A Prophet is not a fortune teller. A prophet is simply a messenger, one who speaks for GOD.
They are sent by GOD to speak to the audience of their era, their period. To pretend that they were addressing someone thousands of years in the future other than in quite obvious ways (as exemplified by Pope Gregory's prophecy that in the year 2000CE a leap day would need to be added as will be needed in 2400CE) is simply making stuff up.
Prophets carried messages from GOD to GOD's people, they spoke directly to those people, and any predictions were of the short term nature of "If you do this, the following will happen".
Are the colleges and seminaries, the majority of studied theologians over the decades and centuries all mistaken in labeling these books the prophetic scriptures?
No, you are incorrect because you do not understand the meaning of the word Prophet.
It really is as simple as that.
