Makes sense, as the mortal realm wouldn't see it coming considering that they've nearly forgotten the events of D2/LoD. They could also be amassing their armies in hell.
You also forgot the last bit, that is in my sig. In the teaser trailer, there is a scene where a comet, a single comet, is seen falling from the sky.
I'll give you that most of that prophecy tells of the events in D1/D2/LoD, but the last part about the comet... it doesn't tie in with D2 or LoD, but it fits awfully well with the teaser trailer and what we've seen so far.
What's really debatable is whether or not the entire events of D1/D2/LoD were part of an even greater plan by the three prime evils.
The last bit is not from the manual. Is from the d3 site.
"The comet carries a dark omen in its fiery being and it calls the heroes of Sanctuary To defend the mortal world against the rising powers of the Burning Hells – And even the failing luminaries of the High Heavens itself."
Is from the 'Prophecies of the Final Day'? I thought it first appeared on the Diablo III website and was not included in this prophecy at all.
The prophecy of the final day has a second part and talked of an omen falling from the Heavens. I suppose Tyrael really is the vessel for a greater evil.
I added the second passage due to people wanting me too as stated above in the quote, nonethless I still decoded part if not most of the second passage and I am sorry if the second passage confused people in anyway, I'll go edit it now
As for the plan the prime evils might have had. Look at what Izual says when he is killed.
Izual: Tyrael was a fool to have trusted me! You see, it was I who told Diablo and his Brothers about the Soulstones and how to corrupt them. It was I who helped the Prime Evils mastermind their own exile to your world. The plan we set in motion so long ago cannot be stopped by any mortal agency. Hell, itself, is poised to spill forth into your world like a tidal wave of blood and nightmares. You and all your kind... are doomed.
So it was not Azmodan and Balial who overthrew the prime evils, but it was the prime evils' plan to be exiled to the world.
Could it be that their defeat was all part of the plan? Baal tricked Tyrael into destroying the worldstone.
What I don't get, however, is why they waited 20 years to begging their invasion?

Make demons, make more demons, make more demons. BANG, invade.
The person you quoted is wrong. The 'Prophecy of the Final Day' does not have a second part. It and the information found from the Diablo III website are seperate. I think it's a good idea to put them together and add to speculation and discuss it, but not to put them together as if they are both from the same passage.
Anyway, apart from this little thing I really like the discussion so far. There's two or three threads going on in the forums which are showing different ways in which the Diablo III storyline could go and that's really good!
Agreed, i have just edited the OP post so you may go over if you like

Well its probally due to the fact of 20 years with no evil everyone will let their guard down. Its stated on the D3 website that the story from D1 to D2:LoD was jsut a story a myth. With people believing their world, the Sanctuary, is safe, this will be a great opputunity for them to strike
Still, if you add that to the prophecy, then it still works.

You know this connection was probably supposed to be made, I mean between the prophecy and that passage about the comet.
Only Blizzard knows...
One thing is for certain, bricks will be shat.

According to the portion of the Prophecy for D3, the comet bears an omen, a foreshadowing of things to come, not that the contents of the comet is itself evil. It very well may be Tyrael. I have no doubt he shall go true Rogue in D3, but what he does he does for the good of Sanctuary. He gathers together the strongest of warriors in the hopes of uniting them against the Heavens, as the Heavens have witnessed the innate power of mankind and fears that, should Hell consume all of Mankind, the Hellish powers unleashed would be unstoppable.
Think of it this way, in StarCraft terms. Tyrael is Tassadar. Tassadar was charged with humanity's destruction for the Protoss feared the power the Zerg would have should they gain psionic potential. However, Tassadar turned his back on his people and attempted to save mankind while simultaneously fighting off the Zerg. Ultimately, however, his actions would bring destruction upon him and his loyal followers.
Tyrael fled heaven and warns mankind; in righteous anger, Heaven's luminaries, failing their age-old task of protecting humanity, come to destroy it so that no other power [ie Hell] may possess their innate powers.
Hell is caught up in another Civil War, leaderless without the Prime Evils. Diablo, Mephisto and Baal likely don't care whether they live or die, so long as their respective legacies live on and ultimately achieve their goal: the downfall of all creation through terror, hatred and destruction. Diablo inspired terror in the hearts of the masses; Mephisto's hatred took root in the minds of the leaders of the lands; and Baal sundered Heaven's solidarity (in that Tyrael overstepped his bounds, and now there will invariably be followers of Heaven and followers of Tyrael).

Be it through hallowed grounds or lands of sorrow
All in the Forger's wake is left bereft and fallow
Is the residuum worth the cost of destruction and maiming;
Or is the shaping a culling and exercise in taming?
The road's goal is the dark Origin of Being
But be wary through what thickets it winds.
