Very impressive, Drum.
BUT ...
So God preserved all the Jews who died in German concentration camps?
The re-establishment of Israel appears over and over, but it is a self-fulfilling prophecy. If I prophesized that my wife would make me a cup of tea, and she heard this and promptly did so, am I a prophet? The Zionists have been battling to fulfil this prophecy for ages. That they finally succeeded does not prove that prophecy was inspired.
Many prophecies about Jesus cannot be trusted, because the gospel writers may have adapted the 'facts' to fit the prophecies, just to 'prove' that their Jesus was the predicted messiah.
Of course, each prophet would have known all the prophecies of the previous prophets. So many of these cannot be listed as independent cases, but just as repetition.
So we cannot take this list of fulfilled prophecies at face value. They need further evaluation.
Mike.
