the opportunities presented to the brave will be significant. Gas prices as the pandemic subsides will reach $4 per gallon and hold until production catches up. Shortages of all kinds will continue to plague the economy. Instability.
CULTURAL CHANGES
Racism accusations on the part of the victimhood cult have peaked. It becomes apparent that the noise surrounding all of the accusations is overwrought. Black Lives Matter and all the associated groups will lose whatever credibility they had.
Violence and lawlessness on the street will of necessity be dealt with harshly. Cities will cry for help. There will be objections, but the population is fed up. Watch New York City to take the lead. The people’s nose is full of this. Cities have become war zones. The battle to take them back will ensue in 2022.
Liberal delusional insanity will intensify as standard of righteousness in the bulk of the population will become such an obvious contrast until no one will believe people ever fell for such things. The cultural left is becoming a pariah. Trust in the left leaning media is collapsing. CNN has become a laughing stock. That will spread.
THE GOLDEN AGE - CREATING A SPIRITUAL WASTELAND
We are moving into a golden age in our nation, but a spiritual wasteland. We are losing the culture war and the world is happy for itself. Look at what is happening.
We are coming into a Golden Age in a secular sense: Fusion energy is coming, Small form Nuclear Plants and are becoming accepted as a solution to climate change, space travel is ramping up from private money leading to Mars colonization, the pandemic has changed how we work and where (not as much commuting), ANTIFA, BLM and the other thuggery is being rejected at all levels. Lawlessness is still rampant but that is now on the radar of even democrat leaders, the complete collapse of the trust in news media has created better critical thinking not that the illusions are gone. A satellite network will free people from censorship (Starlink), China is losing manufacturing that is moving back to the USA. We have learned to deal with pandemics in record time and also with therapeutics, e-bikes are changing everything, we are in much better health on average than we have ever been, The pandemic is changing to being endemic, we are living longer and better, standards of living are at an all time high, there are few actual world wars anywhere (there are armed conflicts and threats). Robotics is being used more every day. The Smart Phone has revolutionized our life. Even our health care monitoring is done by phone and watch. We carry in our pockets the gateway to a global library of information. Some is misleading, but we know more about our health and well being than ever before. We have never had it this good before, this is the best we have ever seen. We have never been healthier or more conscious of it.
A SPIRITUAL WASTELAND
Yet with all these developments we seem to be stuck in the world of the western Church. The changes with on line church services replacing gatherings are counter to the admonition not to forsake assembling together. The on line component isn’t going away.
Social media has replaced fellowship and in person relationships. Church exists in the metaverse. Millennials are abandoning organized religion. They want it but find what the Church offers to be insipid.
Western Christianity is changing. Most won’t recognize it after the transformation. It is becoming fractured and informal. There will still be Churches but they won’t look like we remember 20 years ago. Ministry and fellowship will be all that hold them together. It will be elemental discipleship that builds the body of Christ.
There are signs of awakening in various places, but the great awakening is not yet on the horizon. This is the result of becoming too comfortable. In countries with pain, Jesus is King, in western cultures He only an ornament celebrated seasonally. Atheism, agnosticism, people that don’t have room for God in their lives is a luxury that results from the peace and prosperity as we have in the west. The question is what Father will do to bring people back to Him. Do we really want to see that? I see this as happening in 2022.
Spiritually we are in a dangerous place. The Prophet Isaiah wrote to Judah and Jerusalem in the first 9 chapters regarding the danger the nation was in when prosperity was strangling love for God. But as the time matures and justice reigns, there is a hope and a promise. We are there again. Can we avoid the tragedy that accompanies this national apostasy? I don’t think so. Prophecy moves in large deep and long cycles. We are there again. The word of the Lord from Isaiah to Judah and Jerusalem was for them, but also to us in our day. Hear the word of the Lord. Review those first 9 Chapters for yourself. You will hear the voice of God speaking to us today:
The children I raised have turned against me. Oxen and donkeys know who owns and feeds them, but my people won’t ever learn.
Your country lies in ruins; your towns are in ashes. Foreigners and strangers your land while you watch.
Your leaders have rejected me to become friends of crooks; your rulers are looking for gifts and bribes.
They have endless treasures of silver and gold; they have countless ammunition and war machines.
Everywhere in the country they worship the work of their hands, what they have made.
The Lord All-Powerful has chosen a day when those who are proud and conceited will be put down.
He will let children become your rulers.
You will each be cruel to friends and neighbors. Young people will insult their elders; no one will show respect to those who deserve it.
Though you are God’s people, you are ruled and abused by women and children. You are confused by leaders who guide you down the wrong path.
Women are proud and strut around, winking shamelessly. They wear anklets that jingle and call attention to the way they walk.
I will take away from those women all the fine jewelry they wear on their ankles, heads, necks, ears, arms, noses, fingers, and on their clothes. I will remove their veils, their belts, their perfume, their magic charms, their royal robes, and all their fancy dresses, hats, and purses.
Their large and beautiful homes will be left empty, with no one to take care of them.
You are in for trouble! You get up early to start drinking, and you keep it up late into the night. At your drinking parties you have the music of stringed instruments, tambourines, and flutes. But you never even think about all the Lord has done for you
You think you are clever and smart. And you are great at drinking and mixing drinks. But you are in for trouble. You accept bribes to let the guilty go free, and you cheat the innocent out of a fair trial.
YET there is a promise
Those who walked in the dark have seen a bright light. And it shines upon everyone who lives in the land of dark shadows.
Our Lord, you have made your nation stronger. Because of you, its people are glad and celebrate like those at harvest time
You have broken the power of those who abused and enslaved your people. You have rescued them and saved your people
We can rise above this decline as we focus on what is real. Jesus doesn’t live in our time or our culture. He is the real culture. He orchestrates time. He isn’t surprised by anything we see today. He is preparing the way out. Don’t be lulled into thinking there is no hope. Don’t become entranced by the seem riches of this world that take your eyes off the eternal.
Spiritually and Culturally we are in the best of times and in the worst of times. May God have mercy on us all.
