Frankly, I’m skeptical of his powers of prophesy.
First of all, his wife and children died of the Plague. Didn’t he see this coming?
And the rest of the “prophesy” was only apparent AFTER the event occurred. Yeah, he predicted a big fire in a major city…duh…when, where, why, how? Come on…
He is credited with predicting the rise of Hitler and Napoleon…really, you mean some guy would gain power and try to take over the world? His predictions are as useful as someone saying, “I told you so!”
He didn't predict anything really useful, like the invention of Bartles and Jaymes Wine Coolers or Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
They say he predicted his death. Do I need to spell this out for you?
