2012 is a good year no matter what happens. The world shall witness many more people becoming rich and wealthy. Oil and alcohol will continue their dominance over the world economy.

Also, the world shall witness the fulfillment of Biblical prophecies; especially, that of the Lord Jesus and the prophet Joel:

“And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places” (Mathew 24:6-7ff).

“And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.

And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come.

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call” (Joel 2:28-33ff; cf. 3:1ff).

As you have just read, preceding the Day of Jehovah is the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, which started 2000 years ago on the day of Pentecost:

“And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this? Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.

But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:

For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.

But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel” (Acts 2:1-16ff).

The God of the Bible is the God of heaven and earth. “He molds and directs all the circumstances and incidents of life.”

Again as to the two eminent great events, which are the Day of the Lord and the Day of Christ, no man knows the day nor the hour they will take place; it could be this year, next year or any moment from now:

“But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father” (Mark 13:32).

The major events according to Biblical prophecies are: More woes and unrest, trouble times, more wars, nature disturbances, extreme poverty, the heart of many people failing them, the eminent Day of the Lord or Jehovah, the eminent Day of Christ, many people becoming saved or born again, as the Holy Spirit intensify His work before the Day of Christ.

The key to these events is the nation of Israel. The eyes of the world must be on Israel; especially, Jerusalem and its inhabitants.

Nations and people that pray for the Kingdom of God to come, and for the Jewish people, would witness some blessings, because the fulfillment of the promise of God to Abraham and King David is eminent:

“In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:

That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the LORD that doeth this.

Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.

And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God” (Amos 9:11-15).

The time for Divine Judgement upon the wickedness of mankind would intensify to the “end of the present age.” God seeks the good of all them that seek Him, but His power and wrath is against all them that forsake Him (cf. Ezra 8:22).

The only safety net for everyone in the world is to accept Jesus Christ as Lord and personal Savior – He is the only hope of the world.

These events are determined by the Holy God and they shall surely come to pass. The day and hour of their happenings only God knows.

In conclusion, though, the world would continue to witness an intensification of calamities and woes, this year shall be one of great prosperity for may; especially, the people of God.

God bless you all, and Happy New year.
