What Trends Should Christians Be Watching For in 2024

Jeff Hilles Season 4 Episode 250

"Let us know what you think."

The year 2024 will be a window into our future. What are the major events and trends that will determine the direction humanity is headed from the perspective of a Biblical Christian worldview?

A Biblical Christian Perspective

As born-again believers, we know that our citizenship is in Heaven, not this earth (Phil. 3:29). We are called to be God’s emissaries in a sin-cursed world, to make a positive difference in the lives of others, and to draw them into personal relationship with a loving yet righteous God. We also know that God is in control, regardless of the outcomes of our individual lives, as well as that of our nation and our world.

As we look back over the last 30 years there has been an unmistakable drift away from the Creator of the universe and toward an inward, self-serving belief system. This coming year holds the potential of numerous markers that will make clear if humanity is riding on a pendulum that has reached its pinnacle and is starting to move back toward a stable and just society, or if we are on a continuing negative trajectory that can only be seen as a precursor to the end-times prophesy of 2 Timothy 3:1-5, Matthew 24:21-22, 2 Peter 3:3-4, and 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17. As in the parable of the Ten Virgins, Biblical Christians should be prepared, not anxious (Matthew 6:34), but watching for the Bridegroom because we truly don't know the day nor the hour of His return (Matthew 25:1-13).
