Have been pondering this case with the son and the OP a lot today . . . as well as a long string of predictions going back 20 years or more . . .
imho, the Christian prophetic has been a mess for decades--ON THE WHOLE--with some few highlights that are above average but, imho, sadly not near as
perfect as I'd expect them to be.
I think David Wilkerson was above average. And maybe a few a century ago were worth noting.
Was it Jeremiah?--of whom it was said--"Not one of his words fell to the ground."
And, of course, the other pretenders to the prophetic were far worse in terms of accuracy and correct timelines.

AS I was pondering the son in the OP and my new sense from last night's shower that it likely will NOT transpire as the son asserted it would--at
least, I don't think, on 1 Oct . . .
I pondered . . .
WHAT IS WITH soooooooooooo many predictions that crash and burn uselessly?
I can understand the dark forces delighting in
1. Winding up fear--fear-mongering just for their perverse kicks and to trouble individuals with anxiety etc.
2. Deceiving because it's their nature to lie and deceive.
3. Their boss, satan is a liar and the father of lies.

Then there's the plethora of earnest Christians who either think or some do have some degree of prophetic gifting and fewer still may even have the
calling of a prophet.
I'm not one who thinks they must be 100% correct right out of the box. Few seem to get trained on the back side of the desert for 40 years to perfect
their hearing as in the Old Testament.
Yet, their hit rate is typically greatly flawed to horrifically miserable.
= = =
But let's consider the lot of them together . . . the son in the OP, the New agers; the fallen angel critters; earnest authentic Christians . . .
some of whom only think they have some prophetic gifting and others who do but who are a long ways from being ready for the big time . . .
IF we stepped back and asked . . . WHAT IS THE PURPOSE . . . say from even satan's perspective . . . of such a long period, decades, at least . . .
of failed predictions?
I know in NLP [Neuro Linguistic Programming], seeding the idea of something . . . with many false starts that are cut off just before fruition--TO A
POINT, it can build a DEMAND for the completion of the expectation.
Are the evil powers that be building soooo much anxiety, frustration, etc. so as to kind of program the earth's citizens to even be READY FOR utter
chaos, calamity?
Perhaps with the purpose that THEREFORE, they will be MUCH MORE PASSIVE in the face of it?
And in terms of inputs . . . we know that the government . . . and certainly the UFO critters seem to be technologically able to insert ideas, words,
images, videos, emotions, sounds . . . voices . . . into people's heads--via advanced technology.
Is that a source of SOME of the askew predictions?
I am skeptical that the son would be so victimized. I think he may well have some sort of gifting. I don't know if it's from the 'dark side' or
not. We don't know how many predictions, if any, the son made that didn't come true. That would be a good thing to ask the father.
But, I suppose it's possible for a black ops team to insert such notions, images etc. into the son's head surreptitiously.
In any case . . . we don't have long to wait to see what will become of his 1 Oct prediction.
