>"This generation" is the generation around during the time of the prophecy.
Haven't you read where the Bible says the following two things:
"A seed shall serve him; it shall be accounted to the Lord for a generation.
They shall come, and shall declare his righteousness unto a people that shall be born, that he hath done this."
(Psalm 22:30-31)
"But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy."
(1 Peter 2:9-10)

The dates are not that accurate, no. I would break it down like this:
4257 – 2601 BC - Age of cursed earth (Genesis 3:17, 8:21)
2601 – 1530 BC - From the flood to the time of Melchizedek (i.e. Patriarchal history)
1530 BC - Beginning of Mosaic covenant
1530 – 586 BC - The Tabernacle and Temple era (divided monarchy 975 BC)
586 – 516 BC - Babylonian Exile period
516 – 404 BC - Second Temple era Old Testament
404 – 5 BC - Intertestament period
4 BC – AD 26/27 Early life of Christ
AD 26 through Friday April 7, AD 30 - Ministry of Christ
30 AD until now - Beginning of new covenant (Hebrews 8)
Dates for the first two time periods may vary. 1530 BC is an estimate for 1530-1533 BC, while 2601 BC could really be in the range of 2601-2618 BC.

>on the same bible it's said there is oral tradition and things Christ did that aren't written in the tests and that God talks outside the bible too.
The Bible talks about the traditions of the Pharisees as an example of manmade oral traditions. It doesn't reflect kindly on those traditions. Christ even said that the Pharisees were "making the word of God of none effect" through "their traditions," in essence placing their own traditions higher than Scripture.
Jesus Christ said in Matthew 24:35, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away." This remains true today. We have not lost even a single word that God inspired, between then and now.
In 2 Peter 1:20-21, it also says,
"Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost."
And in Isaiah 55:10-11 the Bible says:
"For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."
Psalm 119:160 also says, "Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever."
When it says "every one" in the above verse, it literally means every single one.
>which many Christian denominations don't agree on,
Back again to the point about relying on people instead of God. You can't let people throw you off like that. You will guarantee that you NEVER arrive at the truth, if you hesitate every single time there is disagreement among people.
>multiple interpretations
Again see 2 Peter 1:20. "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation."

>The Bible exists because of the Catholic Church, not the opposite.
Catholicism was one of the groups that tried to corrupt the Bible, anon. To this day they still use and promote a corrupted version that isn't based on the received text.

>No, these are passages from the New Testament.
They are more authoritative than anything you can come up with. I could also reference the different antichrist-related passages, but that would refer to a larger group of heresies, because there are others who deny Christ but do not LARP as Jews.
>not someone genuinely interested in historical discussion.
Authentic history I am interested in. But pilpul and presuppositionalist atheism, no, even if it calls itself historical. It isn't.
