No Protection

The Talmud in Masechet Sota explains what Kalev meant when he tried to encourage the people by saying, סר צלם, “Their protection is removed.”
He was telling them that their protectors and powerful righteous people had passed away. He was referring to Job, איוב, who was the protector of its inhabitants.
On another level he was saying that they had lost any kind of Divine protection. Avraham Avinu was told that the time was not yet ripe to inherit the land. The sins of the Emorite people were not yet complete. But now that the 210 years of slavery has passed, the sins are complete.
This even applied to the ministering angels that were appointed over each nation in Heaven. It was time for the seven nations living in Israel to be defeated. They had nothing to worry about.
It is clear that Hashem has decided that it’s time for his children to come home. It is important to take a step back and marvel at Israel’s achievements in the last seventy-eight years. It makes no sense to see such incredible growth on all levels in such a short time.
It is clear that סר צלם, there is no protection for the other nations living here. With Hashem’s help we will continue to succeed and inherit the land for all times.
