Who Did God Really Choose?

The phrase “chosen people” is one of the most powerful — and most misused — concepts in all of religion. For centuries, it has been claimed by rabbinic Judaism, institutionalized through Zionism, and accepted by Christians and Muslims alike without questioning its foundation.

But if we judge spiritual authority by truth, righteousness, and alignment with divine will, then we must ask honestly:

Can a people who rejected the Son of God, cursed His name, and institutionalized injustice still be called “chosen”?

This is not an attack. It’s a necessary reckoning.

Because true chosenness is not about ancestry — it is about Asha.


1. The Biblical Origins of “Chosen People”

In the Old Testament, God refers to Israel as His chosen:

“You are a holy people to the Lord your God… the Lord has chosen you to be His treasured possession.”
— Deuteronomy 14:2

But this choosing was conditional — based on covenant obedience:

“If you will obey My voice and keep My covenant, you shall be My treasured possession among all peoples.”
— Exodus 19:5

The Torah is clear: chosenness is covenantal, not racial.


2. The Prophets Condemned Israel for Rebellion

Time after time, Israel broke the covenant — turning to idols, oppressing the poor, corrupting worship.

a. Isaiah 1:4

“Woe to the sinful nation, a people whose guilt is great… They have forsaken the Lord.”

b. Jeremiah 7:9–11

“Will you steal, murder, commit adultery… then come and stand before Me… and say, ‘We are safe’? Has this house become a den of robbers?”

The prophets did not spare Israel.
They declared that the people of God must reflect the character of God — or lose their status.


3. Jesus Declares the Covenant Broken

In the Gospels, Jesus does not affirm ethnic chosenness. He warns, confronts, and ultimately transfers the covenant to those who follow Him.

a. Matthew 21:43

“The kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people producing its fruit.”

b. John 8:39–44

The Pharisees claim Abraham as their father. Jesus replies:
“If you were Abraham’s children, you would do what Abraham did… You are of your father, the devil.”

Jesus makes it clear: lineage means nothing without obedience.


4. Paul Confirms This in the New Testament

a. Romans 2:28–29

“A person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly… A true Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart.”

b. Galatians 3:29

“If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.”

Chosenness is now spiritual, not tribal.
The followers of Christ — Jew or Gentile — are the new covenant people.


5. Rabbinic Judaism and Zionism Claim Chosenness Without Obedience

Despite rejecting Jesus, modern rabbinic Jews still claim:

  • They are the chosen people
  • The land of Israel belongs to them by divine right
  • They have a superior status over Gentiles (Sanhedrin 57a, Yevamot 61a)

Zionism extends this claim to political, military, and racial supremacy, enforcing it through:

  • Ethnic cleansing
  • Apartheid law
  • International manipulation and censorship

This is not covenantal chosenness.
This is Antichrist entitlement masquerading as divine privilege.


6. The Moral Fruit Testifies Against Them

“You will know them by their fruits.”
— Jesus, Matthew 7:16

What are the fruits of modern rabbinic and Zionist power?

  • Blasphemy against Christ
  • Racial legal systems
  • Desecration of the conscience
  • Genocide in the name of God

No people who produce this fruit — regardless of ancestry — can be called “chosen” by a God of justice.


7. True Chosenness Is Alignment with Asha

In Zoroastrian terms, the truly chosen are those who walk in:

  • Asha (truth and right order)
  • Vohu Manah (the Good Mind)
  • Spenta Armaiti (inner humility and devotion)

Chosenness is not a tribal badge.
It is a sacred burden — to live by truth, to love righteousness, and to defend the innocent.


From Privilege to Responsibility

The Jews were once chosen — not to dominate the world, but to reflect God’s justice.

They failed that calling.
Christ offered them a chance to return.
They rejected Him.

And now, any people — of any race — who follow truth and righteousness are the heirs of the covenant.

“There is no Jew or Gentile… for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”
— Galatians 3:28

The Lie of the Chosen must fall.
Only the fire of truth can restore the world.
