Think about it....God created time...therefore, He exists outside of time...
as such, He can see all aspects of time (and don't say CAN NOT, until a more thorough study of a singularity event is undertaken)....
Well...since He can see all apects of time, He can also show the prophet what He sees.
Remember...a prophet can't be a prophet if he fails even in one prophecy....the penalty wasn't "do not pass go, don't collect 200 bushels of grain", it was "death".
So...the test was the multiple prophecies...with out dropping the ball no less!

Amos 3:7 particularly our lord god does not something, except He nicely-knownshows His secret to His servants the prophets. God continues to be doing stuff. as a result, He could nevertheless be revealing His secret to the prophets. There are prophets by using the e book of Acts: Acts 13:a million Now in the church that replaced into at Antioch there have been specific prophets and instructors: Barnabas, Simeon who replaced into observed as Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen who have been reported with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. Acts 15:32 Now Judas and Silas, themselves being prophets ... Paul writes to the church in Corinth and Ephesus that God has appointed prophets in the church. a million Cor 12:28 And God has appointed those in the church: first apostles, 2d prophets, third instructors, after that miracles, then presents of healings, helps, administrations, styles of tongues. Eph 4:11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and a few pastors and instructors Scripture warns us many times to concentrate of fake prophets. There could be no could desire to try this if there have been no such factor as a real prophet. it could make as plenty experience to warn people against accepting a counterfeit seven greenback invoice. And final, yet not least, the two maximum misunderstood, mis-taught people in Scripture, the prophets in Rev. 11

I think you may be looking at this the wrong way. Prophets sent by God warn people that unless they straighten out God will get angry and punish them (thinking generally Old Testament here). So if I tell my son to stop jumping on the couch or I'll make him stand in the corner and he ends up in the corner I'm not seeing the future.
Now other prophets that tell the future could look at events and "predict "events based on what's happening around them. History repeats itself, so if someone is aware enough they can see the future.

Well, and I quote:
"[...]The 4th dimension is time...
If our world is a four dimensional object, then the future is already written and if we were able, we could jump ahead and find out what happens in the end[...]" And don't believe in these so called "prophets". They just lie.

Because the future does exist. The Bible says that God knows the beginning from the end. Another reason to believe in God.

In the Jewish - Christian tradition prophets were not seeing the future them-self but were relaying what "God " had imparted to them to pass on. It would be wrong for any Christian or Jew to limit the power of God by saying that that can't be done.

A prophet in these days is someone who proclaims the truth of God's Word (Jesus Christ), it is not someone who predicts the future. It is someone who looks at his current condition, in his current place in time, and sees the written prophecy fulfilled, proclaiming it to those who have ears to hear.
God does not see the future as we see it. When we attribute foreknowledge to God, we mean that all things have ever been, and perpetually remain, before His eyes, so that to His knowledge nothing is future or past, but all things are present: and present in such a manner that He does not merely conceive of them from ideas formed in His mind, as things remembered by us appear present to our minds, but really beholds and sees them as if actually placed before Him. And this foreknowledge extends to the whole world and to all the creatures. Predestination we call the eternal decree of God, by which He hath determined in Himself what He would have to become of every individual of mankind. For they are not all created with a similar destiny; but eternal life is foreordained for some, and eternal damnation for others.

time and space is the same thing
its all about the conscious mind
if you are old enough to remember the gramaphone needle
the point of consciousness is the same ... but the universe passes underneath the needle
