God's Character Entrusted

Israel was chosen to be a kingdom of priests, a holy nation. The Lord chose Israel as His chosen vessel to whom He would reveal Himself and through whom He would make Himself known to the nations. The Lord revealed His character to Israel. He entrusted the revelation of His character to the judges, priests, kings, and prophets of Israel. Thus, Israel was given a choice. They would be blessed in the land if they represented His character. They would be cursed and removed from the land if they rejected His character. As was foretold, His character came in the flesh, was rejected, and will return to establish His character throughout His creation.
