The Jews are definitely
God’s chosen people. Just as
God has chosen a people unto Himself, He has also chosen a land for them in
which to dwell in perpetuity. God
himself measured the dimensions of this land over 3000 years ago (Joshua 1:
3-4). God is therefore a Zionist.
We can certainly
depend on the Bible in authenticating the identity of the Jews as the chosen
ones. It is the most accurate book
of all antiquity. Of the 27
scriptural texts of the other world’s religions, there is a great deal
more documentary evidence confirming the historical and textual reliability of
the Bible.
Also, those clever
Jewish scribes took great care to foolproof the Bible for all posterity. They knew that with time comes
distortion. Therefore, they counted
every word and every letter on every page.
If the count was incorrect on re-examination, the inaccurate page was
torn up and the scribe started the process of writing again. So scrupulous were
they in their pursuit for perfection, we know that there are 304,805 letters in
the book of Genesis. There is also a count of the number of vowels and
consonants in each book that they copied.
In getting back to the
subject, the Bible states that the Lord “…chose Jacob unto Himself
and
The Jews above all,
were chosen to spread God’s light throughout the planet. They are the conduits through which the
salvation of Jesus Christ was made available to humanity. In both the spiritual and the secular
spheres, they have been overachievers.
This is a fulfillment of the prophecy that all the nations of the earth
shall be blessed by
Christianity came to us through the Jew. From the Judeo-Christian ethic came the
great technological innovations and cultural developments as we know them
today. It is an established fact
that Bible believing creationists founded every branch of science.
The Gentile nations
also profited from the Christian perspective. The people responsible for our
technological innovations began life as barbarians. The Vikings, the other Germanic tribes
– including the Goths, Franks and the Saxons were a menace to the
European coast. They destroyed
everything in their path as a sacrifice to their demonic gods of war.
When the Bible
permeated their culture, they became civilized and today you find among them
the Scandinavian peoples, the British and the Americans. Since these people honoured the word of
God in their culture, it is observed that a great number of the Nobel Prizes in
Science and Technology go to them.
It is further noticed that all other countries in the Bible belt that
adopt the Judeo-Christian ethic begin to prosper materially, intellectually and
spiritually as well.
A modern day nation
that has arisen from poverty and illiteracy is
In
Just as these
blessings have followed the genetic offspring of Abraham, they have followed his
spiritual descendants – the gentiles. As the people of African ancestry obey
the call to carry God’s light throughout the world, God likewise, will
prosper them in the different spheres of human endeavour. “In the last days,
THE JEWISH INTELLECT - THE RESULT OF A GENERATIONAL
Many have marveled at
the phenomenal accomplishments of the Jewish people in almost every sphere of
human endeavour. The ordinary man
attributes this to intellect. Psychologists search for a genetic or
environmental basis for their high IQ (Intelligence Quotient) ratings.
However, this is part and parcel of the generational
blessings coming down from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. If the Ashkenazi Jews (those of Polish,
Russian and German ancestry) are found to score 10 to 15 points higher on IQ
tests than the surrounding populations, it is not by their own resourcefulness.
It is by the Spirit of God. The
Creator has equipped them to be a blessing to all nations as He has
prophesied. When God calls for
something, he provides for it.
Other speculators
would suggest that the Jews have bred eugenically over the years, when the sons
of scholars married the daughters of the merchant class, thus producing the
survival of the fittest intellectually. Their intellect has led them, as some
to contend, to withstand persecution. However, other great nations before them
have disappeared from the earth with much less persecution. There is a supernatural component to the
survival of the Jew.
Even their enemies
have acknowledged their ability to innovate and their intellectual
prowess. It is a known fact, that
one in five of all Nobel laureates have been Jewish even though they are 1/24
of 1 percent of the world’s population. Other interesting observations are 1/3
of the faculty at
In the arts, they are the
world’s most formidable performers.
It is conceded by some that the Jewish born Felix Mendelssohn was a
greater musical prodigy that Mozart.
Mendelssohn was a walking musical library at 12. With total recall, he could produce any
classical piano work on demand.
Today, Jewish concert pianists and concert violinists are the
personification of their art. They are icons in the performance world without
equal. The Israeli Philharmonic
Orchestra, called the aristocrat of orchestras, consists of all former first
chair players from all over the world.
Since the dawn of
history, 800 civilizations perished when they violated God’s universal
principles of morality. These
civilizations became worn down not necessarily because of a lack of
intellectual insight, creativity or scientific innovations. They fell because of a lack of revealed
knowledge through the oracles of God. In Proverbs 29:18, it states that
“where there is no vision, the people perish.” People generally
interpret this to mean man- based vision. However, man’s vision is flawed
and sometimes he and his vision perish. Vision in this context is the Hebrew
word for revelation. God’s ideal modus operandi for humankind is to
function through the intellect and a combination of intuition (or revealed
knowledge) coming from the Holy Spirit.
When there is a high level of revelation knowledge, a nation will begin
to experience real and sustained prosperity.
