"Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their own land, they defiled it by their own way and by their doings: their way was before me as the uncleanness of a removed woman. Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their idols wherewith they had polluted it: And I scattered them among the heathen, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings I judged them." Ezekiel 36:16-19 KJV

This prophecy was literally fullfilled in 70 AD when the state of Israel was invaded and destroyed by the Roman Empire. This resulted in the Israeli people being driven out of their own country and forced to live in foreign lands where they were often met with brutal persecution, contempt and scathing slander. Please note that the slander which the Jews would receive in the gentile lands was also prophecized several times in the same book (Chapters 36-39). As we know from history, the Jews would continue to be a wandering people among gentiles without a state of their own until the restoration of the state of Israel in 1948.

"And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, saith the Lord GOD, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes. For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land." Ezekiel 36:23-24 KJV

Israel was miraculously restored as a state in 1948 in accordance with prophetic scripture, followed by the resettlement of millions of Jews who returned from various non-Jewish nations including USA, the Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc states.

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.

In Ezekiel chapters 38 and 39, there are ten nations that make war on Israel and lose, with seven of them being in present-day Asia Minor, including Gog, Magog, Rosh, Meshech, Tubal, Gomer, and Togormah; the others are Persia (Iran), Put (Libya), and Cush (Sudan). Gog and Magog is King Gyges of Lydia according to the Assyrian records.<ref>https://www.academia.edu/22615289/Gog_and_Magog_Part_Four_The_Geography_i_False_Views</ref><ref>http://www.newscientificevidenceforgod.com/2012/02/debunking-russiawar-of-gog-and-magog.html</ref> But since the world geography was not well know at the time, it is a symbolic reference to al of Israel's enemies in the end times.<ref>A Second Look at the Second Coming: Sorting through the Speculations by T.
