RE: Ends of times prophecy that I can't shake

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.
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)

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

Quote: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.

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 love it when stupid people make stupid claims, that a third source can quickly settle.

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.

The EU contains no African or Middle Eastern countries (including Turkey), Egypt is not a member . . . In fact, the very link you posted lists 48 countries. The EU has 28 countries. What's the matter Dripshit? Can't count either?
