Two more alleged unfulfilled prophecies.
::''Response 2'': This may be a prophecy for the future, considering the Nile and Euphrates are drying up.<ref>Walid Shoebat, The Nile and The Euphrates Are Drying Up: Both Rivers Are In The News And Both Rivers Are In The Bible (An Inevitable Famine Is Plaguing The Muslim World), [http://shoebat.com/2015/03/23/the-nile-and-the-euphrates-are-drying-up-both-rivers-are-in-the-news-and-both-rivers-are-in-the-bible-an-inevitable-famine-is-plaguing-the-muslim-world/ Shoebat.com], March 23, 2015.</ref>
 
== Isaiah 7:1-7 ==
 
:''Claim:'' Isaiah 7:1-7, which said that the king of Judah should go to battle, because he would not be harmed, was false, as is seen in 2 Chronicles 28:1-8.<ref>Biblical Prophecies, [http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Biblical_prophecies RationalWiki]</ref>
 
::''Response:'' 2 Chrnonicles 28:1-8, and the parallel passage in 2 Kings 16:5, do not say this. They both say that the battle against Judah failed. 2 Chronicles, which is more specific here, says that King Ahaz and others were captured and killed by Syria, but that the king of Syria was then killed by Israel. Isaiah does not say that king Ahaz wouldn't die, but rather that Judah would not be defeated.
 
== Isaiah 19:1-8 ==
 
:''Claim:'' Isaiah says that the rivers of pagan Egypt, which ceased to exist in the 4th century, would dry up. This never happened.<ref>Biblical Prophecies, [http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Biblical_prophecies RationalWiki]</ref>
 
::''Response:'' This would've been fulfilled during the Babylonian and Assyrian invasions of Egypt, a period with few historical records. The flow of the Nile has, in the past, after drought, diminished greatly.<ref>Henry M. Morris, The Henry Morris Study Bible, (Green Forest, AR: Master Books), p. 1030.</ref>
