To base one’s understanding of geo-politics on biblical prophecy is madness. Same with economics. It’s not much different than seeking answers from QAnon, or the “Orange Oracle.”
There used to be alleged prophets of a new religion: “Scientific Socialism,” that claimed to have insight into the future. That was just another “God that Failed.”
Of course there are occasional scientific and industrial “visionaries” in their own fields, “futurists” and even perceptive statesmen. But wars, economic changes, technological and cultural changes are never easy to call and the best and most responsible leaders can only be right occasionally.
Character becomes important when events cannot be predicted with any certainty. But most people here are just too immature and ignorant, too wrapped up with their own troubles and fantasies, too irresponsible to make useful contributions, let alone “prophecies.”
Oh, last but not least: depressed people make depressing “prophets.” If you’re old and miserable, or sick to your stomach, keep your predictions to yourself. You own world may be ending. But the world doesn’t care about you or your prophesies.
I tend to agree with the old Bob Dylan song: “Don’t follow leaders. Watch your parking meters.”
