Since the messages of the restoration of the Israel state given to the prophet Ezekiel are not just given once but are repeated several times for emphasis throughout the three chapters (36-39), and since they are very concrete and specific (as opposed to symbolic or figurative), this leaves us with no room for doubt that the Old Testament prophecies have been literally fullfilled in modern times, and are continuing to unfold before our eyes as acts of divine intervention in human history by the Lord himself. Since the fullfillment of this Israeli state restoration prophecy, the preterist approach which liberal Theologians and secular scholars tend to take towards Bible prophecy has lost much of its credibility.
