Isaiah 18 contains an interesting prophecy that the present day people of South Sudan, and many bible prophecy experts feel has just been fulfilled.
The prophecy tells of a future pruning of a nation divided by rivers. The Prophecy names this nation as Cush, (a nation that is also included in the future Gog/Magog war of Ezekiel). Cush was comprised of the present day nations of Ethiopia and Sudan, with the Nile river running right through the middle. (In fact the Nile river branches into the White Nile and Blue Nile in present day Sudan).
The prophecy indicates that a new banner will be raised after a major pruning and then gifts will be brought from this new land to the land of Zion, (Israel).
Well coincidentally, (or not), Sudan has now split in two, (pruned), with a mostly Muslim north and a Christian South. A new national flag, (banner), will be raised in South Sudan who will be recognized by Israel in short order as an independent nation. One suspects South Sudan will quickly become a close friend and ally of Israel
This is an absolutely amazing fulfilment of bible prophecy and yet again shows that we are indeed living in the last part of the last days.
(see video below for a very interesting look at this prophetic fulfilment)
All you people of the world, you who live on the earth, when a banner is raised on the mountains, you will see it, and when a trumpet sounds, you will hear it. Isaiah 18:3 NIV
At that time gifts will be brought to the LORD Almighty from a people tall and smooth-skinned,
from a people feared far and wide, an aggressive nation of strange speech, whose land is divided by rivers— the gifts will be brought to Mount Zion, the place of the Name of the LORD Almighty. Isaiah 18:7 NIV

From the articles:
Saturday will see the birth of the newest nation in AfricaAt the stroke of midnight Friday, South Sudan will become the world’s newest independent nation and across the country the South Sudanese are preparing to celebrate their first independence day. In January of 2011, South Sudan, which makes up around a third of the Sudan, held a referendum on whether to break away. The result was an overwhelming vote in favour of independence from the north.
______________________________________Israel is expected to recognize South Sudan as an independent state in the coming weeks, according to sources at the Foreign Ministry. South Sudan will declare its independence tomorrow at a ceremony attended by representatives from all over the world. Israel is not sending a representative to the ceremony, but plans to announce that it recognizes the new state immediately after the United States and European Union countries do so.
