---------------------------------
Ah, a common error appears here.  When talking about the bible, a prophet is one who speaks with the voice of God.  Predictions come from an *oracle*.  A prophet can be an oracle, but an oracle isn't necessarily a prophet.  While there seem to be predictions in the prophetic literature, a close read will show that these are almost all in the form of if-then statements.

Peace be with you!
