WASHINGTON, D.C.—I’m not in the business of making predictions.
Some of my novels have seemed eerily prescient, I concede, but I’ve never claimed to be a psychic, a seer, a clairvoyant or a modern Nostradamus.
The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob – that is, the God of the Bible – knows the future.
I do not.
That’s why the Lord states so clearly in the Scriptures: “Only I can tell you the future before it even happens. Everything I plan will come to pass, for I do whatever I wish.” (Isaiah 46:10, New Living Translation)
As we head into 2022, therefore, I have no intention of making geopolitical predictions or social and cultural prognostications.
But in a moment I will share with you the 14 biggest global and Middle East stories that I’m tracking closely as we head into this new year.
