Once again, I've been proved totally correct.

Every single "prophet" has been dead wrong.

My former neighbor and I used to do this every year.
She'd buy those "prediction" supermarket tabloids, and at the end of the year, we'd go through them.

The obvious "predictions" would get tossed.
"There will be trouble in the Middle East." No duh...

The vague ones too.
"A beloved celebrity will die under tragic circustances."

After those were tossed, you know how many "predictions" we found to be correct, over a 7-year period?

Zero.

Just like these "endtimes" prophets like Harold Camping, New Age prophets who fell off the flying saucer head first, etc.

Every one of them, EVERY one has been 100% wrong.

How many weather predictors would keep a job with that kind of record?
How many stock brokers?
