Remember, I said no one gets the dates.
In general, prophecy from the Bible gets understood after it comes to pass.
Then it's not a prophecy. That's just you retrofitting past events into vaguely worded bible passages. Prophecies predict things that will happen in the future, that's the whole point: I'm sure it's very convenient for you that you've established an unfalsifiable system that never requires you to stick your neck out, but if a "prophecy" can only be understood in the past tense, then not only is it completely useless, but we have no way of determining whether it really is prophetic, or just wishful thinking and confirmation bias on the part of the believer. And frankly, given that I know humans exist, I know how powerful mental biases can be, and I know how willing you theists are to twist the facts to fit your pet beliefs, it's far more likely that you're just spinning nothings into portentous woo, than that god is involved at all.
