Remember Herodotus? He told the story of how Croesus, king of Lydia (one of the richest and most powerful kingdoms of its time) asked a question of the Delphic Oracle.
Croesus asked whether he should attack Persia. The Oracle answered that if he attacked, he would destroy a great empire.
This came true, although the empire that got destroyed was Lydia.
It looks as though history may repeat itself.
