Ends of times prophecy that I can't shake

[Redbeard The Pink]

Could we get a prophecy that isn't in some kind of weird code language? 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.

No, because receiving a legitimate divination of the future will inherently alter the outcome, negating the prophecy.

In truth the European Union pretty well follows the same Land span Rome held in europe.

So now, in one brief sentence you have demonstrated that you know fuckall about the Roman Empire, too.

Keep digging, dripshit.  Your stupidity knows no bounds.

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?

Pretty sure people that are 4000 years in the future would pretty much know enough about us just saying. 
Like we know and have records from back then during the time the bible was written. But end of times prophecies
are just bullshit.

I've asked you like 10 times are you like a high school kid, or is english a second language to you? I ask because your answer seems to miss the point I was making completely. I don't know if I should kick you in the teeth for being stupid or try and explain what the word prophesy means and how it is a prediction made in the past about the future, and not the other way around.

Give it enough time and many "prophecies" will come true. It's just a coincidence, I doubt the chances of things similiar to the "prophecies" happen are small at all given this much time. The hadiths many muslims follow also have these so called "prophecies" come true. It's just a matter of coincidence. And there are many other incoherent things in the holy books. If there is a tiny fault/contradiction in a holy book claimed to be God's words, it dismisses and renders the whole book wrong, since their described God cannot possibly be wrong.
