 God prophesied that the Jew would be disobedient, dispersed, discredited, but not destroyed. The king of Egypt could not do it. The Red Sea could not drown Israel. The fiery furnace could not devour Israel. The gallows of Haman could not hang Israel. And the nations of the world have not been able to assimilate Israel. And the dictators cannot annihilate Israel. Israel is God's chosen people.
