I believe you hit the target.... I don't see prophecies as writing the future. I see prophecies as warnings. This way every prophecy will be an opportunity to change the way things are going to happen.
But I like to mix different theories to see things in different ways. I would like to propose a crazy theory that I will try explain. It is based in some concepts of physics.
It is clear for everyone that in this moment we have freewill to choose what we are going to do. But we can’t change our past anymore. Right? Tomorrow this moment of today will be past so the choices I did today using my freewill will be for ever and I will have no way to change those choices. Right?
What if time is not a continuous flow? What if time is a block that exists at once (past, present and future) and we are just traveling in this block just seeing the choices we have already done in some moment? Like a record movie that we have the right to watch just once?
I mean that in one moment we had the freewill to make our choices but someone has the power to go the future and see the choices we will make and just tell us in advance (as a prophecy). The point here (the hardest thing to understand) is our concept about the time. We see the time as something that is being created now. My point is that the time was already created and everything with all choices had already happened.
NOTE: Just for the records, I don't believe in modern prophecies... My ansewer was more about the concept, the theory.
