Modern "prophets" are largely seen as scam artists. I imagine some people here (or perhaps one with multiple accounts) will automatically disapprove of this being taken seriously.
These prophets can throw out a ton of predictions and then claim expertly magical foresight when something hits, sort of like what Beanie man occasionally does.

Yeah, but the scam is usually to be pretty vague. 'There will be a failed assassination on Trump, he will be hit in the ear by a bullet, he will fall down' is a pretty risky bet, if you're just bullshitting.
Again, not even saying it's real, just that it's interesting.
The internet is those thousand monkeys all on typewriters, just scaled up several magnitudes so enough shit gets said that something eventually ends up being a prediction of something else. Topical matters like a controversial presidential candidate in an election year are bound to produce a shit ton of these kind of "prophecies" that too many will jump on as some kind of revelation despite it being a drop in an ocean of bullshit.
Why the downvotes?
This was +5, then a bunch of downvotes hit.
