A prophet need not specify dates in mellinnial prophecy to be specific
Yeah, but if he can
literally see the future why not? Why not pick up a newspaper during the vision?
Buz, you make
way too many excuses for your "prophets." You're truly ridiculous. If they're really clairvoyant, they should be able to do these things. Seeing the future would be a truly extraordinary activity so it makes no sense at all not to make extraordinary demands of those who claim to be doing it.
It doesn't count as "seeing the future" if you make such general and nonspecific predictions that they can't help but be eventually interpreted as "true."
Something will always happen. Always.
The shell game you play is that you take some incredibly non-specific or fanciful portion of the "prophecy" - I think last time it was the notion that "God would speak from the sky" or some such - interpreted it in the light of some contemporary coincidence, like the Bible channel coming in over satellite, and then asserting that the passage
can only mean that, despite the fact that it could clearly mean anything at all.
Prophecy is a mug's game. That's been known since the ancient Greeks. Somehow, two millennia later you
still haven't gotten it.
