In Genesis 12:2-3 God gives a blessing to Abraham and his descendants, whom we now know as the Jews. He promises to make them a great nation, to bless them and to make them a blessing to all the families of the earth. My question to you is, has that promised been carried out? Consider what the Jewish nation has done even though they make up less than 1/4 of 1% of the world’s population.

Some of these facts are estimates or subject to change, but I think you get my point.
