I want to throw caution to the arguments about prophecy and line of belief by drawing attention to this caution direct from Jesus:
At the end of the day, don't miss the forest for the trees unless it's the tree of life! I love many of you deeply as brothers and sisters in the Lord, but I urge a close assessment of what Scripture says. Pray on it, study it (do your part), and let God speak. To some I think you really need to be careful about assuming only an easy path, as we look to any prophet (and, most notably, our Savior) to know that trials and tribulations will come. To the other side, look very closely at how you handle things. When you read and cite from a scholar who holds this different belief from you, yet he was very clearly and inspired man, well let that sink in. He lead as many and far more to the line of thinking than probably anyone here, but look what he did otherwise.
The accuser sits in front of God, leave that part to him because you don't want any part of it.
John 5:39
You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me,
