Consider the following proofs of this statement: 1. I Samuel 10:2-6 give a series of prophetic statements to Elijah of events that were to shortly happen in sequence which were perfectly fulfilled. The probabilty that this prophecy was not from an omniscient Creator is less than one in 21 factoral. This number as most know is 21 x 20 x 19 x 18 etc. on down to 1, which is a number that exceeds the number of stars estimated in the cosmos or even the late Carl Sagans statement of "billions of billions". 2. The prophecy of Zechariah which foretold of Jesus that he would be sold for thirty pieces of silver [ Zech: 11:12 ], and would enter into Jerusalem of an unridden foal of an ass [ Zech. 9:9 ], can there be any doubt about the few yet to be fullfilled . . . [Zech. 12:10; 14:4]. 3.Or for that matter those yet to be fulfilled in Matt 24 & 25, after Matt. reviews some 23 specific Old Testament prophicies fullfilled at Jesus's coming 2000 years ago.

Lots of things will happen as world history unfolds. It is not difficult to conform them to some ancient text or another.

But if it provides you with a sense of structure and stability to believe they were foretold, hey...enjoy!
