@kjw47,
"Prophecies have come true=proven fact."
Actually prophecies have come true —
after the fact. The text of a "prophetic prediction" is either a rewrite, edited to conform to fact, or a fairy tale which appropriates the facts through the device of the realistic narrative. Like the description of the anguished Jesus in the garden at Gethsemane – it's a
story full of literary tropes which were hackneyed stereotypes even back then!
