Pharisee

 God chose the Jews to demonstrate to the world his love, care and provision. They were to make the other countries want to have a relationship also. He did not choose them because they were better or more powerful than other countries. In fact, they were the fewest. He had his own reasons. Unfortunately, they wanted to have their own way more than God’s way, so God opened salvation through the Gentiles. He has not forgotten or abandoned the Jews, however. They will play an important role in the end days.
