A Look at Human Predictions
“If
what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place or
come true, that is a message the Lord has not spoken. That prophet has
spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him.”
—Deut.
18:22 NIV

words? Maybe that is because you have been listening to human, self-appointed
prophets.

feature the predictions of leading psychics and world figures. The front
page stories contain amazing forecasts of major disasters and key world
events, as well as medical and scientific breakthroughs. They also contain
a lot of speculative trivia about political, film, and TV celebrities.
“Counterfeit prophets,” someone has commented, “annually
fire prophetic buckshot into tomorrow’s clouds, hoping to bag an
occasional stray duck as it passes overhead.”
But they don't catch many
ducks. Look at this chart.
