Can Anyone See the Future?

Question

We all think about the future. We wonder what life will be like for ourselves and our loved ones. We ask such questions as these: ‘Will my children live in a better world? Will the earth be destroyed in a disaster? Is there something I can change now to make my future better?’ This curiosity is part of who we are; we naturally yearn for reassurance, certainty, order, and stability. If you could be more certain about the future, you could prepare for it, both physically and emotionally.

So, what is in your future? Can anyone know? Professionals who try to predict the future have met with some successes but also many failures. Yet, it is said that God can accurately foretell upcoming events. His Word says: “From the beginning I foretell the outcome, and from long ago the things that have not yet been done.” (Isaiah 46:10) How successful has he been?

Can anyone accurately know or predict the future?   The answer is complex and is based on a basic law of our universe.

Every action produces something.  Or stated another way.  Actions have consequences.

So here is your answer.  If enough information about the universe is known then by extrapolation future events can be determined.  To accurately determine the future would mean the predictor would have to able to accurately see all events in the universe in real time.

Humans operate only in the past.  Everything we see is a past event.  Light has a finite speed.  Sound has a finite speed.  Gravity produces waves.  Therefore it is assumed gravity has a finite velocity.

The creator, on the other hand, to be able to accurately foretell the future would of necessity be able to bypass all currently known avenues of communication and see all events in real time.  Everyone of these events has some affect on all the universe, great or small.  Because of limitations that effect may well be a long time in revealing itself, but nonetheless the effect is real.

Here is a Bible verse covering this very point.

"24 Even before they call out, I will answer;"   (Isaiah 65:24a)

To make this true, does God extrapolate on past events or future ones being founded in the past?  You will have to decide that answer.

So your question is answered to the best of our knowledge.  More?

I see the future.  I see the ancient times. I see in 2018 that the earth will be different in many ways. Right now because of the polar caps melting, mainly the south pole. As it melts away, the ocean is goig to rise. As the oceans rise rivers will get wider. As the rivers widen, the inlands are going to flood and all the cool coastal lands are going to be under water. Much larger hurricanes will appear and the will go further in lands. Our North and South poles are going to shift, well the tectonic plates will shift after 2020. When this occures the earth will look totally different than today. We are having more wars and death is at a higher rate. Earthquakes will destroy much of our creations and the animals are shifting where they migrate to. You are finding animals in areas where they're normally not supposed to be.  Those who live through this phenomena will surely be the ones to begin the new life. We are currently connecting to other beings from our own Galactic Federation.

Prophecies in the Bible accurately foretell the future.
The Bible foretold how Babylon would be destroyed Many years later the prophecy happened just as it was foretold. Details were given to show just how the city would be conquered. Invading armies would dry up Babylon’s river and march into the city without a battle. That is not all. Isaiah’s prophecy even named the king who would conquer Babylon—Cyrus.—Isaiah 44:27–45:2.
