The Preservation of the Jewish People - Dr. David R. Reagan -
http://raptureready.com/featured/reagan/dr50.html
One of my spiritual mentors when I was in my 20s was a great man of God named Carl Ketcherside (1908-1989). I heard him in a question and answer session one time when he was asked, "What do you think is the greatest evidence that the Bible came from God?"
His answer: "The Yellow Pages of the phone book." Needless to say, we were all stunned by this response.
When the questioner followed up by asking what he meant, Carl said, "Look at the names of the banks, the names of the department stores, the names of lawyers and doctors and accountants. You will see one Jewish name after another. God promised He would preserve the Jewish people, and He has."
In like manner, over 300 years ago, King Louis XIV of France (1638-1715) asked Blaise Pascal (1623-1662), the great Christian philosopher, to give him proof of the existence of God. Pascal answered, "Why the Jews, your Majesty, the Jews!"1
Both Ketcherside and Pascal were referring to the fulfillment of Bible prophecies about the Jews, one of the most remarkable being that despite their worldwide dispersion and unparalleled persecution, they would keep their identity and be preserved as a recognizable nation of people.
