My daughter and I were talking this morning and I tried to explain to her how God may have a special plan for her in His kingdom, and she said "but mommy I want to be a vet." Hopefully there won't be any sickness so that's kind of out of the question now. Any ideas how I could answer that one?

Ashley - Well you are right, we will wait until April and see what happens then! But i personally hope what he says comes true! I am typically fed up with this world we live in. I have a strong feeling that things are not meant to be this way. What kind of a world we live in where all we do is listen to bad news on TV all the time, killing people mocking etc and looking down on you. This world has been ruined and the sooner God destroys it the better, i hope the new Kingdom comes soon.

Remember the tribulation has not begun...
He doesn't claim he will be slain and lay in the streets in a few months, he states this will happen at exactly the end of the 3 1/2 year period.
He says the two witnesses would then lay in the street with the whole world watching for exactly 3 days...

1) where in the bible does it say God's two final witnesses are going to be given the most power among all of God's prophets? Which book and which scriptures?
2) If RW can accurately predict things before they happen, then he is what we psychic. The bible says psychic, astrology, and the likes are the works of the devil. Why are they works of devil (suppose they predict the right things)?
3) like I said some psychics can predict things up to 85 - 90% correct, how would that differentiate RW from the rest of the psychics? Why is he God-sent and not the others?

It doesn't. Although they will be given great power by God, it never mentions them being the most powerful of the prophets. Their main description is in Revelation 11. The entire chapter describes them.
2)
There is a difference between a prophet of God and a psychic. Psychic powers are believed by Christians to be a Satanic counterfeit.
According to the Bible, the test of a prophet is a rigid one: 100% accuracy. If they get 99 things right and miss out on 1 then they are a false prophet. Miss the mark just one time and we are told they are not of God.

So his disciples, can you please point out to me where in the bible can I find a reference to this claim of RW? It's important as he shows himself as boastful and shouldn't we expect a God-sent servant to be perfect and not comit such a big sin of pride?
Thanks so much for pointing this out...but I'd also like to be fair to the other side, so can you show me where in the bible can I find the bible saying these (100% accuracy or not prophet). And what is 100% accuracy? Time + place + event + people+ chronology or just event alone?
