Why Did God Raise Up the Nation Israel - and Deny Them Spiritual Salvation? - Herbert W Armstrong - May 1984

Herbert W Armstrong

Did anyone ever think to ask WHY God raised up the ancient nation Israel, denying them His Holy Spirit and eternal salvation - except their prophets only? WHY were Old Testament Israelites called God's "chosen people" - and still denied the Holy Spirit to beget them into eternal life? "Chosen" - for what? To be teacher's pet? For special favors above other nations? Was God a respecter of nations? To understand, we need to start with Adam and Eve. It is an intriguing story, and I have never seen it put together in this manner before. The true reason for ancient Israel is an integral part of God's supreme master plan. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
