The problem I have with these predictions, besides coming from a collection of stories bound into a single tome of which many of the stories were directly stolen from other older civilizations if not just entirely factually untrue, is that adherents to this mythology have been saying "SOON", and "It's Coming" since Peter and Paul. It's boy that cried wolf. In reference to factual inaccuracy and outright theft from older cultures, as an example reference, since I mentioned it, I give you Sargon of Akkad. As part of or one of the anecdotes of his origin story, he was floated in a reed basket down a river as a baby where then he was found and adopted. This is 22-23century BC, some 1,000 years more or less, before the story of Moses was suppose to have taken place. That's just a small sample of the blatant theft, and unreliability found in these biblical stories. Most of the characters named never existed and are amalgamations of other actual real figures like Sargon not even associated with biblical events.

Sargon survives as a legendary figure into the Neo-Assyrian literature of the Early Iron Age. Tablets with fragments of a Sargon Birth Legend were found in the Library of Ashurbanipal from the 7th century BC. According to this legend, Sargon was the illegitimate son of a priestess (older translations describe his mother as lowly). She brought him forth in secret and placed him in a basket of reeds on the river. He was found by Akki the irrigator who raised him as his own son. (Source)
