Some Evidences Of The Fulfilment Of Prophecy

(No. 2)

Deut. 28:68 gives us a marvelous prediction regarding the Jews:"And the Lord shall bring these (the Jews) into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee. Thou shalt see it no more again; and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you." Was this ever fulfilled? Were the Jews ever taken by ships into Egypt, and there sold as slaves with no one to purchase them? Yes.

Josephus and Diodorus both tell us that when Titus took Jerusalem (70 A.D.) all the Jews over seventeen years old, both men and women, were sent by ships into Egypt to labor in the mines. There they were actually sold as slaves, but the slave-market was so glutted that none would buy; exactly as Moses predicted 1400 years before. How did Moses know this would happen fully 1400 years before it came to pass?
