The phrase "a light unto the nations" refers to Israel's role as a model of justice and a beacon of hope for the world. The term originated from the prophet Isaiah and is understood by some to mean that the Israelites were to be spiritual and moral mentors for the entire world.


Here are some reasons why Israel is called the light unto the nations:

• A model of justice
  Israel has shown that democratic values can thrive even in an environment of extremism and siege.
  
  
  
• A force for progress
  Israel has been a driving force for invention, commerce, and civic innovation.
  
  
  
• A haven for minority rights
  Israel is a safe haven for minority rights, recognizing 15 religions and protecting their holy sites.
  
  
  
• A showcase of God's character
  Israel was chosen by God to reflect His character to all nations, showing what obedience to God brings and what disobedience brings.
  
  
  
• A custodian of God's light
  Israel has carried the light of God's glory for generations, as seen in the Menorah, the holy fire, and the pillar of fire that accompanied Israel in the desert.

But "Israel" is obviously none of those things, therefore you are clearly misinterpreting God's word - you have been deceived.

Best you start listening to God yourself, once again:

"I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet".

Why are you disobeying God by trying to teach lies about the state of Israel?

Titus 1:10

For there are many rebellious people, full of meaningless talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision group (Jews). 11 They must be silenced, because they are disrupting whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach—and that for the sake of dishonest gain. 12 One of Crete’s own prophets has said it: “Cretans are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons.”[c] 13 This saying is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith 14 and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the merely human commands of those who reject the truth.

I think this conversation has gone as far as it can.

The old saying that you so aptly demonstrate: “He knew his way out of the harbor, but after that, everything was open sea.”

No reason for you to respond.

No.

No?

So you have no problem pontification about something about which you know nothing.

You are desperate, aren’t you?

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

You are desperate, aren’t you?

No more desperate than the well meaning people who during WW2 risked life and limb to alert the world to the Nazi atrocities. You stupid woman.

 

[Sherlock Holmes]

No?

Yet I clearly know far more than you, go figure.

I haven't been to South Africa either.

Mutiny - that's how bad things are there now, like many Zionists here you run away like a little mouse when reality is presented to you.

Posting images of your relatives won't scare me, although she is unnerving I admit.

I think readers will have a far different opinion.

The Bible is spiritual mirror madam, I suggest you look at it rather than waving it around like Trump.
