I'm betting that when the time comes it will be easy enough to imagine some other force that changed the prophecy and the numerologists will get cracking, hallucinating more fanciful meanings from other random numbers. They will weave and write and spin the most interesting sounding ideas about nothing. I had a friend who was into this prophet and he gave me a pamphlet of doom and gloom but every prophecy was vague and followed by a clause that if only enough believers would pray then the doom would be averted. HOW CONVENIENT! I should start doing that for every airline flight. Flight 666 is going down in flames unless enough believers pray for their safe landing. Then, no matter what the outcome, I can say see see they crashed, or I could applaud all the believers for the air they passed through their lungs in fervent noise-making to avert this tragedy!
I hate prophecy, and prophets!
Deuteronomy 18:20 ESV
But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.’
REPENT oh ye weaver of falsehoods!
