The Fourth Turning was written 20 years ago, and ACCURATELY predicted the elements of what our society has gone through so far. This article discusses the predictions for 2019 though to 2025.

It's all theory... of course.

But...

But well worth some consideration, especially for the hangman.

Lincoln’s election with only 40% of the popular vote, prompting the attack on Fort Sumpter, ...

Which is where I stopped reading. First, it's "Fort Sumter", and we have had good spelling checkers for over 20 years.

But secondly, the attack was prompted by an act of deliberate betrayal by the North. Lincoln had promised that Fort Sumter would not be resupplied, and the South had responded that they would allow the garrison to evacuate with full military honors.

Lincoln then broke that solemn promise, and ordered the Fort resupplied.

And so went the rest of the War Between the States, between me of honor and scoundrels. Alas for the old Republic, the scoundrels won.

Good stuff - we have been warned ... (I’m totally out of the stock market at this point.)

This was the most depressing thing I have ever read.

I am so screwed.

“The length of time from the American Revolution climax in 1781 until the Civil War climax in 1863 was 82 years. The next climax in 1944 was 81 years after the Civil War climax. Therefore, we can expect a climax to this current Crisis sometime in the 2025 range.”

So now I need to look up what happened around 1620 and 1700.

I think 2019 is where the Left (I include the Deep State here) begins to really try to punish its perceived enemies for daring to "defy" them. They only have the House, but they're going to signal by the legislation they propose. God forbid they gain power again.

Strauss and Howe predicted that Millennials would be a heroic generation, like the Founders or the WWII GI Generation. What are the chances of that happening?

They also admit that they had trouble fitting the years between the Civil War and WWI into their scheme. No heroic generation there either.

The Progressive Generation of a century ago is put into the same category as the Silent Generation of the 1950s or the Compromise Generation that failed to prevent the Civil War, which may or may not make sense to us, but which surely would have annoyed the progressives.

Maybe that is what we are in for now. No heroic generation to save us, but a complicated, conflicted, irritated and irritating generation that takes over and changes things without necessarily resolving anything.

You can't go wrong predicting that there will be a major crisis sometime, and if it doesn't tear us apart, it may bring us back together.

but if it extends until the end of January and food stamp money is not distributed to 40 million people (mostly in urban ghettos) all bets are off.

Good. It's time to be rid of society's leeches, and the criminal politicians who trade welfare checks for votes.

It would be the utmost of arrogance to believe our nation will be protected from destruction by an all-powerful God.

On the contrary. It is the utmost of arrogance to think He can't ultimately protect us from disaster and bring us through by His Divine Providence ...

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14)

Whether He will or not is another matter, likely dependent on our choices going forward...

Interesting theory but it doesn’t account for WWI, The Great War.

How can World War One NOT be considered a human crisis? Because it was 20 years too early to fit the cycle?
