Is there any Bible scriptures to support the theory that nations who persecute Israel will be punished by God?

Question

I know I should have written are instead of is but I didn't have enough room.

Answer 1

num. 24:9; zech 12:3; zech 14:3

Answer 2

Yes, God will bless those who bless His people and curse those who curse His people. Israel is God's chosen people. Also Matthew chapter 25 last part where He judges the nations.

Answer 3

And every nation which shall war against thee, O house of Israel, shall be turned one against another, and they shall fall into the pit which they digged to ensnare the people of the Lord. And all that fight against Zion shall be destroyed, and that great w***e, who hath perverted the right ways of the Lord, yea, that great and abominable church, shall tumble to the dust and great shall be the fall of it.

Answer 4

God will bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse Israel.

Answer 5

The first chapter in Joel warns against dividing the land of Israel.

Answer 6

Great question.

In the old testament, God repeatedly states that He will provide protection for Israel and the Jewish people, as long as they follow His word. He does hold to his word, but does temperarily allow the Israel nation to be taken over by other nations, as described in the books of Kings and Chronicles.

In the new testament, it actually descrbes Rome taking over the nation, and destroying the temple (which did actually happen several years after it was written).

God also clearly indicates that the land of Israel/Jerusalem will always exist, and ond day He will destroy the earth, and replace it with a new one. It will be the new Jerusalem, and there will be a new temple. That is where people will exist for the rest of eternity. Heaven is only temperary, we actually will be there for a while, but only until the whole end is finished, and the new earth is established. That is in revelation.

I have also heard that in the end times, there is going to be a big war or something against Jerusalem, but supernaturally it is stopped. I believe it is in revelation as well, but I don't know the specific verse.

Answer 7

Ezekiel 38 and 39.  These chapters even give the names of the nations who come against Israel.

Answer 8

He will bless those that bless and curse those that curse.
