Wow, I really hate this "respect" shit. I almost thought you were being sarcastic but turns out you're not.

I've got a much better track record of fulfilled prophecies than this amateur.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

There are some deadly accurate predictions of the coming of the Messiah in the Old Testament as well. Reasonably accurate anyway it wasn't quite 100% but it could have been the Jews who were getting a few details wrong. Jesus predicted the destruction of the Jewish Temple which happened in 70 AD so that's a good bit of prediction there if you're into that sort of thing.

This. I can predict shit all day long too, and there is a good chance it'll happen. For instance:
Within the next 100 years, a volcano in the Hawaiian islands will erupt. Worship me.

Rest your weary mind
No demons in the furnace below (I am the frenzy)
I have realized I AM GOD

The only gospel of the four that was written after the destruction of the Temple was John.

But we can't be certain of any historical account wasn't tampered with or misrepresented from the reality of what actually happened. I don't think any of Jesus's followers would have deliberately told lies about him and something like this would have had to have been if it were later inserted after the event. But I can't say it's not possible if you prefer to believe that. A faith is more than just a belief in the metaphysical/supernatural stuff it's also a trust that the people involved weren't simply spouting a bunch of bullshit and lies for some reason or other. If you want to say it's gullibility I don't think any of these people were con-men or out for personal or material gain I think I'm a good judge of character.
