If the Jews were falsely claiming to be God's Chosen People and wrote the Bible to support the claim, do you think that they would have documented their repeated sins so thoroughly? The Old Testament hardly makes the Jewish nation look "lily white". Even their most respected leaders were shown to be sinful men. Yes , the Jews are not God's chosen people , but the idea of that kind of theological idolatry overcomes and overuns Christianity for centuries to come as well . After humble beginnings the Christians rise up to be the most intollerant and violent group within the entire Roman Empire , and not until the Renaissance does it even begin to change slightly. But we could use the history of the Jews as an example... The survival of Israel is itself a miracle of God and evidence of His faithfulness to His Word. Many people have tried to obliterate the Jews, and yet they continue to survive and thrive. God returned them to their land in 1948 and gave them back Jerusalem in 1967. Oh come now , so many self-fulfilling prophecys so little time .... the Jewish nation was established out of the collective guilt of the western world that had become more humanistic and led by many independent thinkers of the last century . A divinity may have had a part in that or no . No more than returning Native American tribal lands back to the Navajo or the Crow or Klingkits...or India back to the Indians , or South Africa back to the South Africans . Was that "God's will" as well? Or these folks just don't count in your narow religious hierarchy of life on earth? You make no sense, and see only what you wish to see....and there are none so blind, etc etc. ;-)
