| Prediction | Prophetic Scripture | Fulfillment |
| The Return of Israel to the Land | Isaiah 11:11 (written between 740 - 680 B.C.) predicted that Israel would be regathered as a nation | On May 14th, 1948, Israel became a nation again, over 1800 years after being dispersed from their homeland |
| The Revelation that the World is Spherical in Shape | Isaiah 40:22 revealed that the World is circular in nature | Ferdinand Magellan's voyage between 1519 - 1522 proved that the Earth was round, long after God's Word had revealed it, first |
| Cyrus, King of Persia | Isaiah 44:28 - 45:1 identified King Cyrus by name and predicted that he would rebuild the Jerusalem Temple | In 536 B.C., Cyrus decreed Israel's return from exile and the rebuilding of the Jerusalam Temple |
| The Succession of Great World Kingdoms | Daniel 2:37-42 (written around 600 B.C.) predicted the world empires of Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome | The kingdoms existed just as Deniel had predicted: Babylon Empire (605 - 539 B.C.) Medo-Persia (539 - 331 B.C.) Greece (336 - 168 B.C.) Rome (44 B.C. - A.D. 476) |
| The Time of the Coming of Jesus Christ | Daniel 9:25 predicted that 483 years after the decree was given to re-build Jesusalem, the Messiah would come | On April 6th, A.D. 32, Jesus rode as a King on a donkey into Jerusalem, 483 years after Artaxerxes ordered Nehemiah "to restore and re-build Jerusalem" in 445 B.C. (Nehemiah Chapter 2:1 - 11) |
| The Destruction of Tyre | Ezekiel 26:3 - 14 (written between 593 - 571 B.C.) predicted the destruction of the city of Tyre, prophesying that it would become a place to spread fishing nets | Tyre was partially destroyed by King Nebuchadnezzar in 573 B.C. Then it was completely destroyed by Alexander the Great in 332 B.C.. Today, it is used as a place "to spread fishing nets" |
| The Closing of the Golden Gate | Ezekiel 44:2 predicted that the Eastern Gate of Jerusalem through which the Messiah, Jesus, entered on Palm Sunday, would be closed one day and not re-opened until He returns | In A.D. 1543 Sultan Suleiman, The Magnificent, closed the gate and walled it up as Ezekiel predicted. It remains closed to this day |
