    In Deuteronomy 28 it warns that Israel could go too far away from God and end up eating their children. Has this ever happened? Or is it a prophecy?

    It has definitely happened. Instances where it happened include:

    The northern kingdom of Israel suffered it during the latter end of its existence.

    2 Kings 6:24-30

    The southern kingdom of Judah suffered it during the Babylonian conquests that kept increasing the number of those being led into captivity. Ezekiel was a captivity prophet.

    Ezekiel 5:10

    Extra biblically, the Donner party is a famous case of famine driven canabalism.

    Revelation includes famine and death by hunger as two of the 4 horsemen. Revelation 6:5-8. It is likely horrors like canabalism will occur.
