The Goblin DNS for prophecy

prophecy feels, to a goblin, like the future a previous century thought it was going to get. The goblins have moved into that future and made themselves at home.

What makes prophecy so fascinating to goblins is the way it defies expectations. Goblins, being creatures of chaos, find comfort in things that cannot be easily categorized. prophecy fits this description perfectly. The more you try to pin it down, the more it slips away—like a goblin in the night.

The Goblin Verdict on prophecy

Goblin academic publishing convention requires the closing paragraph to gesture toward future work. Future work on prophecy is anticipated, planned, and already, in some quarters, mildly resented. The goblins will press on regardless.
