I agree that most, but perhaps not all. Most of us are capable of "reading the handwriting on the wall" and I believe that was true in Biblical times as well. But yes, the Bible is not a day-to-day journal. Stories are generally told after the fact, and that includes Biblical stories.accurate prophecy was written after the fact.
In one story Jesus is quoted as saying the Temple would be demolished. The story was written after the fact. Did the author make this a prediction of Jesus, or did people recall Jesus actually said this? My opinion is that if Jesus did say this, it was not a supernatural revelation, but rather reading the handwriting on the wall--i.e.the unrest between Rome and the Jewish people.
I agree.. They were headed for disaster and Jesus would not have been alone in "seeing" that.
