Well the counterfeits also have their "prophecies" and eschatological paradigms. Many would like the planet to forget about 70AD. Those who rejected Jesus as messiah are trying to drag everyone into expectation of their version of a messiah so they'd rather the world forget or deny what happened happened. The destruction of the temple in 70AD, some would have us believe it all to have been an allegory...but clearly the relics and the historical record speak of something far from mere allegory.
