If you're interested in prophecy, consider that the Christian gospel has been in a Jewish genealogy since Moses wrote it in roughly 1500 BC. Given that Noah is the last common ancestor we all have, that means we all have the gospel in our genealogy. Kind of cool and couldn't have been forged as the Jews themselves killed the Messiah, and even Jesus's followers didn't understand what happened immediately afterward.
