Dude, I like it but you write so much that even your table of contents exceeds the max. Something to think about coming from me. I get told all the time how much people don't read what I write.

I may or may not have time to do counterpoint. Just remember, all the statements of the future are hopeful with their validity based on the amount of hope the person can muster up for them to happen. Only the person with perfect hope (the One God) can perfectly plan the future. The rest will be surprised! The same is true of the past but with narrative instead of hope.
