Why God Did Not Protect Modern Israel

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)

God had promised that if all Israel were to appear before God three times a year in Jerusalem, no one will attack them during this period. History has proven that Israel was not attacked as God had promised. It was an unnoticed miracle because it looked so natural.

But for modern Israel, things changed. In 1973, Israel was attacked by Egypt and Syria during Yom Kippur. In 2002, there was a suicide bomber killed himself and 25 Israelis during Passover. Why has God fail to keep His promise to protect Israel in modern times?

Some answers were offered:

1. God does not exist and those history were myths;
2. Modern Israel is not true Israel, the true Israel is the Church.

Jesus told her, "Believe Me, woman, an hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. You Samaritans worship what you do not know. We worship what we do know, because salvation is from the Jews. But an hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth. Yes, the Father wants such people to worship Him. God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." (John 4:21-24 HCSB)
