Everything that has been, continues to be (that is naturally speaking).

The sun will continue to rise east and set in the west, and the cycle of water would continue to start in the clouds, then to rain and ultimately end back in the clouds. The same thing happens with the new year. In the same way the day changed from yesterday into today, it will change from the 31st of December to the 1st of January. 

Rain would continue to fall until Elijah halts it, and the water would continue to fill the landscape of the sea until Moses splits it. Water would continue to be liquid until Jesus renders it solid enough to walk on Nature would occur as it always has until believers do something about it. Thus, the new year would only be new when you intervene and do something new.

The destiny of the man in Christ is not subject to the natural occurrences of the world. Unlike the rest of the world we are not bound by nature, the very foundation of our faith defies nature itself. Nature can not explain how a virgin would bare a son, nature can not explain how this same son would die, be buried for 3 full days and in a matter of moments would rise from the dead as if never died at all never to die again.
