God raised up Israel as His chosen nation for a special service preparatory for the Kingdom of God.
If God is no respecter of persons, then why did He raise up the ancient nation of Israel as His chosen people? The Bible is indeed a book about Israel—other nations are mentioned only as they come into contact with Israel. But there is a reason God chose Israel. And this truth is a mystery to the world—it’s unknown by any religion, including Christianity and even Judaism!
The Bible, as Herbert W. Armstrong taught in this book, Mystery of the
Ages, is essentially a book about Israel. Its history, from beginning to
end, is primarily the history of one nation or people—the Israelites.
And its prophecy, too, pertains primarily to this people of Israel, and
to other nations only insofar as they come into contact with Israel.
