God's Promise of Protection

Three times in the year shall all your males appear before the LORD God, the God of Israel. For I will cast out nations before you and enlarge your borders; no one shall covet your land, when you go up to appear before the LORD your God three times in the year. (Exodus 34:23-24 ESV)

Some miracles of God went unnoticed because they were not spectacular.

All the males of Israel has to go to Jerusalem three times a year. Yet we noted in history as well as in the Bible that during these period, Israel was not attacked by any foreign country. God had kept His promise to Israel.

Thomas Horne once noted that "it is a well known fact, that the Jews constantly attended the ceremonies without any fear of danger, and that their most vigilant enemies never invaded them or injured them during these sacred seasons" (Introduction to the Critical Study and Knowledge of the Holy Scriptures, Philadelphia: J. Whetham & Son, 1841, II, p. 121). He contended that this constituted a "manifest proof of the divine origin of their religion."

Who is like our God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, the true and living God?
