Sorry, but the Messiah's appearance 483 years after the return of the Jews from Babylon was prophesied in advance. The book was already written when Jesus appeared since he referred to it.
Furthermore, the prophecies about the Second Coming and the U.N. and Babylon the Great ("Illuminati") are all now between 1900 and 2500 years old!
Are you saying the Bible was just written after these things occurred? Ridiculous!
The whole point of the article was to point to things happening now prophesied centuries ago. So your argument used to be a convenient quick-argument but it doesn't work! You have to do better than that.
Cheers,
