QUESTION:
You said on your blog: "In fact, Satan is intentionally creating a counterfeit fulfillment of prophecy, knowing that this deception will mislead many anointed "stars" into "falling from heaven"
Does this not mean that as we get close to the Kingdom's birth, that Satan will make the false prophets lies come true so anointed are fooled?
We haven't seen any of her prophecies come true, but if she is to have any credibility, then things like the "UN getting teeth" etc. must in some way come true.
MY REPLY:
It certainly seems possible that Satan could fabricate more counterfeit fulfillment of prophecy within his world (1John5:19; Matt.4:8,9).
But I think of prophecies
which also contain God's words, that He will make these false prophets look like fools, by preventing confirmation for their predictions.
Here are some scriptures to consider....
Isa.44:24,25,26; Prov.22:12; 1Cor.1:19; Jer.5:11,12,13,14; Zech.1:6; 2Chron.18:20,21,22; 2Thess.2:11; 1Tim.4:1; Rev.13:14; 16:13,14.
God certainly allows the false prophets to teach lies and lets the proud be mislead by them.
Rev.13:13,14,15 says that the false prophet (that is dominating the Chosen Ones) can "make fire come from heaven" and that it is this sign, along with giving the Org./Beast the appearance of being spirit-breathed/directed, which are the two counterfeit signs that God deems significant enough to record for us.
The "fire from heaven" is a reference to Elijah (2Kings1:10). That fire displayed that Elijah had God's backing, and he was able to condemn and destroy apostates with it.
This sign is fabricated by the false prophet against those loyal to God (Rev.13:15; 17:6; John16:2; Rev.6:9; 11:7; 12:11)
What about the claim of being "God-breathed" or, "spirit-directed"?
Here are the baptism vows:
Watchtower 1985 June 1 p.30
(1) On the basis of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, have you repented of your sins and dedicated yourself to Jehovah to do his will?
(2) Do you understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of Jehovah's Witnesses in association with God's spirit-directed organization?
These two counterfeit signs of the false prophet (Rev.13:11), are already fulfilled....Are they not?
Those two are the signs that matter, because they were the ones Satan needed to use, to mislead the Chosen.
These two seem to be enough to keep blinded followers in captivity today, even if the other doctrines about the world do not come about.
It seems that "J.W.'s" are willing to just keep waiting for those other "predictions".
Yet there are many even among Chosen Ones outside the Organization who have fallen for these false physical "signs" (Matt.16:4; 1Thess.5:2,4; Luke17:20,22,23,24; Psalm97:4,11; Luke12:40,37; Matt.25:10; 22:8,9; Rev.19:9; 2Cor.4:18; Matt.24:42). These will miss out on the spiritual feast of the accurate spiritual interpretation (1Cor.2:7,10,12,13,14).
These mislead Invited ones, teach and preach interpretations not found in scripture, effectively aiding Satan in distracting their hearers from the genuine spiritual (and scriptural) interpretation of prophecy (Gen.40:8; Rom.3:4; John16:13,14; 17:17; 8:47; Eph.6:17).
If God does allow Satan to fabricate a fuller counterfeit, then we will see more of those misleading physical signs.

But I balance such an expectation with Isa.44:25 also.
I am happy to see that you are still studying and digging for the treasure of understanding.
Keep asking.
NOTE:
I apologize again for thinner provisions as of late. Prayers are appreciated.

"We will also increase our joy if we prayerfully and diligently study God's spirit - inspired Word and Christian publications prepared under the spirit's guidance." Watchtower 1992 Mar 15 pp.21-22
"When the time comes to clarify a spiritual matter in our day, holy spirit helps responsible representatives of the faithful and discreet slave at world headquarters to discern deep truths that were not previously understood. (Matt. 24:45; 1 Cor. 2:13) The Governing Body as a whole considers adjusted explanations. (Acts 15:6) What they learn, they publish for the benefit of all."Watchtower 2010 Jul 15 pp.22-23
