Are you ready for battle? Is Macbeth?

Before we finish reading Macbeth, I'd like you to use this blog to make a few predictions based on the patterns you have noticed in Acts 1-4.

Please make at least TWO predictions and explain what pattern has lead you to these predictions. In other words, make an argument for each prediction.

Here are a few topics you could consider:
