Buddhism

There are no passages of prophesy in the Bible that are intended by the writers for distant future times.

The narrative parts of the old Testament and the New Testament were written during times of extreme disillusionment. Other parts llike the Psalms were written during good times but the narrative books and Epistles (Genesis in the old, Gospels in the new) were written during periods of government oppression (Babylonian Captivity in the old and Roman persecution in the new),

When things were going well there was no need to write a narrative, go to the temple (old) or participate in the home Mass (new). However when things didn't make sense and didn't seem to be going according to script then there was a need to remythologize their understanding of the history according to current realities.

The prophets of the Old Testament and the works of Jesus, technically the last prophet of the Jews were aimed at the current situation and predictions were tied to what was going to happen in the immediate future.

When persecutions became overwhelmingly brutal then the prophetic sources would become apocalyptic (Daniel in the old, and Revelations in the new). They were always, however, aimed at the current situation and their symbolic references were aimed at contemporary figures. They highly symbolic form was aimed at surviving the understanding of the contemporary censors who might not be able to understand that the references were aimed at the local principalities. The end of the world atmospherics were intended to bring strength to those that were weakening in the face of death.

So the idea that there are future prophecies in the bible is the most glaring example of Biblical ignorance by Christians of their own book. This is not a new problem. For these reasons the Book of Revelations barely survived the vote to be added to the canonized scripture.

Now in this same sense I would expect that prophetic Buddhist writing would also have a relevence to the current reality, but I could be wrong, I haven't had any training in this area. In any case any use of numbers by ancient writers would probably have a symbolic and not a linear meaning.
