Religious Prophecy (Religion)

I grew up studying the bible, and was always intensely curious about the book of revelations, and some of the earlier prophecies. Recently, I have noticed a startling trend towards fullfilling some of them. (I promise I am not insane... welll.... ok.. maybe just a little.) After discussing it with people from other faiths, I have found that they have noticed the same from their own relgious texts. I would be interested to know your take on things. (NOTE: I am only referring to religious TEXTS, not doctrine and dogma, which is often completely FUBAR'd-Religions tend to use the frightening approach, and not treat people as adults.
Karen Armstrong, was a Catholic nun, until she found her religion was so frightening she dropped out of Catholicism and now writes interesting books on human relationships with religion. Years ago she said she preferred Jewish or Muslim services. I don't know if that is still the case. I don't believe the sacred texts can do phophesy.
