It's a similar trick to reading tarot cards. They are so vague that you use them to say very general things that the "mark" feels are personally about his life, he will duly fill in the gaps that fit to specifics. When he leaves he will feel that the Tarot reader really did have great psychic powers. (in truth, it is just a good skill at fooling people)
Not really, everything adding up from prophecy and the beginnings of this new world order we are entering is strangely connected. I'm not saying they have an uncanny ability to predict the future but as a mystical creature, a human, I cannot simply disregard the philosophies behind those predictions. It might not be the actual events which play out, but the ideas behind those events are very clear and wiser than any theories I have found today.
