I guess you need that for some reason.
Amos 9:14-15

Israel was "restored" 63 years ago. And still we wait.
Ezekiel 37:10-14

50% about Israel's restoration, 50% about eternal life. And if you're talking about the nation of Israel, let's not forget that there are more Jews in the US than there are in Israel. So there's that, too. Israel doesn't even have 1/2 of the world's Jewish population.
Isaiah 66:7-8

See? That's vague. Even back then, it was well-known that a nation could not be founded without a conflict to bring it about.
Ezekiel 37:21-22

the fact that American Jews outnumber Israeli Jews contradicts 37:22, and 37:23 is not fulfilled. Jews are still defiling themselves with idols and vile images. God has not saved them from "sinful backsliding."
Jeremiah 16:14-15

God still hasn't even brought half of the Jews back to Israel.
Ezekiel 4:3-6

so when someone holds Jerusalem under seige for 14 months, that'll be a sign of something? Now, is that the Jerusalem that existed when it was written, or is it a modern day Jerusalem? And is it a literal seige, where nothing is allowed in or out for over a year? Because that's just not going to happen. You can count that one out.
Ezekiel 34:13

again, they're still in other countries. And besides, Israel isn't purely a Jewish state. 1/6 of the population is still Muslim, and only 3/4 of the population is Jewish. So there's that...
Jeremiah 31:10

his flock is still scattered throughout the world. Must be a terrible shepherd.
Leviticus 26:3, 7-8

This has nothing to do with end times prophecies as far as I'm aware, but let's take a look at one of the verses you chose to cut out. Verse 6: "I will grant peace in the land, and you will lie down and no one will make you afraid. I will remove wild beasts from the land, and the sword will not pass through your country." If you're saying that this is an End Times prophecy, then let's face it. The End Times is a long way off. There is no peace in the middle east. There are plenty of Jews that are afraid because of the Israeli government's actions in the West Bank. But it's all right, because that government is in power because God wills it, right (the same as every other governing body throughout history, Rom 13:1)? So then God desires continued unrest and continued terror attacks against Israelis.
Deuteronomy 30:3-5

if you accept that Christianity is true (I assume you do) then you believe that Jesus is God, and accepting Jesus as the Son of God and as your own savior etc etc is crucial. So, tell me this. How does any of Deut 30:3-5 apply to modern Israel when the Jewish population there does not meet the prerequisite mentioned in Deut 30:2, of obeying God with all their heart? They don't even acknowledge that Jesus is God.
Edit: are these even supposed to be End Times prophecies, or just Zionist prophecies?
