Throughout Perakim 1-4 the Navi talks about how the Jews have sinned and they kept trying to give Hashem sacrifices and they kept trying too do Teshuva but they never realized that they can't only ask Hashem for forgiveness, they also need to be good to the people around them. Once we finally figure out why that have sinned we wait a little longer until we find out their punishment. In perek 5 we learn that their punishment will be that they will be attacked by a foreign nation.
We see these types of punishments today even though it may not seem like it. We as Jews are supposed to follow all the laws (that can still apply today) but not everyone seems to be doing this. So because of this Israel is constantly under attack from other nations. Not everyone may believe that this is true but in my opinion I think that it could contribute to it.
