Which scholars have accepted them as accurate? Can you find any scholars who are not themselves Christian who agree that this is the correct interpretation of the 'prophecy'?
The problem with Biblical prophecies is that they tend to use vague language that can be interpreted loosely (it's the same trick astrology uses with your horoscope, which is why credulous people think they're very impressive). You say that people have interpreted this language to relate to things, but does that necessarily make it so? It's simply nowhere near specific enough to be taken seriously as a prophecy.
