observanteen: you should be very careful about believing detailed predictions about the future that come from anywhere but navi itself. Often people execute what is called the Texas sharpshooter fallacy which is the technical term for the famous mashol of the Dubno magid about the archer who paints the targets around his arrows. People take suitably vague sayings — a particular favorite is Nostradamus, or in frum circles the “bible codes” — and when something happens they drey it around to “prove” that this was all predicted a long time ago. They often also try to prove by the same methods that you should give them money.
