"For thus says the Lord GOD: Because you have clapped your hands and stamped your feet and rejoiced with all the malice within your soul against the land of Israel, therefore, behold, I have stretched out my hand against you, and will hand you over as plunder to the nations. And I will cut you off from the peoples and will make you perish out of the countries; I will destroy you. Then you will know that I am the LORD." -- Ezekiel 25:6-7

Even in times of rebuke and chastening God cares for His people Israel. The prophets speak of a day when Messiah Jesus will sit on David's throne and reign. Israel will have a new heart and worship in Jerusalem for a thousand years. God is not finished with His people.

With the above future in mind, the Lord will not tolerate other nations abusing and mistreating Israel, the apple of His eye. This whole chapter reinforces the loving and protective care He has for His people. We would be wise to love Israel too and pray for the peace of Jerusalem. 

In addition my friend, may we find assurance in these passages concerning Gods faithfulness to all His redeemed? He, who began a good work in you, will most certainly bring it to completion. (Philippians 1:6)
