Remember though: The scroll fortold, that when brothers fight each other (Imperials and Stormcloaks) the world eater will return. So the scrolls knew A: that this war will happen exactly at this time and B: That Alduin will return exactly then.

So it seems to me, that the scrolls not randomly sent Alduin forward in time. The Wiki says, that the Scrolls might have been created by the Aedra. Aedra to me, means our ancestor gods, Auri-El etc.

But could this be true ? Who founded this rumor in the first place ? The scrolls seem to be super powerfull and beyond everything, even Daedra. It's questionable, if the Aedra really created them on purpose. Let's not forget the name "Elder Scrolls" Who are the Elders ? Questions over questions. We simply don't understand them, and we probably never will.

We know, that Aedra can possess strong and understandable objects. The Eye of Magnus being a good example for this.
