A War on Israel Is a War on God — Scriptural Support
1. Zechariah 2:8
“For thus said the Lord of hosts, after his glory sent me to the nations who plundered you, for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye.”
Attacking Israel is like poking God in the eye. That’s not metaphorical—it shows how personally God takes Israel’s suffering.

2. Genesis 12:3
“I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
This promise to Abraham and his descendants is still in effect (Romans 11:28–29). To curse Israel is to invite God’s judgment.
⸻
3. Psalm 83:1–5
“They lay crafty plans against your people… They say, ‘Come, let us wipe them out as a nation.’”
The psalm presents anti-Israel coalitions as enemies of God, not just enemies of Israel.
⸻
4. Zechariah 12:3
“I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples. All who lift it will surely hurt themselves.”
Nations that try to harm Jerusalem will injure themselves because God Himself defends it.
⸻
5. Joel 3:2
“I will gather all the nations… and I will enter into judgment with them there, on behalf of my people and my heritage Israel, because they have scattered them among the nations and have divided up my land.”
God judges nations for how they treat His people and His land. Attacking Israel triggers divine retribution.
⸻
6. Isaiah 49:25–26
“I will contend with those who contend with you… All flesh shall know that I am the Lord your Savior.”
God identifies with Israel so closely that He fights those who fight them.
⸻
7. Ezekiel 38:18–19
“But on that day, the day that Gog shall come against the land of Israel… my wrath will be roused in my anger.”
In the end times, God personally unleashes wrath on invaders of Israel.

Spiritual Takeaway:
To lift a sword against Israel is to lift a sword against the God who called them, defends them, and will restore them.
The God of Israel is not neutral. His covenant is eternal (Jeremiah 31:35–36), and His fury burns against all who rise up against His chosen people.
