He was probably just a really smart man. Not some psycic.

I could say like
In the winds of the fallen
Another will rise, bearing flowers
But darkness will turn its shadowy veil
And hope of whats left will come

And then in like 10 years some war will happen, then some peace dude will rock up, but no one will give a shit. and people will be like "Whoa OMB predicted the future"
