Fulfilled Prophecy for Israel

Many OT prophecies also predicted how Israel will enter into the prophecies concerning the Messiah.

1. Isaiah 49:13-17 Prophecy written: Between 701-681 BC.
Prophecy fulfilled: Throughout history. God will never forget the Children of Israel.
2. Leviticus 26:44
Prophecy written: As early as 1400 BC.
Prophecy fulfilled: Throughout history. Israel will never be completely destroyed.
3. Jeremiah 32:36-37
Prophecy written: Sometime between 626-586 BC.
Prophecy fulfilled: 536 BC. The Jews would survive Babylonian captivity and return home.
4. Jeremiah 25:11-12 Prophecy written: Sometime between 626-586 BC. Prophecy fulfilled: 539
BC. Babylon would rule over Israel for exactly 70 years.
5. Matthew 24:1-2 Prophecy written: During the first century Prophecy fulfilled: 70 AD. Jesus
predicted that the temple would be totally destroyed. This was to happen as a consequence for
rejecting the Messiah.
6. Luke 21:24 Prophecy written: During the first century Prophecy fulfilled: 70 AD. Jesus predicted
that the Jews would be exiled.
7. Micah 3:11-12 Prophecy written: Sometime between 750-686 BC. Prophecy fulfilled: 135 AD.
Zion would be “plowed like a field.” According to a text in the Gemara - a collection of ancient
Jewish writings - the Romans ran a plow over Zion on the 9th day of the Jewish month of Ab.
The Gemara said that Turnus Rufus, a Roman officer, plowed the area of the Temple. This
prophecy was fulfilled in literal detail.
8. Deuteronomy 28:49-52 Prophecy written: As early as 1400 BC. Prophecy fulfilled: 70 AD. The
Bible foreshadowed Rome’s destruction of Israel. An ancient historian named Cassius Dio
claimed that the Roman army had razed to the ground 985 villages throughout Israel. If the
figure is to be believed, then it might be including settlements, along with cities and towns,
throughout the land. The writings of Cassius Dio, along with those from Josephus, another first-
century historian, indicate that the Roman army's destruction of Israel was very complete.
9. There are literally hundreds of more prophecies that were made, some fulfilled and some yet to
be fulfilled about Israel. It is clear, however, that focusing on Israel is the central key to
understanding unfulfilled prophecy. For the balance of this course, we will explore these
prophecies and see how current events lead us to believe that their fulfillment is imminent.

Prophecies in our Future that have not been fulfilled.

There are some major prophecies in God’s Word that have not come to pass. They are yet to be
fulfilled. And just as such as all the prophecies concerning the coming of Messiah were fulfilled in the
