No, I don't think any of these Old Testament admonitions have any particular relevance to the modern nation-state of Israel. As it is, I think these instructions to the Israelites by Yahweh have long been superseded. If you seek biblical warrant for this assertion, I would direct your attention to Deuteronomy 28:15-68.

Deuteronomy 28:15-68.

What a great passage. It perfectly compliments the point I was trying to think of earlier when I said God would punish his people if they failed to obey his commandments and kill every last man, woman and child.
Thanks for posting.
