After leading the ancient Israelites out of Egypt to the border of the land God had promised to Abraham and his descendants, Moses prophesied that their new nation would eventually be conquered, not once, but twice. He predicted that the Jewish people would be carried off as slaves each time, first by the Babylonians, and then by a world kingdom, which we now know as Rome. According to Moses and affirmed by Jesus, this second conqueror would take the captives to Egypt in ships, where they would be sold or given away as slaves, and scattered to various parts of the world.
These predictions were fulfilled precisely. The first conquest took place in 607 BC and the second, in AD 70. Further details were predicted by later prophets including Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Hosea. These prophets foretold that the Jews would remain scattered throughout the entire world for many generations, but without becoming assimilated by other nations and cultures, and that the Jews would one day return to the land of Israel to reestablish their nation (see Deuteronomy 29; Isaiah 11:11–13; Jeremiah 25:11; Hosea 3:4–5, 6:1–2, Luke 21:23–24). This prophetic message sweeps across 3,500 years of history to its fulfillment—in the twentieth century AD.
Probability of chance fulfillment = 1 in 10 to the 20th power.
