How do you know there is no natural explanation (including ones we haven't thought of yet)?
In terms of speculating on explanations we haven't thought of, isn't that like saying, "what if there is a proof of God's existence that we haven't thought of?"

It was destroyed a second time by the Romans 2000 years ago and the Jews were dispersed to the four corners of the earth. For all this time, the nation of Israel ceased to exist. Then in 1948 God fulfilled his promise to regather the Jews and to restore their nation.
So, you don't even consider the possibility of retcon?
I said something about gobbledigock not being sufficient. I also seem to have asked you about our time.
Do you think the passage is gobbledigock? It thought it was pretty straightforward. Two dispersions of the nation of Israel and two regatherings. Both historically documented.
Concerning prophesies in our time. Israel is now a nation, in our time.
