I’m told that we are not to seek our fortune through others yet my forefather’s had many such predictions that they told to others. Jacob told his son’s where their future lied on his death bed that extended many generations and prophesy is important part of the faith as well. So today who can we trust to tell our future and should we seek their advise? I believe the source is key, for example if someone’s offer your future only if money is exchanged the future might appear bleak until the next payment is made. It appears G-D has chosen individuals who through many good deeds (mitzvah’s) have or will be able to reveal such truth but only bits and pieces that sometimes come in code. Therefore listen to the wise sage for you never know when a word of your future or even your future great grandchildren might be revealed in a way that a future generation will only truly understand.
