You brought up a very good point about prophecy, which made me think of something that occurred in the conversation between Sean and his Russian friend. She tells him Diana could be the Shaphat, and Zerstorer is the devil, so prophecy states the devil will return to take a Shaphat as his bride and have a hundred babies. In fact, Zerstorer is not the devil. He has to wait for someone to open the portal and then make sure whoever it is is a Grimm, so that he can piggyback his way to our world. In short, he's trapped and no one really knows why. He never refers to Diana as "his Shaphat", or the "Shaphat". He doesn't reveal what his plan is for Kelly. In fact, he doesn't reveal his plan for the world. Furthermore, the world is all asleep, with the exception of a few people wandering around at night.
That is not Armageddon where armies are massing all over to fight evil. and his are not the actions of a devil on the verge of taking over the world. I don't like Nick, but of all of them, he and gets it and knows this is not the devil. Thankfully, he wasn't around when all of them were doing their guessing games at what this creature could be or he might have had a different frame of mind.
As for Diana, I'm not saying Zerstorer didn't have a use for her. He may have been interested in getting her powers. But it's not too long before the the primary point of his visit is he wants the stick. He kills everyone around Nick to get it, with the exception of Diana and Kelly. I believe he killed Trubel but brought her back to life as a show of power to Nick.
None of this really jives with the prophecy. I'm not even sure it is a prophecy because no one really knows everything about the symbols on the cloth. They're making guesses, including the Russian lady herself.
One of the last statements she makes is an interesting one....................."I hope I'm wrong".
This big prophecy of doom, and she says she hopes she's wrong? Even worse, Sean doesn't bother to ask the all important question............."how will we know if you are wrong"?
Someone said there was a deleted scene where Diana having many babies was mentioned. The fact that it is a deleted scene tells me the whole intent of the episode was to show that Zerstorer was not the devil.
I still have wondered if perhaps this was a lesson to Nick. He was gangbusters about getting the treasure, even though he didn't have enough keys. He was desperate enough to break many laws, (I'm sure some of those were international laws), and to put his friends in jeopardy. He prevented Monroe and Eve, and even himself from dying, but in the end, Monroe and Eve still died. Nick had to go to a different dimension to bring them all back. Did the Templars know this when they buried the stick and tried to prevent anyone from getting it other than themselves?

The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
