anyone wanna make a prophecy as to the next several years/decade?

[bandaidsrcool]

starting to get a better view of issues, and trying to remain cheerful. what random bits/thoughts do you have? diabetes, excitotoxins, alzheimers, gas 6/gal this fall which will mess with prices... not sure what nafta will do really. and curious about what deal was made with japan. anything/thoughts/story whatever you've got : )
lol... i'll pass on the proof of anything negative, thanks i view biblical stuff (riders in particular) as referring to cycles, not an actual end. a collective community of some sort would be nice, at least for the elders? ~imagines some scifi happy ending.. parallel worlds...

I feel that the end of the "bad" cycle is nearing, with the badness peaking in a few years and then it will start to get better, as we go into the new cycle mentioned by the Mayans...

We are experiencing many revolutions...people are tired of the old, dictator ways of things being done, and so, they are pushing for more democracy, or something styled in that manner.

Once we get rid of those who try to control the masses, we will be a lot better off, since we will then be controlling ourselves, with a chosen govenment to do as WE ask them to do.

The current real problem today is North Korea, it will not give in easily, and will probably start a war, leading China into it as an allie...and the world will be in for a long, hard terrible fight...but we will win in the end, and the world will then settle into a more peaceful and pleasant way of life.

As for gas prices....in 1960, the price was 32 cents a gallon...wages were 75 cents to 1 dollar an hour. Figure gas price to wage back then... about one third.

$3 a gallon, $9 wages... about the same. Gas just hasn't kept up with the cost of living, and so now, when it is up there, people complain. But they still own their big 4X4 trucks and campers and boats...etc.... They still go to high priced games, where the players make a fortune...and this is for all games, football, basketball, baseball, etc... so how can we really be that bad off? As for unemployment...at least here where I live.... the department stores are empty of employees...no one around to wait on customers.....so why isn't anyone wanting to work? Too many hand outs by the government, that's why.

If we were really as bad off economically as they say, people would be working everywhere, there would be not jobs available because of all the positions being filled, and the wages could be low, but people wouldn't care, they would work anyway....

It might get to that point, but for now... they can still afford to go to the ball games..

Sure -
The 'financial meltdown' of '08[Jer51:13] will lead to Rev18:7, this happens before "Death to America!"[Rev17:16] is fulfilled in 2018AD when America is given over to Islam.
The turmoil in the Islamic nations of the middle east will give rise to one man being given the 'Great Sword'[Rev6:4] of Islam to rule over them[so much for the 'arab spring' and the rise of democracy in the mid-east].
The American dollar WILL be worth less than the paper on which it is printed.
There very well could be a huge drought which leads to world-wide famine before the decade is out.
After America falls to islam in 2018AD, the ruler of Islam will require ALL to show a mark of loyalty before they are allowed to buy or sell food or any other items. No mark, no food! Those refusing to take the mark will be killed, remember at this time America and Americans are a conquered people. In Islam, a conquered people are shown little if any mercy. Sharia law will be imposed upon the conquered people, as it will be imposed upon the world.

What else -
After America is given over to Islam the ruler will have access to all Americas' armaments, thus the rest of the world will say 'who can make war against him?'[Rev13:4]

This is probably a little different than what you were thinking.

Oh, and the 'financial meltdown' of Jer51:13 happened 7 years to the day from 9/11, 9/11 itself a judgment - for the Scopes' monkey trial of 1925AD.

Want proof?

I think that people will realize that there's more to life than material goods, and I feel that we have the potential to bring about a spiritual (not religious, mind you) revolution; a re-tooling of the collective mindset.
