Zechariah 2:8
King James Version
8 For thus saith the Lord of hosts;
After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations
which spoiled you:
for he that toucheth you
toucheth the apple of his eye.
If God loves Israel so much, considering the nation the "apple of his eye", what happens to those who try to destroy His "peculiar people"?
As always, Scripture -- the WORD of GOD -- has the LAST WORD:
Genesis 12:3
King James Version
3 And I will bless them that bless thee,
and curse him that curseth thee:
and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
Exodus 14:14
King James Version
14 The Lord shall fight for you,
and ye shall hold your peace.
Deuteronomy 28:7
King James Version
7 The Lord shall cause thine enemies
that rise up against thee
to be smitten before thy face:
they shall come out against thee one way,
and flee before thee seven ways.
Joshua 1:5
King James Version
5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee
all the days of thy life:
as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee:
I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
Isaiah 41:11-12
King James Version
11 Behold,
all they that were incensed against thee
shall be ashamed and confounded:
they shall be as nothing;
and they that strive with thee
shall perish.
12 Thou shalt seek them,
and shalt not find them,
even them that contended with thee:
they that war against thee shall be as nothing,
and as a thing of nought.
Isaiah 43:14
King James Version
14 Thus saith the Lord,
your redeemer,
the Holy One of Israel;
For your sake I have sent to Babylon,
and have brought down all their nobles,
and the Chaldeans,
whose cry is in the ships.
Isaiah 54:17
King James Version
17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper;
and every tongue that shall rise against thee
in judgment thou shalt condemn.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,
and their righteousness is of me,
saith the Lord.
Isaiah 60:12
King James Version
12 For the nation and kingdom
that will not serve thee shall perish;
yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted.
Ezekiel 38:18-23
King James Version
18 And it shall come to pass at the same time
when Gog shall come against the land of Israel,
saith the Lord God,
that my fury shall come up in my face.
19 For in my jealousy
and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken,
Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking
in the land of Israel;
20 So that the fishes of the sea,
and the fowls of the heaven,
and the beasts of the field,
and all creeping things that creep upon the earth,
and all the men that are upon the face of the earth,
shall shake at my presence,
and the mountains shall be thrown down,
and the steep places shall fall,
and every wall shall fall to the ground.
21 And I will call for a sword against him
throughout all my mountains,
saith the Lord God:
every man's sword shall be against his brother.
22 And I will plead against him
with pestilence and with blood;
and I will rain upon him,
and upon his bands,
and upon the many people that are with him,
an overflowing rain,
and great hailstones,
fire,
and brimstone.
23 Thus will I magnify myself,
and sanctify myself;
and I will be known in the eyes of many nations,
and they shall know that I am the Lord.
Zechariah 12:2-3
King James Version
2 Behold,
I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling
unto all the people round about,
when they shall be in the siege
both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem
a burdensome stone for all people:
all that burden themselves with it
shall be cut in pieces,
though all the people of the earth
be gathered together against it.
Zechariah 12:9
King James Version
9 And it shall come to pass in that day,
that I will seek to destroy all the nations
that come against Jerusalem.
