another lesson on humility that when their prophesying fails are unable to say oops we got it wrong and go on to live a life of simple faith, helping the poor, feeding the poor, and honouring work and the value of sound education.. and learn that inspiration can be a tricky master so when you next feel such a datelooks like a point in time to reserve your thoughts and leave such things in Gods hands.
