Ah, how come anyone of you did not thought about Nostradamus?
That guy apparently "saw" the whole future and his followers do
consider him to be the prophet. Also, every major event in our history
was 'predicted' by him. Certainly one will be able to find appropriate
prophecy which match this Dune criteria.
Also, if you go to any area of human civilizations (historically or
geographically) which is not blessed with accurate historical
records, you can easily find prophecies of such type. Thematic like
son of god, or some kind of god messenger appears in mythology all
over this lovely planet. Spanish used one of such myths when they
first came to America. The minor point that they slaughter the
population instead of helping them can be ignored.
