The Eternal Nation

If God were to place a human, historical witness to His existence, who would that witness be like? To be a historical witness of an eternal God in history, that witness would have to be eternal in some way as well. This witness would also have to stand out in some special way so that people noticed.

That witness is not a person, but a nation.  The Jewish nation is the witness of God's existence.  No other people have survived over 4 millennium and still retain the same religion, the same language, the same monetary unit and live in the same land as they did thousands of years before.  When they disobeyed God, they suffered even to the point of losing their lands, but God is faithful and He brought them back. They are His witness forever.

2 Samuel 7:24 "You have established your people Israel as your very own forever, and you, LORD, have become their God."

You want proof of God?  Look to the Jew.  Winston Churchill wrote "Some people like the Jews, and some do not.  But no thoughtful man can deny the fact that they are, beyond all question, the most formidable and the most remarkable race which has ever appeared in the world."

The next time you meet someone Jewish, thank them for showing you that God does exist.  That person has the thumbprint of God on their life.
