Mark Driscoll’s 10 Prophetic Predictions for the New Year

How should the church prepare for 2025?

In a recent message, Pastor Mark Driscoll gave his 10 prophetic predictions about what he believes the church will encounter in 2025.

“I believe that we have an opportunity as God’s people to pay attention to what is happening in the culture so that we can be best prepared for what God intends for His people, the church, in 2025,” says Driscoll.

1. Men are re-emerging as leaders for the future.

Driscoll points out that this year’s election was determined greatly by the number of men who showed up to voice their opinion about the kind of society they want to live in. Typically, it is the suburban women who make the difference in the election, but this year, Driscoll says, it was the male voter who stepped up to the plate.

“This is a historic opportunity, and we need to hear what the Spirit of God is saying to the churches,” Driscoll says. “And one thing that the Holy Spirit is saying is, ‘It’s time to make men a priority. It’s time for the church to value men again.’ And that what we have seen historically is that evangelicalism has become increasingly soft, weak, woke, compromised, and it is time for strong men to enter into the pulpit and enter into the ministry and lead with a sense of actual testosterone-driven, Elijah-like, Paul-like, Jeremiah-like prophetic courage.”

2. Young men are not interested in progressive ideology and are becoming increasingly interested in a traditional family lifestyle.

Driscoll points out that as young men are increasingly becoming more conservative and young women are becoming more liberal, we are seeing a fracturing in society.

“So, what does this provide for the church? Well, hear what the Spirit of God is saying to the church; an entire generation of young men is saying, ‘I want to be a man who marries a woman and works a job and has a family…’ the only hope is the church of Jesus Christ. This entire beginning and stirring of a young generation of men who are aspiring to conservative values like faith and family and freedom and fatherhood, the church of Jesus Christ is the only hope,” says Driscoll. “If you are a leader in a church or the pastor of a church…you need to refocus all of your energy and attention toward reaching young men, toward activating young men, toward discipling young men.”

3. Confidence in mainstream media continues to trend downward.

Driscoll points out that statistically, people continue to lose trust in traditional media, especially as its bias against Trump and toward Harris was so blatant this year. There is also a rise of alternative media that continues to grow. So, how is the church to respond to this change in media consumption?

“What does this provide for the church of Jesus Christ? It provides an opportunity to tell the truth. It provides an opportunity to function not in a political way, but in a prophetic way. Not where you’re trying to gain an audience, but where you’re trying to glorify God…what we are seeing is people are looking for the truth. People are desperate for the truth. People are hungry for the truth. People are sick of being lied to. They’re sick of sound bites and manipulation. What they want is truth, unvarnished…”

4. The reality of the demonic is coming to light in the mainstream culture.

Driscoll points to Tucker Carlson’s experience of being attacked by a demon and how his story has permeated throughout the nation, showing the reality of dark and evil forces.

“Ultimately, the demonic is mainstream. Demons are no longer just hiding; they’re parading,” says Driscoll.

“There really is an unseen supernatural realm, there really is a God and a Satan, there really are angels and demons, there really is spiritual warfare.”

5. There has been an explosion of Bible purchases made by non-Christians.

Driscoll notes that those who may not necessarily go to church or who do not know Jesus are seeking God in droves as they read the Bible for the very first time.

“Isn’t it curious that the Word of God is really, truly, living and active? Isn’t it amazing that all Scripture really is God-breathed and profitable? Isn’t it incredible that every Word of God is flawless and proved true? Isn’t it amazing that though we have so much technology what people want to do is find a copy of the Bible and open it and read it for themselves? Well, what is the Spirit of God saying to the church? You need to be in God’s Word.”

6. Israel has successfully taken out many terrorist leaders since the Oct. 7, 2023 attacks.

After the world was shocked by the Oct. 7, 2023 attacks in Israel, Driscoll points out that the this attack and the takedown of terrorist leaders by Israel has end times, prophetic implications.

“If you understand the Gog-Magog war, if your view of the battle of Armageddon is consistent with more of this [premillennial] view of the end times, it seems to indicate that there will be a war at the end of time where the nations surround Israel and seek to attack and destroy it,” says Driscoll.

7. The transgender agenda is beginning to plummet.

Driscoll says that as the transgender movement continues to become more outrageous, there is also a growth of people rejecting the ideology as valid altogether.

“It provides an opportunity to teach people that we’re made in the image and likeness of God. We are made with a soul, we are made with a body and we are made male and female. And, that the Bible speaks to men and women. It speaks to husbands and father. It speaks to wives and mothers, and it tells us to raise not just children, but sons and daughters…the people who have come to the conclusion that they have been lied to, that their children have been brainwashed, that a generation has been mutilated, they need Bible teaching…”

8. The number of abortions in the U.S. have increased since the end of Roe v. Wade.

As abortion was one of the center topics during the election season, Driscoll compares the act with the sacrificing of children as commanded by the demon, Molech.

“What is the Spirit of God saying to the churches? That we have to be pro-life from womb to tomb,” Driscoll says. “That we have to help those women who have made a tragic choice and now regret it to know the love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ and to know healing for themselves and hope for the eternal salvation of their child, whom God can call and save from the womb…”

9. God is cleaning house in the body of Christ.

Looking at the declining numbers of pastors who hold a biblical worldview, Driscoll says God is cleaning house in the church for only the true believers in Christ Jesus to remain.

“God’s people need to be given a biblical worldview. And it’s not just accept Jesus and you’ll go to heaven when you die; it’s how to grow in your relationship with God every step of the journey.”


10. Our children can be wise counselors.

Driscoll points to the story of how Barron Trump served to help his father understand and work with podcasters, which ended up being a key for Donald Trump in securing his re-election bid. Just as Trump listened to his son and saw valuable leadership skills in him, the church too is to raise children to be world-changing leaders.

“Ministry starts at home,” says Driscoll.

With 2025 just hours away, let’s press in and pray to see how God wants to use us in the next year for His kingdom purposes.
