Maybe the entire prophecy of Revelations will be fulfilled by Kooka's next blog.

Is this a debate?
The problem in a debate is that both parties involved take extreme sides. Prophecy is not exactly about the future; nor is it "prophecy after the fact". Prophecy regards the coming-to-be of a blessing or a curse as stipulated in a divine covenant. Prophecy therefore is not something that one who reads a crystal ball says. Nor is it something that has happened but which still needs to be proclaimed. Prophecy is the interpretation of a present event in the light of God's word or -- to say it from a different perspective -- it is the proclamation of God's word as it makes itself present as blessing or curse as a result of a given human event.
