Made many prophecies, sometimes centuries prior, which came true. Some are still pending fulfilment. If you're an atheist how would you account for this phenomenon? Doesn't it suggest the existence of a super-human intelligence which can give foreknowledge of the future? If you're religious, how would you account for this as he did not belong to any faith then but simply foretold? * +

the so called proficies are not specific enough to be judged accurate or not.. At best he was a man of great insight who was able to suggest general themes and tendencies within human nature and societys development.

if a proficey predicts the inevitable then it can't be frustrated, but if it not inevitable then there's nothin to predict. So no need to veil anythin unless it just playin the odds. Same can be said of most proficies that don't predict the unexpected in a short time frame. * +

From the enslaved people, songs, chants and demands,The princes and lords are held captive in prisons: In the future by such headless idiots These will be taken as divine utterances. (Century 1, Quatrain 14). French revolution aptly foretold! * +

it was accurate with hindsight.. It cud equally have predicted whe collapse of great church onto worshipers in 1566 or a childrens home fire in 1966.. Both of which didn't happen so it's us interpretation only that makes it accurate * +
