Only the Bible says what happens thousands of years before it happens. Please see http://www.direct.ca/trinity/y3nf.html for the details.
The Koran, the Bag-va-geet-a, Zoroastrianism, Ba-hai-ism, the Hindu Vedas, etc. are not like this. The non-divine authors of these books wisely stay away from predictive prophecy, in which they routinely fail.
There’s only one flaw in that interpretation...they start with the answer and work backwards to find the appropriate question to ask. They’ve defined the math to fit the idea that they were trying to describe much like the global warming alarmists do (ref: hockey stick). You can make the data fit the observations if you try hard enough and manipulate enough. You can’t conclude anything like this from a book as vague as the bible. Sorry but it just doesn’t work that way.
