Pondering Scripture-stretching, I just realized two can play that game. Let's try
Håvamål of Norse mythology, shall we?
All door-ways,
before going forward,
Doorways didn't go forward in the time of the Old Norse, so clearly this is a prediction of the revolving or sliding door.
less sure is that
which a man must have
in another’s breast.
The ancient Norsemen didn't need things from each others' chests, so this must be a reference to later heart transplants.
103. At home let a man be cheerful,
and towards a guest liberal;
of wise conduct he should be,
The term 'liberal' didn't exist at that time, so obviously it must be a reference to today's liberal. We are obviously the Norse Gods' chosen people.
There's also this guy who rides over the sky with a hammer to create lightning. Clearly this is a reference to how modern humans, with our planes, are creating more bad weather for ourselves with global warming.
Or what about the valkyries? They flew in over battlefields and retrieved the fallen. No one could fly in those days, so clearly they're refering to the Med-Evac choppers of today - and choppers are even closely linked to the tune
Ride of the Valkyries.
Then we have Odin, who sacrificed his eyes for infinite wisdom. This must be a prophecy that one day we'd have the Internet, a source of near-infinite wisdom, and that gazing for too long on the computer screen would damage our eyesight.

I could go on all day. And when I was finished with Norse mythology, I could move on to Buddhism, Aztec mythology, African mythologies, or any other religious text. And upon finishing those, I could move on to classic literary works such as the Narnia Chronicles.
