After Exodus, Diaspora and holocaust, why Jews Still believe they are the chosen people?

Question

Indeed Jews were chosen once. But they fell from Grace because of their disobedience. In 587 BCE, they were punished through Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar.
Then they were punished in 70 AD for rejecting Christ knowingly and as predicted by him, not a stone of Solomon's temple remained on another. Do they believe that their choice is unconditional? But Deteronomy 11:18~25 says :

"If you faithfully keep all the instructions that I command you,
loving the Lord your God, walking in his ways and holding fast
to Him...........as He promised you"

Holy Quran also says in Chapter ' Bani Israel ' that::

" If you repeat your sins, we Shall repeat the punishment".

Further in ch 3, verse 112 :

" Shame is pitched over them wherever they are found except under a covenent from Allah and from people (Like
American people), they draw on themselves wrath from Allah.

And tht who reject Jesus will always be outnumbered by his believers. Then why this misunderding?

Chosen people are not punished and are rewarded. But Jews did not undergo
punishment 2000 years ago, but also 60-70 years ago also. Holy Quran prophesied that shame will cover them like a tent wherever they go. Jews could only survive with the grace of God or
begging people to save them (Like Americans).

Holy Quran also predicted that rejecters of Jesus will always be dominated by his believers (Christians and Muslims).
In Chapter Bani Israel the warning
"if they persist in their crimes,(such as
charging interest, arrogance and corruption), their punishment shall be
repeated," upset Israeli Authority so much that it banned recitation of that
Chapter on Palestine Radio & TV.

In fact God Almighty told Prophet Abraham that his promise did not reach the arrogant .Yet Jews claim to be chosen people and that too without a condition!
Lord God had already told Abraham : "My promise does not reach the disobedients!"

Repentence is the only hope to delay
Armaggadon !

Answer 1

Are you saying the Holocaust was ordained by God? Or do you consider that pre-WW2 Christian attitudes towards Jews was one major contributing precursor to the holocaust?

A very important distinction, I feel....

Answer 2

To the Jews "belong the sonship, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises; to them belong the patriarchs, and of their race, according to the flesh, is the Christ" (Romans 9:4-5); "for the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable." (Romans 11:29)

The Catholic Church officially teaches:

When she delves into her own mystery, the Church, the People of God in the New Covenant, discovers her link with the Jewish People, "the first to hear the Word of God.

The Jewish faith, unlike other non-Christian religions, is already a response to God's revelation in the Old Covenant.

With love in Christ.

Answer 3

Look at Isreal. Take a good look at Isreal. Dare to pick up a complete Bible. Prophecy in the Bible says that Isreal will be scattered throughout the world. It was. It also says it will be regathered. It was. It also says it will be attached by Iran and Russia (Mog and Maggog - Russians are the descendents of Maggog) and that those attaching nations are going to have their armies obliterated.

You are right that Armageddon is coming. It is coming very soon it seems. The president of Iran has said that he will destroy Isreal by the end of 2008. In order to destroy it, he's going to have to attack them. Have you been watching the news lately?

Yes, the Messiah is coming, and all knees will bow - including the knees of muslims, jews, Hindus, Buddhists, Athiests, etc. Can you imagine that happening? Sounds like world peace, doesn't it?

Answer 4

It's true that neither Moses, Aaron or Mariam ever made it to the promised land for their disobedience to G-d. But they have stayed strong though all of their turmoil and deserve to be highly commended for never giving up on G-d even when things were at their worst.

Answer 5

The prophet Isaiah in the 8th century B.C. describes Israel, after being LONG out of the holy land, suddenly becoming "a nation born in a day!" This happened in 1948.

How is it YOU cannot see this?

Answer 6

They "have self assurance" they're gods chosen human beings simply by fact moses led them out of Egypt by potential of god the place they the place "slaves" and supposedly "outfitted " the pyramids. additionally simply by fact of what they have continued in modern circumstances . yet, modern historic information proved that the jews did no longer construct the pyramids yet infact Egyptian workers simply by fact the staff have been stumbled on buried and Egyptians did no longer bury slaves. So i do no longer understand what to belive the bible or historic information.
