Israel continues to Amaze, Confound, Survive

Do you ever pause to wonder why Israel, a tiny nation of 8 million, commands such attention on the world stage? Millions starve to death or die as war casualties every year all across the globe and yet a fractional number of deaths anywhere in Palestine draws a thousand times the attention.
In the Bible we find these verses in Deuteronomy chapter 7: “6 For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth. 7 The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people: 8 But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. 9 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;”
Israel is the chosen people of the God of the Bible. If nothing else in the Bible makes sense or seems to be believable, I believe the story of Israel alone would speak to its infallibility. There is no other wordly explanation for Israel’s existence.
