Now you couldn’t have honestly thought I didn’t know the real lyrics. And yes the next few years shouldn’t be too bad, but the psalmist warns in the year 2015 of the man-made gods of silver and gold (and other metals). We are warned that God will appear to have abandoned the earth, and many godless people will die in that year… 7 years from now. 2016 will be pretty bad, 2017 will appear to be a positive turn, but 2020 will thrust us back to despair with 2022 being a year marked by judgment for all the earth.

Wow, Daveed - the Soapbox Hobo should have his own commentary section on Paul Harvey. The line comes from a Paul Simon song, and depending when the recording is from, he says, “I was 21 years when I wrote this song/23 now but I won’t be for long.” The question is not whether we’ll survive this and the next set of seven, but if we’ll even make it through the next season. (We will.)
