It has been realized by students of the Bible for more than a hundred years that the parable of the fig tree meant that Israel would become a nation again.
Israel became a nation again on May 14, 1948.So are we to take it that any random story or parable that someone tells [I]might[/I] be a prophecy, if only we wait long enough? This is an example of retrospective validation.
I don’t even understand most of the other stuff about sunspots, planetary convergences, and Halley’s Comet. If I’m reading you right, you seem to be taking it for granted that the Star of Bethlehem was Halley’s Comet, and using that to prove something else that I can’t quite make out. I gather that you’re selectively quoting from some book, and you may simply not understand what it is you’re quoting.
