When my son Daniel was in elementary school, he was flagged as highly gifted and was placed in accelerated learning programs and classes. As years went by, he began tutoring and mentoring other students.
I remember taking him to the Smithsonian Air & Space museum, where he attempted to explain to me how rocket ships work. I simply nodded and smiled as his words went completely over my head!
He entered the physics program in college and after graduating, earned his B.S. degree in physics. After graduating, Daniel began working at Applied Physics – a NASA program not far from our home. It was there that Daniel received his Masters degree.
He went on to write his thesis and received his doctorate in Astrophysics. Daniel travels the world, speaking to various audiences.
He has made quite an impact in the field of Astrophysics; writing programs for other scientists to help them use powerful telescopes in measuring the distance between stars.
When Thomas Sowell was asked what the Jews might do to not be so hated, he answered with this:
“What can Jews themselves do to stop antisemitism? Fail – because as long as you succeed you’re going to be hated.” Thomas Sowell.
Need I say more?
MARANATHA!!
The best thing the Jews have done for me is, bringing me the “Oracles of God”! Romans 3:2
Amen!!
The number of Jews that have made an impact on society is mind boggling. I have enjoyed the humor of the 3 Stooges, the Marx Brothers , Mel Brooks, and many others. The character actor Eli Wallach (Tuco – The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly), William Shatner & Leonard Nimoy just to name a few successful actors. But most importantly the world would be hopeless without the Holy Scriptures written by Jews. (There is no concrete evidence but only the tradition of man in support that Luke was a Gentile and not a Jew.) “What advantage then has the Jew, or what is the profit of circumcision? Much in every way! Chiefly to them were committed the oracles to God.” Rom. 3:1-2
Well said, Mark 🙂
The best thing the Jews have brought me (including the blessings listed above) is preserving the Old Testament as God intended, the apostles, the NT & most importantly providing the Lord Jesus (the ultimate gift of God) Who came to earth & took our sins upon Himself & died in my place on the cross. He rose from the dead, after 3 days in the grave to show that only He has the power over death. Faith in Jesus & following Him to the end of our lives will provide us with rewards + eternal life in heaven with the Lord. All these benefits for humanity by God thru the Jews (knowingly or not) are hated by the devil & that’s one reason the Jews get persecuted. Today is the day of salvation. If the Jews are truly smart then they must not pass up God’s greatest gift of eternal life thru Christ & ONLY Christ.
WELL SAID!!
Wow, I can “like” comments again! Yay!!!
Jews have received more grief than we can imagine for giving us THE WORD OF GOD. SO Thankful for all of you.
YAY is right!!!
Amen and Amen!! 🙂
