Any comment W_Fortenberry?

I'll address the ones that weren't able to be written as hindsight.

B. Israel to be preserved

​

Isa 49:8-26, Eze, 6:8-10, Eze 11:14-21

​

This prophecy is fulfilled in that the Jewish people still exist today.

​

C. Israel to be restored

​

Isa 49:8-26, Eze 20:33-44, Eze 28:25-26, Eze 34:20-31, Eze 36, Eze 37, Eze 39:25-29

​

This prophecy did not begin to be fulfilled until the early 1900's and is still being fulfilled today.

​

D. Jerusalem to be enlarged

​

Jer 31:38-40, Zech 14:10

If you look at the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, and read what the settlers have stated, it would be quite clear that they're doing many of these things *because* the Torah prophecies them. It is one of the main driving forces between the settlement movement (that, and the subsidies). If there's ever a definition of self-fulfilling prophecy, that's it.It's also one of the biggest sources of conflict in the region When you take land to build a settlement, that means that someone else (who lived there before you) is losing it at the same time - generally quite unwillingly. The infrastructure to defend the settlements further excaberates the problem - "settler-only" roads which crisscross the West Bank and Gaza, making trips of a few miles take hours because of checkpoints; regular, invasive soldier patrols; etc.Concerning prophecies, what about Revelations (ya know, the only prophecy that's not more than a few lines that can be interpreted any way you want)? Sure, revelations is rather obtuse, but one thing is clear: it's about the end of the world. ------------------
