Excellent idea !  I asked https://grok.com/ .
Grok said "There is no widely recognized or historically verified "Lincoln's Old Prophecy" attributed to Abraham Lincoln. The term might refer to a misattributed quote, apocryphal story, or a fictional prophecy created in later works, such as those by authors like Robert Lincoln or in speculative fiction. One possibility is a confusion with Lincoln’s documented speeches, like his 1838 Lyceum Address, where he warned about dangers to American democracy from internal strife or mob rule, which some interpret as prophetic. Alternatively, it could stem from folklore or modern narratives projecting prophetic ideas onto Lincoln."
"If you’re referring to a specific quote, text, or source (e.g., a book, movie, or post on X), please provide more details, and I can dig deeper or analyze relevant content. I can also search X or the web for recent mentions if needed. What context or source are you thinking of?"
