Can we PLEASE dispense with the “prophet” imagery.
This is not a biblical exercise.

Cursory dig:

McCaffrey’s last command in the Army was United States Southern Command (SOUTHCOM), the unified command responsible for U.S. military activities in Central America and South America. He commanded SOUTHCOM, whose headquarters were then in the Republic of Panama, from 1994 to 1996. Besides managing military personnel, as part of his duties in Panama, McCaffrey supported humanitarian operations for over 10,000 Cuban refugees as part of Operation Safe Haven from 8 September 1994 - 15 March 1995 at Empire Range, Panama.[36] It was also during his last military position that he created the first Human Rights Council and Human Rights Code of Conduct for U.S. Military Joint Command.

You can do whatever you want, as long as its within the FR guidelines. I won't stop you.

No. Whether literal or a metaphor, this is part of the reality many of us function with and in.

Mark Taylor, Kim Clement and several others over the last 20-30 years have declared prophetic assertions which were clearly about Trump by name or for whom Trump was the only individual to fit their assertions at all.

For us, it would be denial of a very important set of puzzle pieces; a very important part of literal reality; a very important part of the whole picture--such that it would handicap, diminish, distort & tarnish good reality testing.

Asking us to dialogue, analyze, perceive without such puzzle pieces would be akin to asking an individual:
--without dangly bits to quit acting like a testosterone ridden man;
--or a conservative to quit referring to The Constitution & limited government; or a woman to ignore her motherly affections & perspective;
--or a Christian the denial of Creation, the Virgin Birth, Death & Resurrection.

No thanks. Not in this lifetime.

Perhaps you could put a muzzle on your hyper-sensitivity to such aspects of life. Your sensibilities are NOT the definers, arbiters, policemen, judges, juries, executioners of our reality. We make allowances for your particulars, you can make allowances for ours--graciously, or not.

You ask us to lay aside a major aspect of our cosmology, our reality, our perceptions, your analytical skill-set. For what? For your hyper-sensitivity and aversion to a key aspect of our reality. Tough tacos.

Super-rationalism is NOT the only way to perceive, analyze and form hypotheses about reality. It can be demonstrated that it is not even the most reliable or most accurate predictor of the whole of, every aspect of reality. Yet, we do not demand that you leave it out of discussions and quit operating in your dialogues with it as your foundation.
