Israel’s army would be powerful

Bible passage: Leviticus 26:3, 7-8
Written: perhaps around 1400 BC
Fulfilled: 1948-49, 1967, etc.
In Leviticus 26:3, 7-8, the Bible says that the army of Israel would have a supernatural power to prevail during times of conflict, if the people are obedient to the Lord. This Bible passage says that 5 people would be able to chase away 100 people, and that 100 would be able to chase away 10,000. Is there any proof to this incredible claim? Judge for yourself:

Example 1: Within hours of Israel's declaration of independence in 1948, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, and Lebanon invaded Israel. The combined population of those countries was at least 20 million at that time. Israel had fewer than 1 million Jews. Even so, the Jews won the war and expanded the size of Israel by 50 percent.

Example 2: During the War of 1967, Israel attacked the air force bases of the surrounding countries and took control of Jerusalem for the first time in about 2000 years. They also seized additional territory. That war lasted a mere 6 days.

Example 3: On Oct. 6, 1973, Israel was attacked by Egypt and Syria. Other countries later joined the attack. But the Jews were able to push back the attacking armies and occupy land outside of Israel's borders.

Leviticus 26:3, 7-8
"If you follow my decrees and are careful to obey my commands, … You will pursue your enemies, and they will fall by the sword before you. Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the sword before you."

I was just wondering:

If the question at hand is meant to be a discussion based within the confines of a religious belief, why even bother answering the question, let alone with something as far from the objective of the discussion such as: "there is no God", "you need to wake up" or "your beliefs are stupid/made up/ fake/ etc"?

Do you feel the need to "anti-evangelize" or something? Especially since the topic is in the correct category and may not be intended for that "conversion" factor you so dread- some questions are not aimed at forcing you to believe, so why not just leave them be?

What do you think of the fact that muslims have, in fact, been speaking out loudly and are organizing, getting together, to do this? What do you think of this site that was made by and for muslims who condemn terror?

I'll give you a big cigar if you can guess who I am describing

Who is this man?

He...
-is God made flesh, the savior and 'Son of God'
-His father is God and his mother is a mortal human virgin
-is born in a cave or humble cowshed on 25 December before three shepherds
-offers his followers the chance to be born again through baptism
-miraculously turns water into wine at a marriage ceremony
-rides triumphantly into town on a donkey while people wave palm leaves to honor him
-dies on Easter as a sacrifice for the sins of the world
-After his death he descends to hell, then on the third day he rises from the dead and ascends to heaven in glory
-His followers await his return as the judge during the Last Days
-His death and resurrection are celebrated by a ritual meal of bread and wine which symbolize his body and blood for holy communion with god
- Is depicted in ancient art works with a bright, usually golden halo around his head, often in his mothers arms.

This SHOULD be easy. is it?

"I discovered that there were too many contradictions in Judaism and
at the same time I realised that Islam is the religion of truth and

But has merely rearranged, enhanced...ect, what God has already created?

Correct me if I'm wrong, what has man created that was not made from something that already existed?

A question to Jewish & Christian.

Do you think that Jesus's bloodline, the bloodline of David, stems back to Egypt, before the exodus?

Ecclesiastes 11:1 says, "Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thy shalt find it after many days." What this says is that what we give we will get in return. And we know that what we give we get "good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over." Do not give so that you can get, give so that those that surround us may see your good deeds, and glorify your Father in heaven. It doesn't have to be something huge in measure. Even the simplest act of Christian kindness is smiled upon by the Father. So go out tomorrow and give of yourselves so that God may be glorified. What can you do, or what do you do to bring God glory? God bless you my friends.

It would also be nice if there were things you could do to improve your suspension quotient... sort of how DMV lets you remove points on your license by taking a driver safety course.

I have seen this question asked under politics and am wanting some feedback on this question from Christians.
Biblical references/examples are a plus.
