Prophesy is a prediction of what will happen in the future. Are prophesies always true? Do you believe in them?
I do believe in prophesy, but i see it more as informed predictions. Science uses Predictions as a means of verifying its tenets. As an example, the law of gravity allows the prediction of the time it take for a mass to fall a certain distance. By demonstrating this prediction Science certifies the accuracy of its theory on gravity. Predictions in the Bible are verifying that the Bible writers had Sociological Theorues that premitted these predictions.
Most real prophecies have only a probability of being true depending on what is being prophesied and the likelihood it will occur. I could prophesy that the sun will come up tomorrow and the probability of this being true is very close to 1. However, prophecies based on religious beliefs are most likely not true unless the outcome is obvious or the person making the prophecy takes action to make it come true. We should not count prophecies that were made after the fact which is done a lot in the Bible or are just stories not based on facts.
