Geoff:
Not necessarily. The prophecy does NOT specifically say 1980. It 
could have been a later year... 

The prophecy does not have a sell-by date on it. :-)

Sherrie (that's me - the redhead) responds:
The wording of the prophecy implies that the birth of the Child of Destiny 
(love that phrase...) was imminent - this was something that was to occur within 
months, not years.  IMHO, a child born at a later date wouldn't fulfill the 
imminence implied by the wording.
