What he 'prophesied' was so common that people have been using his words to determine that "now is the end" since something like the 1500s, if not earlier.
Jesus warned us of how things would be at the end of the age.
It's mildly depressing that after centuries of continued progress despite our failings, there are still people who prefer to focus on the failings to push an agenda that should have been shelved thousands of years ago, when the first "end of the age" expectations failed to materialize.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
