I don't believe that knowledge of the future qualifies under the guidelines of justified true belief.

I just gave you an example.
Tomorrow, nothing will exist which is both red all over, and green all over.


I do believe it. Do you think it isn't true or that my belief isn't justified. Please explain.

Here is another one: A week from today there will be no squirrel which is fatter than itself.
