THE APPLE OF GOD’S EYE

God chose Israel, the least of the nations to bring forth the Messiah. He called Abraham out of the land of Ur. Then sent him to Canaan. His twelve sons are the twelve tribes mentioned throughout scripture. He chose the tribe of Judah to bring forth the Messiah, Jesus Christ.

In Zechariah 2:8-9 there is a word for those that come against Israel. It says, “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 [Israel] toucheth the apple of his eye. 9 For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me.”

Again, in Zachariah 12:2-3 it says, “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.”

Then in Zechariah 14:2 it says, “For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken…”

Did you read it correctly? ALL nations will come against Israel, the apple of God’s eye. There is coming a day when the United States of America will also be one of those nations Those that come against Israel will be cut in pieces.

We are in dangerous times in this season with the war in Iran. If we turn our backs on “the apple of God’s eye” to make an agreement with Israel’s enemy, we must be prepared to see our nation destroyed. Israel will always be protected by God. Those that pray for the peace of Jerusalem shall be blessed. Those that come against Jerusalem will be destroyed.

Never think for one moment that Israel has been replaced by the church. God’s covenant with Israel is eternal, as well as the judgments that come when nations try to come against her. With God on their side, Israel will go through much affliction, but will never be forsaken by God.

Please pray for the leaders in our nation that they make the right decisions regarding Israel because Israel is still the “Apple of God’s eye.”
