Why the Jew? Use your imaginations: Despite the fact that the Jewish race has never constituted more than a small fraction of 1 per cent, Less than one half of one per cent of the worlds population are classified as Jews, yet no less than 12 per cent of all the Nobel Prizes in physics, chemistry, and medicine have all gone to Jews. ( including Facebook) Centuries ago an agnostic king of France was discussing philosophy and religion with his royal court counselor. After numerous arguments were presented by the Christian advisor in favor of the position that God had revealed Himself in the Holy Scriptures, the king finally demanded that his counselor prove to him that God existed in an argument using only two words. The counselor replied, The Jews! The survival and prospering of the Jewish people during thousands of years of brutal persecution, pogroms, and the tragedy of six million Jews massacred in Hitlers Holocaust is a mysterious miracle unparalleled in history. Each of the mighty empires of the past - Assyria, Egypt, Babylon, Media-Persia, Greece, and Rome - who conquered Israel and carried her Jewish citizens into slavery have themselves turned to dust. Yet the Jewish people, the least among the ancient nations of the Middle East, have survived throughout centuries, despite the overwhelming persecution and opposition against them. No other people in history have ever lost their national homeland for thousands of years, survived dispersion in more than 70 different nations for 20 centuries, and then returned to their ancient homeland and rebuilt it. What other nation lost its national language for 20 centuries, only to recover it and teach its ancient language to millions of its returning exiles? Almost two billion people, including Jews, Muslims, and Christians, have accepted that portions of the Jewish Bible are a sure guide through time to eternity. By the late Grant Jeffery.
