What “The Tree and Its Fruit” Reveals About Real Faith

God’s Promise of Protection Over Israel in the Bible

In a time when the world seems constantly shifting and headlines often paint a grim picture for Israel, one truth remains unwavering: God’s divine promise to protect His chosen nation. 

The Bible is not silent about Israel’s future—it declares it boldly. From the ancient prophets to the psalms of David, Scripture echoes with assurance that Israel, the apple of God’s eye, is not forgotten and never will be.

Take Zechariah 2:8, for example: “For whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye.” That’s not poetic flair—it’s a direct statement of how intimately God identifies with Israel. To strike Israel is to strike at the very heart of God’s care.

In Deuteronomy 32:11-12, we see God compared to an eagle that shelters its young. He alone led Israel, no foreign god involved. That same protection is at work today. Whether during a surprise missile attack or amidst geopolitical tension, God’s hand remains steadfast.

Flashback to the Six-Day War in 1967—a conflict where Israel was drastically outnumbered, yet emerged victorious in mere days. Was that pure military strategy? Perhaps in part, but many point to Exodus 14:14, where it says: “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” Israel’s survival is no coincidence; it’s covenant.

And that covenant is ongoing. Jeremiah 31:35-36 affirms that as long as the sun, moon, and stars remain, so will Israel. Empires have fallen. Enemies have risen and disappeared. But Israel? Still here.

This is not to ignore the realities of conflict. From Hamas in Gaza to Hezbollah in Lebanon, Israel faces threats from all sides. Yet Psalm 121:4-5 reminds us: “He who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord watches over you.” That’s 24/7 divine coverage.

Weapons may be formed, but they will not prevail (Isaiah 54:17). Modern technology like the Iron Dome might intercept rockets, but it is ultimately God who shields the nation from destruction. Strategic plans of terror are undone again and again—not by chance, but by the hand of God.

Psalm 122:6 urges us to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. It is the divine outcome of God’s intervention and justice.

So what’s Israel’s hope? The same hope David clung to in Psalm 39:7: “My hope is in you.” And it’s a hope grounded not in worldly alliances, but in eternal assurance.

In the face of war, terror, and uncertainty, Israel’s future is not fragile. It is firm—because it is God-secured.

God bless Israel. May His promises stand forever.
