Would it be benefical for Alan Greenspan to know Biblical prophecy events to forecast financial trends?

No; The Bible is not a microscope for every detail Biblical Prophecy doesn't focus on the specifics connected with the small time frames that would be necessary to establish trends of a beneficial nature. It would have a similarity to predicting the weather for a certain day a month from now using the data acquired over the last twenty years. the error probability would be too large. Jesus told the Pharisees they knew what was going to happen today or tomorrow, but they didn't know the signs of the times, or the long-term trends:
Mat 16:1-3 MKJV The Pharisees and the Sadducees came to Him, tempting Him. And they asked Him that He would show them a sign from Heaven. [v. 2] He answered and said to them, When it is evening, you say, Fair weather; for the sky is red. [v. 3] And in the morning, Foul weather today; for the sky is red and gloomy.Hypocrites! You can discern the face of the sky, but you cannot see the signs of the times!
In the same way, people today know what is likely to happen in the short-term, but the understanding of long-term trends, signs, and their consequences is God-given.
Yes it would be beneficial for Alan Greenspan (or anyone) to know Biblical prophecy to be able to forecast financial trends, but he would have to do three things:-
(1). understand that nearly all Bible prophecies have three fulfillments - past, present, and future - and that most prophecy is yet to be fulfilled.
(2). take literally everything that is written in the Bible and then let the Bible interpret the Bible (otherwise it would be just another person's interpretation.)
(3). Go to internet sites that actually do this.
For example, see the following sites:-
[a] "Fulfillment of Bible Prophecy In Today's News"
(http://www.prophecyfulfillment.com/)
[b] "Escape All These Things" ( http://www.escapeallthesethings.com/planet-x-nibiru-wormwood.htm )
[c] '24 Rules For Understanding Bible Prophecy"

[d] Bible Prophecy Links

[e] "Prophecy News Watch"

[f] "Monitor The Strategic Trends"
( http://www.khouse.org/strategic_trends/ )
[g] "World net Daily"
( http://www.worldnetdaily.com/ )
If Alan Greenspan did do this and used the Bible to interpret the Bible instead of listening to other human advisers, then his forecasting of financial trends couldn't be any worse than it is now. In short, it wouldn't do any harm to follow what the Bible prophesies even if it turned out to be wrong because God looks at the intent of the heart: He will rescue the precarious situation and save the person if it has been done with the right God-and-Bible honouring motives according to the internet sites listed above. Of course, all of this pre-supposes that he is a Christian: if not, then all bets are off. Any prophecy (fortune telling) be it from Notradamus, Cayce, Jeanne Dixon, etc., even the Bible can be force fitted to any situation good or bad. Mr. Greenspan can and may use the Bible in his financial forecast, but he will not do it; even if he's a Fundamentalist Christian or not.
