Stephen Henkin: *** What is the Significance of the Year 2020? ***


Presumably, the Year 2020 is meaningful to both Sanctuary Church and the Family Fed because it is the 100th birthday of TF. (I'm wondering, will FFWPU give membahs more than 6 weeks notice to donate $2,020.00 to help pay for the gala celebration at CP in 2020?)
But beyond the birthday aspect, FFWPU announced "Project 2020" (later renamed the catchier "Vision 2020") at its Foundation Day CP event back in 2013, thus giving an aura of theological significance to the year. SC, however, just had its version of Foundation Day this year, but did not attribute any "deeper meaning" to the Year 2020, itself.
So what is the significance of the Year 2020, other than it being, of course, TF's 100th birthday? Does the Year 2020 have any intrinsic theological meaning on its own, or is it, for lack of a better term, just kicking the appearance of the KOH a little bit further down the providential road, an artificial construct having nothing to do with any improvements in the real world when 2020 rolls around?
Please give your best guess on the matter. Hopefully, The Three UTS Theologians -- Andrew WilsonTyler Hendricks, and Mike Mickler -- will give their opinions. Just remember, your speculations are just as good as theirs. Maybe better, since you don't have to answer to anyone.
