What if Israel is nuked? Did God fail in protecting his chosen people?

Answer 1

Why don't we just try and bomb isreal and see if a magic hand would reach out from the clouds and stop the nukes?

Answer 2

God does not fail. But He keeps His convenent promises for which there are conditions and consequences.

The old testament covenant that he made with the Israelites was that as long as they are faithful to Him, he will protect them. But if they turn away to false gods, then he will give them over to their own destruction.

The fact that Israel has disobeyed God in the past is history. As a result of their disobedience, Israel was conquered and decimated by their enemies around 700BC and no nation of Israel existed for 2000 years until 1963.

However, it was also written that God will be merciful and after a period of time,Israel will return to the promised land. This was prophesied by the prophet Ezekiel 36:24 " I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land." Ezekiel lived circa 597BC

Will Israel be nuked? It is also prophesied that the last great war, Armageddon will be fought in Megiddo which is in Israel. Whether nukes will be used is anyone's guess. But from the sound of it I'd say this is likely.

So if Israel is nuked, can we say God has failed? No, because this is part of the plan in of the End Times the evil will at last be rid once and for all.

Answer 3

Chosen people?

The nation of Israel is no longer God's chosen people. Is this a new though to you?

Romans 2:28, 29
John 8:39

The natural state of Israel was cast of by God in 70 C.E. . Although individual Jews can benefit by the ransom sacrafice of Jesus (if they excercise faith), the nation as a whole no longer enjoys God's favor. The Christian Congregation is the "new nation" where God's spiritual temple can be found (1 Peter 2:5-10).

Answer 4

First, who is God's chosen people? Maybe he will nuke the people who have stolen the land. Israel want return to Israel until the times of the Gentiles are fullfilled. Then who are the people in Israel?

Answer 5

The Jews are no longer God's 'chosen' people, ever since the Good News was taken by the apostles to people OTHER than the Jews. This happened when the Roman, Cornelius, was told. He was the very first of the Gentiles [ non Jews] to be 'witnessed' to.
CORNELIUS

(Cor·ne´lius).

An army officer (centurion, KJ) in command of 100 soldiers of the Italian band. (See ARMY OFFICER.) Stationed at Caesarea, he had his own house. His Roman name suggests that he may have belonged to a noble family in the imperial city. He was “a devout man” who “made many gifts of mercy to the people and made supplication to God continually,” “a man righteous and fearing God and well reported by the whole nation of the Jews.” It was to this man that an angel appeared in a vision in the fall of 36 C.E., saying: “Your prayers and gifts of mercy have ascended as a remembrance before God.” The angel also told Cornelius to send to Joppa for Peter.—Ac 10:1-22.

When Peter arrived, Cornelius, in the presence of “his relatives and intimate friends,” said to the apostle: “We are all present before God to hear all the things you have been commanded by Jehovah to say.” (Ac 10:24, 33) “While Peter was yet speaking . . . the holy spirit fell upon all those hearing the word.” Thus this group of which Cornelius is named as the most notable became the first uncircumcised Gentiles or non-Jews to receive “the free gift of the holy spirit.” (Ac 10:44, 45) Water baptism immediately followed. Nothing more is known of the life and activity of Cornelius after this.

Why was the conversion of Cornelius a particularly noteworthy event?

Cornelius was not a proselyte member of the Jewish community as some contend, even though he was acquainted with the writings of the prophets, gave gifts of mercy to the Jews, feared God, prayed continually, and used the name Jehovah. The Scriptures prove conclusively that this army officer was an uncircumcised Gentile in the fullest sense. If Cornelius had been a proselyte, Peter would not have said it was unlawful for him, a Jew, to associate with this “man of another race,” in view of what was written in the Law concerning an alien resident. (Le 19:33, 34; Ac 10:28) If he had been a proselyte, the six other Jews with Peter would not have been “amazed” at seeing the holy spirit poured out “upon people of the nations.” (Ac 10:45; 11:12) If he had been a proselyte, why did “supporters of circumcision” contend with Peter over this matter?—Ac 11:2.

In reality, Cornelius was the firstfruits of the uncircumcised non-Jews to become a Christian, showing that by this time it was not necessary for Gentiles to become Jewish proselytes like the Ethiopian eunuch before being accepted into the Christian congregation. “For a certainty,” Peter exclaimed on that historic occasion, “I perceive that God is not partial, but in every nation the man that fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.” (Ac 10:34, 35) As Peter was the first to open up The Way to the Jews at Pentecost, so in this instance he was the first to bring good news of salvation to the uncircumcised Gentiles. James also agreed that it was “the first time” that God turned his attention to “the nations.”—Ac 15:7, 14.

Answer 6

Nope. God has a reason for everything He does or allows. One thing is for sure, He will not allow natural Israel to be extinguished. He has a call for His people in the end times, and nothing can stop the hand of God from preserving that nation.

Answer 7

There is not any "God" that created nukes. Nor is "God" controlling the people that would make the choice to go through with such efforts.

People are responsible for their own actions. I have to agree with some others..."Chosen people"?

Answer 8

Chosen people? Whats this shite about chosen people. though if there was a such thing as a god, it wouldn't surprise me. If you are religious, and I'm so ******' glad I'm not, aren't we all supposed to be his children? and if we are all his children, how can there be chosen ones? What the *** kind of psycho babble are you talking about? Doesn't surprise me though. That's all the bible is. Why do you think we named it the bible? It's short for babble. would you buy a book supposedly based on religion, called babble? Well some dumnass religious freak might...PRAISE GOD...ROFLMFAO

Answer 9

First of all, God doesn't fail at anything!!!!

Second, God helps those who help themselves. So it would seem that Israel has to take the steps to start defending & protecting itself.

I dont know all the little crooks & cranies about this situation, but the lesson here is to take care of yourself & 'be ye oh so ready'.

Answer 10

if israel was nuked it would only mean that israel had failed god . i am allah the king of ellohim , the creator of life and israel , if they do not believe in me as god and the muslims they are fighty dont believe i'm god i hope they are good shoot with a nuke and i hope they all die . as i realy am sick of inferdel saying they represent me ect.

Answer 11

Lets try and find out why don't we. Sounds like a fun little Holy Land Experiment. If there is a God, surely he won't allow the Holy Land to be destroyed. If he does, that kinda helps to disprove that theory doesn't it?
