Knowing a genuine prophecy

The requirements of a genuine prediction are five in number.

1. It must have been made known PRIOR to its fulfilment.
2. It must be beyond all HUMAN FORESIGHT.
3. It must give DETAILS.
4. A SUFFICIENT TIME MUST ELAPSE BETWEEN ITS PUBLICATION AND
   FULFILMENT TO EXCLUDE THE PROPHET, OR ANY INTERESTED PARTY, FROM
   FULFILLING IT.
5. There must be a CLEAR AND DETAILED FULFILMENT OF THE PROPHECY IN
   EVERY PARTICULAR.
