So there is no prophecy in the Bible then? You see if the future is knowable, even if only knowable by a omniscient being then free will is non existant and all you have is a illusion of free will. In fact I think the Bible support this interpretation because god consistently asks for questioning and punishes people that think for themselves, like the story of uzziah or eve.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
