Twelve Predictions for 2012

John Hoole – January 29< 2012

With all the problems the world is facing, it can be unsettling to the mind.  Today, I will share with you twelve predictions that will certainly be true.  They are one person’s opinion, but I believe they will be accurate.

1.      The Bible will still have all the answers.

Romans 11:33 KJV

33     O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

The Bible gives us basic principles for living:

         •  Spiritual life/God – Psalm 46:10

         •  Marital life/Spouse – Ephesians 5:21-33

         •  Parental life/Children – Ephesians 6:1

         •  Work life/Co-workers – Ephesians 6:5-9

6.      God will still provide for the needs of His people.

7.      God still wants you to be thankful.

For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.

12.    The promise of Christ’s return is still good.

John 14:1-3 NKJV

1       "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.

2       In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

3       And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.

You will notice that December 21 (Mayan calendar) is not mentioned among these predictions.
