2. Specific modern day prophetic fulfillments
a. Israel became a nation
“And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria [all Jews were out of Syria by October 1994], and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush [Africa/Ethiopia], and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea” (Isaiah 11:10–11).

“Behold, I will bring them from the north country, [as the massive, ongoing Russian immigration] and gather them from the coasts of the earth, [Ethiopia is a coastal nation] and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: [Seven babies were born ‘in flight’ during the massive midnight airlift of Ethiopian Jews to Israel that occurred a few years ago] a great company shall return thither” (Jeremiah 31:8).

“Who hath heard such a thing? Who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? [How about May 14, 1948? The day Israel was made a nation by an act of the United Nations.] for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children” (Isaiah 66:8).

b. Prophesied description of man at this time
“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, [slaughtering their own babies through abortion perhaps? Engaging in homosexuality perhaps?] trucebreakers, false accusers incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God” (2 Timothy 3:1–4).
