The obvious example in my lifetime was the collapse of the Soviet bloc and the recovery of freedom through all eastern Europe. Of course it did not mean the problems went away! Perhaps today we could see in the prophecy a hope for the restoration of the church in the West.
The other prophecy was the uniting of both Judah and Israel as one people, which really did not happen. A call for the unity of the Church? Maybe the chapter is a call to hold fast to prayer and hope.

Are there occasions when apparently the impossible happens?
YES! most definitely – humans can be amazing and if LOVE is at the centre and a strong will the seemingly impossible can happen – history has surely shown this. Reconciliations. How do we make LOVE the centre – most probably through reflection & prayer .
