Dude if your going to Poe around at least put a little effort into it. You not even grasping at low hanging fruit here.. it's more like you've stepped in poo and are content tracking it around your house.
If it's not prophetic then why does Jesus say, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock?" Revelation is clear in that he wants to come inside you, i.e. spiritually rape you. I'm sorry if you don't get this, it's not your fault it's just that you need to discern these things spiritually.
I guess you are trying to pair Jesus "knocking" with verse 26???
26 Then came the woman in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man's house where her lord was, till it was light.
27 And her lord rose up in the morning, and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way: and, behold, the woman his concubine was fallen down at the door of the house, and her hands were upon the threshold.
Again, the Jews (as well as proper apologists) subdivide the books of the OT into three main subjects.
The Hebrew Bible is organized into three main sections: the Torah, or “Teaching,” also called the Pentateuch or the “Five Books of Moses”; the Neviʾim, or Prophets; and the Ketuvim, or Writings. It is often referred to as the Tanakh, a word combining the first letter from the names of each of the three main divisions.

Judges is considered to be a book of 'writings' or more specifically a historical accounting of the time between moses and Christ.
So when 26 and 27 says the concubine fell/died at the door of her Master, it literally means a woman died on the door step of her owner after being raped to death by all those other men.
There was a literal rape that lasted all night, a literal concubine, a literal door and a literal death with a literal division of her body sent to 12 different places.
Again no prophecy found in a book of writings. Just the facts sir just the facts...
Now was Jesus trying to borrow from this story to illustrate a larger point? perhaps, the arguement could indeed be made, but again that does not make the story prophetic as that word is defined by the Jews of the time of judges nor in Christ's time.
