Question
Hello! An answer to your question
" My question regards prophecy in literature. In most religious texts prophecies are vague. However, a friend was showing me in the bible prophecies that are cuttingly specific.
I was wondering how you explain the prophecies in the bible that were fulfilled? Are any of the documents actually old enough to verify them?

Thanx  

Answer
Hello Amir,

Sorry for the late reply. Actually I was away from my home.

The author/authors of Bible - or of any religious book for that matter - were highly evolved human beings, were at the cutting-edge of evolution in fact, of a particular cycle of a particular era. From such evolutionary heights it was not very difficult for them to discover a pattern in the events happneing in the world. They then applied their discovered pattern to the future and made successful prophecies.

Vague or cuttingly specific prophecies depend upon the ability of an author to apply the discovered patterns in less or more detail.

Hope it helps.
