At what point do predictions of the future change from prescience to prophecy
1. At what point do predictions of the future change from prescience to prophecy? Muad’Dib was
more than just talented man who could calculate quantum physics probabilities in his head. He
was more than just a mystic. He was a prophet, worshipped by fanatical followers who took his
holy war across all the planets of the known universe. Whether or not the hand of God was
behind it, millions of people believed that it was. Many evens in Muad’Dib’s life mirror those of
our own prophets and messiahs. His coming was predicted by other prophets. He was marked
as special from the moment he was born. He faced obstacles and trials, including betrayal by a
close friend. He led his people to freedom. He passed proverbs and wise teachings on to his
followers. He had the power to see the future. Even though Muad’Dib was born an outsider. It
is this connection with this people that led the Fremen to follow him with such devotion.
Muad’Dib tried to escape his “terrible purpose” and prevent the religious war, but ultimately
his followers grew into the fanatics he had foreseen, and he could not stop them. In the end, he
railed against the religion which gave him godhead and then killed people in his name. But he
knew that, even after his death, the jihad would follow his ghost. Muad’Did, was after all, just a
man. In his own words, “there exists no separation between gods and men, one blends softly
casual into the other”
So basically this story is trying to tell that Muad’Dib WAS a Prophet.
