I think we need to be extremely careful with "prophecy" and predictions. I read a book by a woman who claimed California would sink into the ocean in 1995, according to what the Theotokos told her in a supposed vision (of course, this author also claimed Mary and Joseph were reincarnated as nuns in the Middle Ages!). I've read Bud Macfarlane's books, too. I found them very exciting reading, yet kind of scary. End of time hysteria is Protestant mumbo-jumbo. Catholics and Orthodox should be more intelligent than that.
