God made a promise to Abraham. He said, "Get out of your country, from your family and from your father's house, to a land that I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; And you shall be a blessing: I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed." (the later, a prophesy of the coming of Jesus). Genesis 12:1-3. After God led the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt he said to them, "For the Lord your God will bless you just as he promised you; you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow; you shall reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over you." Deut 15:6. You tell me you don't believe in a God? I would like the atheist or agnostic to explain the phenomenon of the Jew to me. We all know the wealth, power and influence of the Jew in the world today. We know how the Jews just mysteriously rise up to the top in wealth, power and influence in nations around the world. It is not a new phenomenon. It has been happening for ages. We can go all the way back to the story of Joseph and how he rose to the top in the land of Egypt. It is an interesting story. Read it. Genesis 37-47. Then there is the story of Moses. Another very interesting story. A Jew raised as the son of a Pharaoh. There is the story of Daniel. And the story of Easter and Mordecai. These stories are from way back then. The story just keeps repeating. Different countries, different times, same story. It is all just luck. Right? The Jews are just a very lucky people. In fact, they are a chosen people. Chosen by God. The promise, "you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow." A very interesting promise. Think it over. Has God kept his promise to Abraham? It sounds like the Jews are getting some mysterious help from somewhere. Doesn't it? The Jews and their story stand as testimony to the Most High God. He is up there. No doubt about it. There is a God, my atheist friend. You just don't believe in him because you don't wish to believe in him. That is a terrible mistake. A really fatal mistake.
