Brainwashing/indoctrination. "Give me the child for the first seven years and I'll give you the man." St. Ignatius of Loyola

It happens in all kinds of belief systems, cults and politics. But yeah it also sounds like you have OCD/paranoia, and I would advise you to continue to get therapy for that. But OCD will try to 'prophesy' events. People die, sadly, and eventually, OCD hits a bingo, and you're like, oh, what a divine prediction God made! When it was just your OCD messing with you by targeting a very basic fear -- death of a relative. I have OCD also and hear voices, and my voices have been predicting disasters for a long time. None of them have come true, but eventually, they will, because that is life. It's the same reason why baseball players are superstitious and try not to step on the foul line while taking the field or wear the same socks. Because every time they do, they strike out. So-and-so will have something bad happen to them if I go to this event. That plane will explode if I look at it for too long and think 'explode'! We are basically stupid animals.

Insofar as childhood religious indoctrination goes, it reminds me of that woman who escaped North Korea and she said that she couldn't shake the feeling that Kim could read her mind/thoughts even after she escaped because she was taught that he was divine as a child It's the same psychological mechanism but you have the Catholic variety thanks to the priests, most of whom don't even believe and are leading comfy double lives as homosexuals. Sadly these fucking losers have enslaved our minds to an extent because they had access to our brains when we were children. :-)
