Why is Israel so different - are they really special, chosen, called, blessed, and better than the rest of us? The response is a revelation that there were selected by the Creator to be the conduit to bless everyone else on earth or more specifically, the Gentiles. And why do we (the Gentiles) need to be blessed? The answer is that when we (Adam and Eve) agreed with the Adversary, we lost our connection to the Blesser or the original intent of the Creator to remain "blessed".
