Let's discuss... "prophecies."

[HitchSlap]

.....I.....I.....g..g..guess...it's ...time for me to throw out all of my books on prophecy, along with those on interpretation. Oh, boo hoo, boo hoo, boo hoo! These atheists are just too smart and too well informed.

Stings a bit, doesn't it.

Why would you need those books?

He he he...

Why would you need those books?

Because the Holy Spirit doesn't just alight on my head like He's been claimed to do for other people. Maybe it's because I'm not in the "Left Behind" camp .....................

If I were an advocate of Dispensationalism and a fan of Hal Lindsey type Eschatology, the OP video probably would sting like a B.

The pro OP doesn't stipulate that the prophecies must be Bible-related. So here are 3 prophecies at different confidence levels:

1) High:
Within the next 25 yrs, a majority of the US population will be covered by some type of single-payer health insurance.

2) Medium:
Within the next 50 years, evidence of unicellular or paucicellular life-forms will be found on another planet or satellite in our solar system.

3) Low:
Donald Trump will be re-elected President in 2020.

Failed prophecies...... can perhaps actually be the most successful prophecies in the sense that they may have altered the behaviour of humans so that the disaster was delayed and delayed and delayed and delayed......

Or otherwise put: "heads I win, tails you lose...."

Exactly!!!!!

1Ki 8:47

Yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they were carried captives, and repent, and make supplication unto thee in the land of them that carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have committed wickedness;

And so return unto thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, which led them away captive, and pray unto thee toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, the city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name:

Then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling place, and maintain their cause,

And forgive thy people that have sinned against thee, and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against thee, and give them compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them:

For they be thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron:

That thine eyes may be open unto the supplication of thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto thee.

For thou didst separate them from among all the people of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spakest by the hand of Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord GOD.

3) Low:
Donald Trump will be re-elected President in 2020.

I think your seriously underestimating Trumps chances. From voter suppression to the advantage of already being the sitting President. Trump is very good at selling a fake narrative.

DJT winning re-election isn’t impossible. My prediction doesn’t rule it out. The biggest unknown factor is who will be his opponent. But in the current political climate, he is facing a significant uphill climb to get 270 EVs. I don’t see a realistic chance of him flipping any of the deep blue states that Hillary won. That’s 238 EVs. In two midwestern states that he won, MI and WI, the voters just replaced Republican governors with Democrats. A Democrat defeated a Republican incumbent in a traditionally red PA House district. If a Democratic candidate in 2020 can hold the states Hillary won, and just flip MI, WI, and PA, that’s 282 EVs. Which is a win.
