What will happen in 2026?
I don’t know.
Anyone making big, bold predictions doesn’t know what he or she is talking about. This year was momentous, but aren’t they all? Since the beginning?
This past year was the year the attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities actually happened. We had waited 20 years. It was also the year a global tsunami of anti-Semitism swept over us. Moreso that at any time in the past 80 years. Today’s generations have no memory of Hitler’s hordes, and they are easily influenced by liars and deviants…many of them masquerading as American conservatives.
So we wonder: how fast will the train to eternity speed up in 2026?
In my humble opinion, one thing I think we should all focus on—besides continued support for Israel and study in God’s Word—is keeping our families safe. Through prayer, contingency plans, paying attention/keeping your eyes open.
The next 12 months might be momentous, or merely busy and chaotic. Another election steal in the midterms wouldn’t surprise me at all.
We have to stay steady. Remember that. When our present age threatens to overtake us, stay steady. Concentrate on that. Pray hard. Talk to the Lord with an open heart.
As to our love, Israel, God has His People where He’s always had them, in the safety of His mighty hand. Let’s look at where that is right now.
Hamas and Islamic Jihad claim they do not know where the body of the last Israeli hostage is located. Hamas also reiterates its insistence that it will not disarm, at the same time accusing Israel of delaying “phase 2” of the “ceasefire.” How’s that for insanity? Trump told Hamas from the beginning that disarming was a centerpiece of his plan, and they have continually thumbed their nose at him. Just this week, he has repeated his threat that “all hell will break loose” if they don’t. Sigh.
The Gaza Strip remains split in half militarily. Israel controls the outer perimeter. Just this week they discovered a series of what looked like homemade missile sites, crude weapons jutting-out of barrels. Hamas will never voluntarily give up the insane, satanic agenda of wiping out the Jews. We had hoped they would have been eradicated but that window of opportunity left when Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner blundered into the diplomatic corps.
And get this: In Italy, nine Hamas operatives were caught fundraising through fictitious organizations. Truly, “globalize the intifada” is a real thing. It is shouted on college campuses in the United States and elsewhere.
As Israelis continue to grieve lives snuffed out by the devils of Hamas, the terror group incredibly released a document “justifying” their malevolence!
“Hamas issued a 40-page document in English and Arabic entitled, ‘Our Narrative: Al-Aqsa Flood – Two Years of Steadfastness and the Will for Liberation.’ The document is part of Hamas propaganda to promote the ‘achievements’ of the campaign, and detailed the ‘motives’ for the October 7 attack and massacre, the course of the assault and the war, the movement’s efforts to halt Israeli ‘aggression,’ and the ‘achievements’ of the ‘operation.’ It also addressed the next stage of the ceasefire agreement, including full Israeli withdrawal from the Strip and its reconstruction, ‘protection’ of Jerusalem Judea and Samaria, opposition to normalization with the ‘occupation,’ and international prosecution of Israel. Hamas falsely claimed that the attack was intended to strike only the Gaza Division and military targets, not civilians and children, but immediately admitted that it held ‘prisoners who were not military personnel.’ Hamas also falsified the number of Israeli soldiers killed in the war. Hamas claimed the movement was an integral and deeply rooted part of Palestinian society and could not be uprooted, and that assessments suggesting the Palestinian people would abandon the ‘resistance’ or not support Hamas are ‘a gamble which will fail’ (Hamas Telegram channel, December 24, 2025).”
Burning children alive in front of their parents is legitimate?
So in this way, with this example, we can fairly accurately make general predictions: Hamas will continue its satanic agenda. Terrorism and Jew-hatred will continue across the world. All these things must apparently be until Jesus Christ returns.
We long for Him. Most of us are way past ready. We all have our own personal situations. Family. Careers. If we’re paying attention, we know that Jesus predicted things would wax worse and worse until the very end.
As I’ve said many times, we really don’t have to worry about Israel. We have tangible proof of that. Hamas intended that Hezbollah and Iran would join the fight on October 7, 2023, when their missile stocks would have placed Israel in lethal danger.
But that didn’t happen. God’s Word is the only true word in our world. God constantly backs that up and keeps all His promises.
So let’s resolve, together, to keep praying for each other in the New Year. Pray for the lost. Remember to use fulfilled prophecy as a tool for reaching the lost.
I wish you peace and contentment in this flawed world. We don’t know exactly what is coming, and as individual humans, we have no real ability to predict anything with accuracy, apart from Christ’s promises. Don’t try.
Maranatha!
