Question is “Does it help to know the future? Is it even possible? Many believe it is. But, does God still have a few tricks up His sleeve?”
Answer: The Noor that once descended in Krishna and so many others also descended in Ali. Ali has prophesied a lot about future happenings. Once he told his disciple Ammar that he would be killed under the same palm tree that he nurtured. He also said that p...rior to his killing, Ammar's tongue would be cut off. Ammar began watering the tree with even greater intensity because he knew that if Ali had said so, it was bound to happen. About 20 years after Ali's death, Ammar was summoned in the court of Ibn-e-Ziyad. When Ammar praised Ali in front of Ibn-e-Ziyad, he ordered that Ammar be taken and killed but prior to that his tongue should be taken out. Ammar laughed. Ibn-e-Ziyad asked what was the cause of his smile. Ammar replied that Ali had prophesied that he would be killed in exactly the same way. Ibn-e-Ziyad said that he would see to it that Ammar is not killed in the way Ali had prophesied. He asked Ammar to be taken to the prison from where very few came out alive. But it so happened that Ammar began preaching other inmates of the prison who revolted. Ammar was brought in front of ibn-e-Ziyad, who in a fit of rage, ordered that Ammar's tongue be taken out and he be killed.
This is just one incident that I have mentioned; though I can give countless more. The incident of a particular people may also be cited who had mastered astronomy greatly. They had dug a pond wherein they saw the reflections of stars and had calculated their ages. Each one of them knew how long would they live. They also committed all the sins and crimes. A Prophet of God went to them and told them to abstain from live of sin and crime. They said they know everything about their future. The Prophet told them to go to the pond again and see their future once more. They went and saw. They saw that death loomed at them. Before they could do anything, they were all dead. This story tells something very important. The heavenly bodies too are working under divine command and so are made the lines on our hands. The Prophet could have easily said that all your calculations are false and untrue. But he asked those people to go to the pond again. They went and saw for themselves that death was right at their faces. This shows that the science do exist and there are people who do read the future. But the Divine Will may change what has not been changed till now. For instance, my fate may change because of even the prayer for me by my mother. Or a good deed that I committed. It does not mean that God did not know of this before. He knew everything right from beginning but He himself has put everything under 'cause and effect'. This also shows that even my mother's prayer or a good deed has the capacity to alter the movement of heavenly bodies. That is why I repeatedly besiege one and all - do as much of good as possible, keeping the remembrance of God alive; always aspire for the truth and upholding of justice. As Krishna says, it is our evil deeds that are leading towards destruction of this earth. The world will soon be destroyed unless we correct ourselves.
Now one last argument! Hindu scriptures have talked at great length about the coming of Kalki avatar close to the end of the world. The Muslim scriptures have talked about the coming of Mahdi, which the Old Testament talks about a Messiach who would be arriving in the end times. Even Christians believe that Jesus has prophesied about a messiah. The Mayans of South America too were awaiting a messiah when they were overpowered by the Europeans. While some people who seem to have doubts about the power of One God to prophesy in different languages say that all these people have copied the same things from one another, there are others who are planning and conspiring to see to it that the prophesies do not get unfolded. I have shown from an example above that howsoever much they conspire, things will unfold as has been predicted by Divinity. But that does not mean we should cease to act. We will be judged in accordance with our deeds and even if God knows what would happen in future, we have been given a free fill to choose our own paths. A very curious question that arises is how is it possible that a messiah will arrive for each of the religions. Is it possible that a messiah will arrive for the Hindus and dharma will prevail all over, a messiah will arrive for the Muslims and Islam will be the world religion, a messiah will arrive for the Christians and Christianity will prevail and Judaism will be endorsed by the messiach? Truth is that all these are true statements. You will say how is it possible. The answer is the same that I have been giving all through. There is one path to God and all religions are deviations from that One Path. We all have digressed so much so that we have lost the path. Yet we all want to believe that ours is the true path. We ridicule the path of others considering our own path as the truth. The Messiah will be not a Hindu messiah or a Muslim messiah or a Jew or Christian messiah. He will be messiah from the One Lord of the Universe. He will come to preach the One Path to the Lord. All the Divine Scriptures that have source in the One Lord will get endorsed. Their true teachings will come to the forefront. And evil will be exposed. Once evil and misguidance gets exposed, the true path will shine brightly in front of each of us. That is why I say, to whatever religion you belong, if you believe that yours is the true path, think twice. The true path will be unveiled by the One Messiah that is set to arrive.
