what would you think?
I'll put out the Gog/Magog war for example. Ezekiel 38-39. Many nations (Muslim ones by todays borders) come to strike Israel down, and are defeated horribly by many "natural" things such as torrential rains, hail, and burning sulfur.
What would be your thoughts, knowing that prophecy from the Bible was fulfilled? Would it change your outlook? Strengthen it?

It seems everyone is set that the prophecy I mentioned is generalized. But it's not. It's very specific as to who will be involved, and what will happen to them. That's not generalizing. As for people acting to make it happen, I'm sorry but I don't see the Muslim nations around Israel purposly setting themselves up with the idea in their heads "lets make Biblical prophecy come true and disprove the Qu'ran". Not gonna happen that way.
No one has done their reading or research it seems.

Thats like asking what if the tooth fairy came to your house and smacked you across the face with a toaster. If that happened I would have to believe it. But that will never happen.

No.
If the bible talked about the Russia/Israel war then that might persuade me.
The fact that there is war over two neighboring areas is no surprise. Tell me somewhere that there has not been war over in the last 500 years. The only place I can think of is Australia and New Zealand. And that is only because they were not able to mount a significant defense to their colonization.
Face it the biblical prophecies fall into two categories:
1) Prophecies that were written down after the events happened.
2) Prophecies that are so vague that they can be met at almost any time in history.
There is a third category, prophecies that failed, but ther is no need to go there for this discussion.

People have been saying that for generations with their own translation. That's the thing about prophecy, it can mean whatever you want it to. And you can pick any scripture you want to say whatever you want it to. As far as I know, the prophecy has already been fulfilled and we have been living in it's aftermath. O yeah, so if it happened in the future, I would be depressed about that because I believe in uniting the world in whatever faith they want to belong to and not judge people. That doesn't suite the God of the Bible where fathers are stoning their sons and Satan is everywhere and cities are being ravaged because of belonging to the wrong religion. Better to leave it alone. It won't happen anyway.

Imagine an experiment in which you gathered all the clocks and watches in your house. They all, with greater or lesser accuracy tell you the time. Now imagine that one of them runs down, or ceases to function.
Since all the functioning timepieces are some bit off, even if it is a microsecond, it is only the broken clock that can boast to being exactly correct twice a day.
Thus it is when one chooses from a large number of generalized primitive ramblings called "prophecies."

The problem with "prophecy" is that anyone can read what they want into anything.
