However historical events which occurred long after the prophecies were spoken and written are something to scratch your head into.
I have yet to hear a prophecy from any religion that wasn't either so vague that it could mean virtually anything or was simply no different than an accurate prediction. What prophecies do you imagine don't fall into either of those two categories?
One of the prophecies is the 3rd seal in the Book of Revelations.
I have already revealed what the 1st and 2nd seal were about and shown where it was in history.
1st - 380 AD - Nicene Christianity
2nd - 1096-1291 AD - Crusades
I have to move forward to the 3rd seal to
show "a prophecy from any religion that wasn't either so vague that it could mean virtually anything or was simply no different than an accurate prediction"
The seven seals are events written by the apostle John as recorded in the Book of Rev before 100 AD
The events prophesied far into the future from 380 AD to 1939 AD
Now to the 3rd seal:
Revelation 6:5-6 New International Version (NIV)
When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard what sounded like a voice among the four living creatures, saying, “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil and the wine!”
When did this prophecy written? before 100 AD
When did this prophecy fulfilled? 1315-1322
Where did this happen? Europe
What represents the black horse? Famine
History recorded as:
The Great Famine of 1315–1317 (occasionally dated 1315–1322) was the first of a series of large-scale crises that struck Europe early in the 14th century. ... Crop failures lasted through 1316 until the summer harvest in 1317, and Europe did not fully recover until 1322.

How are we sure that this is really the history foretold way back 100 AD?
In the year of our Lord 1315, apart from the other hardships with which England was afflicted, hunger grew in the land.... Meat and eggs began to run out, capons and fowl could hardly be found, animals died of pest, swine could not be fed because of the excessive price of fodder. A quarter of wheat or beans or peas sold for twenty shillings [
In 1313 a quarter of wheat sold for five shillings.], barley for a mark, oats for ten shillings. A quarter of salt was commonly sold for thirty-five shillings, which in former times was quite unheard of. The land was so oppressed with want that whe the king came to St. Albans on the feast of St. Laurence [August 10] it was hardly possible to find bread on sale to supply his immediate household....
The dearth began in the month of May and lasted until the feast of the nativity of the Virgin [September 8]. The summer rains were so heavy that grain could not ripen. It could hardly be gathered and used to bake bread down to the said feast day unless it was first put in vessels to dry. Around the end of autumn the dearth was mitigated in part, but toward Christmas it became as bad as before. Bread did not have its usual nourishing power and strength because the grain was not nourished by the warmth of summer sunshine. Hence those who ate it, even in large quantities, were hungry again after a little while. There can be no doubt that the poor wasted away when even the rich were constantly hungry....
Considering and understanding these past miseries and those that were still to come, we can see how the prophecy of Jeremiah is fulfilled in the English people: "If I go forth into the fields, behold those slain with the sword, and if I enter into the city behold them that are consumed with famine" (Jeremiah 14.18). Going "forth into the fields" when we call to mind the ruin of our people in Scotland and Gascony, Wales and Ireland ... Entering the city we consider "them that are consumed with famine" when we see the poor and needy, crushed with hunger, lying stiff and dead in the wards and streets....
Four pennies worth of coarse bread was not enough to feed a common man for one day. The usual kinds of meat, suitable for eating, were too scarce; horse meat was precious; plump dogs were stolen. And, according to many reports, men and women in many places secretly ate their own children....
