Acknowledging Jewish Exceptionalism Requires Acknowledging Its True Source - Something This World Hates to Do for Pride's Sake

As Reader Robert is observng, there is a mystique of the Jewish presence in this mortal realm that few realize, let alone understand: and why is that? Its source is the answer.
None other than the Jewish Messiah can be pointed to in order to gain a certain perspective of why the Judaic basis of observations takes on a world that appears insistent there is something about Judaism that the rest of the world should avoid, if not eliminate.
Why(?): because the Messiah knows when that hatred of things Jewish commenced; when antecedent Abraham was blessed by the Eternal Father, and the son Isaac inherited that and passed it on to Jacob, also called Israel. Where did that leave Ishmael?
Actually, one can trace the exceptionalism to the beginning words of the Tanakh: yet who reads that for understanding Jewish exceptionalism anymore: anyone?
Yeshua HaMashiach explains that the hatred comes from before when the fallen angel rebelled and took his anger out on all that God loves, especially the exceptionist family of Abraham. Mankind was imbued with this when the original man listened to a different voice than the voice of the Holy One of Israel.
Israel is still the blessed nation of the LORD; and the rest that do not understand that are angry, just like the ones that had Him crucified under Roman authority. The Messiah exemplfies Jewish exceptionalism such that when He returns, guess where His throne will be. That is why the Temple Mount remains the place of contention that everyone else makes it out to be.
