2010: What to expect based on Bible prophecy

Although Bible prophecy does not predict events for the year 2010 in particular, it does predict the general course of events over the next decade or two, and it does contain prophecies that pertain specifically to the United States and several other nations.

Bible prophecy predicts rough times for the United States, Great Britain, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand in about the next 10 or 15 years.

In 2010, I expect a continuing weakening of the United States economy and military. Even if the economy seems to partially recover, it will continue to weaken below the surface. We are being set up for a catastrophic collapse. As budget and trade deficits continue and grow, the dollar will continue to weaken and the danger of hyper-inflation will increase.

If Israel attacks Iran to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, Iran is likely to attack oil facilities in the entire Persian Gulf region as well as oil shipping in the gulf with its missiles, as a general retaliation against the West. If that happens, the supply of oil will be disrupted, and gas prices in the United States will rise dramatically. Inflation and a weakening of the dollar may also cause increases in gas prices.

I also expect Republican gains in the mid-term elections in the United States Senate and House of Representatives, gains that may give them a majority in one or both houses.

As I point out in my article The United States and the World in Bible Prophecy, events are setting us up for a disaster of unprecedented proportions. That disaster will not occur in 2010, but will most likely occur during the lifetimes of most of you reading this. You can read that article in my website at http://www.united-states-in-prophecy.org.
