 4. Trees would flourish again in a desolate Israel Bible passage: Isaiah 41:18-20 Written: perhaps between 701-681 BC Fulfilled: late 1900s In Isaiah 41:18-20, the prophet's talk of a future restoration of Israel coincides with an occurrence in modern Israel - the construction of a vast irrigation system to improve farming. 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. - Copyright 100prophecies.org Isaiah 41:18-20 I will make rivers flow on barren heights, and springs within the valleys. I will turn the desert into pools of water, and the parched ground into springs. I will put in the desert the cedar and the acacia, the myrtle and the olive. I will set pines in the wasteland, the fir and the cypress together, so that people may see and know, may consider and understand, that the hand of the Lord has done this, that the Holy One of Israel has created it. | |

 6. Jerusalem would become the world's most important religious site Bible passage: Micah 4:1 Written: sometime between 750-686 BC Fulfilled: Partially in modern times In Micah 4:1, the prophet said that the Temple mount in Jerusalem would become the focal point of the world. Various Christian scholars regard this as a prophecy that is to be fulfilled in the future. But it is interesting to note that Jerusalem is, and has been for centuries, the world's most important religious site. Christians and Jews have always regarded the city as important. Followers of Islam later adopted Jerusalem as an important city in their beliefs. No other city in the world is a religious focal point to as many people. - Copyright 100prophecies.org Micah 4:1 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. Here's another one just for good measure: 7. Egypt would never again rule over nations Bible passage: Ezekiel 29:15 Written: between 593-571 BC Fulfilled: 1967, etc. In Ezekiel 29:15, the prophet says that Egypt would recover from a desolation (perhaps Babylon's attack about 2600 years ago), but that it would never again rule over other nations. 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. Egypt today, in many respects, is an impressive nation. But since the time of Ezekiel, it no longer rules over other nations. - Copyright 100prophecies.org Ezekiel 29:15 … I will make it so weak that it will never again rule over the nations. So, how can you explain why Egypt hasn't been able to do anything? | ||

  Okay so answer this. Why did Gawd have to wait for man to develop modern irrigation techniques to make Israel bountiful? I hear he can make it rain allot. also why did the trees have to be planted? couldn't god make them out of dirt? I am pretty sure that he made them before photosynthesis was even available. so he had to wait for men to plant trees? doesn't sound very Gawdly to me. its almost like he had nothing to do with it and men did all the work. | ||
