Throughout history, the notion of the “Chosen People” has often been regarded as a sacred promise. According to scripture, God once declared to a certain nation: “Those who bless you will be blessed, and those who curse you will be cursed.” This has led many to believe that this nation holds a unique, divinely ordained status. Yet when we examine reality, this claim appears to stand in stark contradiction to the facts.

1. Conflict Between Faith and Reality

In today’s world, a nation that calls itself the “Chosen People” has not demonstrated mercy or compassion. Instead, it continues to oppress the indigenous population, seize more land, and use military force against those who resist. Such brutality hardly reflects the image of a people blessed by God. Can a nation that expands through violence and oppression truly be considered “chosen”?

2. Does “Blessing” Really Exist?

Scripture suggests that those who bless the chosen will themselves be blessed. Yet reality tells a different story. A powerful country that has provided this nation with enormous military and economic aid—amounting to tens of billions, even over a hundred billion dollars annually—now finds itself burdened with over $30 trillion in national debt. Its economic and social conditions are deteriorating, and ordinary citizens are suffering increasing hardship. There is little evidence that such “blessings” have resulted in prosperity. If God’s promise were truly at work, why does the outcome contradict it so sharply?

3. Political Narratives and Manipulation

History shows that rulers have often used “divine will” to justify their ambitions. From the Crusades under the banner of “holy war,” to colonial expansion in the name of “civilizing missions,” religion has frequently been invoked to mask conquest and exploitation. Similarly, the idea of the “Chosen People” may well be a political narrative crafted to rationalize aggression and injustice.

Conclusion

The concept of a “Chosen People” may carry symbolic or historical meaning within faith traditions, but in modern politics, it increasingly resembles a convenient lie disguised as divine authority. A true God would never endorse slaughter, oppression, and land theft. If the so-called “chosenness” exists merely to excuse such acts, then it is not of God but more akin to the work of darkness.

True blessing does not rest on titles or ancestry. It lies in living out justice, compassion, and peace. Any nation that abandons these universal values forfeits its claim to divine favor—no matter how loudly it proclaims itself “chosen.”
