Some would suggest this means they are the "special ones" which would imply those not chosen to be the "not so special ones." I disagree with this analysis.
I BELIEVE THAT GOD CHOSE THE JEWISH PEOPLE TO BE A MIRROR TO THE ENTIRE WORLD, TO ALL NATIONS, TO ALL PEOPLE. They are as a big brother or sister to us, and to have been called by God as His chosen is a huge calling. God has allowed them to endure great sufferings that we might be able to learn from their journey (ex: Pharaoh, 40 years in the desert, etc), that we might not make the same mistakes in our own personal walks with God. I praise God or this example.
God has blessed the Jewish people with great blessings that we might learn from them how to find favor with our Father.
If we study the Jewish people, their beginning, their today and their future foretold, we can see our always loving, sometimes chastising Father's hand at work just as He is working in our own lives.
I praise God for Israel and her chosen!
