Isaiah said this during a time when the northern kingdom of Israel had already been conquered by the Assyrian Empire. And the southern kingdom, Judah, was about to be conquered by Babylon. (The Bible explains that Israel and Judah lost their independence because so many of the residents had turned to false religions). But, since 1948 when Israel was re-established, Israel has been attacked by much-larger countries. And Israel has prevailed in each of those attacks. This prophecy has found partial fulfillment; Christian scholars believe that a time will come when all of Israel's enemies are destroyed.</span></span></span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="color: #339966"><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><span style="color: #808080"><em><strong>Here is Isaiah 41:12-14</strong></em></span></span></span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="color: #339966"><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><span style="color: #808080"><em>Though you search for your enemies, you will not find them.

(King David ruled Israel from about 1010 BC to about 970 BC). The land of David - Israel - was conquered and destroyed by the Babylonians, Assyrians and Romans. The land has been in ruins for much of the past 2000 years. The Jews, who had been scattered throughout the world, began to return in large numbers during the past 100 years. Since then, they have been rebuilding many of Israel's ancient cities. Amos also said there would be continuous planting and harvesting. During the past 100 years, the Jews have been using advanced farming and irrigation techniques to turn barren land into productive farmland. Today, Israel is a source of food for many countries.</span></span></span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="color: #339966"><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><span style="color: #808080"><em><strong>Here is Amos 9:11, 13</strong></em></span></span></span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="color: #339966"><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><span style="color: #808080"><em>"In that day I will restore David's fallen tent.

The Bible describes Israel as being a prosperous nation during the time of King David and King Solomon about 3000 years ago. But, Ezekiel knew a very different Israel. In Ezekiel's day (he lived about 2600 years ago), the northern kingdom of Israel already had been decimated by the Assyrians, and the southern kingdom (called Judah) was being destroyed by the Babylonians. In the centuries that followed these destructions, Jews rebuilt the city of Jerusalem, but their homeland was destroyed again, by the Romans, about 1900 years ago. Since then, a majority of Jews have lived in exile. But during the past 100 years, millions of Jews from around the world moved to Israel and they have been rebuilding the country once again. Today, Israel again is an independent nation, as it was in the days of King David, and it is one of the world's most prosperous countries. In 1999, Israel had the highest per capita Gross Domestic Product of any nearby country, even though the surrounding countries have many oil resources.</span></span></span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="color: #339966"><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><span style="color: #808080"><em><strong>Here is Ezekiel 36:11</strong></em></span></span></span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="color: #339966"><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><span style="color: #808080"><em>I will increase the number of men and animals upon you, and they will be fruitful and become numerous.

The lack of available water, including rain, is one reason why Israel had been a desolate, unproductive land during much of the past 2000 years. But, during the 1900s, when many Jews returned to their ancient homeland, they built a network of irrigation systems. And during the past century, more than 200 million trees have been planted in Israel.</span></span></span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="color: #339966"><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><span style="color: #808080"><em><strong>Here is Isaiah 41:18-20</strong></em></span></span></span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="color: #339966"><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><span style="color: #808080"><em>I will make rivers flow on barren heights, and springs within the valleys.

This prophecy has been at least partially fulfilled, literally and symbolically. Today, the land of Israel, which had been barren for centuries, is a leading producer of agricultural products, exporting food to many countries. This prophecy also has been fulfilled symbolically with the worldwide spread of Christianity. Christianity, which began with Jesus in Israel, now has about 2 billion followers worldwide.</span></span></span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="color: #339966"><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><span style="color: #808080"><em><strong>Here is Isaiah 27:6</strong></em></span></span></span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="color: #339966"><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><span style="color: #808080"><em>In days to come Jacob will take root, Israel will bud and blossom and fill all the world with fruit.</em></span></span></span></span></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><span style="color: #339966"><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><span style="color: #c0c0c0">6.

This prophecy has not yet been fulfilled. But, it is interesting to note that Jerusalem is, and has been for centuries, the world's most important religious site. Christians and Jews regard the city as the world's most important, and Christians and Jews comprise about one-third of the world's population. No other city in the world is a religious focal point to as many people.</span></span></span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="color: #339966"><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><span style="color: #808080"><em><strong>Here is Micah 4:1</strong></em></span></span></span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="color: #339966"><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><span style="color: #808080"><em>In the last days the mountain of the Lord's temple will be established as chief among the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and peoples will stream to it.</em></span></span></span></span></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><span style="color: #339966"><span style="font-size: 15px"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><span style="color: #c0c0c0">7.

Up until the time of Ezekiel, Egypt had been a world power for centuries, dominating many nations, including Israel. But for most of the past 2500 years, Egypt has been controlled by foreign powers, including the Romans, Ottomans and Europeans. Today, Egypt is an independent nation again. In 1948, 1967 and 1973, Egypt tried to dominate Israel but was unsuccessful each time, despite the fact that Egypt is 10 times larger than Israel. Since the time of Ezekiel, Egypt no longer rules over other nations.</span></span></span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="color: #339966"><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><span style="color: #808080"><em><strong>Here is Ezekiel 29:15</strong></em></span></span></span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="color: #339966"><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><span style="color: #808080"><em>It will be the lowliest of kingdoms and will never again exalt itself above the other nations.

This prophecy has been fulfilled more than once. About 2600 years ago, Babylon destroyed Jerusalem and took many Jews as captives to Babylon. But many Jews later returned from Babylon. The Jews rebuilt Jerusalem but the city was destroyed about 1900 years ago by the Romans. The Romans killed more than 1 million Jews and forced many more into exile. The Jews did not have control of Jerusalem again until 1967 when the Jews recaptured the city during the Six Day War.</span></span></span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="color: #339966"><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><span style="color: #808080"><em><strong>Here is Zechariah 8:7-8</strong></em></span></span></span></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="color: #339966"><span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="font-family: 'Verdana'"><span style="color: #808080"><em>This is what the Lord Almighty says: "I will save my people from the countries of the east and the west.

This foreshadows what is currently happening in Israel. The Jews have been irrigating, cultivating and reconditioning the land during much of the 1900s. Many of the country's swamps, which had been infested with malaria, have been converted into farmland. And water from the Sea of Galilee has been channeled through portions of the deserts, allowing some of the deserts to bloom. Much work remains, but parts of Israel are blooming again. Although it was described as a wasteland as recently as the late 1800s, Israel is now a food source for many countries.

Isaiah lived about 2700 years ago. At that time, the Assyrians had forced many Jews in the northern kingdom of Israel into exile. Those Jews were taken to other areas in the Middle East.

Isaiah said this during a time when the northern kingdom of Israel had already been conquered by the Assyrian Empire. And the southern kingdom, Judah, was about to be conquered by Babylon. (The Bible explains that Israel and Judah lost their independence because so many of the residents had turned to false religions). But, since 1948 when Israel was re-established, Israel has been attacked by much-larger countries. And Israel has prevailed in each of those attacks. This prophecy has found partial fulfillment; Christian scholars believe that a time will come when all of Israel's enemies are destroyed.[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#339966][SIZE=2][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#808080][I][B]Here is Isaiah 41:12-14[/B][/I][/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#339966][SIZE=2][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#808080][I]Though you search for your enemies, you will not find them.

(King David ruled Israel from about 1010 BC to about 970 BC). The land of David - Israel - was conquered and destroyed by the Babylonians, Assyrians and Romans. The land has been in ruins for much of the past 2000 years. The Jews, who had been scattered throughout the world, began to return in large numbers during the past 100 years. Since then, they have been rebuilding many of Israel's ancient cities. Amos also said there would be continuous planting and harvesting. During the past 100 years, the Jews have been using advanced farming and irrigation techniques to turn barren land into productive farmland. Today, Israel is a source of food for many countries.[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#339966][SIZE=2][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#808080][I][B]Here is Amos 9:11, 13[/B][/I][/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#339966][SIZE=2][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#808080][I]"In that day I will restore David's fallen tent.

The Bible describes Israel as being a prosperous nation during the time of King David and King Solomon about 3000 years ago. But, Ezekiel knew a very different Israel. In Ezekiel's day (he lived about 2600 years ago), the northern kingdom of Israel already had been decimated by the Assyrians, and the southern kingdom (called Judah) was being destroyed by the Babylonians. In the centuries that followed these destructions, Jews rebuilt the city of Jerusalem, but their homeland was destroyed again, by the Romans, about 1900 years ago. Since then, a majority of Jews have lived in exile. But during the past 100 years, millions of Jews from around the world moved to Israel and they have been rebuilding the country once again. Today, Israel again is an independent nation, as it was in the days of King David, and it is one of the world's most prosperous countries. In 1999, Israel had the highest per capita Gross Domestic Product of any nearby country, even though the surrounding countries have many oil resources.[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#339966][SIZE=2][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#808080][I][B]Here is Ezekiel 36:11[/B][/I][/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#339966][SIZE=2][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#808080][I]I will increase the number of men and animals upon you, and they will be fruitful and become numerous.

The lack of available water, including rain, is one reason why Israel had been a desolate, unproductive land during much of the past 2000 years. But, during the 1900s, when many Jews returned to their ancient homeland, they built a network of irrigation systems. And during the past century, more than 200 million trees have been planted in Israel.[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#339966][SIZE=2][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#808080][I][B]Here is Isaiah 41:18-20[/B][/I][/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#339966][SIZE=2][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#808080][I]I will make rivers flow on barren heights, and springs within the valleys.

This prophecy has been at least partially fulfilled, literally and symbolically. Today, the land of Israel, which had been barren for centuries, is a leading producer of agricultural products, exporting food to many countries. This prophecy also has been fulfilled symbolically with the worldwide spread of Christianity. Christianity, which began with Jesus in Israel, now has about 2 billion followers worldwide.[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#339966][SIZE=2][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#808080][I][B]Here is Isaiah 27:6[/B][/I][/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#339966][SIZE=2][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#808080][I]In days to come Jacob will take root, Israel will bud and blossom and fill all the world with fruit.[/I][/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#339966][SIZE=4][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#c0c0c0]6.

This prophecy has not yet been fulfilled. But, it is interesting to note that Jerusalem is, and has been for centuries, the world's most important religious site. Christians and Jews regard the city as the world's most important, and Christians and Jews comprise about one-third of the world's population. No other city in the world is a religious focal point to as many people.[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#339966][SIZE=2][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#808080][I][B]Here is Micah 4:1[/B][/I][/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#339966][SIZE=2][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#808080][I]In the last days the mountain of the Lord's temple will be established as chief among the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and peoples will stream to it.[/I][/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#339966][SIZE=4][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#c0c0c0]7.

Up until the time of Ezekiel, Egypt had been a world power for centuries, dominating many nations, including Israel. But for most of the past 2500 years, Egypt has been controlled by foreign powers, including the Romans, Ottomans and Europeans. Today, Egypt is an independent nation again. In 1948, 1967 and 1973, Egypt tried to dominate Israel but was unsuccessful each time, despite the fact that Egypt is 10 times larger than Israel. Since the time of Ezekiel, Egypt no longer rules over other nations.[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#339966][SIZE=2][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#808080][I][B]Here is Ezekiel 29:15[/B][/I][/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#339966][SIZE=2][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#808080][I]It will be the lowliest of kingdoms and will never again exalt itself above the other nations.

This prophecy has been fulfilled more than once. About 2600 years ago, Babylon destroyed Jerusalem and took many Jews as captives to Babylon. But many Jews later returned from Babylon. The Jews rebuilt Jerusalem but the city was destroyed about 1900 years ago by the Romans. The Romans killed more than 1 million Jews and forced many more into exile. The Jews did not have control of Jerusalem again until 1967 when the Jews recaptured the city during the Six Day War.[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#339966][SIZE=2][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#808080][I][B]Here is Zechariah 8:7-8[/B][/I][/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#339966][SIZE=2][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#808080][I]This is what the Lord Almighty says: "I will save my people from the countries of the east and the west.

This foreshadows what is currently happening in Israel. The Jews have been irrigating, cultivating and reconditioning the land during much of the 1900s. Many of the country's swamps, which had been infested with malaria, have been converted into farmland. And water from the Sea of Galilee has been channeled through portions of the deserts, allowing some of the deserts to bloom. Much work remains, but parts of Israel are blooming again. Although it was described as a wasteland as recently as the late 1800s, Israel is now a food source for many countries. And at least 200 million of trees have been planted there during the past century.[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#339966][SIZE=2][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#808080][I][B]Here is Isaiah 51:3[/B][/I][/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR] [COLOR=#339966][SIZE=2][FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#808080][I]The Lord will surely comfort Zion and will look with compassion on all her ruins; he will make her deserts like Eden, her wastelands like the garden of the Lord.
