If that’s what your understanding is of prophecy, best to just go with that.
1) Non trivial: not a common event
2) Specific: where will it happen, and involving who
3) Dated: the event will happen at a particular point
4) Prior: the prediction must be clearly stated before the event occurs
I think if it doesn't at a minimum meet these points, it is nothing but vague horoscope drivel which anyone can retrofit to just about anything.
* ‘in the beginning…’, ‘ heavens are being stretched out as a tent’, ‘have established the fixed laws governing heaven and earth.’
Atheist Credo: A universe by chance that also just happened to admit the observer by chance.
