God is setting the stage for their final destruction. Let us grip tightly the etz chaim, the Tree of Life. Let us hold fast to that which has sustained us from days of old, from the moment we stood at Mount Sinai. As we complete the counting of the Omer and draw near to the moment we re-accept the holy Torah, let us know with utmost certainty that the Tree of Life will sustain us forever.
As we say in Hallel, “God is with me; I have no fear; how can man affect me?”
