When I talk to my Jewish friends and family about this issue they say that the Jews are still blessed according to the promises God made with Abraham. When they say blessed, they mean earthly blessings such as wealth, prosperity, political power, etc. Albeit my family (extended as well) is now Christian, they are very Dispensational and believe that the Jewish people still are a special people set aside for God today. Discussions can get a little interesting since I approach the discussion from a Covenantal way, as opposed to the Dispensational, Messianic Jewish, or even Jewish way of looking at things. An example they always use to show that Jews are blessed is the overwhelming number of Jews in finance, retail, commerce in general, politics, entertainment, and so on. It is true, the Jewish people are at the top of these disproportionately compared to all the other people. I don't have a problem with this as I do with what it does to the dispensationally minded. They seem to lift the Jewish people to a level that does not seem healthy to me. In turn, for the Jews it gives a mentality of superiority (I've seen it personally myself, and it's ugly). Now in response to the blessings example of so many Jews being in the fields mentioned, how would you respond? It's not something you can hide, because the truth is that there really are that many Jews in key places all over the world.
