If a "prophecy" has to be interpreted because all its events and  elements are symbols for other things, then it seems to me that almost any event could be reverse-engineered to fit the vague ramblings of one ancient text or another.

lol... So if you were fast forwarded in time 4000 years and brought back you'd be able accurately describe the events going on, in a foreign language using words that have not even been coined in the time you wrote them down? Or would you struggle to describe what you saw by taking things familiar to you and added to them to paint an accurate picture in your own language?

Now to someone 4000 years in the future who does not know your language nor customs or even some of the things you described, would then your words not themselves have to be interpreted?


Regardless of how you justify what you're doing, it doesn't change the fact that you're doing it. If a prophecy can be interpreted multiple different ways in different time frames by different readers, then it's basically useless. To be demonstrably correct or incorrect, a prophecy must refer to a specific event (at minimum). Otherwise you're just doing retro-active guesswork, which is basically meaningless. I could do the same sort of force-fitting to make it look like Mother Goose prophesied the JFK assassination, if I really wanted to get creative. This is the same kind of garbage Muslims bring me when they try to say that the Koran references the Big Bang.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
