47 a“Because you did not serve the Lord your God with joy and gladness of heart, bfor the abundance of everything,
48 therefore you shall serve your enemies, whom the Lord will send against you, in ahunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in need of everything; and He bwill put a yoke of iron on your neck until He has destroyed you.
49 aThe Lord will bring a nation against you from afar, from the end of the earth, bas swift as the eagle flies, a nation whose language you will not understand,
50 a nation of fierce countenance, awhich does not respect the elderly nor show favor to the young.
51 And they shall eat the increase of your livestock and the produce of your land, until you are destroyed; they shall not leave you grain or new wine or oil, or the increase of your cattle or the offspring of your flocks, until they have destroyed you.

Deuteronomy 28:49-50
While not all the details here fit October 7, we can still see the same general themes. The enemy did not come from the end of the earth but from right next door. Even so, this shows that, when God judges it to be appropriate, He will bring a ruthless enemy that has no regard for basic human rights.
