I consider myself a dooms day professor.
Here I will give you an example of what I saw and when. And why I was against George's War in Iraq from the lead-up to war, for instance.
Listening to the reports of what Saddam Hussein said in the news. Over here it was meant to incite a reaction. But to me there was only one thing he had said that was curiously different than the things Qaddafi had been saying 20 years before. And that was that he promised to pay the families of martyrs $25,000.00. Now this was an incentive to people who would take him up on that offer.
Qaddafi, 20 years before was accused of the very same things, short of amassing WMD's. That "shock and awe" required a couple Harpoon missiles. It was very unfortunate that his family paid the price of that diplomacy.
Anti-American sentiment is not a new thing, never has been. That comes from the tolerance levels and intellectual capability of the individual, along with the information handed him/her. The very same goes here. Americans are not exempt from Anti-whomever sentiment.
Anyways to get back to what I was saying. There was not one image of UN weapons inspectors in Iraq wearing proper protection against the suspected substances that were claimed that Iraq was to have, that I saw. Sure I saw images of weapons inspectors wearing latex gloves and dust masks. But they were not enough protection against weapons grade anything, even at trace amounts.
This knowledge comes from training for survival in those types of hostile environments, while in our military.
Now ask yourself, if you had this type of training and information, on top of the comprehension of the terminology used, does this allude to a predetermined outcome? Or the ability to foretell the future? Most people balance the claim against the facts that they know.
Even a Greek mythological creature, the Hydra, can be used as a predetermining outcome. A champion can cut off one of the Hydra's heads. Two more heads will grow from the wound. Do you see what deposing Saddam Hussein has done to Iraq? Now the champion has many heads with beady eyes and sharp dangerous teeth looking back at him. The champion will eventually tire and fall.

Prophets don't necessarily fortel the future. Prophets lead movements, speak on behalf of the Lord and help church members understand the desires of the Lord. read the dictionary definition below. I hope this clarifies your understanding.

I myself can't tell the future. But what I do know about your future is that if you believe what other people who "claim to be psychic" tell you. You will get nowhere you have to create your own future. :)
