Prophesies related to the Israelites |
|
|
1. The people of Israel will never be destroyed (Leviticus 26:44) |
Many have tried, but Israel is the only people in history to maintain their identity without a nation for over 1900 years. |
|
2. The land that was desolate will become beautiful (Ezekiel 36:33,34,35) |
Mark Twain in Innocents Abroad said "A desolate country whose soil is rich enough, but is given over wholly to weeds…hardly a tree or shrub anywhere", yet today it is considered a beautiful nation |
|
3. The Israelites will be scattered throughout the world, stop worshipping God, but retain their identity (Deuteronomy 28:64) |
The Northern Kingdom was conquered by the Assyrians in 722 BC, later the Southern Kingdom was conquered by the Babylonians in 586 BC and finally in 70 AD Jerusalem was destroyed by the Romans. They are still scattered. |
