A 13th Prediction –
Without a doubt we are living in a time of great change. The next ten years are sure to be mind-blowing in their technological advancement and cultural decline. According to the 12 authors of I PREDICT! our generation is seeing a convergence of social, political, militaristic, and economic trends which the Bible foretold long ago.
This book is comprised of 12 chapters written by twelve respected authors, each providing a summary of his or her unique perspective on how events and trends of our generation are precursors to the end of this age and the return of Christ. I should make clear this is not a book about dating the return of Christ or the rapture but rather an overview of events and social trends with an eye to increasing awareness of the day and age in which we live.
After reading the book it is clear that not all of the authors agree on every point of Bible prophecy. Personally I enjoyed reading the different points of view that were offered. Each chapter gives the reader enough information to challenge them to run down the facts for themselves.
To be sure with the differing opinions you’ll likely find something to disagree with in this book. I know I did. But for those willing to look past the disagreements you also be sure to find some great information which will really inspire you to dig deeper in the various subject covered.
My two favorite chapters of the book where:
• Dr. Gordon McDonald’s, The Age of Convergence
• Sharon Gilbert’s, The Hybrid Age Begins
If you read nothing else in this book Dr. McDonald’s chapter was worth the price of the entire book. An exceptional rendering of current trends and how they relate to Bible prophecy. Really well written and insightful.
* * *
Now I make no claim to being and global expert on Bible prophecy, on the contrary I’m just layman who has a great love of subject, but there is another aspect of Bible prophecy which has the potential to change how we see many of the important prophecies of the Bible over the next ten years. That change I believe will come through a realignment of the Bible prophetic record with a Biblically based reckoning of “time”.
Today most of the Bible’s prophetic record is interpreted using a calendar that did not exist when the majority of the Bible’s prophecies were given. Further today’s “prophetic” calendar would have been unrecognizable to the Old Testament prophets, the apostles and even Yeshua Himself.
Let me try to explain: When the prophecies of the book of Daniel were given, Israel used a lunar/solar calendar as defined in the Torah. Today, nearly 2500 years later, most of those prophecies are understood using a strictly lunar calendar of 30 day months. A calendar which many today claim is based upon a reckoning of time which existed long before the prophecies of Daniel were written. Confusing to be sure but that is the current consensus regarding Biblical “time”.
These assumptions are further complicated by the historical fact that Yeshua’s death and resurrection fulfilled the Biblical prophecies embedded in the festivals of Passover, Unleavened Bread and Firstfruits using a lunar/solar calendar as given to Israel at the Exodus, not a 30 day lunar calendar for which the Bible provides only very limited anecdotal evidence.
Over the next ten years as we draw closer to the fulfillment of many of the unfulfilled prophecies in the book of Daniel and Revelation, I believe you will see a realignment of the Bible’s prophetic record with a Biblical reckoning of time according to a lunar/solar calendar as defined in the Scripture. A calendar which I might add we have reasonable Biblical and historical evidence for since at least the Exodus of Israel from Egypt. The implications of this are just now being quietly discussed by leaders in the prophetic community. Expect to see this more openly discussed in the years to come.
* * *
In summary I believe anyone interested in Bible prophecy will find something worth further reflection and exploration in this book. Those who prefer to throw the baby out with the bath water will also probably find grounds to disregard many of the important facts of this book in light of their disagreements. Personally, in my own studies I’ve learned as much from those I disagree with as those I don’t. Some good reading in this book but keep your Biblical filter turned on and do your Berean duty to see if “those things be so”.

A DIVERSE COLLECTION OF ESSAYS, ATTEMPTING TO PREDICT THE FUTURE
Thomas R. Horn wrote in the opening essay of this 2016 collection, “there has been another ‘quickening’ and it involves the current Pope Francis… and the revelation I will shortly detail… with the same level of confidence I had when we foresaw that Pope Benedict would step down… there is a role that ISIS is playing… What is ISIS’ motivation? … Why are they killing? And what in the world is the ‘Islamic State’?” (Pg. 10-11) Later, he adds, “ISIS is in fact driven by very specific and ancient eschatological apocalypticism.” (Pg. 15)
He argues, “Pope Francis and other high-ranking churchmen have explicitly used precise ‘Just War’ terms… this is the dictum I… believe certain power brokers at the Vatican (what Father Malachi Martin called the Masonic ‘Superforce’) and the pontiff will knowingly use to engage the self-proclaimed caliph of the ISIS regime, who wants nothing less than a final, end-times holy war leading to the arrival of the Islamic Mahdi (Messiah)… Sometime over the next forty months, the Islamic State and/or its associates are going to use a weapon of mass destruction… the Roman pontiff will … call for the revitalization of the Christian rules for Just War…” (Pg. 21-22)
Joel Richardson asks, “if the Lord repeatedly and consistently emphasizes Muslim majority nations as being singled out for judgment at the Day of the Lord, then why do so many resist the idea that the Antichrist will come from this part of the world?” (Pg. 38) Later, he adds, “When we insert the key of Islam into the often-puzzling world of biblical prophecy, everything comes into alignment and suddenly makes perfect sense.” (Pg. 52)
Carl Gallups reports, “In 2015, Pope Francis boldly called for a GLOBAL GOVERNMENT SYSTEM to combat man-made global warming. For the first time in history, a world-renowned religious leader actually suggested that the world should usher in the one-world governance mechanism. And, for the first time in history, we have the technology and the politically correct global atmosphere to pull it off.” (Pg. 94)
Josh Tolley predicts, “there will be a catastrophe (i.e., war, massive terrorist attack, natural disaster) that will cause the declining energy prices to go back up. What late 2015 witnessed with declining oil prices will be revealed as an OPEC effort to cripple US energy production.” (Pg, 112)
Derek Gilbert argues, “Contrary to the publicly expressed opinions of Western political leaders and progressive pundits, groups such as … ISIS do not represent the lunatic fringe of Islamic thought… the Islamic state hasn’t hijacked Islam, it is a PURER FORM of Islam---and it has a hands-on approach to jump-starting the Apocalypse.” (Pg. 140-141)
Gilbert acknowledges, “How can the prophesied Third Temple be constructed when the site is already occupied by the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosque?... Admittedly, at this point in history, it is difficult to imagine an answer to that question… Still, there are several ways this might be accomplished… and earthquake could clear the Temple Mount… Another (admittedly less plausible) option would be to construct the Third Temple on the Temple Mount without disturbing either the Dome of the Rock or the Al-Aqsa Mosque… However, this alternative has found little enthusiasm among Muslim authorities.” (Pg. 149-150)
Josh Peck suggests, “my research … has led me to belief there are basically three types of UFOs… The third type … are completely extradimensional in nature. They are not built by natural materials…which completely breaks the known laws of three-dimensional physics. For example, they can change shape and color, be in more than one place at one time… These accomplishments would be physically impossible if the craft were limited to three spatial dimensions. However, given the existence of four or more spatial dimensions, these feats are completely possible.” (Pg. 162-163)
Troy Anderson reports, “Although the Bavarian government outlawed the Illuminati, and other secret groups a decade a decade later, many researchers believe members of these organizations later infiltrated the Freemasons, the political realm, European royalty, and the world’s most powerful banking families… Over the last two centuries, researchers believe the Illuminati helped inspire or morphed into a variety of powerful clandestine organizations in existence today, including Yale University’s Skull and Bones… the Bilderberg Group, Bohemian Grove, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Club of Rome, and the Trilateral Commission.” (Pg. 227-228)
Gordon McDonald notes, “Ocean transportation had a relatively low impact for hundreds of years. Celestial navigation was developing slowly and separately during the same period. When the two technological ‘trends’ became mature and convergent, they changed forever the course of human history … This is an example of the vast transformative power of convergence. Once you realize this perspective, the concept of convergence becomes apparent everywhere… the convergence of technologies has become so commonplace, and so powerful, that we neglect to either recognize its scope or wonder at the continual parade of miracles it has produced over the centuries.” (Pg. 239)
He adds, “Persecution of those who maintain and demonstrate a more accurate and effective worldview will increase with more and more negative, ruthless actions… these singled-out groups will be required to endure real social and personal threat… As the Church continues to point out the failed logic of risking everything for the unconfirmed promise of a technological advance, it will be ostracized as an impediment to the advancement of mankind. Even now there are symptoms of such aberrant belief behavior. Several legal actions are being filed to legalize human-robot marriages… Cross-species DNA splicing has become a popular topic of research… There is ongoing research into creating more destructive bombs by splitting the smallest building blocks of matter, quanta. All of these and more can be a point of contention between an insane worldview and one dedicated to the good of all.” (Pg. 245-246)
In the concluding essay, Paul McGuire states, “Today, America is in the greatest crisis it has been since the founding of our nation. The questions before us are: ‘Will America or at least a “remnant” of Bible-believing Christians repent of our sin of turning from God and cry out to Him for a Third Great Awakening? Or will we continue to be seduced in the church and the nation by the lie of the ‘serpent of old’ who told Adam and Eve, ‘You shall be as gods’?... It is this question that plays out with great subtlety in the pulpits of America, where the truth of God’s Word has been displaced with subtle lie that we can save ourselves through humanistic, motivational sermons… Americans believed, until only recently, that the American dollar, economy. Military, science, technology, and government, only with American know-how, could save us from the plight of lesser-developed nations. Now that belief is fundamentally challenged as America is plagued with economic problems, social problems, a war on terrorism, and the real prospect that the dollar will no longer be the world’s de facto currency.” (Pg. 300-301)
Less “far out” than many other publications from Defender Publishing, this book will appeal to some Evangelicals with leanings toward ‘conspiracy-thinking.’

Good summary of prophecy writers that I follow.
As everything prophetic is coming to a head, a must read. Only one author that I missed was Missler, but well worth reading.

This book consists of chapters written by 12 seperate experts in predicting the future.
As can be expected, the quality varied from author to author, but overall the pieces were quite interesting. Unfortunately, they wrote them in 2016, and with us now being at 2022 we do not seem to be on target to hit their predictions by 2025 unless something extraordinary happens.
The pieces that stuck to predicting extrapolating from the Bible were the best in my opinion, but I don't see world war any time in the near future.

This book was just okay. I was expecting something much more interesting than it ended up being. For being titled, “I Predict!”, there wasn’t a whole lot of speculation about what the future holds for us. I found chapter 9: “The Rise of a Final End-Times Global Government” to be the most interesting and eye-opening chapter of them all. Overall, the book just seemed too basic and simple, and I was really hoping for more meat to chew on.

A disappointment
For me, this book was hard to follow. Lots of jumbled up information with little clear, chronological information. With some of the forecasts, by the end of the presentation i wasn't even sure what the prediction was for that segment.

Forecasts in the Future
Interesting information by expert authors who have dug deep into history and current politics and philosophy. America is at the crossroads. This is a critical time. This book will give helpful insights to help the reader navigate current issues.
