UPDATE: They are false prophets. I went to web.archive.com to view the site in the past. Every time a prophecy doesn’t come true, they omit it. Check the site from 2007:

"2008: Hilary Clinton elected U.S. President "

That didn’t happen…haha! God said that if anyone speaks a prophecy that doesn’t come true, they are not prophets of God. These are false prophets. Beware of them who come in sheep’s clothing, for inwardly they are wolves.

Saint Malachy O’Morgair was a good prophet though. He knew the names of each Pope after his time, even the current one. There is one more Pope after the current one, he prophesied…

That site’s pretty wacky. I looked at it one time before because I heard the guy who runs the site had correctly predicted that the next pope after John Paul II would take the name Benedict XVI. He has some pretty specific prophecies that haven’t come true, and he even lists the exact date when Jesus will return. I’m kind of fascinated by eschatology too, but most of the sites out there are pretty bogus. I like Mark Mallett’s site, though. Have you checked him out?

No man knows the hour. Rather than looking for specific prophecies and such, which have always, in my experience, turned out to be utter nonsense, I’d rather be reading what the Church Fathers and even later theologians thought about Eschatology. We can’t know what specificly will happen, when it will happen, but we can learn to better understand what God has already provided.
 
That’s Ron Conte’s website, and he’s a member here. I don’t agree with some of his views, but he’s not a “false prophet”! He doesn’t claim to be a prophet, he’s just trying to interpret the prophecies of true prophets and people, like Saints, who many of us believe are true prophets. And, btw, he has some of his mistaken predictions on his website, so I don’t think he’s trying to cover that up.
 
The very fact they are actually presuming to set dates shows they are wacky.

Furthermore, their insistence on a literal earthly millennium shows they are heretical, as the Church repudiated this doctrine at the Second Ecumenical Council. This is why the Nicene Creed has the clause “whose kingdom shall have no end.”

Moreover, this prophecy <<2009: Pope Benedict XVI suggests building three places of worship in Jerusalem, a Temple, a Church, and a Mosque, so that these three religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, can worship in peace in the City of Peace. “For he did not know what to say, for they were exceedingly afraid.” (Mk 9:6). >>

shows his utter ignorance of the situation. There are already churches (especially Holy Sepulchre), mosques, and synagoges in Jerusalem.

Finally, the prophecies of St. Malachy were totally unkown for centuries after his death. His biographer did not even mention them. Many scholars consider them spurious.
 
Ihave often heard priests say worry about your own end, it will probably come before* the end*

I think it is good advice
