The rich imagery of Isaiah leaves us in no doubt that the Israelites had been a wandering tribe living in tents. The favoured ones are to grow rich in the cities abandoned by their enemies. Truly the ways of God are not man's ways. God chose the Jews and there is no answer to the "why". In the Middle East there were many other tribes and nations. All were human and growing in skills and knowledge but without the open guidance of God. 

There is no answer to "Why the Jews?" And the question grows even more answerless when we look further to the East where India was beginning to team with human growth andso to China, Japan, South East Asia and across the Pacific to Peru and Mexico. Africa too was peopled with human descenants of Adam. God's human creation

God chose the Jews to be his people because God is. With hindsight we can see that from outside of human time Father, Son and Holy Spirit knew that the Son would be incarnated in Jewish flesh, born of an immacultely conceived woman and cared for by that woman and her husband throughout his infancy.

What about the millions of souls who are living or have finished their worldly lives without hearing the truth that comes from God? What about those who should know better have heard and not listened?

Dear Lord you know that we all are your creation and completely in your hands to do with as you wish; let my thoughts become prayer to you beseeching your Mercy for all humanity and especially for my friends and family.
