Time Loops

gemfyreSo, I watched the first Terminator movie again today (will be watching T2 tonight) and I noticed something.
Kyle says a few things that imply that the time loop of the story (Kyle being John's father) was already established.
He mentions that Sarah and John were in hiding BEFORE the war. Now, why would they be in hiding unless Sarah already knew there was going to be a war and John would be an important figure in it and needed protection and training for his role?
Also, after telling Sarah that John gave him a photo of her, he says "I didn't know why at the time." Of course, John must have already known that Kyle would have to be the one sent back in time to complete the loop and become his father. But perhaps he felt that Kyle couldn't be told about his role. He had to volunteer for some reason, and that reason was the photo of Sarah.
This realisation actually makes the whole story make MORE sense to me, believe it or not.
