A little over a year ago, when the street demonstrations that eventually brought down the Hosni Mubarak regime were unfolding in Cairo, Egypt, I reflected on the situation in a commentary published on this site, looking at the events in the light of Bible prophecy as understood by Tomorrow’s World. A year later, the observations in that piece have played out much as expected. Where do we now stand?

Well, it is almost over. In fact, many of you will read this well after it is over. Soon, December 21, 2012—and all of the New Age delirium associated with that date—will be a faded memory. No planetary collision with a “Planet X” or “Nibiru.” No reversal of the earth’s magnetic poles. No UFO rescues. For that matter, no new global wave of peace and prosperity. December 22 will bring the same worldly worries as December 20—and December 21 will have made hardly any difference, like any other day. So, what do we do now?

Storms, wildfires, earthquakes, and other natural disasters have frequently dominated the news over the past several years. These catastrophes cause massive power outages, food shortages, and billions of dollars in damages to personal lives and property. Do we see these events, and think to ourselves, “Wow!
