Prophecy can be described as foretelling an event before it happens. In the Bible, there are hundreds of detailed prophecies from the Old Testament to the New Testament. For example, there are about 60 different prophecies in regard to Jesus Christ. Here is a detailed look at some of the Bible prophecies fulfilled.
Israel will prevail over her enemies
In the book of Isaiah, the Lord God said the He would help the Israelites during times of trouble and conflict with the enemies. Isaiah said this at a time when the Israelites came under intense attack from the Assyrian Empire. The Bible explains that Israel lost its independence because of false religions. However, after re-establishing itself in 1948, Israel has come under attack from much bigger nations and has prevailed in each of those attacks.
The ruins of Israel would be rebuilt
In the book of Amos, it was prophesized that God would restore the land of David to Israelites. Israel was conquered and destroyed by the Babylonians, Romans and the Assyrians. For the last 2000 years, the land has been in ruins. However, the last 100 years have seen many Jews returning home and they have been rebuilding Israel’s ancient cities since then. Also, the Jews have been using advanced farming technologies to turn their barren fields into productive farms. Israel today is a source of food for many countries.
Jerusalem would become the most important religious city in the world
In the book of Micah, the prophet said that the city of Jerusalem would become the religious center of the world. Even though this prophecy has not been fully fulfilled, it is important to note that Jerusalem has been the most important religious city in the world for centuries.
Egypt would never again rule over other nations
In Ezekiel, the prophet says that even though Egypt would recover from desolation, it would never rule over other nations. Up until the time of Ezekiel, Egypt was a super power for centuries, ruling over many nations, including Israel. But for close to 2500 years now, Egypt has been ruled by other nations and has never regained its full independence since then. Egypt has unsuccessfully tried to dominate Israel three times in the recent past.
The return of Jews to Jerusalem
In Zechariah, it was prophesized that God would bring the Jews back from the west and the east to their homeland, and that they will live in the city of Jerusalem again. This has been fulfilled more than once. For example, after the Romans killed many Jews, a great number were forced into exile and lost control of the city until they recaptured it in 1967.
