I didn't exactly take the propechy seriously, I mean when to prophecies ever come true? I thought it just made the Dragonborn's achievement all the better, that he actually managed to beat it. It seems a bit pointless that eventually Alduin will destroy the world, what's the point in just delaying it?

What is the procedure for Alduin coming back anyway? will he just get up and walk it off? and is it just impossible to ever beat him? that doesn't make sense, he's no god, just a really, really, really strong dragon.

And wasn't the prophecy made by the Nord survivors of the Dragon war? they knew they were only sending him forward in time. They just figured that that was when the world would end, it doesn't have to.

I don't know, it all seems a bit fishy to me and frankly its ruined the main story completely. I wouldn't count simply delaying the world as actually saving it.
