Prophecy tends to be so vague that one can basically attribute any future event to what was supposedly prophesied in the past.

Heard the new temple was coming along nicely.
Never mind, that was an Office Depot in Tel Aviv.

The prophecies are so ambiguous that it's impossible to tell.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Don't forget that it doesn't count as fulfillment when people actively work to make the prophecy come true. If I walk into a restuarant and order boneless ribs with fries, do I become a prophet when the waiter brings exactly that in 20 minutes? Exactly.

Don't all nations have a specific day in their history where they sign a document stating they are now a country? Does 4 July 1776 ring a bell?

Israel being re-established is a good one.
God told them (because of their sin and rebellion) they would be taken captive and be led into all nations,
but also declared they would be brought back to their own land in the "Latter days".
They have come back to the land of Israel from all corners of the earth.
Even from India are some of the separated tribes coming - right now.
Israel (the name means "Power with God") has been removed for thousands of years and re-established.
Unique in all history.
Even their language is restored.
They are also in a state of unbelief (as prophesied).
