But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.”And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.”.
Numbers 13

Israel's modern day sin problem is that same as it was in the beginning.
When the faithless people who ignore their all Powerful God and elect FEARFUL, faith challenged grasshoppers to lead the nation with weakness, appeasement and retreat, disaster is certainly coming and not peace.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
