Zac 2:8 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.
The apple of an eye is a very delicate area. Very sensitive and a lot of care is needed to guard it from any external harm. God equates us with this delicate part of His eye. You can imagine the creator of universe assuring us of his divine protection. No one can contend with great God of the universe as far as our protection is concerned.
Israel is very precious to God and aiming a blow at her is like aiming a blow at God Himself . God says whoever touches you touches the apple of His eye. Believers are precious to God. His love for us continues to manifest in the New Testament. He loved us so much that he could not spare his only son Jesus Christ for our redemption .
That is why we should feel safe and secure in him despite what may be happening in our various situations. We are that valuable before God and should rest assured we are safe and secure in Him. Those who dare to touch you invites God’s wrath upon themselves. The Psalmist asks, whom shall we be afraid? Trust in Him for we are surely God’s untouchables.
