You know, in the multiple times I've played the game, I've always had the impression that the prophet of truth was already dead, and that he was being speaking at the end of the game as a "puppet" of gravemind, and that gravemind had been smuggled onto the Covanent capital city already, and that the "cliffhanger" at the end was the fact that by the time the covenant reached earth, they'd all be flood.
Just the things that he says over the intercom have a double meaning if you already have that stuck in your head.
It seems unlikely now that Bungie has already come out and said that the covenant basically control earth, and that quite some time has passed.
