What Appears 743 Million Times on Google? Five Points to Ponder

How can it be that we are such a small nation, yet the nations of the world talk about us endlessly?

There are about 15 million Jews in the world, making up only about 0.5% of the global population, yet notice how much people talk about us worldwide. What does everyone want from us? Is there any other nation as small as the Jewish people, that is so much the focus of the world's attention, so heavily criticized and protested against?

So why does such a small nation like the Jewish people attract such "interest"? I don't understand it, especially when our neighbor Syria is slaughtering thousands of children daily and no one says a word. Silence around the world!

Such animosity towards us is not understandable, particularly because the Jewish intellect has greatly contributed to humanity in various fields, such as Einstein's theory of relativity, Waze, Iron Dome, Facebook, and many more. About 25% of Nobel Prize winners are Jewish! It's a disproportionately high percentage compared to their size in the world's population.

This illogicality can be explained by divine providence and prophecy written in the Bible: "And you will become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword among all the nations where Hashem will lead you" (Deuteronomy 28:37). The Creator of the world indicates that among the nations, the name Israel will be a "proverb" - Jews are always cited as an example for something... (Today, we see that Israel is always an example of something negative). "And a byword"- always the nations will talk about the Jewish people, the nation of Israel will always be on the lips of the nations of the world.

So what is the surprise? The Creator of the world and the shaper of history promised - and delivered!

In conclusion, out of curiosity, I searched Google for the word "Israel" (in English) and got 743 million results. I realized there is not even a single country the size of Israel that reaches half of that amount of results! Try for yourselves...

Exact Composition of Gases in the Air

Even a child in kindergarten knows that the wind brings clouds and with them rain: "He brings the wind and brings down rain". But the wind benefits humans directly as well.

The air we breathe is a mixture of different gases: about 78% nitrogen, about 21% oxygen, and 1% other gases.

This composition is typical everywhere on Earth, for our benefit: a high or low concentration of oxygen can be dangerous for us.
If there was a higher percentage of oxygen, lighting a match would cause a giant fire and we would burn. On the other hand,
if there was a lower percentage of oxygen, we wouldn't be able to breathe...

Therefore, the composition of gases in the air remains constant, no more and no less - constant! Maintaining this composition itself is a tremendous miracle and grace that the Creator of the world does with us.

Let's complicate matters a bit.

It is known that humans and animals inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, while plants and the ocean do the opposite - they release oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide. Imagine if there was a greater number of trees in the world, and the size of the oceans increased, the amount of oxygen would inevitably rise and pose a danger to Earth as indicated. Or conversely, imagine the number of animals increased while the amounts of oceans and plants decreased, there would be a problem of oxygen shortage, which is essential for human life...!

These and other processes should disrupt the precise balance of the air's composition. So how is the accurate composition of the air maintained everywhere in the world: 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% others?

It is because of the wind that even if a place temporarily produces a higher concentration of one of the gases, the blowing wind disperses it, and the concentrations soon become equal, achieving the precisely described balance.

In other words, the wind maintains the oxygen level (21%) in the air so that humans can live and breathe properly!

Can it be that this process happened "by chance", or does it indicate a complex process that signifies planning and exemplary order?

Waking Up is More Complex Than We Thought

Every morning, just as we awaken from sleep, it's hard for us to get out of bed - our eyes shut, we feel tremendous fatigue, but we have to get up. After a few minutes "suddenly" the heavy tiredness begins to fade, and slowly we feel the freshness of a new day... Wait, what’s happening here? Where did the fatigue disappear to? Where is the heaviness in the eyes and drowsiness we felt when we woke up?

This is a great grace that the Creator of the world granted us to function during the day and "concealed" the fatigue from us. How did this happen? A small pea-sized gland in our brain, called the pineal gland, secretes a sleep hormone called melatonin. Melatonin production is high at night and low during daylight.

At night, in the darkness, melatonin secretion puts us to sleep. But when we wake, the eye's exposure to light rays inhibits melatonin secretion and then drowsiness diminishes. That's why, when the shades are opened, sleep "leaves" us...

Thanks to this wonderful design, every morning we wake up, and after a few minutes we feel refreshed and not drowsy, able to function. Could this process have been formed on its own without a creator and planner?

"Manufacturer's Instructions"

Every machine a person creates, such as a microwave or car, needs manufacturer instructions. Every product reaches the market with a guidebook that explains its purpose, how to operate it, and how to maintain it. Even more so - complex machines like computers and planes, for which people study for years to know how to operate them.

My question is this: Could it be that the one who created humans created them without purpose? Could it be that the manufacturer who created humans did not disclose their purpose in the world? Is it logical that the manufacturer left humans without an "instruction manual"? If so, for what reason did he create humans? "Just so"?!

The entire reality of humans cries out for manufacturer instructions. Every living creature in the world has manufacturer instructions, even the ant and the mosquito know from birth what their role in life is. Everyone has "manufacturer instructions" on how to live cooperatively, each one fulfilling their part without questions or doubts from morning until night.

Have you not asked yourselves, how does the cat know how to care for its kittens? How do birds know how to fly? How does the hen know to sit on its eggs? How do animals know how to communicate with each other? How do all animals know how to survive in nature and use every part they are given?

Every creature in our wonderful world receives manufacturer instructions from birth till death, and each one knows its role in the world. Do you think it's reasonable to believe that humans, who are without a doubt the most complex being on earth, would not receive any manufacturer instructions from the one who created them? Instructions on how to behave and act in the world, what is their role in the world, and what is expected of them?

Of course not! We are fortunate to have received the "manufacturer's instructions" in the guidebook we received from the Creator of the world, which is the Bible...

The Bible is the only religious guidebook that offers a full lawbook for all types of human questions like family life, society, legal matters, practical commandments, ethics, and character. The Torah of Israel is the only one that addresses all questions for every person in every generation.

The Land of Israel Belongs to the People of Israel - In the Quran?!

First, let us emphasize that the Quran is not a holy book for us, and its citations do not serve as proof of the truth of our faith and our Torah. Nevertheless, it is interesting to know: what is Islam's stance, as expressed in the sacred book in the eyes of Muslims, regarding the Land of Israel?

Let's observe together what Muhammad "writes" in the Quran about the connection between Muslims and the Land of Israel...

It turns out there is no mention in the Quran that the land was given to Muslims, Arabs, or those who call themselves Palestinians.

Furthermore, in at least three places in the Quran, the "Prophet" Muhammad, in the name of Allah, makes it clear that the Land of Israel belongs to the Jews!

One excerpt from the Quran, which relates to the connection between the people of Israel and the Land of Israel, in which Muhammad recognized the right of the people of Israel to their land, is found in Surah (Chapter) 5, verses 20-21. It says there that Allah elevates the status of the people of Israel and instructs them to enter the land which He designated for them

"...Moses said to his people: O my people, remember Allah's favor upon you when He raised prophets among you, and appointed you kings, and granted you that which He had not granted anyone else among the nations. O my people, enter the Holy Land which Allah has written for you, and do not turn your backs, lest you become losers..."

So, according to Islam, only the Jews have a divine right to the Land of Israel. The conclusion from this is that any Muslim who does not accept this is a heretic and is subject to punishment.

The conclusion is that demands by Muslims regarding the Holy Land are contrary to Islam and are not lawful.

Unfortunately, most Muslims do not recognize or know what is written in the Quran - that Muhammad himself says that the Land of Israel belongs to the Jews...
