Dream that Changed the World: God's vision to Abraham, is the Nation of Israel, His Chosen and treas

The Dream that Changed the World refers to the Dream that the Pharaoh had, which Joseph, the great-grandson of Abraham, interpreted. He saved Egypt from destruction and enabled the Israelites to settle in Goshen, where they multiplied and became a nation. The terms Hebrews, Jews, and Israelites all refer to the same people. The Jews became a prosperous nation when they left Egypt and settled in the Promised Land. After the death of King Solomon, the Kingdom of Israel, comprising twelve tribes, split into two: the Northern Kingdom of Israel, comprising ten tribes, and the Southern Kingdom of Judah, comprising two tribes. But because they disobeyed God by worshipping idols, they were taken captive first by the Assyrians and later by the Babylonians. The conquest was seen as a form of divine judgment for the nation's unfaithfulness. The covenant with God bound the Jewish people together, and they were faithful to him wherever they settled. For the other religions, the priests were the only group who could read. However, Jewish males were required to be literate to read the Torah and engage in debates about its contents. These two factors, the ability to read and discuss, which were rare in the Dark and Middle Ages, made the Jews a distinct entity. As the Jews were banned from owning land for some reason or other, they developed the skills to become doctors, lawyers, advisers, and bankers. And for that, they were paid cash and ended up with the capital required to run money-lending firms and banks. The Jews, in addition to possessing wealth and influence, also had knowledge, which set them apart. As they settled all over the known world, the Jews learnt both the language of the local people and their knowledge and wisdom. This knowledge was then dispersed among the Jewish people through their travels and by books which the Jews could read. Although the ideas spread, they remained within the Jewish community.
The first persecutions against the Jewish people were religious. Throughout the history of humanity, no group has been more exploited than the Jewish people and faced abuse throughout. The fate of the Jews is the fate of all minorities the world over. They are accepted when they pose no danger to their adopted society, but are turned against them whenever they might appear threatening. We do not hate an individual for his racial affiliation or belief, but we are made to hate a stereotype which we have often never met. Keeping themselves separate was the chief way in which the Jewish people would survive, yet it was also the main factor in their persecution.
