There is a difference between scientific prediction and made up biblical stories though. I mean Kurzweil predicts computers will beat the human champion at chess by 1998 and it happens in 1997, predicts computers will pass the turing test by 2029 and that seems to be happening a bit ahead of schedule. That is a different category of thing to:

>And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes...

etc. I haven't seen any seven eyed Lambs for a while.
