That's not the only thing that statement can mean, it's simply means it's the only thing you're willing to accept that statement to mean for whatever reason.
Unity, you are doing nothing but reiterating your own interpretation (using sound logic, I'm not denying that) and insisting it is the only valid interpretation, and dismissing all other interpretations based only on the fact that it is not congruent with your own. I'm not trying to discredit your interpretation or logic, I am showing that there are other valid interpretations, and the fact that you won't accept them doesn't mean they don't exist. Unfortunately, your non-acceptance of other interpretations blinds you to that fact, and discussion at that point becomes moot.
Luckily, it will be easy for you to prove Ra is not ambiguous in their words. Simply tell me exactly what is going to happen, when it is going to happen, and how we are going to know it happened. Then, after that date comes, we will know for sure you are right.
The difference between our viewpoints would be that after that date, if nothing happens, you will be forced to dismiss the Ra material because the only interpretation you saw did not come true, and you will not be able to re-interpret or re-arrange your understanding of the material.
So, tell me, what exactly is going to happen and how am I going to know it happened? Take away the ambiguity.
