Principle: fulfilled prophecy is easier to interpret than unfulfilled prophecy; future prophecy is inherently difficult

End of the World Predictions and Why They're Wrong 00:10:46 – 00:11:47

Fulfilled prophecy has 'bookends' — the prophecy and its recorded fulfillment — making interpretation more tractable. Unfulfilled prophecy has no such anchor and is far more speculative. This difficulty is a reason predictors can freely abuse Scripture without easy refutation.
