AnswerLooking back at an apparent prophecy to validate a later event that has come to pass is hindsight. It can be used with Bible passages, both from a Christian or Islamic standpoint. It can be done in everyday life, when in hindsight we believe a past event foreshadowed something that happened later.

If Moses was a prophet then what were his prophecies?

In Biblical terms a prophet isn't someone who foretells the future, although that can happen. A Biblical prophet is one who speaks for God, or through whom God speaks. Moses' story can be found in the first 5 books of the Bible. When he speaks what God has told him, those are "his prophecies."* Prophecies in Exodus * Prophecy in Numbers * Prophecies in DeuteronomyPerhaps the best well known predictive prophecy is when God through Moses predicted Jesus coming in Deuteronomy 18 v 17-18And the Lord said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken. I will raise them up a Prophet, from among their brethren,like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.
