He gave them Oral Tradition which is far more accurrate than modern writing. You see, Oral Tradition wasn't like the game of telephone at all. In ancient Hebrew society aspiring priests were made to memorize every story word by word, before becoming a priest. After becoming a priest if they told the story differently by just a single word, they were executed. And luckily for the Hebrews, God also gave them a langauge which was so perfect that it remained the same over a thousand years. Unlike poor primitive english which has older versions that modern people can barely understand (shakespeare), ancient Hebrew and modern Hebrew are IDENTICAL! And that's why they could pass the flood story down through the ages without changing a single word, and still understand it perfectly hundreds of years later! We know all this thanks to the hard work of proffessor I.M. Right from Baby Jesus University.
Ok real talk time.
There's more proof from 2000 years ago. Jesus predicted the world was going to end before the lifetimes of his original followers ended. This is recorded in the Mini-Apocalypse of Mathew, Mark and Luke. Obviously the world is still turning and Jesus was wrong. But if he was wrong he wasn't God.

He also said But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.
Matthew 24:36 Things are never simple everything can be misunderstood.

You can't know that day or the hour, but you can still know the general timeframe. Let's suppose I say that there will be thunderstorm in your city on thursday, but nobody know the exact time it will happen. But then thursday comes and goes and there isn't a thunderstorm at all. I'm still a false prophet, regardless of me saying that nobody knows the exact time it will happen.
