Israel will be victorious over its enemies
Prophecy written between 701 to 681 BCIsaiah 41:12-14
12You shall seek them and not find them-
Those who contended with you.
Those who war against you
Shall be as nothing,
As a nonexistent thing.

Saying to you, 'Fear not, I will help you.'

You men of Israel!
I will help you," says the Lord
And your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

Israel will be rebuilt
Prophecies written about 750 BCAmos 9:11-13
11"On that day I will raise up
The tabernacle of David, which has fallen down,
And repair its damages;
I will raise up its ruins,
And rebuild it as in the days of old;
13"Behold, the days are coming," says the Lord,
"When the plowman shall overtake the reaper,
And the treader of grapes him who sows seed;
The mountains shall drip with sweet wine,
And all the hills shall flow with it.
After being destroyed by the Assyrians and Romans and having been in ruins for the past 2000 years, the Jews who were scattered all over the world started returning to Israel during the past 100 years. After using highly advanced irrigation and farming procedures, the returning Jews have turned much of Israel into productive farmland and has turned it into the source of food for many countries.
Prosperity promised to Israel
Ezekiel 36:1111I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bear young; I will make you inhabited as in former times, and do better for you than at your beginnings. Then you shall know that I amthe Lord.
Fulfilled during the past 100 years
After enjoying prosperity 3,000 years ago, Israel fell into ruins and devestation for thousands of years. Israel's prosperity has been re-established during the past 100 years.
Trees again grow in Israel
Prophecy written between 701-681 BC Isaiah 41:18-20
18I will open rivers in desolate heights,
And fountains in the midst of the valleys;
I will make the wilderness a pool of water,
And the dry land springs of water.
19 I will plant in the wilderness the cedar and the acacia tree,
The myrtle and the oil tree;
I will set in the desert the cypress tree and the pine
And the box tree together,
20That they may see and know,
And consider and understand together,
That the hand of the Lord has done this,
And the Holy One of Israel has created it.
Fulfilled during the 1900's
Israel had become desolate and remained so for much of the past 2000 years, mostly because of the lack of available water. During the 1900s, after many Jews returned home, they built irrigation systems and planted 200 million trees, which flourished.
Israel's fruit fills the world
Prophecy written between 701-681 BC Isaiah 27:66Those who come He shall cause to take root in Jacob;
Israel shall blossom and bud,
And fill the face of the world with fruit.
