A g r e a t s t a t e s m a n o f a past generation was once asked what proof he could offer o f his belief in the inspiration o f the Bible. He promptly replied, “ The Jew.” In all o f the con fusion that we see about us in the world today, we hear com paratively little said about the Jewish problem. Of course the Jew is a totally inexplicable phenomenon, apart from the fact that God in His sovereign will chose the Jew to be the special object o f His interest and affection over three thousand years ago. Abraham was not a Jew, but he was the forerunner o f the Jewish nation. Technically, it is not exactly correct to speak o f the Jews as a nation. The word Jew comes from the word Judah and Judah was one o f the twelve sons o f Jacob. It was only the tribe o f Judah, along with the tribe o f Benjamin, which constituted the Southern Kingdom the subjects o f which origi nally were called Jews. The people o f the ten northern tribes were called Israelites. Actually, it is more accurate to speak o f the nation as the Hebrew nation. The word Hebrew is de rived from the name Eber, one o f the descendants o f Shem and direct ancestor o f Abraham. The name Eber means “ the regions beyond” and “ from the other side.” It refers to the people not as indigenous to the promised land but from regions beyond to whom God had given the promised land, or as we know it today, the land o f Palestine. But because the title Jew has become so inextricably involved with the whole Hebrew na tion through the centuries, we continue to speak o f the nation as the Jewish nation. It was God’s sovereign will that led Him to select the Jewish nation through whom the Saviour o f the world would come. It was the sovereign will o f God that led Him to select the Jewish nation also as the one to give the world the Bible, both the Old Testament and New. It is God’s sovereign will that has led Him to state in His Word that during the millennium, the Jewish people will become the most popular people upon the face o f the earth. And it is God’s sovereign will that has pro tected the Jewish nation through the centuries since He first promised Abraham that his seed should be as the sands o f the seashore—not that there should be a Jew for every grain o f sand along every seashore—but that even as the grains are in numerable, so the Jews cannot be numbered with any degree o f accuracy whatever. Other nations throughout history have waxed and waned and, as they have declined in strength and power, they have become well-nigh extinct. No nation ever taken into captivity
