This scripture should sum it up!! And if you read carefully, you will notice that it is already happening. We are in the last days!! God Bless You!!

Mat 24:3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, his disciples came to him privately and said, "Tell us, when will this happen? What will be the sign that you are coming again, and when will the world come to an end?"
Mat 24:4 Jesus answered them, "Be careful not to let anyone deceive you.
Mat 24:5 Many will come using my name. They will say, 'I am the Messiah,' and they will deceive many people.
Mat 24:6 "You will hear of wars and rumors of wars. Don't be alarmed! These things must happen, but they don't mean that the end has come.
Mat 24:7 Nation will fight against nation and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places.
Mat 24:8 All of these are only the beginning pains of the end.
Mat 24:9 "Then they will hand you over to those who will torture and kill you. All nations will hate you because you are committed to me.
Mat 24:10 Then many will lose faith. They will betray and hate each other.
Mat 24:11 Many false prophets will appear and deceive many people.
Mat 24:12 And because there will be more and more lawlessness, most people's love will grow cold.
Mat 24:13 But the person who endures to the end will be saved.
Mat 24:14 "This Good News about the kingdom will be spread throughout the world as a testimony to all nations. Then the end will come.
Mat 24:15 "The prophet Daniel said that the disgusting thing that will cause destruction will stand in the holy place. When you see this (let the reader take note),
Mat 24:16 those of you in Judea should flee to the mountains.
Mat 24:17 Those who are on the roof should not come down to get anything out of their houses.
Mat 24:18 Those who are in the field should not turn back to get their coats.
Mat 24:19 "How horrible it will be for the women who are pregnant or who are nursing babies in those days.
Mat 24:20 Pray that it will not be winter or a day of worship when you flee.
Mat 24:21 There will be a lot of misery at that time, a kind of misery that has not happened from the beginning of the world until now and will certainly never happen again.
Mat 24:22 If God does not reduce the number of those days, no one will be saved. But those days will be reduced because of those whom God has chosen.
Mat 24:23 "At that time don't believe anyone who tells you, 'Here is the Messiah!' or 'There he is!'
Mat 24:24 False messiahs and false prophets will appear. They will work spectacular, miraculous signs and do wonderful things to deceive, if possible, even those whom God has chosen.
Mat 24:25 Listen! I've told you this before it happens.
Mat 24:26 So if someone tells you, 'He's in the desert!' don't go out looking for him. And don't believe anyone who says, 'He's in a secret place!'
Mat 24:27 The Son of Man will come again just as lightning flashes from east to west.
Mat 24:28 Vultures will gather wherever there is a dead body.
Mat 24:29 "Immediately after the misery of those days, the sun will turn dark, the moon will not give light, the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the universe will be shaken.
Mat 24:30 "Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. All the people on earth will cry in agony when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds in the sky with power and great glory.
Mat 24:31 He will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and from every direction under the sky, they will gather those whom God has chosen.
Mat 24:32 "Learn from the story of the fig tree. When its branch becomes tender and it sprouts leaves, you know that summer is near.
Mat 24:33 In the same way, when you see all these things, you know that he is near, at the door.
Mat 24:34 "I can guarantee this truth: This generation will not disappear until all these things take place.
Mat 24:35 The earth and the heavens will disappear, but my words will never disappear.
Mat 24:36 "No one knows when that day or hour will come. Even the angels in heaven and the Son don't know. Only the Father knows.
Mat 24:37 "When the Son of Man comes again, it will be exactly like the days of Noah.
Mat 24:38 In the days before the flood, people were eating, drinking, and getting married until the day that Noah went into the ship.
Mat 24:39 They were not aware of what was happening until the flood came and swept all of them away. That is how it will be when the Son of Man comes again.
Mat 24:40 "At that time two men will be working in the field. One will be taken, and the other one will be left.
Mat 24:41 Two women will be working at a mill. One will be taken, and the other one will be left.
Mat 24:42 "Therefore, be alert, because you don't know on what day your Lord will return.
Mat 24:43 You realize that if a homeowner had known at what time of the night a thief was coming, he would have stayed awake. He would not have let the thief break into his house.
Mat 24:44 Therefore, you, too, must be ready because the Son of Man will return when you least expect him.
Mat 24:45 "Who, then, is the faithful and wise servant? The master will put that person in charge of giving the other servants their food at the right time.
Mat 24:46 That servant will be blessed if his master finds him doing this job when he comes.
Mat 24:47 I can guarantee this truth: He will put that servant in charge of all his property.
Mat 24:48 On the other hand, that servant, if he is wicked, may think that it will be a long time before his master comes.
Mat 24:49 The servant may begin to beat the other servants and eat and drink with the drunks.
Mat 24:50 His master will return unexpectedly.
Mat 24:51 Then his master will severely punish him and assign him a place with the hypocrites. People will cry and be in extreme pain there.

Fortune-telling is the belief that some people possess the ability of telling
other people what will happen to them in the future by using magical or mystical
methods. These rulings also apply to people who claim knowledge of the unseen,
such as geomancers, palmists, shell-diviners, etc.


A fortune-teller uses devils who eavesdrop in the Heavens; Allah says in the
Qur'an: 'Shall I inform you (O people!) Upon whom the devils) descend' They
descend on every lying, sinful person. Who lends an ear (to the devils and they
pour what they may have heard of the Unseen from the angels), and most of them
are liars.' (26:221-223)


This knowledge of what the angels may have said is then passed to the people who
are often prepared to believe what the fortune-teller says. The problem is that
what people believe is true, has been embellished or changed, omitting the
truth.


Ruling:

Fortune-telling is considered 'Shirk Akbar' (the major and serious form of
polytheism) for two reasons. First, it implies the acquisition of knowledge of
the Unseen, which is unique to Allah, (alone). 'Say: 'None in the Heaven and the
Earth knows the Ghaib (unseen) except Allah, nor can they perceive when they
shall be resurrected.' (Qur?an 27: 65).


This means that any one who believes that he possesses such knowledge is
certainly claiming the acquisition of a Divine attribute that Allah (alone)
possesses. Second, it involves using devils and holding fast to them, a ritual
that can only be perfected when the performer is in complete submission to that
damned species. This is a form of polytheism.

I totally agree that only God can only see the future. But for me in this Islam issue that they could see the future it doesn't come from God maybe it came form a Demon or the Devil. God wouldn't give predictions on the future to everyone, except if it's a prophet,but it wouldn't happened because prophets don't exists in our time nowadays.

No.
(Amos 3:7) For the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will not do a thing unless he has revealed his confidential matter to his servants the prophets.

The only thing he has not revealed is the date of Armageddon.

(Matthew 24:36) “Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father.

Actually god can not predict anything. Because everything is his will. If i drop a weight to the floor I do not have to predict it's fall I know this for a fact. Just like god.

Your god doesn't exist. But I can predict the future with very good accuracy. Just not all the time and only with people that are close to me. I always know when a family member is about to die. ALWAYS.

Here's the help that you need:

God is an imaginary concept.
It only exists in the minds of the weak.

Surely that is not too difficult to understand?
