Now, if I predicted no one would persecute me, and no one did, that would be an impressive prediction.

Not nearly as daring as "There will be wars and rumors of wars."

Both seem like self fulfilling prophecies. We can all choose to be a victim or not. Your actions and dialogue will undoubtedly influence whether or not you`re persecuted.
Plus any prophecy that is 50/50, heads or tails, black/white - is hardly impressive. Especially when you have the power in your hands to make the so called 50/50 chance tip one way or the other based on your actions and dialogue. Not impressive to say the least.

hmmm, not too impressive b/c if you were to start a new religion based on love you've no reason to be persecuted UNLESS your philosophical foundation would not benefit humankind or "blasphemes" others...not all reformations in history were persecuted, not in the Martin Luther sense

No, you wouldn't be going out on a limb. Read "Stranger in a Strange Land".

It's going out about as far on a limb as 'Someone will kick the crap out of Jerusalem again'.

Well, Jesus predicted it as well as prophets centuries before he was born. I believe you are hinting at that.
