Bhavishya Pur�na was written to describe the future kings in relation to the fixed "zero" moment, which was the Bharata Battle. That moment is like separating the past from the future in the present time of the horrifying War Reality. (It looks like a Samvat system: Before Battle era (so-to-call 'BB') with the Vedic and Adi-Purana and the After Battle era (so-to-call 'AB') with the Adi-Bhavishya, which is lost or hidden in the recent Bhavishya. Bhavishya is in my opinion not a prediction Pur�na but a descriptive actuality work expanding with the time running. In that sense it has historical value, but with the danger of possible copy errors.
