Can
you imagine someone touching the pupil of your eye or the pupil of
God's eye? Your eye is dear to you and so is the pupil (apple) of your
eye. Likewise, the apple of God's eye is dear to Him. This post gives a
description of what it means to be the apple of the Lord's eyes.
“He
found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led
him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye. As
an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth
abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:” (Deuteronomy
32:10-11 KJV)
“For
thus said the Lord of hosts, after [His] glory had sent me [His
messenger] to the nations who plundered you–for he who touches you
touches the apple or pupil of His eye:” (Zechariah 2:8 AMP)
The
phrase "apple of my eye" is used to describe something or someone that
another cherishes dearly above others. God has people who have become
the apple of His eyes, people He cherishes above others.
At
one time, the Israelites were the apple God's eye. He watched over them
as an eagle watches over her young (Deuteronomy 32:10-11). He fought
for them, gave them the best of all and the rest of the world feared
them because of God. Any nation that touched them touched the pupil of
God's eye (Zechariah 2:8) and they always paid dearly for it.
