We have also indicated whether the prophecy was "before the fact" or "after the fact." If the first telling of a prophecy or vision occurred after the prophecied event had taken place, this would be considered an '''"after the fact" prophecy'''. In order to be classified as a true prophecy, the prophecy must be publicly recorded '''"before the fact", that is before the fulfillment of the prophecy occurs'''.
