Not too impressive of a fulfilled prophecy.
Everyone knew about the passages in the Bible, 1000's of people post WWII were actively working toward an Israeli state, there was zero god needed in the process.
Just more proof of the ultra-low bar Christians use for evidence for their beliefs have to clear.
Who needs Jews after a thousand years ?
I never give the bible any literal accuracy; knowing that I believe it was forged. So the whole prophecy is only translated to "Israel will be revived again".
So let's count the odds:
1-Muslim dominated region
2-Arab generated region
3-Secular world
Israel is an oasis in the center of desert badlands, universities and a nuclear program, next to the same people that made places like "Syria" active bloodbaths like Syria.
The odds are just too "woof" for a prophecy a thousand years old. Variables change.
