Except the prophesies are either vague, or just didn't work out right. a big one is Israel becoming a country again, but the bible also says King David will rule that land. So now we're waiting until some guy named David becomes leader of Israel, and crowns himself king?
We're also waiting for Israel to contract to abou a quarter of its size. The biblical promised land is roughly congruent with the land ruled by the Hashemite dynasty, which centred on a small area between the Jerusalem hills and the edge of the Mediterranian littoral.
