Presently, there exists a flurry of telltale signs that indicate the FINAL BIBLICAL PROPHECIES are about to find their fulfillment. This article covers what seems to be the top three.

#1:The Rebirth of Israel as a Nation
Most prophecy experts that believe these are the last days teach the world hourglass made its final turn toward the end of days, on May 14, 1948, when Israel was rebirthed as a nation. A few of the prophecies that were fulfilled are provided below. Some of these passages correlate the latter years with the end of the Jewish Diaspora. ”
…that the Lord your God will bring you (the Jews) back from captivity, and have compassion on you, and gather you again from all the nations where the Lord your God has scattered you.” (Deuteronomy 30:3, NKJV; emphasis added) “He will set up a banner for the nations, And will assemble the outcasts of Israel, And gather together the dispersed of Judah From the four corners of the earth.” (Isaiah 11:12, NKJV) “For I, (the LORD), will take you, (the Jews), from among the nations, gather you out of all countries, and bring you into your own land, (of historic Israel).”
(Ezekiel 36:24, NKJV; emphasis added) “After many days you, (a coalition of invaders), will be visited. In the latter years, you will come into the land of those brought back from the sword and gathered from many people on the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate; they, (the Jews) were brought out of the nations, and now all of them dwell safely.” (Ezek. 38:7, NKJV; emphasis added)
“You will come up against My people Israel like a cloud, to cover the land. It will be in the latter days that I will bring you against My land, so that the nations may know Me, when I am hallowed in you, O Gog, before their eyes.” (Ezek. 38:16) These are just a few of the prophecies that were either fulfilled entirely or at least partially when Israel was reinstated as a nation. A few others are found in Isaiah 66:18, Ezekiel 37:21, Jeremiah 29:14, and elsewhere.
The regathering of the Jews into their historic homeland was unprecedented when you consider that one, it was prophesied, and two, no ethnic group had ever survived through a diaspora as long as the Jewish people. Some estimates are that 400 years stood as the historical record for an ethnic people to return from exile into their homeland. The Jewish people shattered this record by over 1478 years. The Jewish Diaspora officially began in 70 A.D. when the Roman Empire destroyed Jerusalem and the Second Jewish Temple and lasted for 1878 years until Israel was rebirthed as a nation on May 14, 1948.
