I am not Daniel or Ezekiel. I’m not even George Orwell. So
if we’re still here in January 2021, you can either say, “Well, he totally
botched that,” or “Not too bad.” More likely it’ll be somewhere in between, as
it usually is. Age and experience give one a certain ability to estimate what
might be coming our way in our societies and churches. Basically, it is usually
something like whatever happened the last time we saw similar symptoms.
But the operative word here is “might”. There are always
factors for which we cannot account, the finger of God being far from the least
of these.
So with it very much in mind that the Lord will do what he
will in our world, let’s speculate about what we might see more of in 2020.
