Deuteronomy 7:6 "For you are a separated people to Yahuwah your God, and Yahuwah your God has chosen you to become his people, his special property, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth."
With that declaration, Israel became a chosen race and special people to serve Yahuwah who has called and chosen us to serve Him in the land He promised to give to Abraham and His chosen descendants after him.
However, Israel made an error, a misstep at the early beginning of the nation. They rejected Yahuwah and chose to serve other gods instead. Yahuwah rejected Israel and therefore recommended punishment for his sons and daughters.
Israel will not return to serve Yahuwah in the Promised Land until we have completed the imposed final 2000 years punishment on us among the nations.
