"Ipso Facto" that is a Case of "Post Hoc Ergo Procter Hoc"

No, it doesn't CAUSE the event; a vision of an event, is profitable in that the will of God be done. If you have a vision of someone being harmed, and you see the event unfolding just as you saw; then isn't it profitable, knowing that your vision has been fufilled up to that certain point; that it has the likelyhood of being fufilled all the way?Then you can intervene. A prophesy is only true, if it happens. Once it happens, it is no longer of any use. Don't you think that this is God intervening??

isn't that more philiosophy than spirituality? No it wouldn't 'cause' the event because an event can't be caused by someone knowing it will happen. I know that when I drop something heavy it will fall to the floor, it is my dropping it that CAUSES it to fall, not the fact that I predicted it.

For one thing, how is one to be certain that the "future they see" is permanant. Anyone can change the course of the future. The only thing that noone can control by any means is the events of the past.

Good question.
In God's case, His predictions (prophecies) are not so much KNOWING what the future will bring, but stating what He will cause to happen in the future.

Bit frustrating to know the future and not being able to change it
