"This story came out shortly after 9/11, was widely reported."

Never heard about it and I'm fairly on top of the news.

As I've said repeatedly, hindsight is always 20/20. People do NOT predict their own demise. That timing belongs to God.

If people want to believe that you can predict the future etc.. then by all means believe. I know as a Christian, sorcery is off limits, at least that is what the Bible states. I know, most people don't care about that when they prefer to be influenced by someone else.

As a Christian I know you know that God spoke to people through dreams and visions quite frequently in the Bible.

Just a few places include: Genesis 15:12-21; Genesis 28:11-22; Genesis 37:5-10; Numbers 12:4-6; Judges 7:13;

"For God does not speak - now one way, now another - though man may not perceive it. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men as they slumber in their beds, he may speak in their ears and terrify them with warnings, to turn man from wrongdoing and keep him from pride, Job 33:14-17

Matthew 1:20-21..when Joseph was told about Jesus' birth in a dream.;Acts 16:9-11; Acts 18:9-11.

The Bible also speaks about people who say they have dreams in order to lead people astray as in Deuteronomy 13:1-5 and Jeremiah 23:25-29.

Jesus speaks in Matthew 12:22-37 about those who would attribute the work of the Holy Spirit to the devil. Basically he says doing so is unforgiveable.

Unless the dream or vision is contrary to what is in God's Word I suggest we be very careful about assuming it is of the devil/sorcery. But if it is contrary to God's Word we are supposed to close our ears to it. I don't see having a premonition about someone's death as being contrary to anything in the Bible. In fact, there are instances in the Bible where such things are revealed in dreams.
