Yes, Ohio. This is exactly purpose of prophesies. Main sign of ruling God. He knows what was, what is and what is going to happen.
We can read about prophecies but only watching and praying we can cerrespond with God's plan.
But to fulfill God's plan, He also needs people who hear Him.
We had prophecies about Jesus. But there was people like Herod serving Satan and others to whom Lord could speak and fulfill plan through them.
I would summarize it this way:
We have to read and search as it states in verses from Revelation I mentioned before. But revelation comes from God.
Rev 1.1
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show unto his servants, [even] the things which must shortly come to pass: and he sent and signified [it] by his angel unto his servant John;
Rev 1:3
Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things that are written therein: for the time is at hand.
For me this thoughts exchange was not and argue but blessed time. It turned me to Revelation again.
Probably I would read it any way for many around speak about this book, but it was additional stimulus.
So far Thanks to all for their points of view and research.
If that caused our heart more awaken,then that was exactly what John was writing about- blessing.
